Excellent! Piano riff sounds familiar from an oldskool house track but I can't put my finger on it...

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.

Shadow Child lands his sparkling new single Friday featuring the stunning vocals of the fast rising Takura.

UK producer and DJ, Shadow Child has had a momentous 16 months, from releasing his 23 EP on own nascent Food Music imprint, the mighty So High via Moda Black to the landmark String Thing via Dirtybird.

Singer / songwriter Takura is no stranger to UK ears having collaborated with massive names such as Chase & Status, Rhianna, Plan B, Sub Focus, Example, Jack Beats and Kano. On Friday Takura delivers a huge feel-good, crossover chorus hook that complements Shadow Child’s on point, driving, deep house beats perfectly.

With Shadow Child’s and label-partner Kry Wolf, their Food Music label has grown organically as a route to release for own material and like-minded production souls. This year has so far seen critically acclaimed releases from artists Kry Wolf, Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo, Makes No Sense to the soon coming Motez, with a stack of exciting new artists & tracks lined up for the next 12 months.

Sincopat is proud to welcome Ary Sya to the family with a release that masterfully blends multiple influences and styles. This colourful EP fuses melodic house with a radiant summer vibe and dancefloor energy, creating a sonic journey steeped in Japanese inspiration.

Two of the tracks, Nikita and Akari, pay homage to this cultural influence through their names. The journey begins with Nikita, a very personal track for the artist. The track resonated deeply with Ary Sya's mother, Nicole, who, upon hearing it for the first time, simply said, ‘I love it’. That heartfelt moment led to the decision to name it Nikita, as a subtle tribute to her. Akari, fully embraces the Japanese theme as well, with a bright and summery feel. Akari means light in Japanese.

To close the release, Melon draws inspiration from a fruit considered precious and refined in Japanese culture.The artist translates this essence into music, creating a delicate yet impactful track, a perfect balance of elegance and intensity.
With this release, Ary Sya brings a fresh and unique perspective to Sincopat, offering an immersive musical experience that is as soulful as it is danceable.

Spring has arrived with added fervour here at Darkroom Dubs HQ, as Parisien maestro Prinze delivers four jubilant tracks heralding his much-anticipated label debut. His 'We Are Free' EP is a bold clarion call to the dancefloor that gives a mischievous nod to early '90s UK progressive house and the halcyon days of acid and rave culture while fully embracing a defined and distinctively psychedelic sonic vision of the future.

2025 will undoubtedly continue to be an eventful year for Prinze as he duly prepares a fistful of cosmic missives for his own Epicure Records and remix collaborations with Rotten City head honcho Alvaro Cabana and Silicone Soul. The latter is an acid dub of REMAIN & DaWad's 'Comatose' and is due to drop on Bogotá's Kaputt.wav label in early May. Much love x

Molsy - Faces (Nedisco Remix)

Sincopat is excited to present a fearless return from Cabizbajo, solidifying his position at the forefront of Mexico’s electronic music scene.

The release opens with “White Eyes,” where Cabizbajo crafts a hauntingly hypnotic groove that pulses with energy and ethereal tension. This track exemplifies minimalist design, with each sound carefully chosen to draw the listener into a moody and immersive experience.
Next, Waltervelt offers a reinterpretation of “White Eyes,” taking the original and transforming it into a spacious, dub-influenced groove. This version unfolds with deep atmospheric pressure and elegant restraint.

The journey continues with “Hive Mind,” a cerebral, percussive exploration of collective consciousness through rhythm and texture. This track is raw, precise, and irresistibly physical— ideal for the darker hours on the dance floor.

Club Kids closes the release with an ode to rave-era rebellion: punchy, stabs in a track that oozes charisma and club nostalgia while staying undeniably forward-thinking.

Enjoy!

Jannowitz Records once again pushes boundaries with its latest Indie Dance release, a collaborative gem from MMYYLO, SNYL, and David LeSal. This tracks are a hypnotic blend of dark groove, retro flair, and emotional depth—seamlessly fusing analog synth textures with crisp modern production. From the very first beat, the guys builds a cinematic atmosphere, driven by pulsating basslines and airy pads that nod to the golden age of synthpop, while still feeling fresh and club-ready. MMYYLO’s signature melodic tension pairs beautifully with SNYL’s rhythmic sensibility, and David LeSal rounds it out with subtle but powerful sound design that keeps the energy evolving throughout the track. There’s a sense of storytelling in this release—it’s not just danceable, it’s immersive. Perfect for late-night sets, festival sunsets, or introspective solo listening, this release adds another strong chapter to Jannowitz’s ever-growing catalog of genre-defying dance music. Verdict: A beautifully constructed journey through the darker shades of Indie Dance—emotionally charged, rhythmically tight, and endlessly playable.

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)
