Across previous releases on Diynamic, TAU, Engrave, Monaberry and Renaissance, AIKON has developed a catalogue of striking and cinematic dance floor music that caters for the gamut of dance floor moods.

Here he steps up with a clinic in club tension. Sustained pads, stacking melodies and a neat, circling bass line work together to weave a knot of energy that is then loosened and tightened as the track unfurls.

A snappy break cuts in unexpectedly alongside luminous stabs that burst in a manner that forecasts a shift in gears before the mood is dialled back down leaving the listener receptive and expectant; the perfect state for a fizzy late warm up floor.

AIKON - Tk Tk (Exploited Club)

Bonnie Spacey's sound is one characterised by unique contrasts and combinations with a root interest in organic instrumentation and a keen interest in the deeper shades of Disco, Techno and Electroclash being melded effectively in her productions and DJ sets.

Now - the french born and Berlin based maven encapsulates her knack for cogent contrasts across a heated 2-track EP for Exploited Club that weaves between Samba, Disco, Italo and House.

'Samba Disco' stamps a dominant foot on the floor as ripe, sturdy drums provide a stout foundation for pitch shifting delays and a searing hot synth climb. The vibe is arresting and highly spiced as the track continues to charter ever-elevating altitude in a manner that makes it easy to picture decadent dancefloor chaos.

'Light Shadow' follows up with a no-nonsense House groove that glows lucent with richly layered keys and an effortlessly sexy vocal. As is the case with the track's counterpart, the sounds are thick and palpable and the mood is intoxicating.

Chords burst with colour while pitch bending soars and energy courses towards a head-twisting breakdown that sends out more voltage to the floor and marks the closing chapter of an electrifying record that bears a distinctly Bonnie Spacey sheen.

Premiere: Panthera - Fallen [Polaris]

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!

They belong to one of our favourite DJs in Berlin. Only by accident they became a duo. Berlin’s infamous underground spot Golden Gate offered both DJs two solo slots. 
Heiko and Martin were fighting each other over who should be allowed to close the party. 
They ended up playing back to back for 8 hours and since then call themselves: ’Kotellet & Zadak’
- or as they describe themselves in one of their highly entertaining online mixes:
’Hallo. Mir san Kotelett & Zadak. Des is der Sound from Outter Space.’
Besides their legendary late night appearances in Berlin’s hot night spots they also run their own underwear fashion brand - and sometimes they fire out dancefloor bombs like ’Crave Dave’, ’Sons Of Attica’ or ’Panotica’. Welcome back Heiko&Martin! 

Early Feedback:
Hot Since 82: Very nice.
Hudson Mohawke: X
Maxxi Soundsystem: On this!

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)
