Speaking Minds return to Aeon with their first EP on the label, after a remarkable appearance as remixers on Dodi Palese’s ‘Black Drop Effects’.

This release starts off with ‘JSB’, a captivating and hypnotic affair enhanced by perfectly crafted delayed synths creeping out of the background. The constant darkness in harmonies and pads takes the listener through a brilliantly thought out progression and leaves them wanting for more after this 9-minute trip ends.

‘Yaoundé’ continues on this melancholic vibe, while bringing forward a more cinematic and even more chilling side from the Italian producers’ music. The main ambient lead develops beautifully, alongside many synth harmonies, and offers a contrast with a pushing drum section. This track is reduced to its essence, with crisp shakers and hi-hats bringing a drive to the intense atmosphere created by numerous harmonic layers.

Closing off this EP, ‘Paradise’ features a drunken melody evolving all through the track; a hook that is celverly completed by a pad halfway through. The arrangement, natural and flowing, makes every element of this trip shine, from the discrete chords in the background to the main synth line.

Speaking Minds have truly spoken with their heart here. This is a collection of masterfully crafted tracks full of melancholy and passion. Prepare to be taken aboard this cinematic trip...

Bhekithemba Buthelezi - Puppets & Masters

"NSFW No Shadow Feels Warm" est un track deep house sensuel et élégant, teinté de bossa nova jazzy, qui parle de l’après "vrai amour". Une voix minimaliste, presque mantra, affirme un refus des ersatz émotionnels, préférant la solitude à la copie. Un morceau crépusculaire ou nocturne, fidèle à une seule idée : ce qui a été vrai ne se remplace pas.

Si vous aimez ma musique, le meilleur moyen de m'aider c'est de vous abonner, liker, diffuser, référencer, mais surtout de kiffer !

LAD027 DJ Tennis - Divisions / Chirality 

“You know it's true, don't you?" You know it's true, sometimes emotions can be darn unsettling and disturbing – as they flow deep down our consciousness uncovering fears, thoughts and feelings. Yes, if we're focused too much on our personal hedonistic euphorias, sometimes we lose that... It gets lost; You know it's true. You may know it's true.

Manfredi Romano aka Dj Tennis shapes this treasure, a release that is decisively out of the box; a small cathedral made of subtle shades and unusual EQ's, where ideas seduce and frighten.

That's “Divisions”, led by Danish singer and guitarist Jeppe Kjellberg. Who's words and voice are carefully crafted as a precious, poisoning weapon of concern and bewilderment; as it is “Chirality” a deep, insistent, gelid voyage. Which distinctively in this round, We find ourselves not only with Tennis' masterful production skills but also the astounding addition of Sophie Trudeau's string work – she's been the driving force behind the string sections of legendary Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You Black Emperor, one of the most dark, cinematic and unsettling rock acts of the last decades – which really ads a poignant and visionary mood and emotions we rarely encounter and by that we can rarely breathe.

The original edits have been respectfully and creatively revisited by techno pioneer Roman Flügel, who masterfully rubs “Divisions”; turning it into a sensual, devious, laid down affaire. Lastly, closing the ride , the legendary English duo Plaid - true masters and innovators within the Intelligent Dance Music field- grace “Chirality” with their very own touch made of alien sounds, mutant rhythm architectures, warm dynamics and heartbreaking melodic caresses that iconically represents their visions.

Er wollte so viel wie möglich selber machen, meint @talul, wenn man ihn auf seine Remixarbeiten zum Track „Blondes“ anspricht. „Deshalb habe ich nur eine Spur aus dem Original genommen, und es sehr stark verändert“, erklärt der Dresdner Produzent. Das Original produzierte @leonardbywa und wird nun mit zwei Remixen am 25. März 2016 via @incroyable-music erscheinen. „Angefangen habe ich damit auf dem Weg zu meinen Gigs – im Zug und am Flughafen – und fertiggestellt in meinem Studio zu Hause." (...)

One of the most monstrous tracks we've heard in some time comes from @RuedeHagelstein, unleashing this beast of a track on @WatergateRecords' 'Watergate Affairs 02' various artists EP. Packed full of old skool early trance flavour, it's melodic atmospheric techno at its very best that rises to an immense, dramatic crescendo with a truly rousing historical speech. Like Public Service Broadcasting on an E.

Stereocalypse - Arboria EP

Release info

Premiere: Stereocalypse - Arboria (Get Physical)

Exploited’s semi-regular “mini compilation” series continues, with Shir Khan collecting together a highly eclectic quintet of new cuts from the label featuring Nathan Ball & SevenDoors, Radiophobia, Kraak & Smaak, Athlete Whippet and Aklay. 

1. Nathan Ball - Right Place (SevenDoors Rework)

Premiered by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08tb8p8
https://soundcloud.com/exploited/bbc-pete-tong-premiere-nathan-ball-right-place-sevendoors-rework-exploited

SevenDoors is a producer and DJ from the deep within the depths of the ocean from the abyss where music consist of tonal strings. He calls his style ‘Sound of the Whales’. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes punchy, emotional or seductive. 'Right Place' is a track which was originally written by Nathan Ball and now has been transported to the dancefloor by SevenDoors. The track was premiered in his BBC Afterhours Mix for Pete Tong and finally sees the day of the light. 

2. Radiophobia - If You Ever Change Your Mind

Defined by their unique, experimental sound rather than an excessive fear of radiation, the affliction for which they are named, Radiophobia released their debut release ’Can’t Stop Believing’ on Exploited in late 2015. Inspired by a variety of genres, from minimalist techno to retro acoustic and 70s inspired vocals, the secret project’s offering ’If You Ever Changed Your Mind' is a catchy, melancholic, psychedelic dance tune. 

3. Kraak & Smaak - Hendo

Premiered by Jason Bentley at KCRW, LA in morning show 'Morning Becomes Eclectic":
https://www.kcrw.com/@@playlists?host=&channel=Simulcast&date=2017/06/20

The Hendo track came about after a long period of working on last year’s Juicy Fruit album material. As is often the case, creative juices flow slowly for a while, but then, all of a sudden, there is that spark again. With the upcoming Ibiza season in mind this track rolled out quite quickly, an autonomous club tune that will be available just in time for Summer dj sets all over the globe. What does it sound like? Think the quirky Scandinavian disco sound meets Kraak & Smaak. A staple track for everyone's record bag this Summer.

4. Athlete Whippet - 3am

Featured in RA new tracks section:
https://www.residentadvisor.net/tracks/861962

Athlete Whippet is disks & dance duo formed of Squareglass co-founders Aviram Barath and Robin Paul Braum. Since their debut in September 2016 the Peckhamer’s hazy sun-kissed House found love by DJs worldwide including Scuba, Bicep, Laurent Garnier, Rob da Bank and Tom Ravenscroft as well as support by BBC1 & 6 and XLR8R, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Delicieuse Musique and Thump. With a good hand for remixes, the duos releases have come with reworks including Dekmantel’s Awanto 3, Lobster Theremin’s Ross From Friends, Brownswood’s Simbad and Horse Meat Disco founder Severino. A quick start to 2017 has already seen the Whippets release two singles and curate one of the main stages for Peckham Rye Music Festival which they will be sharing with Teki Latex and Ian Pooley.

5. Aklay - Return Order 

There is not much known about Aklay - besides he is living in Berlin studying music production and doing some part time work at a label management company. Originally from the land of Nottingham in the UK. Star Wars and Man United fan. 1 half of the record label CIRCA Records (currently under refurbishment).

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)
