Sandhog’s star continues to ascend with these two deep new rockets from the Swiss producer. The bouncing, twanging bass pulse of ‘Accent’ is soon built upon by dramatic ‘80s synth-pop blasts and a plucked riff that hammers away while drenched in a spacious reverb. Soon the full glorious melody unfurls, bassline and riff chromatically descending in unison. Subtle automation gives these spine-tingling riffs more power still, and a distorted, bleeping lead cuts through the soundscape dramatically while a spoken vocal adds more colour. A dark texture blasts in the breakdown, its buzzing, detuned vibe coming across like a ship tooting its way into harbour. Brilliantly produced, this track was made for big rooms.
‘Nechama’ rewards the patient listener, with its wiggling bassline and gently swaying percussive rhythms cut through with filtered, distant synth swells that tease out the chord progression. A bluesy harmonica lick appears out of nowhere, providing organic counterweight to the synthetic tension as the percussion builds. Next, a throat singer intones a mystical vibe with a droning modulation, like a human didgeridoo. Monotone yet constantly evolving, it’s a fascinating contrast to the delightful, playful synth hook that rises from the depths and could easily be from a classic Depeche Mode or The Cure record.

Sandhog - Nechama | Exploited Club

Swiss producer Sandhog has recently released two deep and captivating tracks that showcase his rising star in the electronic music scene. Both tracks are signed to Berlin-based record label, Exploited, which has become well-known for its roster of talented artists who specialize in house and techno music.

The first track, "Accent," features a bouncing, twanging bass pulse that is soon accompanied by dramatic '80s synth-pop blasts and a plucked riff that hammers away while drenched in a spacious reverb. The full melody then unfurls, with the bassline and riff chromatically descending in unison. The spine-tingling riffs are further enhanced by subtle automation, while a distorted, bleeping lead cuts through the soundscape dramatically, and a spoken vocal adds more color. The breakdown features a dark texture with a buzzing, detuned vibe that creates a ship-tooting-its-way-into-harbor effect. The track is brilliantly produced, making it a perfect fit for big rooms.

The second track, "Nechama," rewards patient listeners with its wiggling bassline and gently swaying percussive rhythms cut through with filtered, distant synth swells that tease out the chord progression. A bluesy harmonica lick appears out of nowhere, providing an organic counterweight to the synthetic tension as the percussion builds. Then, a throat singer enters with a mystical vibe, creating a droning modulation that resembles a human didgeridoo. Despite being monotone, the sound evolves constantly, making it a fascinating contrast to the delightful, playful synth hook that rises from the depths and could easily be from a classic Depeche Mode or The Cure record.

Exploited records have been instrumental in shaping the sound of modern electronic music, with their roster of artists including Adana Twins, Claptone, and Doctor Dru. With Sandhog's recent release, the label's reputation for quality and innovation is sure to continue to soar.

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)
