Ukranian producer Komilev is warmly welcomed back to Exploited Club, following records on Disco Halal, Watergate Records and Frau Blau with an assortment of classy dance music. 

Title track 'Falling For You' opens up with tumbling pianos, pin-prick hats and a well-rounded low end. Vacuum synths and a jagged bass line pave the way for an amorous vocal that generates a cogent force - one that really dials in that Panaorama vibe packed with effervescent drama, soul and sass. 

Aptly titled 'Crisp' follows up with a memorable trip. Neat, clean drums land with airy accuracy while synth-pop chords shimmer. Tripped out vocals churn in circles like mangled memories while a simple, effective bass line pins down a tool-like groove. 

'No Sleep' then instantly captures a certain guttural ecstasy; a sense of joyful nervousness. The top end of the track is decorative and delicate with signals scattered to all corners while a irresistible melody steadily build towards the sort of breakdown that has you squeezing strangers. What breaks out is sheer, giddy bliss before 'This Is Your Out' rolls out a rude and classy mood. 

A tightly-woven break smacks of attitude, continuing to roll while the track journeys through a series of chapters. Percussive breaks and vocal snap shots work in tandem before an organ gently ripples in sending shivers down the spine capping off a well crafted and versatile record.

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)
