connected look to Melbourne talent Rami Imam for immersive
organic house sounds on his Akati EP.
Rami Imam has risen up through the ranks from local star to
international talent over the last few years. With every release,
he serves up a melodic odyssey with soothing tones, deep
grooves and powerful sound design. He has released through
the likes of Bibliotheque, Street Tracks and Upon Access and
now brings more dynamic sounds and ethereal moods on his
connected debut.
The sublime 'Akati' soon enchants with its organic house
grooves and wooden percussive hits. Choral vocals light up
the airwaves with real soul as the majestic synths bring
poignancy to this deep roller. On 'Dune Kids', the beats are
broken up and take you on a ride through space next to lush
chords laden with melancholy. More delicate piano keys and
whispered vocals are underpinned with a soft, subtle acid line
to make for a tune that builds to a peak full of rejoice. Stylish
closer 'Kora' provides more soft but moving drums and
melodies, wispy synth motifs and serene vocals. It's packed
with the sort of emotion that will make it stand out in any
setting.

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.

PREMIERE: Ali X x Ximena Feat. Rimada Bros, Fausto - TikkiTaka (Original Mix) [Logia Records]

One of the TAU family’s prodigious talents, Upercent, returns for a four-track expedition into the creative expanse of his brilliant mind. Upercent’s unique sound, blending organic with synthetic and unorthodox effects, has captivated dance floors around the world. 
Unsurprisingly, his ability to weave stirring melody and emotive storylines into his productions has led to releases with Innervisions, Kompakt and Watergate, as well as several outings with TAU. With Etapa Plena, Upercent further solidifies his distinct sound...

The EP opens with ‘Tranqui Tronco’, a nifty roller driven by dense percussion. A repeated vocal motif appears as the intro guides the listener into the first breakdown. Upercent’s use of unusual sounds and effects demonstrate his unmistakable sonic fingerprint, as the cut increases in vibrancy. Another breakdown raises the temperature even higher and the track rolls out with the same contagious, driving rhythm.

‘Nuquelar’ follows, with a deep tribal rhythm oscillating at its core. As we dive head first into this cut, hefty drums and a range of urgent chimes and instrumental licks add depth. Warped vocals are also looped into the fold, creating a cacophony of odd sounds as Upercent carefully builds the tension with a huge breakdown. The energetic release brings us back down to Earth with the persistent rumble of booming drums taking the track to its conclusion.

The penultimate cut is ‘Tempesta’, another dark and dense composition. Upercent’s talent for keeping it simple yet engaging, and just that little bit different, is evident here from the very start. This cut’s dramatic narrative keeps you locked in, as the percussion especially plays out a captivating story. A moment of peaceful reflection is injected at the midpoint, before we’re immersed in sonic theatrics once more. Moody drums and solemn bass giving this one its gloomy atmosphere.

Finally, ‘Ruta’ closes the EP with its insistent energy. In typical Upercent style, this cut develops in a considered manner with layers of sound building steadily, cultivating a sinister atmosphere. The voice of a maniacal character enters the fray halfway through, accentuating the unsettling vibes. An ominous tone pervades throughout, leaving the listener fully immersed in the dark side as the EP comes to an end...

It is a celebration of origins, of voices that echo through time, and of roots that grow stronger as we move forward.

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)
