I’m back with a rework of another all-time cut, Pet Shop Boys’ It’s A Sin. 
As someone coming from Eastern Europe I’ve been a bit overexposed to Chris & Niel’s discography because of their Go West hit, which overflooded the region in the 90’s (though it was originally a Village People song, not related to the Cold War). 
Yet, as my previous cover (New Order’s Blue Monday), this song has been haunting me for years and I couldn’t help but do something with it. While trying to respect their original intent, I tried to give it a current sound. Once more, the original multitrack session files have been made available, which is a blessing. 
Enjoy it, download it, spin it to entertain your beloved audience. 
The cover art is inspired by John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness (1987), released the same year.

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.

A long term affair with the label finally leads to Vasconcellos’ debut on Inner Shah Recordings. The Brazilian artist unveils Italo Metálico EP, as a sweaty homage to the Italian Disco classics with a modern twist.

“Italo Metálico” features classical 80s elements, mixed with a robotized vocal, and a pinch of distortion and analog warmth. “Acid Dream” sets the tempo higher, with an energetic approach aimed at the dancefloors. This iconic B-side is driven by an infectious bassline and dreamy synths, that complement the opening track with more energy.

Although the originals were already secret club weapons, the EP becomes even more special with participations of Bizzarro Universe and Mike Sacchetti on remix duties. The Hamburg duo Bizzarro Universe brings in their infusion of Italo Trance with Eurodance, in a fun and chaotic approach, whereas Mike Sacchetti brings in a nostalgic club-driven touch.

London-based producer Lucas Harrington releases ‘All The Time EP’ on the revered melodic imprint, OVAVA Music. The two-track EP demonstrates Harrington’s approach to Deep House, electronic music, and Afro House, balancing immersive sound design with club-ready rhythms.
The title track, ‘All The Time’, blends Afro House rhythm with Amapiano-inspired bounce, built around crisp percussion, a rolling low end, and a vocal hook for the dancefloor. ‘Latenite’ offers a darker, peak-time contrast, driven by tight rhythms, electronic textures, and layered melodic elements.
Lucas Harrington, a 19-year-old London-based music producer who works at the intersection of Deep House, electronic music, and Afro House, has allowed his sound to develop and evolve naturally. His productions combine emotional depth with precision, resulting in tracks that are immersive, expansive, and dancefloor-ready. Drawing on experiences from both mountain and city life, he creates music that effortlessly juxtaposes organic warmth with rhythmic complexity. Harrington continues to build a body of work that reflects a cosmopolitan sensibility and a strong commitment to craft.
‘All The Time EP’ marks the 12th release on OVAVA Music, a label that has quickly established itself as a leading tastemaker in the underground electronic scene. Label head Ollie Mundy continues to grow his reputation as both an artist and curator, performing across Europe and the US, and hosting a monthly show on Bloop Radio as well as a residency with Organica in Ibiza. Beyond studio releases, Ollie continues to command global dancefloors with his performances. This season, he has held residencies at Pikes Ibiza for Back To Mine, Organica Radio, and performed at seminal events, including 528 Ibiza, supporting Sasha & John Digweed. Recently, OVAVA Music took another exciting step with a showcase at Café del Mar in Ibiza, bringing the label’s signature sound to one of the island’s most iconic venues. His Burning Man mixes have surpassed 5.2 million views, while support continues to flow in from heavyweights including Black Coffee, Damian Lazarus, Themba, MoBlack, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Claptone, DJ Harvey, Tony Humphries, and many more. Sharing the focus with his growing OVAVA family, the brand has become a firm favourite of international playlist curators, radio shows, and DJs.
Ollie Mundy shares
“What started as a personal creative outlet has now evolved into a platform for emerging talent. It’s incredibly rewarding to provide a space for new artists to thrive and grow alongside the label. This evolution also brought the launch of OVAVA Music Radio, a 24/7 stream of seamless, ad-free music curated to reflect the deep, emotive sound we stand for. Over the next year, we’ll be introducing exclusive DJ shows from our artist roster and special guest selectors, bringing even more discovery into the mix.”

INFO:
It’s 2020, the dusty Pets plain spreads out before you. Nothing but sand, cactus plants and a bottle of good old red eye are all you have for company. Then you hear the shots. They’re fired with such flare they can only be from one man… Renato Cohen AKA the ‘Lone Ranger’
He fires in such a way you can’t help but move your feet. Then you move your hips. Then your head. Then your heart. You’re in funky town now and Renato’s the mayor. He leads with the disco bubbles and slinky restrained funk of ‘Lone Ranger’ before moving on to the heavier weaponry; the cowbell riddled, hoover-rattled stomper ‘Deocleciana’ and the bassline-plunging, deep funk hustling swagger of ‘Bismuth’.
And it seems our lonesome techno patrolman isn’t working alone… ‘Bismuth’ is also backed by an incredible remix from Jennifer Cardini. Ramping up the energy with a precision arpeggio bassline and injecting an entirely different sense of uplift with a lavish synth melody, it shoots from the hip in the most euphoric of ways.

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)
