Niv Ast is an artist who very much operates 'out of the box'. His work on Correspondant, Optimo, Disco Halal, Watergate Records and Get Physical - as well as his work via his own label Band Apart - is bold, line-blurring club gear making him a perfect candidate for an Exploited Club release.

Niv Ast is inspired by the psychedelic waves of acid, the attitude of the punk-rock and the light headed groove of disco. His music is regularly played by DJ Tennis, Jennifer Cardini, Polo & Pan among others. He has performed alongside Tale Of Us, Seth Troxler, Amelie Lens, Blond:ish and many more.

'Tainted In The Sun' kicks things off with a Manchester chorus beaming out over stroppy power chords and a throbbing kick. Progress marches on, gathering colour as it blooms into a synth-driven haze adorned with brass flashes, spiralling sequences and a straight-talking snare. The vibe is heady, infectious and a touch subversive - a slice of euphoric recall for anyone who barely remembers the 90s. 

'Don’t Belong' follows up with an Indie-Italo hybrid. Tough, muscular drums anchor the groove while a flexible synth line gently pulls things astray. Clever sequencing has the track swelling in layers as a brooding intensity builds up towards a bridge of darting strobes. The refrain drives back in, hooking the listener back in and capping off a boisterous pastiche; one that strums a certain nostalgic chord whilst also presenting something fresh and novel.'

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.

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!

INCOMING : Dina Summer - Promise Me feat. Curses (Boys' Shorts Remix) #IptamenosDiscos
Release date : 28/05/2025
BUY :  https://bfan.link/promise-me-boys-shorts

After the wild success of Dina Summer’s first bouquet of remixes from their latest album Girls Gang, they return with fresh cuttings.

First up are Boys’ Shorts—the Greek DJ/producer duo comprised of Vangelis (formerly of LAGASTA) and electronic artist Tareq. The pair have toured Europe and the US, performing at some of the most renowned club venues such as Berghain and E1. Their hyped, dance-ready sets blend elements of disco, slow techno, and acid house into a unique and distinct sound.

They take Promise Me and rip it from its roots as an early goth, coldwave track steeped in archaic gothic romance, then prune and propagate it into a futuristic house track—replanting it in a digital dimension. Boys’ Shorts use the chorus as the core element, and as Curses’ luxurious, decadent vocals unfurl, they spruce it up into a dance edit with shimmering snares, a bouncier bassline, and 4/4 drum patterns reminiscent of the Roland 808.

Released on Iptamenos Discos as part of the Gils Gang Deluxe version.

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)
