Leading a path back to the early days of Exploited Club, this second release on the label from Atlanta-based Diynamic / VOD / TAU artist oozes old skool electro flavour from every pore—and it tastes delicious.
‘We Only Want To Be Bad’ leads the charge, flexing Hi-NRG muscle with its off-beat bassline, snazzy melodies and campy vocals. The breakdown takes things into a more heavenly space before we slam down into the hard-funking groove, ethereal vox synths and jaunty chord sequences. A masterclass in retro revivalism.
‘Song & Dance’ has shades of early Erlend Øye or Nicolas Jaar in its mysterious and pared-back vocal stylings, while rubbery bass funk and squelchy synths continue the Hi-NRG feel. ‘Brain Dead’ is a sexxxy little number, all propulsive electro funk, squealing synths and deliciously groovy bass. The bugged-out vocals fit perfectly with the retro-futuristic darkness of the synth pads and vibrato leads. ‘Lie To Me (Alt Mix)’ is the cherry on the cake, where a stomping breakbeat rhythm jostles with cool melody, distorted guitar-like fuzz and effortless vocals. The twists and turns in the composition, slick production and myriad synth parts make it an addictive listen.

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)
