Tommy Bones ‘In The Night’ EP
1. In The Night Feat. Lydia Rhodes
2. Acid Rain

KWR023
Release Date: 23rd August

Making moves on Cassy’s club-steady record label is New York-based DJ and producer Tommy Bones, with him bringing in renowned US vocalist and regular collaborator Lydia Rhodes who’s known for a string of seminal club anthems through the ‘90s and early ‘00s.

Born and raised in Connecticut, Tommy Bones’ fixation on house music and dancing
would pull him to the heady lights of New York in the early ‘90s. Rubbing shoulders
with living legends Lil’ Louie Vega, Kenny Dope and David Morales, and hitting
hallowed institutions Limelight, Sound Factory and Tunnel, he’d thrive in his environment. DJing led to producing in the 2000s, with his tracks landing on coveted labels Nervous Records, Dopewax, Strictly Rhythm, Defected and King Street. After over 20 years in the industry his passion continues to burn brightly, whether that be
through his productions, behind the DJ booth or via his now renowned weekly DJ broadcasts, 4-4 Sessions.

“I’ve had a go-to stash of Tommy’s tracks in my collection for years. His productions are vitalising, packed with energy and they absolutely lift a crowd. I actually met him at ADE last year while I was playing one of his tracks and hadn’t realised he was in
the booth behind me. Fantastic to finally have a moment with him face-to-face and
thank him for his music. I’ve road-tested his EP for Kwench and it is fire.” – Cassy

His two-track dispatch kicks off with engrossing title track featuring Lydia Rhodes, and we cut straight to the heat, with Bones’ blistering bassline and Rhodes laying it on thick with feverish vocals. ‘Acid Rain’ steams in second, relentless and uplifting,
with all horns blazing.

In The Night EP

Tommy Bones Feat. Lydia Rhodes - 'In The Night'

'Dutch duo T.U.R.F. bring the heat to Exploited again after contributing the super-hot 'Sneaky Ways' last year. Their knack for a tasty groove is very much intact, with two surefire disco house slammers on this release.

'Good Times Roll' builds a foundation of chunky beats around some sweet jazz-funk vibes, with dashes of sax and clavinet interpersing the piledriver bassline. Jaunty pianos loop tensely and quickfire white noise builds and cymbal echoes keep things energetic. When it comes to high energy, organically-textured house music, these guys really know what they're doing. 

'Street Talkin' is a deep and jacking groove built around small disco loops that filter in and out of the foreground, with super-skippy beats cutting against the deep textures of the melodic elements. Looped vocals and infectious fills and to the grooves bumping feel, and a soulful breakdown blasts into an extra-funked-up section full of incessant horn and electric piano flavour. 

With other contributions on Tensnake's True Romance label and Till Von Sein's Tilly Jam, T.U.R.F. are rapidly carving out a name for themselves as ones to watch. Don't sleep on these bombs...'

First feedbacks coming in from Josh Wink, Basement Jaxx, Laurent Garnier, Erol Alkan, Danny Howard/BBC Radio 1, Tensnake, Kasper Bjorke, Alinka, Luca Bacchetti, Severino/Horse Meat Disco, Peter Kruder, Jacques Renault...

Phonk D lands on Exploited with a takeover of their Black Jukebox series. Serving up 4 killer dancefloor cuts, he’s got the weapons you need for the months ahead. 
The supremely funky ‘Work Dance’ makes great use of dramatic horn blasts as off-beat bass pumps and stomps all over the place. Twanging guitars licks accentuate the groove further. Chunky drum fills punctuate the rhythms and tumbling congas keep things rolling as vocal cuts command you to ‘dance!’ 
Head directly to ‘Facelift’ for some glorious strings, cascading romantically over snappy ‘90s house vibe beats. Undulating bass perfectly complements these cute motifs, making for a track that falls somewhere between ‘sorrowful’ and ‘triumphant’ on the mood board. Throw in some glistening harp scales and you’ve got yourself a winner. 
‘Never Walked Away’ is a tense stomper that focuses around a filtering soul vocal loop with some sustained strings cooked into it. The shuffling beats and relentless bass are supporting by detuned piano chords, increasing the hypnotically looping feel. 
‘Get Ready’ teases with more warped piano before unleashing a loose funk b-line and dubby vocal snippets. Sweet guitar licks weave around the slinky bassline, this understated track making a deep and balmy finale for this great EP.

We add yet another talented artist to our esteemed roster and I couldn't be more pleased. Based in Nova Scotia, Veev will be a familiar name to many with past releases on labels such as Guesthouse, Simma Black and legendary label Nervous. We have communicated off and on for years and developed a mutual respect. It was this round of demos, however, that turned our friendship into a working relationship. What is there to not like about all three of these tremendous tracks? They are funky, textured, soulful and full of authenticity. Welcome to Large Music, Veev.

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)
