São Paulo based Renato Cohen adds to an expansive back catalogue with a 2-hit combo on Exploited Club. Previous releases have come via Pets Recordings, Defected, Future Disco and as well as a recent link up with Exploited regular Joyce Muniz for Permanent Vacation.

'Good Times' sparks things up with bright, muscular drums that pave the way for a rasping bass line - a killer DJ tool. Percussion and FX take the limelight while a syncopated kick / bass bounce off each other. Raw energy is spat out while snares clash and vocals march along with an intensity that doesn't let up. The potency of the ingredients is what carries the track as it confidently smacks of a raw simplicity that fans of Strip Steve will recall. 

'Rain Dance' is a brash and stroppy record that channels the energy of hay-day blog-House. Kicks, snares and bass are given a serrated edge as their wielded with Justice, Vitalic and Soulwax-esque feorcity.

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)
