Dutch electro producer Lloyd Stellar brings his magic touch to Exploited Club on two fierece tracks following on from acclaimed releases on esteemed imprints ranging from 20/20 Vision to Avoidant, BroknToys and Science Cult.

‘Digital Hallucinations’ takes a haunted, Burial-esque pitched-down vocal sample, drenched in reverb, and floats it over a punishing, pacey breakbeat rhythm. Bruising bass relentlessly pummels as bleepy rhythms pulse, delay and filter around the mechanical rhythms. The tripped town textures in the higher registers cut against the hard underbeat to make both your head and your body spin.

‘Hibernating Machines’ journeys further into the deep with almost tribal bass sweltering underneath mystical pad sound and modulating drones. The percussion chatters, convulsing in response to those earth-shattering sub waves, and a dizzying synth lie rises from the depths to pull you further into the hypnotic heart of this spacious track.

@igloomag Review 
https://igloomag.com/reviews/lefrenk-plastic-ecu
Adrien d’Elzius has a knack for sounds that are vibrant, beat infused and experimental. This time, he takes it further to a cohesive blend of funk stabs at a pace driven by a power bassline. The track “Phrygian (Adrien d’Elzius remix)” stays true to the bass heads with never a dull moment. I am finding myself nodding to the beat of this thunderous groove. Discovering the tracks he unveils from his music catalog is always an exciting experience.

All orders include PDF A4 high resolution poster artwork by Emile Facey.

Tracklist : 
1. Tidal Flexing
2. Reflective Waves
3. System's Edge
4. Mind Drift

releases August 21, 2023

Written, produced and designed by Emile Facey at Plant43. Mastered by Pritchcraft. Distribution by Juno records.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Juno's Review : "Plant43 wrote a trio of EPs over the winter season at the end of 2022 and the start of 23 and has been putting them out on his own Plant43 Recordings label. This third part from the man born Emile Facey is another emotional rollercoaster that conveys the wintry scenes in which they were written while also taking you on to the more warm and optimistic light of spring. Lithe electro rhythms and icy synths open up on 'Tidal Flexing' while 'Reflective Waves' gets a little darker and more intense. 'System's Edge' is a celestial cruise with quick, slick drums and masterful leads then 'Mind Drift' channels Drexcyian cyborg funk to close. The final part of the story comes on coloured vinyl but only in limited quantities."

The Sound Of E (A*S*Y*S Remix)

Get ready for Summer as Joluca and Thomas Garcia join forces to deliver their most ambitious project to date. Over two years in the making, “Just a Dream" is a testament to their creative energies, featuring original vocals, guitar, and bass that seamlessly blend into an infectious track that’ll surely be heard on dance floors all season long.
On remix duties, the boys connected with long time favorites Lauer and Felipe Gordon. In his signature style, Lauer injected 80s flavor transforming the vocal-laden original into an Italo-tinged dub with soaring acid lines and snappy snares. From the other side of the globe,
Felipe took the track in a totally different direction, crafting an almost nine minute cosmic adventure with emotive strings and thundering bass.
Completing the package is a VIP mix that strips things back and turns up the bass for a more minimal, DJ-friendly take on the original.
Scheduled for release this July, "Just a Dream" sets the stage for the complete EP, available digitally and on vinyl this Fall.

Legendary German techno duo Pan-Pot announce their brand-new project ‘FORTE’, a collection of ten singles. Each track presents individually, each telling their own unique story influenced by the duo’s ever-evolving sound over the years - something that has kept them perpetually current. The culmination also marks a milestone 20th anniversary for the duo, serving as a resounding reminder of why they have been at the forefront of the scene for over two decades.

’FORTE’ meaning strong, translates all the good and bad times we have had, in a way that reflects on our sound. It's a journey of reflection, reinvention, and inspiration from our travels around the world and the people we have met along the way. The tracks emulate the past, present, and future, in a range of styles, but most importantly they are all tracks which we love and enjoy playing. We wanted to create our own original music again, and this project has been long in the making to celebrate 20 years of Pan-Pot” - Thomas & Tassilo (Pan-Pot)

Canary Islands' Alex Medina heads up Mumbai Records, and his work goes from deep house to deep techno via well-crafted electronica. He always looks outside the usual rules with his music and has also released on the likes of Innervisions, Diynamic and Laurent Garnier's CODE3 QR label. 

Opener 'Trio Infernale' kicks off the EP, with a slinky bassline and shuffling groove led by a freaky lead synth sound over heavy and dubby low ends. Add the trippy vocal loops, and you have a track to build incredible momentum in any set. 

Up next is 'Un Memento', a writhing, fizzing fusion of synthetic lines, skewed synths and gurgling bass that fires your synapses and makes for an energising experience as the drums roll on. It's texturally rich and perfect for intense dance floor experiences. 

First to remix is Redshape, a legendary mask wearer from Germany with a lo-fi and dusty take on deeply atmospheric techno on labels like Delsin and Running Back. His superb version slows things down, strips them back to the wobbly acid bass and allows the minimal drums to roll into an unknown future full of subtle tension that keeps you locked. 

The revered Hungarian party starters and label heads Secret Factory then add their remix. It's a brighter, loose cut with hopeful melodies and reflective cosmic chords, adding an uplifting style to the original. The ‘Trio Infernale’ EP is another brilliantly left-of-centre release of rich club sounds from Secret Fusion.

EXTIMA proudly welcomes two spectacular Hungarian artists; Gaga and Mateo! to the artist roaster. The kings of dark minimal techno deliver an original track; " Legends" that embodies the true essence of dark minimal techno. The meticulously controlled pacing of the track keeps the tension taut throughout its duration, allowing each sonic element to breathe and cast an eerie spell on the listener. Enjoy the sonic exploration of the darker corners of the mind. The label co-owner, Zafer Atabey, made a peak time techno version of the original to support the release. The remix transforms the original's minimalistic darkness into an electrifying peak time journey. The once-subtle beats now pound with unrelenting force, creating a driving rhythm that's impossible to resist. The remix retains the eerie synth motifs from the original, but they've been infused with a surge of energy that ignites the dance floor. Enjoy a sonic journey that navigates the thin line between darkness and exhilaration.

After releasing tracks and remixes on Ritmo Fatale, Ombra International, or Days of Being, Agle joins Espacio Cielo with 'Full of Stars EP'. 80s club sounds such as Disco and New Wave inspire his tone. Mixed up with mysterious drum machines, garnished with dusty analogue synths.

At the remixes, Silicodisco and the collaboration between Espacio Cielo heads Moo Moonster & Parissior.

A long-time resident at Barcelona’s legendary Razzmatazz and label head of Factor City for two decades, Undo is a Spanish mainstay with countless releases that have garnered support from the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Roman Flugel and Erol Alkan. He teams up with fellow Spaniard and synth-pop wizard Casiowaves to return for their second collaborative release on Melodize after last year's 'Predict The Future' EP.

The straight-forward 'Casiobass' kicks off with fizzing synth lines, chugging dark disco drums, a fat bass and circling pads. 'Overcruiser' is a pumping, Italo-influenced cut with retro-future chords and a clean, cosmic feel, while 'Something Blue' layers up the crispy analogue drums with sonar pulses, deadpan cold wave vocals and majestic leads that bring color and vibrancy.

Drummer-turned electronic producer and live act Nhar, who boasts an impressive discography spanning two decades, makes his debut on the label with a remix of 'Waves to Come' that brings a widescreen serenity and calm to the original through pensive chord work and starry keys twinkling in the distance. The original then closes out with Balearic guitar licks, punchy drums, and rich bass for a fusion of retro sounds with futuristic sentiment. From the driving Casiobass to the Balearic, serene 'Waves to Come,' Undo & Casiowaves have served up offerings for all hours with the versatile 'Casiobass' EP.

Javier Ferreira and Persona RS, the electrifying duo, returns to Duro Label with ‘Shifting Sands’ EP. The sonic masters duo are ready to dazzle once again with their creativity on this work. Following their astounding appearance on the ‘Muy Duro Vol X’ compilation, these skillful producers come together once more on a sonic journey that blends the intricate nuances of trance and techno, creating a unique musical experience.

The record kicks off with a hypnotic awakening through the original version of "Shifting Sands". This track is a whirlwind of energy, a fusion of acidic elements and dreamlike atmospheres. The journey delves into a new dimension with Elfenberg's remix. The virtuoso Swedish producer transforms "Shifting Sands," bringing his distinctive approach to the mix. With its broken drum rhythms, resonating basslines, and acidic melodies, Elfenberg weaves a hypnotic sonic tapestry. The addition of ethereal vocals and celestial pianos creates an astonishing sound palette.

The journey culminates epically with the striking "Trompe." This track is an adventure in itself, with synthesizers weaving hypnotic patterns as rhythms and vocals gradually fade away.

Javier Ferreira and Persona RS's "Shifting Sands" EP will be available on all major streaming platforms starting from September 22, 2023.

Shir Khan started Exploited in 2007. Exploited Rec now plays host to some wide-ranging and innovative electronic talent - including Adana Twins, Claptone, Budakid, Joyce Muniz, James Curd, Shir Khan (to name a few) - and its artists have been receiving numerous supportive spins from the likes of Solomun, Pete Tong, Soul Clap, Wolf&Lamb, Azari&III, Jesse Rose, Axel Boman and A-Trak.
This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel. "Exploited" take you on an invigorating roller coaster ride back to your youth when you first listened to dance music with all the thrills and spills you so enjoyed about clubbing. It's heavy, exciting and special.
'"Exploited Records" is a seamless melting pot of varied styles that simply can't fail to please even the most discerning ears. Highlights here are plentyful. Not to be missed at any cost.' (Clash)
'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
