Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2024!
'Sex!' by duo Modular Project rolls out a neat and classy groove as the sturdy bones of a Disco beat thump under a snake-hip bass, serrated acid line and bold, unfiltered piano chords.
Bearing flecks of Krautrock, Indie, Electronica and Funk, Made In TLV's 'Super Cool' is an anthem that traverses vast sonic territory.
Diar Storm, Lost Boy 1984, Play Paul present a modern form of Dark Wave Electro that is, equal parts stroppy and sexy. 'Everything So' emits cathartic steam as vibrant synths burst with bittersweet chords and jagged staccato tones.
'Tainted In The Sun' by Niv Ast kicks off with a Manchester chorus beaming out over stroppy power chords.
Gary Numan’s cross-continental hit 'Cars' from 1979 has been covered, sampled and reworked from vastly different pockets of the industry. Now - Laroz presents a rejuvenation of ’Cars’.
'Infinity' by Budakid is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish.
'Falling For You' by Komilev dials in that Panorama vibe packed with effervescent drama, soul and sass.
'Rompe Disco’ by Alex Medina bumps like House and glistens like an Italo whilst also exuding the moxie of Reggaeton.
'Foreign Affairs' by Micropacer follows with more early 80s flair.
Pole Position of Brunch In The Park Barcelona fame channel their complementary energies into 'Diamonds'; a recording inspired by Electro House that deftly straddles 80s New Wave, Prog and Indie.
Moodymanc's 'Joy' twists Philadelphia soul sounds into a peak time house monster. Now re-edited for modern times in a special Breakbeat version.
São Paulo based Renato Cohen fires up his arsenal of analogue gear and adds a bright and burly Italo cut with ’Lemon Key’.
Zeynep Erbay’s ’Neon Palm’ sits comfortably alongside modern Indie Dance, Italo Disco and House alike.
Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén’s ’Feeling Mumbled’ Remix is an ultimately playable DJ tool; one that renders an after hours sunrise as chords bounce of the tracks surface like rays of light while tight, nifty shuffles interlock with a bouncing bass line.
Austin Ato fleshes out some deliciously hallucinogenic Italo synths in his Remix version of ’Super Cool’ by Made In TLV.
’Acid Infatuation’ by Levantine is a sound that occupies a sweet spot between Eurodance and Italo.
Black Hawks of Panama steps in with ’Wrapped’.The ingredients are simple: a slapping disco kit, Alpha Juno, zesty guitar licks and an anthemic vocal. The result is a contagious Italo march that burrows deep under the skin; put simply - a slice of pure rapture.
'Good Times' by Renato Cohen sparks things up with bright, muscular drums that pave the way for a rasping bass line - a killer DJ tool. Raw energy is spat out while snares clash and vocals march along with an intensity that doesn't let up.
Captain Mustache’s ’Diavola’ flexes low-mid tones warble in lock step with strapping drums and an earworm synth line.
’Heart Life' by NEAT adds a further facet to the compilation with an allaying Italo-tinged groove.
In ’Neonim’ by Laroz, a gently jagged bass line bubbles away, creating a buoyant bed for expertly crafted drums which pop out with expressive alacrity. Dulcet piano tones form a bond with amber-tinged synths as warming soundscape is developed.
James Curd throws a dart straight to the dance floor with the jazz-tinged House jam ’Feeling Mumbled’ built from a classy palette of samples.
Sandhog closes the album with the highly memorable recording 'Berlin' that speaks to the power of simplicity.

Upercent - Where Are You

Life could surprise you and bring sudden changes. By keeping the core values of Complaint Kulture, a chapter ended, and another began late 2024. MULYA will be missed forever but his legacy remains with us and the dancers of our universe.

In the past year, we have focused on different things; our papi was polishing his sound and putting the stakes higher and higher, and I was closer to the label process, promoting events, and giving the best we can for in-house artists. Luckily there's one song we could finish together and I've felt it is the right time to drop and share with all of you.

The concept of Time Out Culto was to blend afroish and indiesh elements, our fav samples and tools into a long journey by deconstructing the layers and building it up step by step. It's a perfect one to open a set or give a little breath to the floor, I hope you'll like it.

Love

„Opossum EP“ is the new work of Cologne based artist @motipwhite who meets Cologne based label Feines Tier. 
3 tracks for an abandoned dirty open air zoo that turns into a rave for those who stayed hungry for the eclectic.

„Let The Light In“ goes out first, hooting the sirens of outdoor-grooves with shakers and wild percussion. Calling the sun already for the upcoming months, you can hear the handwriting of Barcelona based producer „Gespona“ who teamed up again with Moe and is known for his deep rythmic grooves of „Rummel Audio“.

„El Puma“ is roughly gnarling onto the dancefloor. Its shouting right into the listeners face, who later finds the wild elements embedded in a surrounding of psychedelic melodies.
„Opossum“ is rattling like an old 2-stroke-machine into the dancefloor until the listener gets weak in the knees. 
The tracks arrive unassuming and develop into uncontrolled organic machines from another retro-future. 
All made with love and all made for the dancefloor.

„RAINMAKER“ ist ein düsterer, glitch-inspirierter Minimal Deep House Track, der mit einer verzerrten weiblichen Stimme und einer hypnotischen Atmosphäre aufwartet. Sanfte Gewitter- und Regenklänge verschmelzen mit tiefen Bässen und minimalistischem Beat zu einem immersiven Sounderlebnis. Perfekt für nächtliche Clubsessions oder stille Momente im Regen – ein Soundtrack für die digitalen Stürme in deinem Kopf.

Falls du dich fragst: Ja, das ist mehr als nur ein Track. Das ist dein persönlicher Regenmacher.

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)
