NEAT make a welcome return to Exploited with 'Flamingo'; a record showcasing the versatility of the Stockholm duo across 3 disparate moods. 

The title track kicks things off to a hazy and hypnotic start. Plumes of reverberated vocals and a mournful piano motif are ferried along by textural, organic percussion. As the track progresses, a more jagged vocal churns into the mix while a 909 hat locks in a steady, shoegazing groove. 

'BraSex' follows up with a raw, forthright house groove guaranteed to wake up the floor. Jacking claps and snares are woven in lock step with a piano stab which is bolstered by a deep set sub. Woozy vocals, some synth stabs and subtle sax flashes season the track with an irresistible energy before 'Heart Life' adds a further facet to the EP with an allaying Italo-tinged groove. 

A bustling bass line sits under neat, punchy drums as progress nudges towards a wide open breakdown. Expansive chords and airy vocals dash broad strokes of pastel colour across the record before the groove snaps back for a kinetic conclusion.

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)
