"Shir Khan's Exploited label can always be relied upon to bring us dancefloor-friendly house, and his Black Jukebox series has a reputation for unearthing heavy club weapons." (MIXMAG)

Shine up a quarter, the Black Jukebox is back! Shir Khan presents a quartet of disco house killers on the fifteenth edition of this floor pleasing, ass teasing series. Taking the controls for the A-side are Glasgow duo Illyus & Barrientos, who slap us with a pair of sleazy strollers primed for the peak time. Armed with the finest rolling bassline you're likely to hear this year, "Camel Brother" kicks the EP off in fine style, taking a groove+vocal sample approach reminiscent to Oliver $'s "Doin' Ya Thing", but with a little extra pizzazz and fx use. Things kick up a little bit for "Just Bad Shit", a fist pumping disco house bomb complete with thick, throbbing bass, tight and toppy guitar licks and mind melding spoken vocals. It's one of those cuts which keeps on giving, building to 'huge tune' status as the searing strings and crowd noise flood the frequencies. Over on the flip, Purple Disco Machine (me neither) teams up with synth wizard Lorenz Rhodes, who takes a break from tour duties with Jamie Lidell and Detroit Swindle to bring his intergalactic synth skills to "Birds". A far out fusion of classic house keys, Blaxploitation guitars and samba influences, this jam should do serious damage on the sweatier floors this summer, especially when the breakdown rolls into town. Dayne S takes the controls for the B2, bringing down the curtain with heart lifting sounds of "In The Streets". Walking the tightrope between thwacking beats and gentle melody, Dayne drops intricate soul guitar over wall shaking percussion before taking a keyboard for a walk in the latter stages.Do yourself a favor and pick it up before this limited collector’s item sells out.

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)
