With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

PillowTalk & Soul Clap - Love Train ft. Greg Paulus & Crew Love

"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.

We couldn’t resist to release this soulful boogie disco house joint GOLDEN GIRLS from Tigerskin & Jack Jenson featuring vocals from south african rising star Lazarusman.

BOOM!

The both producers about their session: „We were looking  for inspiration by listening to various bassline stems freshly recorded the week before. And we checked the secret studio archive which includes the recordings of almost 30 years of Tigerskins work. Looking for hidden treasures in hundreds of recordings we stumbled across a simple and unreleased drum arrangement.

Just for fun we added one of our basslines to it and recorded a bunch of melodies with some of the old Moogs. You know you're working on 'one of those songs' when each member delivers exactly the ingredient that the others were thinking of when working on their part. When Lazarusman sent the vocals and as we listened the first time to the demo version of what would become ‚Golden Girls' we both looked at each other and agreed that this might be our best work so far.“

First feedback:
Jamie Jones: Sounds cool.
Tanner Ross: Really feeling Golden Girls!
El Txef: Alex is the fucking master.
Francesca Lombardo: Very lovely release.
Tensnake: Nice.

Mark Farina: Nice.
Thomas Von Party: Nice groove.

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)
