Dusseldorf's Lorenz Rhode makes an alluring cocktail of '80s-influenced electro-funk, electrohouse and all-out pop.This is quality electronic dancefloor pop from the outset, and all the various sub-genres Lorenz tackles are injected with a winning quirkiness: He blends Italo retroism with playfully proged-up synth lines to great effect, while he strips the instrumentation right down to a bare-bones sound that's pure, krautrock-inspired synthesizer fun."Imagine Rick James dating Chaka Khan, dancing to Daft Punk and Technotronic, making sweet love to a Stevie Wonder ballad, when suddenly a group of German robots and a Yellow Magic Orchestra come rushing into the hotel suite and....they all decide to go to France instead." That's how Dusseldorf's Lorenz Rhode describes his sound and it's pretty on spot. Following a tasty EP for Compost Records a few years back, Rhode was signed to the excellent Exploited Records label, where he has been busy producing a slew of brilliant cuts, including "Motor Cortex" (single of the month in Mixmag) and the new "Something Hot"-EP, which is absolute dynamite and already gets love from Top-DJS as A-Trak, Sinden, DJ Mehdi, Aeroplane, Hudson Mohawke, Breakbot. "Something Hot" features the voice of Snax (Ex-Captain Comatose &amp; Supportact for Jamie Lidell, Peaches and The Scissor Sisters). Lorenz Rhode's music is equally at home at erm, homre, or on the dancefloor, and has a little something for the head and something for the feet and hips. The man got funk! Watch out for his remixes for Staygold, Moulinex and Strip Steve.


Lorenz Rhode feat. Snax - Something Hot (Preview) | Exploited

Old rogue Ananas, obsessed by music and awkward dance moves. 
Sweet inside, spiky on the outside. 
My sidekicks are bass guitar, dark rum, and disco balls.

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)
