Meet O.N.O: the new Parisian electronic duo.
Comprised of French comedian and DJ, Nathalie Duchene, and her friend Rudy Kobain, O.N.O is a project formed through their connection on the Paris electronic scene. They decided to try their hand at collaborating, and ‘Modern Dance’ is the first fruits of their burgeoning relationship.
“ I produce a lot everyday but I hardly ever finish my tracks ” says Kobain. “ I sent Nathalie my favourite one and she had wonderful ideas on how to continue this one and finish it. ” They completed the track at his home, and once he showed her more of his works-in-progress, she had plenty more ideas on how to carry them to the finish line. “ The same magic happened: she knew what to add to make it a hit.” It was clear that a formidable partnership was being created.
‘Modern Dance’ is a funk-fuelled house/disco cut filled with bold sounds. Slinky, plump bass grooves against the taut drums while pitch-bending synths create a dramatic backdrop. A shimmering, plucked lead motif cuts through the mix with no warning to create a mystical and captivating melodic focal point. Recordings of gossiping ladies fill the breakdown, adding more drama still, and swooping strings provide the finishing touch. Fierce, funky and full of attitude, it’s a surefire hit. “ It’s a perfect track to show our world. We wanted to create a track you can dance, eat, drink and make love to. ”
French dance music royalty and personal friend of the duo, Yuksek, amps up the bass funk on his remix, slides in some gentle acid tones and generally pumps the whole thing up. There’s an almost old skool rave euphoria in the widescreen sounds of his pads and strings and some clever edits and FX provide moments of unexpected juxtaposition. “ Nathalie has known him for years and he was immediately super excited to remix the track. He totally brings the tracks to the dancefloor!”
‘Rockarz’ is a mighty ‘b-side’ that channels ‘80s electro pop to great effect, with chanted male vocals set against airy female harmonies and rubbery bass melody underneath. Glass chimes and resampled synths provide the additional colour, and all in all it’s a camp dancefloor workout.
With their tracks mixed by Super Discount’s Julien Delfaut, their glorious tracks are finished off in a punchy technicolour sheen. “ I have known him for a long time and he is one of the best mixers in Paris. Thanks to him we have a special sound that you can find all over our upcoming EPs.”

O.N.O - Modern Dance

Stream / https://tushenrai.lnk.to/EastBalearism

Written during a long lockdown when the sun was knocking at the window, East-Balearism, is a nostalgic electronic balade on the Island of Karimunjawa, at the east of Java in Indonesia. 
 
This first single of Tushen Raï is a daydream, a trip where the body, prevented and blocked in 20 square meters, still has the luck to team up alongside a mind free and explorer. A sweet hallucination where balearic's percussions meet voices of the Indian ocean and some psychedelic synthesizers, where all we want is to dance freely again, where reality is just a distant memory. 
 
The single is coming with two remixes, one signed by N.O.Y, a young talented producer from the Israely's nu-trance and cold-rave scene who deliver a super clubby version of the track pushed by a powerful bassline on a hi-NRG disco BPM.
 The second, signed by Cornelius Doctor, the partner in crime of Tushen Raï who produced two EPs with him in the past, comes with his clearly recognizable touch of downtempo grooves and dark melodies. Perfect to be played after a long night of dance, at sunrise, during a rave party in the rainforest

Tushen Raï - East-Balearism (N.O.Y Remix)

Liran Ackerman from Israel is the man behind the project AckerMan. Mainly inspired by electronic projects and bands from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, his original and identifiable style is full of badass basslines and psychedelic groove. Liran has already appeared on several labels such as HEARec, Duro, Belly Dance Services, and Latido – on the latter under his pseudonym Deadly Weapons in partnership with Eliezer.

In his second display on HEARec (he has already delivered a killer remix for Javier Martinez’ “Paranoia” [HEAR0044]), he brought to light an entire release of his own featuring three well-constructed originals with EBZ collaborating in two of them and two bright remixes made with love by Eliezer and Mufti.

Premiered here, the title track, “Keshet BeAnan”, means “rainbow” in Hebrew. Suitable, inasmuch as the EP is a colourful representation of AckerMan’s distinctive style. The track itself, despite being rather minimalistic, brings Liran and EBZ flirting with many different textures which, combined, enrich the theme and showcase the duo’s high-quality producing skills. The percussive elements, the fat bassline, and the obscure vocals deliver a trippy and insightful piece that establishes Liran as an “artist to watch” amid the rising Indie Dance/Dark Disco scene.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label:

Previously of other well-respected labels like Disco Halal and Sol Selectas, AIKON is a very promising new talent who now lands on Exploited Ghetto.
The sprightly plucked synth arpeggios of ‘Saturn’ sound as if he is imitating a middle Eastern string instrument, and the inclusion of sitar solo shimmering under the electronic elements works in perfect harmony. The rolling bassline interplays perfectly with the chunky kicks, and the combination of the elements generates a wonderful kind of dancefloor hypnosis. Meditative, magical music.
The talented Sandhog brings his atmospheric signature sound to a remix of ‘Saturn’. He feeds the sitar through a bitcrusher to great, hazy effect, contrasting with the crisp, clean sound of the plucked lead. Acidic gurgles hover subtly beneath, while various percussive hits help add accent to the groove.
‘Dishes’ walks a similarly moody and potent path. Moroder-esque stuttered bass walks its way through the pitter-patter of hi-hats, live snares and cowbells. More plucked string motifs create a dramatic tension, and the whole the drives along with a serious head of steam and an introspective feel.

Early Feedback:
Moscowman: Cool stuff.
M.A.N.D.Y. - Fun!
Eelke Klein: Love it!
Annie Mac: Cool.
Felix Da Housecat: Nice.

Sandhog returns for its second bite of the cherry with Exploited, following the well-received ‘Endless Dimension’ EP. Fresh with another two hot tracks that are full of ideas and colour, it’s another impressive outing.
Combining skanking reggae rhythm, electric guitars solos and a pulsating house groove might sound wrong on paper, but it works a treat on ‘Cabassa’. The off-beat skank creates a vibrant push-pull against the thick synth bassline as ticking percussion provides further energy. Filtered synth trumpets and disco guitar licks add colour, along with percussive fills and the occasional screech of the guitar. It’s house. It’s tropical. But no, it’s not tropical house . It’s something much more mystical and sophisticated than that. A real odyssey of a track, it’s filled with thoughtful little touches right to the end that ensure an constantly interesting listen.
‘Night Flight’ continues the tropical feel in a more stripped-back fashion. A nagging bass hook burrows its way through sparse beats, a groove slowly building through light synthetic textures and carefully placed percussive hits and fills. Sounds are buried deep in the mix: a violinist here, an accordion there. A hypnotic breakdown sets your head spinning as a bitcrushed synth zig-zags its way into your mind and the track ebbs and flows magically, constantly shape-shifting.

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 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)
