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 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.

Ulla Records is back with another VA : « Shifted Frequencies ». For our two years anniversary we wanted to treat you with something special, our first physical release, on vinyl !

Now you know our mojo : to explore that 80s inspired, wonky disco sound, in all its shapes and forms ! From Italo to acid, EBM or New Wave, we wanted to showcase some of the multiple facets of the label, our interpretation of these « Shifted Frequencies ». Between France, Italy, UK & Germany, we gathered a fine selection of talented artists, a mix of familiar faces and new encounters.

We’re thrilled to welcome Younger Than Me and REES for the first time on the label, and equally so to have Alberto Melloni back with us, alongside label founders Austher and Naranja. All together, they captured some fragments of our shifted frequencies.

This one's for you dancers !

POL020 VA - No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2

Release date: 31-01-2024

The Queer Northern-Ireland born Cormac is back from another busy year as a label honcho and curator with the second Polari compilation No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2 scheduled for release 31st of January 2024.

The compilation is filled with synth heavy swings, acid basslines, steamy vocals and lots of fun, making NTITB Vol. 2 the perfect entrance release into the new year.

Cormac says; No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2 is a unique family with offerings from Polari hitmakers such as Jordan Nocturne, ROTCIV, & Louis de Tomaso as well as introducing new talent to the roster including DJ City, Nimmo, Shay Shaz, Hifi Sean, Joshua James + Xols.

I curate the compilation much as I do a DJ set, so there is a voyage of sorts in listening to the compilation as a whole. I encourage the listener to listen as you would an album, although they of course work solo as well.

A 10-track long journey forms a unique force of anthemic sounds, tapping into nostalgia but never pulling away from today's references. No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2 serves as a dance-heavy pursuit aiming to not hold back.

The label profits from the new compilation are going to charity. Polari has previously raised money for All Out. Doctors Without Borders is a politically neutral Non-Governmental Organisation whose main objective is to treat people in regions of the world where they are most needed. They are currently most active in Gaza and have a further 70 projects active in the world.


 

PREMIERE: Micropacer - Hollow Talk [POLARI]

Packim, from Italy, is far from a beginner.
After signing in recent years with the renowned labels Exploited, Multinotes or Nothing Is Real, we are happy to have him with us.

For his debut on Mélopée Records, he hits hard with two fresh and retrofuturistic original tracks.

“Acid Cocktail” is a true acid anthem to happiness and life.
The main melody continually resonates in our head, carried by a rhythm from best Packim’s drum machines.
Then, in the break, the piano House enchants the souls.
And when the track drops, we are carried away in a burst of joy and smiles.

The second one “Horny Run” is also full of good feelings.
Light and sparkling, the music wanders between acid, house & Italo touch.
A pure 90s inspired dancefloor retro hit !

Welcome to the wonderful Modular Project to remix the eponym track.
The Milanese duet drops here a pure house banger, repeating the second melody in a groovy piano version and always keeping an acid touch. Perfect one for Indian summer.

Our second remixer is none other than the talented Micropacer.
He brings to the title “Horny Run” a real additional vibe between Italo and Synthwave.
The chords are mastered, beautiful, sensitive.
A hyper positive track !

PREMIERE: Micropacer - Ich will nur dich [MELODIZE017]

 Hey Cabrera! is a DJ, producer and songwriter based in Turin, Italy. His sound is fluid and rubbery, often reflecting the current mood. Growing up with influences like The Stooges and Suicide, Hey Cabrera! spends his nights crafting indie-dance tracks that blend Italo, disco and house.

He garnered Italian radio airplay with the single "Ca Va? Je T’Aime!", an extravagant electronic nursery rhyme featuring DJ Protopapa and Emmanuelle. Having released numerous remixes, including for the iconic Italian diva Ornella Vanoni and even Euro-pop legends Ricchi e Poveri, his work has made its way onto esteemed Spotify playlists like Italo Disco, Glow and Poolside.

His first EP was released in 2024 on Bordello a Parigi, featuring two unreleased tracks, "Italo Void" and "Forelskelse" along with remixes by Lauer and David Bay. This was followed by another EP, "The Moment”, released by Frank Music the label run by DJ Johannes Albert.
 
Now it’s time for the “AI Agent Says Hello” EP, set to be released on January 31 through Feinstoff Berlin.

The main track is inspired by artificial intelligence: a buzzword for sure, but... Can you groove to it? With "AI Agent Says Hello" Hey Cabrera! reimagines the future through the lens of the past, crafting an uplifted song that feels both retro and ahead of its time.  
This indie-dance gem hums at 127 BPM, a pulse that marries the warm energy of piano house with the shimmering, futuristic melodies of Italo disco. The result? A beat that straddles decades, transforming any space into a euphoric blend of yesterday’s nostalgia and tomorrow’s possibility.

Micropacer’s Take: With a wink to Italohouse and hypnotic textures, this remix conjures spinning retro strings that weave a spellbinding sonic magic.

Kocleo’s Spin: Stripping it down to a tight percussive groove, this version hones in on pure rhythm. A relentless heartbeat primed to keep bodies moving and spirits lifted.

Are you ready to time-travel through sound? These anthems are your invitation to dance into the future while holding hands with the past.

FEINSTOFF PREMIERE: Hey Cabrera! - AI Agent Says Hello! (Micropacer Remix) [FEINSTOFF]

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)
