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.

Making waves previously on Exploited as well as on Blue Shadow and Monaberry (alongside AIKON), dentist-cum-producer Sandhog is back with another hot EP.

Oriental vibes abound on the beguiling ‘Bonifacio’, where a punchy kick underpins on-beat electric bass in driving fashion, and a beautiful plucked Eastern instrument laces the track with metallic, pitch-bending mysticism. Somewhere in the distance a Thai-funk-esque electric guitar solo noodles away as hypnotic Thai vocal wails draw us in further.

‘Oishii’ snaps along with an electro-tinged swagger, with old skool funked-up bass giving the track a real wiggle amidst tight percussion. Subtle chord sequences and sassy male vocals colour in the gaps, with rasping synths heightening the breakdown tension. A sweet double-time synth hook pushes the track along with renewed vigour after the drop, and acidic squelches add a thicc layer to the bass.

Packim returns to Exploited following the success of ‘Super Future’, and his signing to hot Israeli label Blue Shadow Records. With a feature on Whomadewho’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix to boot, his star is well on the ascent.

A rousing Italo disco throwback, ‘Tanzen’ sucks you in with its bouncing off-beat bass groove, authentic ‘80s drum hits and dazzling arpeggios. The tension is kept high with sustained pad notes and more dreamy melodic motifs, before a vocoder-charged breakdown ascends into heavenly reaches. The unfolding chord progression brings a sensual touch as the beat shifts into a peppy breakbeat, and judicious use of reverb fills the edges of the track out beautifully. Dreamy, yet driving stuff, it was written during the pandemic with the inspiration of uniting once again on a dancefloor, and finally gets its chance to make a mark on the world.

‘Zusammen Alleine’ is similarly charged with emotion, focusing on another rampant off-beat groove and soaring leads. Classic synth sounds fill this crisp track, building a blissed-out feel. Gated rhythms and subtle vox synths allude to classic trance, while the gorgeous breakdown has a touch of ambient / new age deliciousness to it.

AIKON returns to Exploited with two hot new tracks after storming the Beatport Indie Dance chart in 2021 with releases on Diynamic and Musumeci’s Multinotes label. With further releases on Monaberry and Disco Halal, he has been seriously in demand. He’s also putting out music through Adana Twins’ TAU imprint this year.

‘Night Rider’ is a killer, authentic electro groove, where vintage drum machines mete out a tough breakbeat rhythm and nagging bass synths pulse under formant-shifting mouth harp style synths and a dramatic lead hook. A moody breakdown reveals a juicy 8-bit vibe melody, and everything comes together beautifully after a teasing build and dramatic drum fills provide some punctuation. 

‘Street Dancer’ continues the sparse feel with metallic textures grinding against another stark, spacious breakbeat rhythm, and tightly-clipped synth arpeggios that recall Kraftwerk in their minimalist efficiency. An old skool breakbeat fills in the breakdown, and various subtle FX and vocal samples pad out the track with a heady, atmospheric feel.

Aiwaska’s status keeps growing from strength to strength with every release. He has recently been remixed by the likes of Patrice Bäumel, Tensnake, Audiofly and Jenia Tarsol, and with collaborations with the likes of The Egyptian Lover, Robert Owens, Starving Yet Full (Azari&III) and Idd Aziz, his tracks are always full of life and attitude. For this hot new single, he teams up with Circus Company artist Aquarius Heaven for a salacious bomb.

From the most simple of elements you’re immediately hooked. A throbbing kick, tom and woodblock groove sucks you into the track, with Aquarius Heaven’s warped, twisted-sounding vocal soon adding a dramatic feel. Stuttering hi-hats continue the ‘80s acid house percussive feel, but they’re soon augmented by a tight closed hat and phat claps. Pulsing monotone bass cuts through the track as dark pad tones rise in and out of the mix. The debauched vocal hook fits the track perfectly (“Fuck it baby, I’m dirty”), adding a seedy feel as heady synth blasts pepper the mix.

There’s not a melody in earshot in this moody track, and none is needed. The interplay of different atmospheres, morphing textures, subtle percussive twists and expert production make this an absolute juggernaut of a track that blends techno, house and electro references. Weapons-grade material.

Did someone order a piano banger? Black Hawks Of Panama debuts on Exploited with an absolute monster in the form of ‘Hurts’ that’s set to get pulses racing and fists pumping skyward, ready for the Ibiza season.

Supremely chunky ‘90s house beats with a gently distorted techno undertone pummel away underneath the phat bassline whose tone is perfectly balanced between weight and melodic overtones. Piano chords bang a jaunty, rave-influenced hook, and Bisi’s sweet vocals provide a sensual, soulful counterpoint. Little else is needed to make this track thump hard except subtle sustained strings and big cymbal crashes, and there’s an instrumental available which cuts to the meat of the track.

And who is Bisi? She’s better known as British actress Victoria Ekanoye, a woman of many talents who featured on Black Hawks’ previous single on Future Disco ‘Mercer Street’. She starred in the West End musical ‘The Lion King’, toured the US with ‘The Blues Brothers’ and fronted the show as Mistress of Ceremonies at both the London and New York infamous nightspot ‘The Box’. She takes her influences from blues, jazz, Stax-era soul and trip-hop.

“Our mutual friend Lisa Forshaw had worked as a PR for Victoria whilst she was on the nation's most popular TV show” says Black Hawks Of Panama. “Lisa got in touch with me and explained I should work with Victoria. Immediately I was struck with vocal range but also her presence as a performer. So I hired a commercial recording studio in Manchester as we didn’t know each other then and we agreed 'Feel For You' would be a great track to do as it’s a joint favourite! Although I didn’t want a carbon copy of the Chaka classic—I don’t see the point in that—I wanted something more lowdown and sultry! After a great first session we discussed Bowie, Prince and Patti Labelle, so it was pretty clear from this point this was going to work out well!!”

The Mancunian producer behind the track took his name from an inspirational time spent in Panama City and its surrounding rainforests. Born to parents who both had influential roles in the Manchester music scene of the 1970s and 80s, he has spent time living in Ibiza and DJed under another name for many years. Black Hawks of Panama is a project that’s going from strength to strength, and this hot new single looks set to break down yet more doors for him.

Ukrainian breakout talent Korolova remixes Kasablanca’s ‘In Sequence’. 

Acclaimed electronic duo Kasablanca follow up the release of their second EP on Anjunabeats, ‘Lucid Audio’, with Korolova’s remix of ‘In Sequence’. An homage to 90's rave music mixed in with Kasablanca’s contemporary melodic techno sound, the original mix received support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, R3HAB, Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Shane 54 and many more.

Kasablanca exploded onto the scene in summer 2020 with their collaboration with Lane 8, ‘Run’. What followed was a dream run: their debut album ‘Human Learning’, a Juno Award-nominated collaboration with Bob Moses in ‘Afterglow’, and joining us at Anjunabeats to release the ‘Immunity EP’, as well as remixing Above & Beyond’s ‘Black Room Boy’ as part of the ‘10 Years of Group Therapy’ celebrations.

The duo recently completed their ‘Am I Dreaming?’ tour, which took them to eight sold-out venues across North America, plus festival appearances in Brazil and India. Their live show (best described as Justice meets Queen meets Stephan Bodzin) is more comparable to a full-on performance like a rock show than a typical clubbing experience, replete with Prince-esque swagger and an extensive rig of analogue synthesizers on stage. Next up for them: supporting Above & Beyond at their sold-out Printworks London takeover, and joining our Anjunafamily pilgrimage to the Gorge for Group Therapy Weekender.

Ukrainian DJ and producer Korolova boasts over 875k monthly listeners on Spotify and has released on Shen, REALM, Island/UMG, Ultra, Black Hole, Get Physical, and Armada. She racked up over 10M streams on her 2022 track with Spada, ‘Be Strong’, and amassed over 100K streams on her recent single ‘Lost In Space’ with Franky Wah within its first two weeks of release. Her tracks have been supported by the likes of Tiesto, Pete Tong, Nora En Pure, Vintage Culture, Guiseppe Ottaviani and beyond. 

Kasablanca’s ‘In Sequence’ (Korolova Remix) is out now on Anjunabeats.

Kasablanca also is making a return to Red Rocks Amphitheater with Above & Beyond this October.

Øostil has carved out a reputation as a highly sought-after act in melodic techno. He frequently tours alongside staple acts on the Afterlife roster and will soon embark on a seismic world tour extending over 26 shows across four continents. The Argentine has featured in both Billboard LA and Forbes Latin America, and his tracks have been spun by the likes of Tale of Us, Dom Dolla, John Summit, CamelPhat, David Guetta, Tiesto and beyond.

Liverpool-based duo Matrefakt land on Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records for their first release on the label: a four-track EP of undeniable dance floor weapons.

The last half-decade has seen Matrefakt release a steady stream of high-quality dance records with minimal fuss, and the support speaks for itself: Peggy Gou, Skream, Patrick Topping, Anja Schneider, DJ Boring, Richie Ahmed, Sally C, Sarah Story — the list goes on, and when you listen to their music, their rapid rise comes as no surprise. They’re also regulars at their city’s famed Circus parties, while the last two years have seen them play key sets at Creamfields, Hideout, Watergate and more. 

Their first EP for Gudu is the definition of doing a lot with a little: samples are often looped across one or two bars, but Matrefakt know how to use them for maximum effect, building up tension with chopped vocals or looped bubbles and beeps over raw, loose and chunky drum patterns — just how we like it. After Peggy playing multiple Matrefakt tracks in her sets for over a year, they played together for the first time at Creamfields last Summer and an EP naturally developed from there. 

With transcendent late night moments at the forefront of their mind, Matrefakt just get how to make dance records work. If you’re new to them, then ‘Dimension’ is as good a calling card as you’re going to get.

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.

Shir Khan started Exploited in 2007.

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.
