Here's a quick lesson in modern history:
In 2008 Nigerian born, Toronto raised MC Isis Salam was propelled into the spotlight. Thunderheist, an Electro-Rap duo, brought a singular and radical sound to the electronic music scene that became Isis’ stage. Instantly gaining respect from their peers Isis had the opportunity to collaborate with musical heavyweights Tyree Cooper, Pharell and Junky XL. In 2009, break-through performances with Noreaga on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Perez Hilton’s SXSW Showcase supporting Kanye West launched her up into the stratosphere.

But don't get it twisted . This ever so versatile chameleon is not only an emcee , a vocalist and a dance foor diva she is also now being recognized as a producer in her own right. ISIS SALAM's live set is a pure on-stage evolution: opening with deep-breathing, bass- heavy house; it morphs into sexified nu-disco before growing into a full-blown dance party. She is accompanied on stage by DJ Eluize a dark and mysterious vixen, who controls the knobs and decks providing you with everything you could ask for and just that little bit more.

Fast forward to 2014 and ISIS SALAM, now residing in the epicentre of the electronic scene, Berlin, collided with the minds of German duo Kruse & Nuerenberg. The first of many love child's “Let Go” is the first product from this encounter and sets a standard of what’s to come. Both born and raised in a rural area near Hamburg, Florian Kruse and Nils Nuernberg embrace the new breed of German artists who create bass-heavy, disco inflected house music, propagating a certain excitement and energy, that the world has been waiting for.

Let Go translates to video with colour, energy and urban concrete as well as Isis Salam with pure dance evolution replete with two Tasmanian dancing devils. Isis and her dancers ooze style taking in Berlin's backdrop as a starting point for their infectious dancing moving effortlessly through Berlin’s streets and stores, with a brief cameo appearance from Kruse & Nuernberg who, like in real life keep the music bumpin! This is entertainment: spotlight on, mic check 1-2 - a full-blown dance party, on screen with sound.

Even though Nils Penner, also known as one half of Penner + Muder, is not a new name in this business this is his first release on Exploited and guess what? It couldn’t be a better fit.
Penner, originally from Bremen, brings his unique sound which comprises a flawless and balanced mix of deep house, heavy grooves and well thought-out basslines. After releasing on labels such as Freerange, Suol and Compost Black Label, Penner succeeds to amaze again.

The two tracks on this new single are each other’s perfect supplement. They both breath out the light-heartedness that is an ideal fit for the beginning of Spring.
While „Bubbles” will put a smile on everyone’s faces with its feel-good rhythms, „The Thing” is an undeniable clubtrack with a nice old-school vocal that will get you and the ones around you dancing.

With this release Nils Penner is creating a warm and good-natured vibe so we suggest you just let it happen and experience it…

After touring around the world, producing spot on remixes and spectacular releases, 2013 was more than a good year for Round Table Knights. Therefore Exploited is excited to see them back on the label.

The connoisseurs between us will recognize names of race horses while reading the track names. Even though this has nothing to do with their original, musical yet cheeky jackin’ sound these tracks are both „sparkly” and true delights as their titles already indicate.

Midnight Sparks starts with a nice vibe but will surprise with its fresh and jazzy arrangement thanks to the Wurlitzer sounds that were provided by their former piano teacher. This is definitely a combination that works on the dancefloor while it can also provide you with your daily dosis of house music. Morning Delight, with piano chords that were played by the same piano teacher, is a bit more steady but perfectly harmonized with some acid influences.

This release is probably the best evidence that Round Table Knights are heading to an even more exciting future than what they’ve already experienced and accomplished.

Love or hate his infamous 'Twitter beefs' there is no denying the legendary status of this house music vanguard. With 20+ years of DJing and producing under his belt, this is DJ Sneak's first release on Exploited: A collaboration with Murk (Oscar G and Ralph Falcon). 
Back in 2003 Murk released 'Dark Beat' - a track that topped the Billboard Dance charts and became the underground smash of the year. 

So how did this all happen.. 
A few months ago we asked Sneak for a remix by mail but we didn't get a reply. After 4 months he suddenly popped up in our mailbox, apologized and said that he finally had some studio time. In the end he sent through some tracks to see if we like them. The rest is history as youre probably listening to one of the tracks right now. 

This quirky and funky house track (a 10 minute journey) is only the tip of the ice berg though. Expect 2 Releases from Sneak on Exploited.

Let’s start with a bit of a cliché: 
We all know Belgians for their chocolate but Mickey takes the sweetness of this track to a higher level. And not in a corny way. On the contrary, in a delicate, elegant, thoughtful way just as we know the Belgian producer. For „Sweet Baby” he carefully doses the beeps and clicks with a bit of a dreamy vibe, topped of with intriguing vocals from heaven.. 

Yes, Mickey is back on Exploited. His labeldebut „Walk Away" went straight into the Beatport Deephouse Top 10. „Sweet Baby” is definitely one that will stick, figuratively of course.

As an adolescent, he dreamt of playing in a rock group, but also discovered Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Front 242 and Detroit techno. After having created his own studio and put together a few mixes on a Roland Compuphonic synthesiser (yes, that’s where the name comes from...), Maxime aka Compuphonic soon found himself behind the decks at Dirty Dancing nights in Brussels and recorded his first tracks for Dirty Dancing Recordings. In 2006, his reputation exploded on the dance floor with the groovy "Emotion", produced in collaboration with Tiga and released on his label ‘Turbo’. In 2012 he released his highly anticipated "Sunset" Single on Get Physical - a piece of hedonistic house that is entirely characteristic of his style.

"We are the music that we create” once said Maxime Firket aka Compuphonic who is now another fine Belgian addition to the Exploited roster.

He brings his spontaneous, positive and accessible sound to the label. With this Radio Atlantis EP he continues his search for originality and emotion. The overall atmosphere is filled with the good kind of melancholia everyone likes to feel once in a while.

„Radio Atlantis”, the title track, starts with organ like sounds that are accompanied by a witty bassline, unique vocals and even some acid influenced pads.

„Walking On The Edge”, with the same relaxed vibe as his megahit „Sunset” on Get Physical, is different from Radio Atlantis but at the same time also the perfect match. The storytelling vocal leads you through the track and its extraordinary simplicity.

To top off all of this you can expect some more music from Compuphonic on Exploited. We’re looking forward already, you hopefully too.

Exploited label boss Shir Khan has always been an admirer of Mathias Modica aka Munk who is the creative mind behind Gomma & Toy Tonics records. Furthermore Mathias’ work and label inspired Shir Khan to start his own label. As they’ve known each other for 9 years it was kind of natural to exchange ideas and release a single from Munk.

For this project he teamed up with Lizzie Paige from New York and Mona Lazette from London who are now both living in Berlin where the three of them also met. Once they started working together they tried to find a new way of connecting today’s electronic dance music with elements from different genres such as No Wave, Soul, 80ies Pop and Indie Disco. The result: a perfect match!

Southern Moon is the first pre single of the upcoming Munk album. With its crisp house beat, funk baseline and beautiful singing of Lizzie Paige this track is a shiny little summersong that makes you think of the great production of Trevor Horn or Masters at Work with a new edge.
All instruments where played by Modica, recorded at Munk's Berlin studio but mixed in Los Angeles by Rob Rox (Ellie Goulding, Banks) – which gives the song this special crisp sound.

Southern Moon is the next step in the evolution of Mathias Modica's Munk sound. By practically starting the Indie Disco wave around 2003 with „Kick out the chairs“, his collaboration with James Murphy, he later produced well known club hits such as „La Musica” and „Down in L.A.”. During all of this he kept releasing also some more weird, different and new pop music: for example productions with Asia Argento, Nick McCarthy from Franz Ferdinand, Who Made Who, Mercury, Dimitri from Paris, Daniel Avery and other artists that he released on his label Gomma – which made him one of Germany's main players in the new music scene of the last 10 years. Probably that's why London's NME recently defined the Gomma label as „The German version of DFA“.
Southern Moon is the first single of Munk's upcoming new album (Sept 2014) and comes with remixes by HNNY (Local Talk) and Darius Syrossian (Hot Creations).

In 2013 Mathias already had three singles that had quite a buzz: Surf Smurf – the collaboration with Rebolledo (Pachanga Boys), The Yes!Yes! EP on Endless Flight from Japan and The Beat – which went up high in the Beatport Charts and has been played by everybody from Todd Terje to Eats Everything and Disclosure.

«So they spoke, sending forth their beautiful voice, and my heart desired to listen, and I commanded my comrades to free me…» But they didn’t. Still, even Odysseus, Homer’s epic hero, could not resist the tempting chant of the two sirens that sat on the island he and his fellows had to pass by. In this way, Homer’s Apologue warns us about the irresistible and therefore dangerous power of music. Believe it or not, Sirens Of Lesbos’ first release «Long Days, Hot Nights» makes Homer’s warning come true. Timeless, pitched down vocals and a warm, lush, lulling and satisfied piano tell the tale of a place where the boundaries between reality and fantasy become blurred and where space and time lose their purpose – a place to get lost in. Maybe Homer was right and music is a dangerous thing. Be that as it may, Sirens Of Lesbos’ «Long Days, Hot Nights» makes danger feel pretty awesome.

Jimmy & Fred are back on Exploited offering the indie-sounding, oldschool disco infused sound. This rather mysterious duo might not immediately ring a bell but we’re pretty sure James Curd and Fred Everything do. Their debut "I See Lights" (including a remix by Karmon) as Jimmy & Fred became a Top 10 Beatport Deephouse Hit.

James Curd started DJing at the age of 15. As he was underaged and legally not allowed to be in clubs he had to snuck in to play. His passion and persistence payed of though. He has played -and still does- alongside very respected acts and DJs. Furthermore he released on labels such as DFA, Permanent Vacation and Eskimo to name a few. He also released on Derric Carter’s Classic Records as „Greenkeepers” creating his own Greenkeepers-Swing, a mix of swing music and Chicago house. Around the same period he started his „Greenkeepers Music” record label.

Fred Everything who started playing live in the early 90s at raves and clubs in Canada is a well known entertainer in the house scene as his sets were a true mix-and-match of everything from house to techno and more ambient music. He has been in the business for over 20 years, worked on more than 200 music productions and he has no intention to stop. Luckily. Nowadays he lives in sunny San Francisco and he’s working with labels such as Drumpoet Community, Local Talk and Lazy Days.

It’s indisputable that these two passioned and talented musicians combined can only bring supernatural sounds.

To make it even more exceptional Locked Groove and Mirror People are on remix duties.

Locked Groove, known from Scuba’s Hotflush imprint and on the brink of releasing on Permanent Vacation, gave the track a somewhat hypnotizing makeover without losing his talent to produce powerful yet subtile music.

Mirror People got on a more disco-funky road for this one. Being influenced by the almighty Giorgio Moroder it clearly suits the original.

Yes, these four producers together equal a solid ep. Hope you like it too.

The saying „All good things come in pairs” couldn’t be more true in this case. Kyodai, 2 highly talented and driven brothers, are back more powerful than ever with this „Sound Of The Falls” EP. 

The duo gained respect from musical heavy weights like Masters At Work, Jimpster, Gilles Peterson, Rainer Trüby and released on labels such as Freerange and Pokerflat. While their musical sound is quite elaborate they always bring an amazing energy and emotion that they also take with them during their live sets. 

For this EP it becomes immediately clear that they’ve taken a deeper and slightly darker path than their previous work on Exploited „Music Rises Up”. The title track „Sound Of The Falls” is without any doubt a true club banger. It immediately hits the spot with its intense bass and keeps on growing in an almost hypnotic way to a floating house track. 
„Streamflow” is a bit more techy but pretty similar to „Sound Of The Falls” as it’s evenly catchy and „well-groomed”. For both the title track as for „Streamflow” they’ve carefully woven in their Spanish origins without following a typical pattern. 


This „deeper” approach of making music definitely does these two justice. We see good things coming for them, real good things and so Exploited is incredibly proud to present you this EP.

DJ Sneak - Night Dish EP (Preview) | Exploited

Early Support by Noir, AndHim, Pete Tong, Karotte, Tensnake, Karotte, Flashmob,  Fake Blood, Sasha, Animal Trainer and more...

For his debut release on Exploited „Step in my direction” he got support by Duke Dumont, Pete Tong, Maxxi Soundsystem, Tensnake, Karotte, Mirror People, The Rapture, Till Von Sein and many more so we’re happy to say that one of our favorite Australians is back on the label! 

With the title track „Only 1” he brings back his soul inspired house sound that brings all of us in this incredibly good mood.. And it does not stop there, Andrea Viti K’s strong and original vocals make the track complete in its lightheartedness. 
To make it even better Jad provided us with a special synth dub that will definitely make some dance floors explode instantly.

„Daddy’s groove” has just that little pinch of right drama without losing Jad’s typical sound as he finishes the track with some funky synths.
We perfectly imagine ourself riding a horse into the sunset on one of those magnificent Australian beaches while listening to this track. 

This EP screams summertime and we foresee big things for Jad. So keep an eye on him.

Compuphonic aka Maxim Firket is a multifaceted producer and DJ from Liège, Belgium, who was raised on a well-balanced diet of classical music, early electronics and industrial variants from Kraftwerk to Front 242, and the revolutionary soundwave that swept over from Detroit, Michigan. Hence, Maxim did not only grow up to become a skillful violoncellist, but also a producer with a unique approach, blending his various sources of inspiration into one intelligent mix of old-school electro, house and minimal stylings. So far he has released on imprints such as Dirty Dancing, Tiga’s Turbo, Get Physical and Exploited. His ’Radio Atlantis’ release on Exploited got praise all over the place, was big in the Beatport Charts and still is on heavy rotation at Radio Studio Brussel. ’O Cypres’ is his magnificent follow up on Exploited. Enjoy.

Early support by Axel Boman, Maxxi Soundsystem, Maya Jane Coles, Andhim, Skream, Dubfire, Claude Von Stroke, Citizen, Re.You, DJ T, Agoria, El Txef, Droog, Von Party and many more.  

After swapping files between Vienna and Berlin, Joyce Muniz and BPitch Control’s Kiki teamed up for a very special collab with Kiki taking on vocal duties. The result is a funky, deep and unique EP. 

Having gained support from international heavyweights, Joyce Muniz has been on fire as of late. Not only was her 'Back In The Days' (Exploited) release with Bam from the Jungle Brothers an established hit, she also peaked in the top 3 of the tech house Beatport chart with the Wehbba remix of her track Sleepless on the Brazilian Warung Recordings. Since then her demand has gone through the roof, it would seem there’s no stopping this lady! 

Also Kiki, the Finnish architect-turned-dance music producer is no stranger to most of us. With an impressive discography and a smartly composed sound, the BPitch Control long stay makes his Exploited debut. The two producers mixed down this exciting project in his Berlin studio.

We're very curious to see where this musical path may lead. . .

Exploited’s semi-regular “mini compilation” series continues, with Shir Khan collecting together a quartet of new cuts from the label’s extended roster featuring Psychodelico, Piemont, James Curd, Freeform Five/Tuff City Kids.

Design by Neven Cvijanović from Floor 5:
Shir Khan's childhood images turned into golden memories
(in this case a Monchichi / Shir Khan's first soft toy).

About the artists:
1. PSYCHODELICO
Psychodelico are a white duo from NY. Anthony & Martin met at University in the early 90’s. They immediately synched together and decided four years later to open a video rental store on the 5th Avenue.
The love for the 80’s and the rise of digital convinced them to hold tight to the VHS Library and start collecting all sorts of analogue machines knowing that one day for some reason it would have paid back.
For the last 3 years they have been discovering and enjoying their vinyls and watching with friends hundreds of old music video tapes. 
After getting inspired and writing some great music in the dusty basement that once used to be their store they finally decided to approach the dream label.
The story continues with Psycodelico’s first single “Sex On The Phone” getting signed to the mighty Exploited! A pure 80ies Cocktail: Human League and Depeche Mode Stylistico.

2. PIEMONT
Made up of long-time friends Frederic and Chris, the pair first decided to hook up and make music together back in 2007 and, since then have released on techno labels like Monika Kruse’s Terminal M, Area Remote, MBF and SKINT.
Piemont’s sound is best described as organic techno. Their music always comes stuffed with a sly robo-funk and is built in many rich layers. Their preference for ambient sounds, melodic lushness and abstract electronica makes every track different from the next - for evidence just listen to their recent 'Jack my Records' for Exploited, or earlier classics like Carbonat and Back Smoker.

3. JAMES CURD
After dropping "Red" and "I See Lights" on Exploited as Jimmy & Fred, the unstoppable Adelaide-based producer James Curd has teamed up with JDub (lead singer of the Greenskeepers Project) for a new collaborative track called “To Cool For School”. Anyone remember "Buffalo Girl" from 2008 featuring James Curd, Derrick Carter and JDub from 2008 on Greenskeepers Music? "To Cool For School" sounds like a proper update with illmatic verses and styles for 2014.

4. FREEFORM FIVE/TUFF CITY KIDS
The return of Anu Pillai’s Freeform Five has also coincided with a minor resurgence in electro clash – we’re not quite at 2007 levels yet but Five’s latest single (released earlier this year on Exploited), ‘Brandy Alexander‘ is pointing to something similar.
Pillai doesn’t really do simplicity, and ‘Brandy Alexander‘ sees the producer back to his most daring concocting a mixture of rolling acid lines, clash-y vocals and twisted basslines – and with an unreleased remix by Tuff City Kids 'Brandy Alexander' is back in safe hands.
Based just outside of Frankfurt Tuff City Kids is the alias for production duo Gerd Janson, boss of Running Back and long time DJ (Resident DJ in Panoramabar and Robert Johnson) and Arto Mwambe member Philip Lauer. Besides their far-reaching and esteemed solo careers, Tuff City Kids have provided remixes for high-profile artists such as Azari & III, Tensnake and Ali Love and released original EPs on Delsin and Osgut Ton sub-label Unterton. For Freeform Five's "Brandy Alexander" they delivered a stylish Italo-Disco-Update on Exploited which has been roadtested several times at Panoramabar Berlin and finally sees a release.

ANDY BUTLER / HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR about this release:
"James Curd always bringing it." 

James Curd and Luke Million, what a pairing! After dropping an incredibly groovy tune “Yellow Magic” on Exploited as Luke & Jimmy, the unstoppable Adelaide-based producer James Curd has once again teamed up with fellow Aussie producer Luke Million (of The Swiss), for a new collaborative track called “Say The Words To You”. Featuring vocals from Nah Man!, aka Yeah Boy, the side project of Parachute Youth’s Johnny Castro, “Say The Words To You” is filled with Million’s signature synth lines and some serious French Touch vibes, and it’s every bit as delicious as you’d expect from this pair. Blast it above.

"Say The Words To You" pulls inspiration from the era when Chicago and Paris were walking hand in hand delivering the best house music in the world. It was like a friendly race to space with each city inspiring the other to out do the last release. Featuring Nah Man!’s vocals gives the song a perfect blend of vintage stylings with a current generations voice.

James Curd and Luke Million’s “Say The Words To You” EP comes out on September 8th (Beatport) / September  22nd (I-Tunes, Juno ect.) via Exploited (Beatport)

The six piece collective claims to have its Kibbutz somewhere in the Aegean Sea. Sirens Of Lesbos aka SOL (Sun in Spanish) have a serious, noble goal: They want to spread mantras – musically uplifting and spiritually meaningful songs that inspire you to embrace life in all its forms; that make you dance in your fantasy or in the real world. Their acclaimed debut single «Long Days, Hot Nights», is not only a balearic ode to the spirit of summer, but can also be seen as the first deep breath of a game-changing meditation. Om. 

American Men’s Fashion Magazine GQ recently picked the track as one of the best 25 songs of the summer 2014. From Ibiza to beyond – it is an amazing start for this unknown act from Greece who call their sound “Fantasy Music” and dedicate this record to DJ Alfredo – master of the Balearic Beat. Watch out for these 2 new remixes by Claptone & Fred Falke and the outstanding official music video directed by Camilla Mantovani and shot by acclaimed cinematographer Marc Gomez de Moral who has photographed videos for Pet Shop Boys, El Guincho, Sonàr festival, Two Door Cinema Club and The Battles and for the latter work was nominated for best cinematography in a video at the UK Music Video Awards 2011.

Only one listen to the crystal clear rapture in the sound of Bodhi shows the funk influenced take on dance music this young duo have to offer. Olly Howells and Luke Welsby started producing together 2 years ago but ever since they kept on capturing the right attention. Therefore it is no surprise that Exploited picked them up to release three uplifting, warm and modern dance tracks. 

Bodhi’s crisp productions are known for having this retro yet fresh feel. It is because of this talent that they caught the attention of various celebrated labels such as Future Classic (gaining the attention of Pitchfork), Doc Daneeka’s Ten Thousand Yen, Sinden’s Grizzly and Push & Run. Furthermore, they are featured on the next Waze & Oddyssey Street Tracks vinyl compilation alongside Ejeca, xxxy, Citizen and Huxley. 
Over the past 12 months Bodhi have achieved a number two spot on XLR8R’s monthly ‘Most Downloaded’ charts, a number 1 spot on Hype Machine, featured on Mixmag as ‘Mix Of The Week’ and filmed an ‘Introducing’ session at the prestigious Red Bull Studios as well as notching up over two million listens on Soundcloud. They have been receiving love from a host of Radio 1 DJs and producers, including the likes of Rob Da Bank, Giles Peterson, Huw Stephens, Toddla T, Skream & Benga, SBTRKT, FaltyDL, Bonobo and Brodinski.

With this release on Exploited they only keep on broadening their musical universe proving their talent once again.

Bodhi - Satisfaction (Preview) | Exploited

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)
