iTunes - Pre Order - bit.ly/YouKnowTheBeat

'Belgian producer Mickey makes music that's just like his country's chocolate: sweet, smooth and oh-so-enticing. Last year's Exploited releases 'LA Anyway' and 'Holding Hands', especially the latter, are exactly that, not forgetting the stunning 'Sweet Baby' and remixes of Sébastien Tellier and Claptone.
Another Exploited release, 'You Know The Beat', is coming this month and it's a lively, juicy fruit slab of bumpin' house. This guy's roll ain't ending any time soon by the sound of things.' (Mixmag)

'This irresistable piece of funked up house music comes from one of our favourite artists, Mickey. Always delivering freshness, Exploited team up with him again for another unbeatable release. We love this track and will be playing it all year, ideal for brightening up a dreary winter’s day!' WORD UP.' (Deephouse London)

'The general trend in house music as of late has been a bit on the dark side but it doesn’t mean that the best music has been in that territory. Top pick of the week is by the Belgian producer simply known as Mickey who is back on Exploited with this disco-funk jam called “You Know The Beat”.' (Magnetic Magazine)

Featured on upcoming DJMag Selection 01 Compilation + early support by BBC Radio1/Danny Howard, dOP, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Martin Landsky, Laurent Garnier, Tensnake, Riva Starr, ZDS, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, DJ T, Sasha, Bag Raiders, Wildkats, Kasper Bjoerke, Waifs & Strays, Noir, Mia Dora, Laidback Luke, Sonny Fodera, James Curd, Moodymanc, Pezzner, Kyodai, Nils Nuernberg, Crackazat, Brett Johnson, Compuphonic, James Curd, PJU, Jamie Anderson, Sinden, Phonique, Khan, Smash TV.

Mickey starts the New Year with another great anthem. 'You Know The Beat' is a mixup of 90ies French House, combined with a classic old school American House Vibe and Groove. Think Cassius meets Todd Terry.

We saw Mickey, as a newcomer, growing on the label Exploited. His releases 'Sweet Baby', 'Holding Hands' and 'Walk Away' are topping our label's bestsellers of the year 2014. His track 'Sweet Baby' was among the Top 10 best selling tracks at Beatport in the genre Deephouse. Next to his Belgian residency at the infamous 'Libertine Supersport' nights, he travels all over the world to rock the crowd with his energetic DJ sets.

He just finished a remix for Australian 'Modular Label‘ stars 'Bag Raiders' and is currently in London working on his next single.

Six months after their last installment, Shir Khan and Exploited drop another hot to trot collection of disco edits. As usual, there's much to excite, beginning with the familiar guitar solos, Rhodes keys and dub disco pulse of Antilope's "Singing Ghost" rework. Death On The Balcony keep up the reverb and delay-laden dub disco theme on "Addict For Your Love", whose rubbery groove, twinkling pianos and heady vocals have been expertly rearranged to fit house dancefloors. Finally, Matpat go loop crazy on the thumping disco house cut "Only You" which sits somewhere between Rahaan and Soundstream. Excellent stuff all round.

With over 7 million plays and counting on YouTube Compuphonic's 2011 collaboration with Marques Toliver, 'Sunset' raised the bar pretty high. Since then Maxime has gone on to produce remixes for the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Gotye even and fellow Belgians The Subs (winning a Red Bull award in the process) and release two acclaimed EPs on Berlin label Exploited.

Now finally Maxime and Marques have reunited for a new EP on Exploited, 'Magical Shoes', and the results are everything we could have hoped for.

Having delivered two huge club hits in 2014 with ’Radio Atlantis’ and ’O Cypres’, Belgian star Compuphonic returns this February with his third EP for Exploited, ‘Magical Shoes’. 2 tracks of sublime House music, the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP sees Compuphonic finally reunited with the Beyoncé approved American singer Marques Toliver, whose vocals previously graced Maxime’s 2012 breakout hit ’Sunset’.

Once again this Transatlantic pairing have struck gold as Compuphonic’s distinctive brand of deeply emotional, nuanced, House Music provides the perfect setting for Marques’ plaintive vocals. With it’s distinctive Korg M1 organ and shuffling beats ‘Magical Shoes’ instantly brings to mind legendary ‘90s New York clubs like The Sound Factory but thanks to Compuphonic’s production skills it goes well beyond that of simple period pastiche and sounds utterly fresh for 2015, a bonafide club hit that is already peppering the sets of DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Tensnake and The Magician.

As the title suggests the EP’s 2nd track ‘The Sun Does Rise’ is the natural successor to the duo’s previous outing. As deep as the Pacific Ocean this is a trance inducing hymn to hope, music designed to elevate the soul as much as move the body and bring some much needed warmth back to clubland. Expect to hear this played everywhere and anywhere this year where the party goes through the night and the first morning light breaks over the dancefloor.

Recorded in the famous Vantage Point Studios in Antwerp - dEUS’s own recording studio, a special, inspiring moment for Maxime, a lifelong fan of the band - the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP cements his position as one of Europe’s most talented producers and with remixes to come soon on Carl Craig’s Planet E and more original material on Exploited, the future is looking bright for Compuphonic.

Adana Twins - Bleeding (feat. Human Life)

Early support by Loco Dice, Tiga, Boys Noize, Erol Alkan, Audiojack, XXXY, dOP, Ossie, Miguel Campbell, Danny Howard/BBC Radio1, Kiki...

UK-based Australian Light Year’s last record ’Never Know’ on Exploited had ’strains of chill wave and witch house, with looped, distant vocal snippets and a breezy vibe. Since his release on Spectral Sound the former electro house producer was saying hello to L.I.E.S, Trilogy Tapes and more straightforward house and techno.’ (Resident Advisor) 
While his first releases were leaning on the more melodic side ’Feeling This Way’ (his follow-up on Exploited) is more functional and stripped down just to the bare essentials - a drum track and a vocal snippet - pretty much influenced by some of the Ghetto House records he was listening to when he did this track. ’Slow Burn’ on the other hand is a collaboration with Jas Shaw from Simian Mobile Disco. Jas had just sourced some new pieces of kit for the SMD live album concept they were working on. They used a Cirklin sequencer - one of the most intuitive analogue sequencers you could probably use. The track pretty much wrote itself once they sequenced their modular synthesizer. The final version was created, produced and mixed in that one session. We hope you enjoy these 2 infectious tracks as much as we do.

Light Year - Feeling This Way | Exploited

Soul Clap: "James Curd does it again!"
Munk: "Is JS the Frank Zappa of house? I hear them all: B52s, James Chance, Boney M, Todd Terje, Masters At Work. Great Full Pop."

In the last 2 and a half years James Curd has become a regular contributor to the label Exploited. He has released outstanding original material as well as collaborations with Morgan Phalen (their project is called Favored Nations and Morgan also wrote and sang on two singles for the Justice album 'Audio, Video, Disco'), Luke Million (from The Swiss), JDub (from Chicago) and Fred Everything (their project is called Jimmy & Fred which already had a massive dance chart topper with Diynamic act Karmon on the remix for "I See Lights" and one from Locked Groove of Life&Death, Hotflush, and Permanent Vacation fame). Now he is back on Exploited with 5 (thats already a mini-album) new tracks featuring incredible talent such as the sax player Jonty Hall or rapper Jdub. James Curd in his own words about the 5 songs:

1. James Curd - Forever My Friend
"After spending a couple months scoring a feature film I wanted to blow off some steam and make something I would like to play in a club. I love throwing curve balls into songs and try to imagine what a crowded club will do when a 16 bar rhodes solo comes out of nowhere. It's my version of a build up and drop with out the soft synths."

2. James Curd - Jack Be Nimble
"I made this song during a late night studio session right after a night out. It's a homage to my hometown classic Chicago house tracks of JACK. It's an inebriated lyrical session that captures how much fun I was having in the studio that night."

3. James Curd - Tornado In The Basement feat. JDub
"This was written in my old Chicago basement studio with JDub. All the kids in my neighbourhood were around the same age and growing up together. They all graduated from riding bikes and playing in the fire hydrant to an all out EGG war. Every house on my street was getting hit with eggs! Tornado In The Basement is a product of trying to record vocals inbetween the loud bangs of eggs hitting the front windows of my building."

4. James Curd - Everybody Knows feat. Jonty Hall
"This song is a culmanation of a few ideas that where not working as individual songs but came together great as a mosaic piece of music. I chopped up all my favorite parts from a few songs and combined them to create "Everybody Knows". A great horn player from Australias capital city Canberra was in town visiting and he dropped by and did a few takes for me to finish off the song."

5. James Curd - Caught Again feat. JDub
"This is inspired by old French funk songs from the 70's. I wanted a mix of funk with light and dark elements. The bass is funk, the guitar and synths are light and JDub's vocals are dark and a bit intimidating."

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 made his Exploited debut last year - a collaboration EP with producer Joyce Muniz. Now Kiki is back with a solo single on Exploited and we are more than excited.

June 2014: Kiki at Sonar in Barcelona at a Rooftop Party. Suddenly the world seems to stand still.
People stop dancing, open their mouths and point at the uprising Supermoon.
It is blood red and looks much more like the planet Mars than a moon. A magic moment!

Shortly after this incident, Kiki travels back to Berlin - still impressed by the images in his mind - and writes within minutes the melody for his new track he dedicates to the Supermoon.

Not long after this, Kiki gets to Sabaudia in Italy, near Rome, and tests his finished track for the first time on a beach party during Full Moon.

Back in 2015 - Exploited proudly presents you Kiki’s Supermoon - which comes in 2 versions. It’s a kind of magic!

First Feedback:

Maceo Plex: Thanks for the music!

Lil´ Tony (Innervisions): Hitting hard!
Patrice Baumel: I really love Supermoon, it's a very catchy repetitive synth hook that stays with you long after the track is finished - timeless. I feel that the track would have been even more elegant without the bass synth counter motive, maybe an idea for a future remix. 
I'll definitely play this. Thank you very much for sending it to me and congrats for a job well done!
Robbie Akbal: Great stuuf man.. for sure will play both mixes, especially feeling a lot the Revisted!
Ricoshëi (Pampa Records): On my way to Miami right now, and will make sure to support! We're playing at the Luciano & Friends and All Gone Pete Tong parties Wed & Thu daytime.

The Exploited Team is happy to deliver fresh remixes to you from The/Das (Life & Death) and Mark E (Spectral/Ghostly) for Adana Twins’ current single ’Bleeding’ feat. Human Life.

'Friso and Take It Easy have gained international acclaim as the Adana Twins with club hits like “Strange” and “Everyday” and through quality productions such as these the two have cultivated a style that is fun, refined and distinctly their own. The pair’s latest offering, “Bleeding (feat. Human Life)”, is no different. Sleek beats and clever vocal snippets from LA-based act Human Life are supplemented by an intricate synth line and a driving beat builds intensely towards the middle of the song before gradually easing up towards its finale. The structure style is unexpected, making this track a heavy hitter for a packed, sweaty dance floor.' (Thump)

About The/Das:
The/Das introduced their unique brand of 'techno tenderness' in 2013 with a set of EPs on italians finest ›Life And Death‹, followed by an Ep and a LP on Berlin sweetest ›Sinnbus‹. They came back with a trippy remix for Hundreds on Krakatau Records.
Shir Khan met Fabian from The/Das a few times in Berlin nightlife. Their shared vision for music & life led to this remix on Exploited.

About Mark E:
Mark’s first forays into production were, naturally, edits—warm, understated, and interestingly mellow, with tempos hovering somewhere between 105 and 115 BPM. Slowly, Mark went beyond edits and into original production, starting his own label, MERC, and honing a sound that was uniquely blue collar and utilitarian—classic, almost industrial house, with a tinge of disco warmth. A stellar remix for Matthew Dear’s “Little People (Black City)” introduced him to the Ghostly/Spectral fold, who released his first artist album, Stone Breaker. Shir Khan has followed Mark E since his first edits, saw him DJing one time in Berlin and just felt the time was right to ask for a remix.

Brazilian-born Joyce Muniz immersed herself in the world of electronic music after moving to Austria at the age of 12. By the age of 16, she purchased her first 1212s and became one of Vienna’s youngest DJs. When the raw and pulsating sounds of Brazilian dance music baile funk infiltrated European house and techno, Muniz connected with her origins by providing vocals for Viennese producer Stereotyp. Solidifying her stance as a multitalented artist and MC, Muniz satisfied her craving to produce by diving deep into house music, carving out her own niche through a smooth-yet-funky sound often complimented by sultry vocals and thumping basslines. 

’An early coup for Exploited was 2011's 'Morning Love', Muniz's collaboration with Louie Austen. An old school Viennese crooner who'd worked alongside the rat pack in Las Vegas, he'd risen to prominence again after the turn of the millennium, alongside the likes of Peaches and Gonzalez, on the crest of electroclash. With his lived-in vocals riding a spacey house groove punctuated by snippets of breakbeats, Austen was so impressed with Muniz that he asked her to produce his next album.

This mutual respect was to arise again in the shape of Maya Jane Coles, who helped get Muniz's music into the hands of 20:20 Vision, so far resulting in two Eps. Then Richie Hawtin got hold of an unreleased track and played it on his Ibiza Boiler Room. “I really was wondering how Richie Hawtin got it!” Joyce said. Still, got it he had, leaving just the clearance of its Kraftwerk sample from 'It's More Fun to Compute' and the addition of a vocal by ex-Jungle Brother Bam, for the modern day hip-house of 'Back in the Days' to become a hit for Exploited last year.’ (DJMag) Not to forget her collaboration track ’Warriors’ with Bpitch longstay Kiki or her recent remix of Traffic Signs aka Steve Bug and Jake the Rapper’s ’Cookie Jar’.

Her next release ’You Always Get Me High’ will drop on Exploited in May.

DMC World Magazine:
"Sao Paolo and Vienna’s fiercest exports, Joyce Muniz makes a welcomed apearance on her home label Exploited Records with ‘You Always Get Me High’ a throbbing, bass line driven, deep tech hip thruster with a spoken vocal fascinator that wobbles precariously on top like a bucket of water on a door. ‘Down Brooklyn’ is a hyper-jacked groove with saw and scissor action synths, tricksy syncopating rhythms, panning, reverbed incidentals and a warm, snuggly, comfort-blanket of an environment that you won’t ever want to leave. God bless Joyce Muniz’ and long live the underground."

You Always Get Me High

Joyce Muniz - You Always Get Me High | Exploited

In April 2015, Agean New Age Disco Act Sirens Of Lesbos released their 2nd Single ECSTASY on Exploited. The song that, according to Sirens Of Lesbos, sounds like a «rainbow coloured waterfall in the forested mountains of Tahiti», reminds us of those rare moments, where we feel one with the universe and tells us, where to find Shangri-La. Now we asked Purple Disco Machine, Kraak & Smaak and XXXY to remix the track.

A special delivery on Annie Mac's Friday night BBC Radio 1 show, Copy Paste Soul is back on Exploited with a new track. 

Laurent Garnier about the release: 
"I have been hammering this tune very heavily for the past couple of month. 
You should have seen the people in Paris last friday @ Peacock Festival going fucking mental for it ! This tune is awesome ..... Pure Detroit vibes to send you straight to Heaven !! 10/10"

The rise of Copy Paste Soul over the last 3 years has seen the elusive producer garner the support of the electronic music elite having been tipped by Mixmag, Pete Tong, Annie Mac and B.Traits all supporting his soul-quenching sub-heavy rave inspired sound. By incorporating his love of Detroit Techno, Drum & Bass and UK and US garage into a finely honed style, Copy Paste Soul is leading the charge with his left-of-centre broken-house sound.

Releases such as his Blink, Look At Me, People On The Street and I Wanna Be EPs on the highly respected Exploited in 2013 caused respective storms, and remixes for the likes of Laurent Garnier, Photek, Deadmau5, Kele Okereke, James Wolf, Low Steppa, Alex Barck on Sonar Kollektiv plus an appearance on Audiojacks Gruuv signal that his production nous is respected and sought after by those in the know. Last summer Copy Paste Soul launched his own imprint 2 Swords with more original material by himself plus remixes from Dubspeaka, No Artificial Colours and Man With No Shadow plus an upcoming release on Carl Cox's label Intec. 2 years later after his debut on Exploited we are happy to welcome Copy Paste Soul back on the label with a tune that just completely blew us away the first time we heard it. This track Home has written the word RAVE all over. Happy spinning.

A golden scooped beak slowly emerges from the darkness. Claptone is bringing us ‘Charmer’, his first artist album.

In the last few years Claptone has become known for releasing big tracks primed for late nights and packed clubs all over the world. ‘Charmer’ however fuses his signature house sound with a more eclectic aesthetic, featuring guest appearances from Nathan Nicholson (The Boxer Rebellion), Jimi Tenor, Young Galaxy, Jay-Jay Johanson and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah amongst others.

He today shares introductory track ‘Puppet Theatre’ ft. Peter, Bjorn and John, a collaboration which offers a glimpse of the depth to be found when peeling back the layers of ‘Charmer’.

The album will drop following a packed summer touring schedule which reaches all corners of the globe and it follows the run-away success of Claptone's remix for Gregory Porter, a tune which dominates Ibiza this year and has been the biggest selling track on Beatport for months on end.


The album also features ‘Dear Life’ and ‘The Music Got Me’ as well the early singles ‘No Eyes’ and ‘Ghost’, both enormous smashes on essential Berlin house label Exploited.

Claptone will be holding album launch parties all over the planet in the coming months kicking off with a special showcase at W Amsterdam on the eve of release during Amsterdam Dance Event.
‘Charmer’ is set for release on 16/10/15 on Different Recordings (the label that launched the careers of Crystal Castles, Tiga, Crystal Fighters, Vitalic). 


Puppet Theatre

This is our personal favourite of the label for this year!

Included in DMC UK Buzzcharts and Mixmag Reviews. Premiered by Big Shot Magazine & Deephouse Amsterdam. Props from Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space), Axel Boman (Pampa/Studio Barnhus), Tensnake (True Romance), dOP (Circus Company), Acid Pauli (Crosstown Rebels), Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap Records/Hercules&Love Affair)...
Functional, ethereal, hallucinogen, deep, oceanic, balearic disco house. This is how Sirens Of Lesbos' first volume of their new ESSAYS series sounds like:
Moving across the genres...
While SOL's signature material is rather song structured / radio orientated, ESSAYS displays a different, more experimental and 100% dancefloor oriented dimension of the group. Volume 1 is a shamanic silver bullet for all DJs who praise dream-like house music, electronic synthesized melodic beats & grooves and some Ibiza Sunshine.

Tim Sweeney:
"Nice one."

Axel Boman:
"Polynesian Dance at sunrise at Sunset Campout this week is the plan! The SOL release is great!!! Love it!! :)"

Tensnake:
"Quite a strong EP."

Mixmag:
"Wicked - like a mature nintendo game aimed at the dancefloor."

dOP:
"Like the happy mood of Polynesian Dance!"

Acid Pauli:
":)"

Patrick Pulsinger:
"1980s Japan!"

Friendly Fires:
"Lovely. Polynesian Dance is ecstatic."

DMC UK Worldmagazine:
"3 beautiful and unique tracks bringing smiles and grooves to the floor. Polynesian Dance looks set to be a classic for sure."

Deephouse Amsterdam:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/full-premiere-sirens-of-lesbos-7-minutes-in-tibet/
'Their new EP on Exploited will undoubtedly make its mark in this month’s release calendar. The three-tracker gets under your skin from the outset. Premiere 7 Minutes in Tibet is less of a dance-floor filler than it is a perfect after party anthem.'

Big Shot Magazine:
http://newsflash.bigshotmag.com/mp3s/stream/37095/
'This month the wildly creative posse return with Essays Volume 1, an EP tailored exclusively for the dance floor. “Together In 1980s Japan” is a dreamy disco-house affair sporting a bouncy bassline, shimmering melodies, crafty synth-driven bleeps and oh-so-angelic vocal samples.'

Exploited – Adana-twins-heroe

Just in time there are 3 remixes being delivered now. One by London Party Promoters Krankbrother, Ellums Dino Lenny and SevenDoors of Diynamic fame.
About Adana Twins:
Adana Twins have been championing Hamburg's party spirit across the globe since their formation back in 2006. The duo are made up of Friso and Take It Easy, who despite the collective name aren't related at all, but their relationship with music is what keeps them united. It was their huge releases on Exploited 'Everyday' and 'Strange' that catapulted them into the spotlight in 2012.
Since then they have loyally continued to churn out tunes on the imprint, gathering support from all across the board.
The pair’s latest offering is entitled 'Heroe' which includes remixes from SevenDoors (Diynamic/Exploited), Krankbrother (Krankbrother Records) and Dino Lenny (Ellum).

Radio Worldpremiere by Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1 last friday.  

"‘Otec’ is an epic, 80s electronica infused soundscape that owes much to Giorgio Moroder and Jean Michel Jarre. ‘Megaptera’ drives hard with sombre chords, compressed synth pads and sparkling arpeggiated keys. It’s an end of the summer sand or shadow dancer and a big room laser chaser. Special." (DMC Worldmag)

Tomas Barfod/Whomadewho: "Love the spacey feeling."
Dyed Soundorom/Appolonia: "I'll try out Megaptera."
Tensnake: "Otec is beautifull."
Joris Voorn: "Beauty!"

One of the fastest rising Producers at the moment is the elusive SevenDoors.
A passion for music is evident, carefully crafting audio with feeling and emotion. SevenDoors is very much a concept, developed over many years and now ready to be unleashed upon the dance community.
His track ’Movement Of Whale’ (out on Diynamic) was among the Top 10 Tunes at Sankeys Ibiza for this season. Solomun has been playing it the last 6 months in nearly every set of his and it was the most talked about track of his Boilerrom Set during BPM in Tulum, Mexico. SevenDoor’s music has already been playlisted by Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Danny Howard and Toddla T on BBC Radio 1 and rinsed by DJs such as Solomun, Scuba, AME, Gardens Of God and Adriatique to mention a few.
After remixes for Icarus on FFRR and Adana Twins on Exploited, he finally makes his debut on Exploited (his release ’Void’ was released a few months ago on the sublabel Exploited Ghetto). With ’Otec’ Sevendoors goes more Electronica but keeps his trademark sound leading “you into a dreamscape that ripples and cascades like a waterfall over large“ (DMC World).

Track Premiere by Thump:
http://thump.vice.com/en_ca/track/radiophobia-fear-not-radiation
https://soundcloud.com/thump/1-radiophobia-cant-stop-believing

"Defined by their unique, experimental sound rather than an excessive fear of radiation, the affliction for which they are named, Radiophobia is the latest act to join Berlin imprint Exploited Records. Inspired by a variety of genres, from minimalist techno to retro acoustic, the group will today unveil their debut release, Can't Stop Believing." (THUMP)

Radiophobia is psychedelic, meditative dance music that inspires strong feelings of dark melancholia or transcendental euphoria. Radiophobia swirl around from minimalistic techno to full on 70s indie vocals. Musical inspiration comes from a wide variety of genres and artists, from classic to contemporary sounds, from pop to experimental and from genius to downright silly.
Radiophobia adopt the definition of "Fusion" and "Synthesis". ’Can’t Stop Believing’ - Radiophobia’s debut and first record ever - blasts into an unpredictable huge vocal moment.
Radiophobia about ’Can’t Stop Believing’: “If you skipped through like a Vinyl you would think it was more of an album and not a single.“ It’s all about the extended epic version.

Shir Khan Presents Exploited 2015 Ffwd Rwd

The Music Got Me (Instrumental Version)

Claptone - The Music Got Me (Instrumental Version) | 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)
'"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)
