Berlin’s Micropacer debuts on Exploited Club with a superb 4-track EP of bright, melodic music following a string of releases on Ritmo Fatale, AEON Audio, and Melodize.

‘Fiji Water’ kicks off with strong fist-pumping intent and setting the Italo tone for the EP. Warm chord progressions play out on the most ‘80s of synths while the bass arps bubble away pleasingly and the interweaving percussion keeps an urgent yet uncluttered feel to the proceedings.

‘Tummo’ builds slowly and fixates on sprightly and piano chords and jaunty synth lines to keep the mood jubilant. Buzzing bass swells provide extra uplift while a big drum solo mid-way through perfectly recalls classic ‘80s pop/dance dubs. The tom fills are perfection and the breakdown reaches giddy new levels of euphoria.
.
Not smiling yet? Gosh, you’re a tough customer. ‘Alte Liebe’ 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. Huge.

‘1983’ is pure Italo / Hi-NRG pump, camply strutting its off-beat bass throb across the dancefloor as shards of sharp synth chords pierce through the mix and concoct a melancholy vibe alongside far-flung countermelody in the distance.

Italo Brutalo unveils his latest maxi single "You Make Me Feel So" 

Prepare for a sonic journey into the heart of the '80s synthwave resurgence as Italo Brutalo drops his latest maxi single "You Make Me Feel So". This three-track release showcases the artist's ability in melding nostalgic sounds with contemporary beats, promising a feast for both vintage enthusiasts and modern music lovers. It also includes a stunning remix from upcoming star and label colleague Kay-Chi. On top of that all Bungalo Disco created very special videos based on the original Roland TR-707 matrix display to complete the audio-visual concept. 

Tracklist: 

1. "You Make Me Feel So" (Original Mix): Immerse yourself in the infectious groove of the original mix, where Italo Brutalo skillfully utilizes iconic machines like the modded Roland TR-707 for drums, the Roland W-30 and Juno-106 for lush arpeggios and samples and the Akai MPC2000 for rhythmic precision. 

2. "You Make Me Feel So" (Kay-Chi Remix): The Kay-Chi remix takes the title track to new heights, infusing it with a contemporary edge. Expect a fresh perspective on the original enhanced by the iconic Kay-Chi style. 

3. "Diaphone": "Diaphone" introduces a captivating divergence, incorporating the distinctive tones of the Roland Jupiter-6 and a palette of '80s effects machines such as the Ibanez Delay, Roland Tape Delay and Alesis Nanoverb. Italo Brutalo weaves a sonic tapestry that transcends time, merging vintage charm with modern production finesse. 

Vintage Machines, Modern Magic: Italo Brutalo's commitment to authenticity shines through in his meticulous use of classic gear. The Roland W-30 and Akai MPC3000 lay the foundation, providing rhythmic backbone and textural richness. The Roland Jupiter-6 infuses the tracks with its unmistakable bass sequences while the Juno-106 contribute to the lush, analog atmospheres. 
Time-Tested Effects: The maxi single's sonic landscape is further enriched by the dreamy ambiance of old-school effects machines. The Ibanez Delay adds a touch of nostalgia, the Roland Tape Delay creates expansive sonic landscapes and the Alesis Nanoverb brings a subtle yet immersive dimension to the mix. 

"You Make Me Feel So" is available on bandcamp from November 24th. Italo Brutalo invites listeners to embark on this retro-futuristic adventure, where each track is a testament to the artist's ability to bridge the gap between the past and the present.

Chinaski - Come And Watch

Berlin based DJ and producer Michael Lane lands on Polari imprint with an energetic debut three-track EP entitled Leeloo.

Michael on the production process; "I love trying to find the sweet spot between fun and emotional, where you start clicking your fan then get swept up into something deeper. For this EP I relied on old favourites like cowbells, congas and squelchy bass as a foundation, then brought in sounds like Vangelis' CS-80, Prophet brass, and Mellotron choir to elevate things. I hope they hit that sweet spot and can be a tool to help transition a dancefloor from one feeling to another. I've been a big fan of Cormac for a long while, so it's an honour and an utter delight to be releasing these on Polari."


Cormac continues on Lane‘s release; I met Michael some time ago at the airport. He’s been sending me edits and tracks since then, many of which have ended up in my sets.

I think this ep is a great intro of Michaels musical style and knowledge. I’m touched that his debut EP is with Polari.


Out on 3rd of May digitally, the EP embodies a signature Polari sound transcending time and space and immersing listeners into a time capsule of sweaty disco all-nighters.

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.

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)
