X-PRESSINGS 022: Sleaze For Me (Eric From America Edit)

Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2024! 'Sex!' by duo Modular Project rolls out a neat and classy groove as the sturdy bones of a Disco beat thump under a snake-hip bass, serrated acid line and bold, unfiltered piano chords. Bearing flecks of Krautrock, Indie, Electronica and Funk, Made In TLV's 'Super Cool' is an anthem that traverses vast sonic territory. Diar Storm, Lost Boy 1984, Play Paul present a modern form of Dark Wave Electro that is, equal parts stroppy and sexy. 'Everything So' emits cathartic steam as vibrant synths burst with bittersweet chords and jagged staccato tones. 'Tainted In The Sun' by Niv Ast kicks off with a Manchester chorus beaming out over stroppy power chords. Gary Numan’s cross-continental hit 'Cars' from 1979 has been covered, sampled and reworked from vastly different pockets of the industry. Now - Laroz presents a rejuvenation of ’Cars’. 'Infinity' by Budakid is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish. 'Falling For You' by Komilev dials in that Panorama vibe packed with effervescent drama, soul and sass. 'Rompe Disco’ by Alex Medina bumps like House and glistens like an Italo whilst also exuding the moxie of Reggaeton.  'Foreign Affairs' by Micropacer follows with more early 80s flair.  Pole Position of Brunch In The Park Barcelona fame channel their complementary energies into 'Diamonds'; a recording inspired by Electro House that deftly straddles 80s New Wave, Prog and Indie. Moodymanc's 'Joy' twists Philadelphia soul sounds into a peak time house monster. Now re-edited for modern times in a special Breakbeat version.  São Paulo based Renato Cohen fires up his arsenal of analogue gear and adds a bright and burly Italo cut with ’Lemon Key’. Zeynep Erbay’s ’Neon Palm’ sits comfortably alongside modern Indie Dance, Italo Disco and House alike.  Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén’s ’Feeling Mumbled’ Remix is an ultimately playable DJ tool; one that renders an after hours sunrise as chords bounce of the tracks surface like rays of light while tight, nifty shuffles interlock with a bouncing bass line.  Austin Ato fleshes out some deliciously hallucinogenic Italo synths in his Remix version of ’Super Cool’ by Made In TLV. ’Acid Infatuation’ by Levantine is a sound that occupies a sweet spot between Eurodance and Italo.  Black Hawks of Panama steps in with ’Wrapped’.The ingredients are simple: a slapping disco kit, Alpha Juno, zesty guitar licks and an anthemic vocal. The result is a contagious Italo march that burrows deep under the skin; put simply - a slice of pure rapture. 'Good Times' by Renato Cohen sparks things up with bright, muscular drums that pave the way for a rasping bass line - a killer DJ tool. Raw energy is spat out while snares clash and vocals march along with an intensity that doesn't let up.  Captain Mustache’s ’Diavola’ flexes low-mid tones warble in lock step with strapping drums and an earworm synth line. ’Heart Life' by NEAT adds a further facet to the compilation with an allaying Italo-tinged groove.  In ’Neonim’ by Laroz, a gently jagged bass line bubbles away, creating a buoyant bed for expertly crafted drums which pop out with expressive alacrity. Dulcet piano tones form a bond with amber-tinged synths as warming soundscape is developed. James Curd throws a dart straight to the dance floor with the jazz-tinged House jam ’Feeling Mumbled’ built from a classy palette of samples.  Sandhog closes the album with the highly memorable recording 'Berlin' that speaks to the power of simplicity.

Micropacer - Foreign Affairs (Exploited)

Melopee Records proudly presents the return of their favorite French Italo sensation, Brandski!

The Prophecy takes listeners on an exhilarating journey through the realms of High Energy and Italo Disco. Anchored by a pulsating, irresistibly catchy bassline and radiant, melodic synths, this track pays homage to the vibrant tempos and relentless grooves of 1980s club anthems.

On the flip side, U.S.A. delivers a dancefloor-ready fusion of Italodisco's melodic charm and Dance music's electrifying energy. With driving rhythms and progressive builds, the track reaches an intoxicating crescendo, crafted for moments of peak euphoria.

Hey Cabrera! lends his talents to the eponymous title track, introducing a slower rhythm and a more pumping vibe. A sudden acid-infused melody surfaces, adding a distinct 90s edge that perfectly complements the Italo aesthetic.

Next, Daichi, a rising star from Japan, delivers a remix blending the soulful elements of House with Acid-inspired sounds. Featuring a hyper-groovy bassline and hypnotic rhythms, this track channels the spirit of 90s Chicago club culture.

Closing out the remix sessions, Jason Core returns with a quintessential Italodisco-inspired remix. With rolling basslines, pulsating pads, and precise rhythms, his rendition encapsulates the essence of pure Italodance, guaranteed to set any dancefloor ablaze.

Melopee Records invites all listeners to experience this remarkable celebration of dance music's timeless appeal.

FEINSTOFF PREMIERE: Brandski - The Prophecy (Daichi Remix)

INCOMING : Astore - Sunshower #ClubMackan
Release date : 20/12/2024
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/release/sunshower/4852698

As we approach Christmas, one might expect snow to blanket the north. Instead, we’re showered in sunlight as the bright and brilliant Astore makes his debut on the label.

With beautiful arpeggios, lush pads and pristine synth melodies that sparkle like stars in a winter night sky, Astore delivers a very familiar and nostalgic feeling to something that is ironically brand new. Joining this voyage through time are two exceptional producers, Kay-Chi and Ilya Santana, each adding their unique perspective of nostalgia.

Kay-Chi delivers a straightforward remix of Sunshower—literally. With no key changes, it takes a steady and focused path, driving straight toward its ultimate destination: the dance floor.

Ilya Santana, on the other hand, reimagines Flashback as a synthwave anthem, and we absolutely love it. His take captures the retro spirit in a way that feels unmistakably rooted in the era we’ve landed in.

This EP isn’t just a trip back in time—it’s a celebration of the era that inspired it all. And we’re confident you’ll love the journey as much as we do.

NYC-based imprint 99FVR returns with its third release - 'Cielo EP'. Crafted by Mexican duo KickZologo & WRDO, this spicy collaboration showcases the pair’s decade-long friendship and shared journey through Mexico’s vibrant electronic music scene.

Cielo, which translates to ‘Heaven’ is a hypnotic trip driven by punchy basslines, swirling layers, and dynamic hi-hats. Dedicated to getting dancefloors moving, 'Activated' brings a sassy, yet spacey, stomper to the pack. 'iNsOmNiA' takes a brighter approach, with atmospheric pads and groovy percussion, creating a euphoric energy with soft vocals whispering in one’s ear.

On the remix duties, Philadelphia duo Zillas on Acid take on Cielo, injecting snappy percussion, dubby vocals, and an unexpected time-straddling vibe. The addition of dusty synth textures and otherworldly energy gives the track a fresh, reimagined edge. Closing out the EP is Capes’ mesmerizing retake on Activated. Los Angeles-based Ray Barragan, one half of Club Tularosa, transforms Activated into a twisted and cinematic weapon for the darkest of dancefloors.

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)
