Moodymanc's 'Joy' release from 2 years ago caused carnage across the world's terrace parties. There was absolutely no promo on this release. It just went straight to the vinyl shops in limited numbers. We finally decided to give 'Joy' (originally released on 2020 Vision) a digital re-release on Exploited: Summer house sounds from Moodymanc with Ralph Lawson on the remix. 'Joy' twists Philadelphia soul sounds into a peaktime house monster. With a nice piano line and strong bassline the track reaches a climax with tastefully edited samples converging to create something new and exciting. On the flip we get the Ralph Lawson dub which takes things into a much more driving, techier direction with echoed effects flying around the mix and some deep voodoo energy from within. With resonating piano stabs rattling away at the forefront of the track we instantly get sucked into its hypnotic groove.

BassBubbles, aka Marianella, is an LA-based house music DJ. Bridging the gap between the vibrant energy of NYC where she originates and LA’s iconic sunsets, she infuses her music with elements that speak to both. Her sets are more than just a collection of tracks; they are a narrative journey, consisting of inviting tech house, groovy latin house, pulsating hard dance, and a sprinkle of nostalgic house remixes of her favorite emo and hip hop anthems growing up.

No matter the venue - clubs, out in nature, at a festival, or at an after party - community and her connection to her audience set her apart. Through her vocal-heavy selections, she crafts a backdrop that encourages the crowd to forge new connections, embrace their whimsical side, and most importantly - dance!

Most notably, she has performed at Friendship, Off The Grid, and Cinco de Meow festivals, as well as throughout LA, Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and NYC. BassBubbles is also a co-founder of The Glitter Cats music and arts collective, curates parties and festivals in LA, and DJ’s with her better half under the alias 2LEMZ.

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)
