The hotly-tipped Bawrut provides a slow-building remix for Madrid based Depaart which builds and builds effortlessly from the start to an intense, synth-powered breakdown and a pleasingly heady drop. Unusual percussive rhythms trade blows with droning synths and snatches of heavenly melody from the original in this frenzied, ever-changing, ultimately euphoric assault on the senses.

Atlanta producer Sejva is a one-man electro powerhouse, lacing his tracks with bold analog synths, punchy drum machines and his own tripped-out vocals. His debut EP was released on Toro Y Moi main man Chaz Bear’s Company Records in 2016, and he recently released on acclaimed VOD label. He presents his sonic ID in bold fashion on this 2-track release for Exploited.

‘Enough Of You’ channels high-camp/drama ‘80s electro pop from the likes of Visage and Yazoo, with a jagged-edge, buzzing synth arpeggio at the core of the track. The distinctive, sultry male vocal provides the perfect foil for this aggressive bottom end, and a high-pitched synth line with just the right whiff of cheese tops the package off. Soaring strings lift the track further as the mechanical beats slam away and another cute synth arp bubbles away in the higher registers. And is that a sidechained motorbike engine we can hear towards the end? Why not....

‘By Your Side’ gets to work in no time with its guttural, droning bass pulses and unfurling synth blasts decking out a spartan, authentically electro drum pattern. The vocals are more heavily effected and contorted here, giving a more trippy feel as the brooding track slowly rises. A sprightly, shiny synth arpeggio ascends through the octaves while a nagging, vaguely Arabic sounding pulse adds a hazy, psyched-out element. A hugely dramatic, prolonged breakdown creates an epic, haunting mood, which is briskly segmented by the drop — where the bassline morphs and wiggles fantastically into a squealing, acidic direction.

Early Feedback:
Adana Twins: Fett!
Perel: Cool vibes!
Rampa: Thanks. Will check.
Biesmans: Will try.
Joyce Muniz: Sweet.

Italian duo gizA djs arrive on Exploited with two absolute barnstormers in their hands.

‘Jelly’ begins life in a beautifully Balearic fashion, with resplendent strings gliding over a languid beat, and haunting, melancholic melodies bringing the emotion. A stark bassline arrives, signalling a taste of what’s to come, and finally a 4/4 beat slams in to provide the energy, while gentle pads pulse dreamily. The track builds and builds to a powerful crescendo where the bassline morphs into an off-beat pulse, creating a classic ‘80s hi-NRG feel, and a soaring lead melody provides some camped-up euphoria. Feel-good music at its finest.

“I remember when Tiziano sent me the first part of the project with the harmonic part” says Gian. “I was dazzled by that strange synth reminiscent of a synthetic vocalization. From there I built the bassline and the track magically took shape in a short time. The track is a hymn to a carefree life...“

‘Euforia’ kicks along at a higher pace, with a bubbling bassline leading the charge from the first second. Just as colourful and charismatic in its melodies, riffs and choices of synth sounds, it packs a lot of energy into its four-minute lifespan. With a little nod to ‘80s video game music, its bold lines and vibrant feel make for another fist-pumping ride.

It can be pretty cold in February, depending on where you are on our tiny globe hurtling thru the galaxy. So the powers that be invented Valentines-day to warm people up a little bit. So to celebrate this event and help make your winter months just that bit warmer, I present my second single of 2022: 'Declaration of Dependence'!

Driven by a bassline that acts like a warm blanket, this melodic deep house track gently helps you flow into your zone using soft piano and synth tones. The drop features some trademark Qbical sequences to put a little more energy in the mix. All the while, whispering voices add just a touch of sensuality to make this club-time love song complete.

After a cameo appearance on the Spektrum compilation, DC Salas lands on TAU with his first full EP. The Belgian producer has been active for more than a decade and brings with him depth of experience and maturity, along with a clear understanding of the dance floor. His Time Well Spent EP showcases these core skills, along with his distinct flair and emotive nuance...

Kicking off with ‘Nothing Is Ever Lost’, a rolling cut with punchy drums and a mean bassline. Salas pumps the track full of energy, taking us to a glittering breakdown which heralds a lively second half. An invigorating riff is the centrepiece, adding an uplifting atmosphere which is sure to send waves of good energy pulsating through the dance floor.

This is followed by ‘Distant Future’, a track punctuated by its distinct percussion. The dense low end is complemented by the mysterious aura of a delicate melody which appears intermittently. The beats work in perfect harmony with the bass, creating a solid foundation for the arrival of an acid-flecked riff. In the second half, Salas switches things up slightly, rearranging the bassline and adding sweeping synth lines.

Next up is the title track, ‘Time Well Spent’, a cut that is buzzing with driving energy from the start. The juddering b-line stimulates your cerebral cortex and encourages expressive dance moves, along with beautifully composed melodies that intertwine and add a feeling of optimism. Every step of the way DC Salas keeps the track shifting and progressing, avoiding stagnation and keeping the listener fully captivated.

Lastly, we have Panorama Bar resident Massimiliano Pagliara with a remix of ‘Time Well Spent’. Massimiliano’s rework strips things back a little, allowing the rhythm track to take prominence. It’s lighter, but still packs a punch. He maintains a constant level of energy throughout, with various squelchy analogue riffs and breathtaking use of pads and melody to whisk the listener away to another dimension of existence.

Release Date:
2020 has been quite the year, not only for obvious reasons but also in our release schedule. After welcoming the wondrous Cosmo & Kramer to the label with their nu-disco delights on ‘Bingo Fun’ EP, we now see SOLIDE family member, Kalyma, returning with a solo release in the form of ‘Clipper’.
It’s been a moment since Kalyma appeared on the label alone, having teamed up with D.Y.A. back in January for another edition of their ‘Operator’ series. In the control seat on ‘Clipper’, Kalyma follows up last year’s ‘Tanger Night Drive’ EP, bringing forward his innate knack for well-crafted rhythms.
On ‘Clipper’, punchy kicks lay the foundation alongside ticking cowbells and funky synths. Kalyma injects a certain glow with warm chords, all wrapped up in a distinctly juicy melody. The perfect soundtrack for sundown sets.

Rising Italian talent Packim is very much one to watch.
He presents an absolute pearler of a debut for Exploited here in the form of ‘Super Future’.

‘Super Future’ is a sleek little plumper of a track, drenched in Italo disco heritage. Its playful offbeat bassline and 8-bit computer game motifs are set against a punchy, authentically old skool beat. The bassline morphs into a buzzing, jittering groove while an analog synth plays out a bittersweet melody that glides beautifully in the upper reaches of the track. The pitter-patter of hi-hats creates the urgency, while FX risers push the energy further, and the arrangement is kept suitably varied to ensure that the track feels like a living, breathing thing that will readily consume any worthy dancefloor. 

You very much get the sense from this track that Packim has really studied his electronic music history to a tee, and that he has a brilliant knack for taking the sounds of yesteryear and updating them with a modern, sophisticated twist. More please!

Early feedback:
Biesmans: Will try.
Alinka: Love it.
Sasha: Bouncy and cool.

After a well received Lost Tapes Vol. 4, that already contained one of his works, REES
returns with his debut EP „Enter The Realm“ on Berlin-based AEON.
Known as the owner of the eclectic ‚Paradiso’ label and releases on NEIN & Love Attack Records this long awaited EP will see the light on June 16h and will includes a remix from no one less than Curses.
With this release the Uk-based DJ expresses a darker mood in his music that he felt the urge to showcase. The music holds a great deal of energy and a glimpse into the artist's mindset.
„Dutch Willow“ is a unique track to my discography,“ Adam says. And so it is to AEON's. Already supported on several live streams during the pandemic, this track and its bassline will be stuck in your head after a short listen; carefully marching and evolving throughout with a surprising second half turn.
With its gritty arpeggios, glitching machines and a surreal ambience, Enter The Realm - the title track is screaming energy from the heart of the night.
Berlin based, NYC Born Curses known for his releases on Jennifer Cardini's Dischi Autunno & Amsterdam’s Bordello A Parigi does an incredible take the original, injecting his deadly blend of New Wave and Post-Punk magic into into it.
The closing track of this EP is named after the search project for extraterrestrial life by radio wave pattern analysis“, REES describes. „Project Phoenix“ is a chuggy, extraterrestrial exploration of cosmic synths, retro-futurism and the world of Sci-Fi.

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)
