FEB 2018

Bonnie Spacey's sound is one characterised by unique contrasts and combinations with a root interest in organic instrumentation and a keen interest in the deeper shades of Disco, Techno and Electroclash being melded effectively in her productions and DJ sets.

Now - the french born and Berlin based maven encapsulates her knack for cogent contrasts across a heated 2-track EP for Exploited Club that weaves between Samba, Disco, Italo and House.

'Samba Disco' stamps a dominant foot on the floor as ripe, sturdy drums provide a stout foundation for pitch shifting delays and a searing hot synth climb. The vibe is arresting and highly spiced as the track continues to charter ever-elevating altitude in a manner that makes it easy to picture decadent dancefloor chaos.

'Light Shadow' follows up with a no-nonsense House groove that glows lucent with richly layered keys and an effortlessly sexy vocal. As is the case with the track's counterpart, the sounds are thick and palpable and the mood is intoxicating.

Chords burst with colour while pitch bending soars and energy courses towards a head-twisting breakdown that sends out more voltage to the floor and marks the closing chapter of an electrifying record that bears a distinctly Bonnie Spacey sheen.

Bonnie Spacey - Samba Disco (Exploited Club)

Exploited warmly welcome back FM4 resident Joyce Muniz who returns to the label and continues her incremental ascent with a slice of gratitude in the form of bumping, Lo-fi afro Italo.

'Mo Dupe' makes use of vocals from a Nigerian ritual that pays homage to the Goddess of abundance, Oxum. The raw, untreated timbre of the vocals are paired with a crunchy, textural bed as bit crushed drums bump with a palpable snap and a propulsive bass line bores straight through the heart of the groove like a train track.

Foggy synths and a hefty dose of spacious delay whip up a thick, intoxicating energy across a track that manages to be both singular and deeply playable.'

New Hook - What People Saw (Kate Stein Remix)

Jannowitz Records once again pushes boundaries with its latest Indie Dance release, a collaborative gem from MMYYLO, SNYL, and David LeSal. This tracks are a hypnotic blend of dark groove, retro flair, and emotional depth—seamlessly fusing analog synth textures with crisp modern production. From the very first beat, the guys builds a cinematic atmosphere, driven by pulsating basslines and airy pads that nod to the golden age of synthpop, while still feeling fresh and club-ready. MMYYLO’s signature melodic tension pairs beautifully with SNYL’s rhythmic sensibility, and David LeSal rounds it out with subtle but powerful sound design that keeps the energy evolving throughout the track. There’s a sense of storytelling in this release—it’s not just danceable, it’s immersive. Perfect for late-night sets, festival sunsets, or introspective solo listening, this release adds another strong chapter to Jannowitz’s ever-growing catalog of genre-defying dance music. Verdict: A beautifully constructed journey through the darker shades of Indie Dance—emotionally charged, rhythmically tight, and endlessly playable.

SNYL & MMYYLO - Future Echoes

HYPERFIXATIONS vol. 1 is the debut compilation from Portugal’s forward-thinking label Ritmo Futuro, showcasing tracks they’re obsessively drawn to—music that demands attention and lingers long after the party ends.

Curated by Rick Offen, this first volume captures the immersive state of sonic hyperfocus, where rhythm overtakes thought and music becomes pure sensation—like the trance-like focus of Formula 1 drivers.

The compilation spans hypnotic minimalism, percussive intensity, and futuristic textures—each track a moment of deep, instinctive connection.

'Lopezhouse have been quietly making impressive musical statements ever since they sauntered onto the global stage in 2015 with their Mude Tod debut EP for Claude Von Stroke‘s Dirtybird.
Sure, their tracks work like a charm on the dance floor. But what distinguishes Lopezhouse is how they eschew a cookie-cutter mindset and infuse unconventional ideas into each pristine production.’ (Bigshot Magazine)
Having released tracks on Solomun’s Diynamic and John Digweed’s Bedrock, Lopezhouse continue their relationship with Exploited. 
'December Sun‘ is an epic dancefloor journey through space and time. 
'San Pedro Feat. Angela' feels like the soundtrack to a Tarentino or David Lynch movie. Comes with a music video by Xavier Damase. Plus featuring a remix by Zombies in Miami from the Correspondant Crew.

Droog/Culprit: Love December Sun. It’s the standout for me. Zombies In Miami Remix works too.

As the New Year opens its doors on 2018, full of hope and promise, Proton Music uncovers another gem from the jewel-encrusted rock face of underground dance music. A beautifully polished sound now sees newcomer, Rudy, sparkle and shine with his "Time / Spirit" EP.

An artist who made an instant splash with his debut release on Subjekt Recordings, Brighton based producer, Rudy Dubé, scored an instant hit from his base on the English south coast with "Transformation". Released with remixes from fellow south coast resident and global star, Kris Davis, alongside Berlin based icon, Martin Roth, Rudy hit the ground at quite a pace in mid-2016.

Going on to release "Monday" on Chouette Music in late-2016, the "Qualia" EP for Los Angeles based imprint, Oleeva Records in May 2017 showcased Dubé's penchat for Deep House as the track lit up the scene, also appearing on James Warren's "Visceral" compilation series. With his flair for blending rhythm and melody in exciting and innovative fashion, a further remix for Nie Wieder Schlafen saw a sublime interpretation of Quatri's "Ozora" that hit the number one spot in "Proton Pack 149". A subsequent debut on Proton Music then saw Rudy taking on David Calo's techno monster, "Chronomatic" in December 2017.

Now Rudy returns to the label with a wonderful triptych that epitomises his unique and compelling sound. Opener, "Sea Change" hypnotises with its strong kick backbone and evolving arpeggio line that shimmers in delayed glory. A whispering hi-hat shuffle emerges at the mid-point while a rich sub-bass fills the low-end and rasping analogue bass stab commanding attention with its Moog-like characteristics. A beautiful organ interlude sees creates an intelligent pause in proceedings before arps and rhythm combine once more in the final movement.

The strong rhythmic qualities of its predecessor are fully to the fore in "Time" as a complex percussive cadence supplies the framework for a collage of sublime melodies and chord progressions to float effortlessly across a seven-minute voyage. Contemplative in tone, the track title is well-suited to the musical narrative held within. Capped by a trademark warm, rasping bassline. Rudy's skill and craft is in full evidence.

The final offering sees, "Spirit" take centre-stage with its elegant and free-flowing melodies and storming bass line. Fully reminiscent of the Moog-inspired work of Stephan Bodzin's "Powers of Ten", the beautifully crafted bass-lead supplies an astounding work that could have been crafted by the legend himself. The soaring strings and chord progressions add further depth and texture as a driving beat and triplet shakers create a genuine sense of dynamism.

Firmly on the underground map with his stunning brand of music, Rudy has the "Time" and "Spirt" to succeed at the very highest level.

Keep running with “Adulte Dunkeln“. The second vocal track with Aves Volare brings you a bit down. Love is the theme and “Never Thought“ balances the Ep between light and darkness.

About the EP :
Lunar Disco, a passion project from Nicolas Blistène & Kate Elsworth team up with fellow French duo Sucré Salé and Raw Main to create a charming three tracker for Kindisch – aptly titled ‘Winterfell.’ The title track first beats its drum patiently as the soundscape builds; a rich tapestry of arpeggiated synth and muted melodies that shimmer in the dawn light like drops of dew on a mountain flower. The French influences of ‘Balkan Consortium’ are unmistakable as charming harmonics chaperone the bouncy groove and the track unfolds to reveal its secrets. This one is made for a floor in waiting, with its roots set firmly in bouncy tech house territory. ‘Make it Beautiful’ calls on the soft melodies of the hang drum to deliver its soothing spirit, with a humble bassline keeping the low end thick as sweet surprises dance on top.

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.

'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)
