Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2023!
Shubostar’s colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s ’Milestones’, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios.
Brazil’s Renato Cohen is a perfect match for Sandhog’s ‘Accent’, bringing his new school electro/Italo touch to the proceedings with a knowing nod to New Order’s monumental classic ‘Blue Monday’.
‘Alte Liebe’ by Berlin’s Micropacer will send you over the edge. An absolutely stunning melodic progression underpins the undulating bass and relentless piano stomp of this one, recalling classic Italo / piano house with its jubilant feel and soaring pads.
AIKON from Kyiv reworks Claptone's classic 'United' from 2014 and gives it a heavy update for the dancefloor.
Joyce Muniz delivers dark Italo slammer 'Balin Bali', produced alongside rising Mexican star, Theus Mago.
‘Building Up’ by Enduro Disco is built on a solid foundation of nu disco texture but with a chunkier house edge.
On ‘High Energy’ by Mexican producer Levantine, distorted kicks suck at a tense synth arpeggio while in the distance a dramatic melody plays amidst a church-like reverb.
Barcelona’s Baldo revisits the gorgeously colorful ‘Dream Of You’ from Istanbul’s rising talent Zeynep Erbay, taking it on one hell of a trip.
NEAT’s ‘DYR’ is a beautiful, delicate, unhurried gem of a track, dripping in sensuality. Shimmering percussion and delayed claps lay a foundation atop sorrowful sustained organ-esque pads.
‘Fantasia’ by Kadosh builds slowly through a dramatic minor key bass line and shimmering metallic fuzz to suddenly explode into life with a stunning, sorrowful main riff that rocks a distorted 8-bit electro vibe.
Madrid duo Depaart rock the slick, acidic cut ’And You’ with a real air of sophistication about it.
Studio Barnhus affiliates Måns Glaeser (from swedish Off The Meds) and Basement Space team up for ‘Hollywood Cole’ - a cute breakbeat track peppered with old skool rap & diva vocals, shimmering electric piano chords and a thick, undulating bassline.
Marvin & Guy up the tempo for Joyce Muniz & Theus Mago’s track ’Balin Bali’ to a pacey house bounce and lay on some gentle electro textures.
London duo Make A Dance go deeper on their rework for Budakid’s ‘Milestones’, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place.
Fabrizio Mammarella does the damage on his version of ‘Nechama’ by Sandhog, teasing us slowly with ticking techno percussion that ebbs and flows, he gradually reveals the synth chords amidst giant snare hits and pulsing cymbal rides.
Atlanta-based Sejva closes the compilation with ‘We Only Want To Be Bad’, flexing Hi-NRG muscle with its off-beat bassline, snazzy melodies and campy vocals. A masterclass in retro revivalism.
All in all this is a great eclectic dance compilation.

Kirill Matveev - Never Losing That Track (Havantepe Radio Version) [Mud Trax]

Volition returns with an EP from the incredibly talented Portuguese artist Madd Rod. Set to release on Wednesday, November 20th, this EP delivers two strikingly atmospheric tracks, “Mind Invasion” and “Strangepain”, showcasing Madd Rod’s signature moody style that perfectly aligns with the label’s vision. 

Both tracks on the A-side take listeners on a slow-burning journey through dark disco, electronica and EBM, pulling them into Madd Rod's immersive soundscapes. On the B-side, renowned artist Mufti offers a powerful remix of Mind Invasion, seamlessly encapsulating his chugging, hypnotic style and bringing a fresh dimension to the track. 

Rounding off the EP is an evocative remix from the newly formed duo CLOSE PROXIMITY - comprised of Volition’s very own Frank Brady and Demack - who deliver a cinematic interpretation of Strangepain. Their remix is crafted as a sunrise anthem, marking a promising journey from beginning to end and providing the perfect finish to this captivating release.

Release date : 20/11/2024

Pleasure Seeker is Derek from the Italian duo Derek & DJLo (SXDNS047). Envisioning to explore his most inner influences, he decided to fly solo and now brings to life his very first EP: A fine darkness-meets-groovy single, filled with Italo Disco references and remixed with love by Alberto Melloni, Astore, Monao80, Moran, and Mystery Kid (SXDNS398).

The single is coming soon as part of the celebrations of the second anniversary of his own Nubians Of Plutonia Records, a rising & shining Milan-based label devoted to expanding the universe of beloved genres such as Proto House, Italo Body Music, EBM, and Indie Dance.  

The mastermind behind the remix we selected to review/premiere needs no introduction amid the retro-infused side of the electronic music scene. With acclaimed appearances on Mélopée, Raibano, Bordello A Parigi, Paradiso, Ulla, and Italo Moderni, just to mention a few, Alberto Melloni had his name carved in stone and became one of the most prominent artists of his generation.

For his debut on Nubians, maestro Melloni made the original live up to its name and turned it into a true singularity by bringing the theme to outer space and soaking it with Cosmic Disco elements such as deep leads and psychedelic synth layers resulting in a zero-gravity experience for dance floors.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://nubiansofplutoniarecords.bandcamp.com/

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)
