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.

After a cameo appearance on the Spektrum compilation, DC Salas lands on TAU with his first full EP. The Belgian producer has been active for more than a decade and brings with him depth of experience and maturity, along with a clear understanding of the dance floor. His Time Well Spent EP showcases these core skills, along with his distinct flair and emotive nuance...

Kicking off with ‘Nothing Is Ever Lost’, a rolling cut with punchy drums and a mean bassline. Salas pumps the track full of energy, taking us to a glittering breakdown which heralds a lively second half. An invigorating riff is the centrepiece, adding an uplifting atmosphere which is sure to send waves of good energy pulsating through the dance floor.

This is followed by ‘Distant Future’, a track punctuated by its distinct percussion. The dense low end is complemented by the mysterious aura of a delicate melody which appears intermittently. The beats work in perfect harmony with the bass, creating a solid foundation for the arrival of an acid-flecked riff. In the second half, Salas switches things up slightly, rearranging the bassline and adding sweeping synth lines.

Next up is the title track, ‘Time Well Spent’, a cut that is buzzing with driving energy from the start. The juddering b-line stimulates your cerebral cortex and encourages expressive dance moves, along with beautifully composed melodies that intertwine and add a feeling of optimism. Every step of the way DC Salas keeps the track shifting and progressing, avoiding stagnation and keeping the listener fully captivated.

Lastly, we have Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara with a remix of ‘Time Well Spent’. Massimiliano’s rework strips things back a little, allowing the rhythm track to take prominence. It’s lighter, but still packs a punch. He maintains a constant level of energy throughout, with various squelchy analogue riffs and breathtaking use of pads and melody to whisk the listener away to another dimension of existence.

TAU032 | DC Salas - Time Well Spent (Massimiliano Pagliara Remix)

Once again, Anis Hachemi and Alex Kaspersky have done a truly titanic job for days on end recording a new studio album Atura. This time the guys created a technological singularity from indie dance, tech house, and techno.

The album starts with the track Atura, which is dominated by an assertive techno-rhythm with unsurpassed robotic vocals, and Drumcode lives up to its name with powerful percussion with cosmic motifs. Everything Gonna Be Alright features a calm bass drum and measured vocals. Kemik with its broken rhythm is replaced by Ride's groove motifs. The synth line and flanger take us to the dance floor along with the track Midnight disco where Yoruba closes the curtain on the classic and calm house.
This album draws you in like a black hole without letting go until the last track - a magnificent work from the unsurpassed collaboration of Anis Hachemi and Alex Kaspersky.

Dominik Marz and brothers Radial Gaze team up for this four-track outing on TAU. Both acts have been steadily building their reputations on the underground, maintaining a high level of consistency and captivating dance floors across the planet. The trio have already worked together, dropping ‘Trans’ on Mexican label Duro in 2021. Now they’re back with a full EP, demonstrating the full force of their alliance.

The EP starts with ‘Baren’, where we find a low end percolating alongside crispy beats, with an array of percussive additions to increase the momentum. The bass pumps and vocal clips dip in and out of the background as the trio add more layers. It’s a heady combination of well pro- grammed beats with synth and bassline arrangement.

Then we have ‘Asper’, a dense punchy cut with a simple, hypnotic melody. This cut really benefits from its simplicity, an unfussy foundation which supports a colourful main riff.

Next is ‘Mistral’, a percussion-heavy composition that features an earworm melody, trundling drums, and a warped vocal. This one is a proper dance floor stomper.

Lastly, ‘E-Functions’ is a driving cut with a mysterious aura. The trio keep this one engaging throughout with plenty of progression around the core motifs. It’s ominous yet bouncy and playful, striking the balance perfectly and closing out the EP in style.

PREMIERE – Jepe – Igai (DUAT FOLKLORE)

PREMIERE: Gallo - August

"C'est Ma Vie" is the debut release from Cartagena, Colombia-originated and Toronto, Canada-based Musa Paradise. This is the first single off of the upcoming album for the band, and is a genre-blurring fusion of Afro-Latin soul, deep house, and nostalgic electronic textures.

Built on a foundation of vintage drum machines, 909 hi-hat patterns, and house-inspired grooves, “C’est Ma Vie” pulses with an understated, late-night energy. Layers of analog synths, hypnotic guitars, and live Afro-Cuban percussion bring a raw, organic dimension to the production, while subtle Afro-Colombian elements — including the maracón and tamboras of the chalupa rhythm — enrich the beat with ancestral depth. French vocals float above the arrangement, adding a poetic, intimate presence. Both lush and shadowy, "C’est Ma Vie" evokes a tropical melancholy — a reflective dance between the past and present, memory and movement.

Musa Paradise was formed in 2018 by longtime friends and musical collaborators, Jimmy Kiddo and Cesar Caballero. Inspired by Cartagena’s tropical vibe, Jimmy and Cesar experimented with an array of afro-Colombian and afro-Caribbean sounds. With fusions of Latin, rock, pop and electronic influences; all of these explorations have helped define their personal identities and have become the bedrock for Musa Paradise’s musical and cultural direction.

“C’est Ma Vie” is released August 22nd, 2025 on @Permaculturerecordings.

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)
