"In a sea of identikit imprints, Berlin born label Exploited continues to surprise and impress us with their unique and varied output. Case in point, this new video release from Paris DJ duo CLAAP! and DJ-cum-vocalist Santana – no, not the Spanish guitar legend, but someone altogether more modern. Part of a “mini compilation” edition (and an ongoing series) that also includes cuts from Until The Ribbon Breaks, Sirens Of Lesbos and K.E.E.N.E., “Jacques” has finally got the video treatment, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Oozing holiday vibes, the sunwashed visuals come courtesy of Polina Rabtseva, a fine art videographer whose output has included both work for big brands like Mercedes and Bacardi, as well as more esoteric explorations of erotica – from, importantly, Rabtesva’s female perspective. Filmed in Dune du Pilat (close to Bordeaux in France), and one of CLAAP!’s favorite places on earth, the video follows a bunch of real-life friends having an enviably good time; it’s the perfect accompaniment to the track’s ludicrously buoyant beat and unashamedly good vibes. Plug in and lay back…"

Shir Khan Presents Secret Gold 8

PREMIERE : Jeff Mental - TooDiscoo [Melómana Records]
BUY : https://melomanarecords.bandcamp.com/album/toodiscoo
Release date : 24/01/2025

We are excited to present the first release of 2025 on Melómana Records. The Murcian duo Jeff Mental, composed of Pastore and David MK, returns with a strong presence on the electronic scene with their highly anticipated EP titled TooDiscoo. These musicians, DJs, and producers, who seamlessly blend their roots in punk, rock, and pop with the sophistication of electronic music, have revolutionized the Levantine underground scene thanks to their unique and versatile style. TooDiscoo captures the essence of Jeff Mental with two original tracks that combine elements of funk, soul, and disco, resulting in a vibrant and fresh sound. Their ability to create a broad sonic universe, with Anglo-Saxon influences and a refined electronic base, has established them as an emerging reference in electronic music.

The EP doesn’t come alone but is accompanied by two remixes that take the project to the next level. The first remix, by Chilean producer JGR, renowned for his fresh and sophisticated style, reinterprets the track TooDisco with a more house-oriented approach, adding deep touches and infectious energy, perfect for the dance floor. With a track record of productions that balance the classic and the modern, JGR brings his talent to transform this remix into an anthem essential for any DJ set.

The remix of I’m Done With You, Honey is delivered by Lebollet, the Cordobese artist who infuses the track with his underground and garage style. His reinterpretation retains the soul and disco essence of the original while adding psychedelic layers that give it an unparalleled personality.

Damon Jee is back on Polaris.This time, he presents ‘Memories’, a significant Ep composed with Demian, a Damon's old friend and brother who sadly passed away recently. Demian was a lovely person with a big heart and he was also a very good DJ and producer, with some great releases on Kompakt and Correspondant, to name but a few.
This ep is a tribute to Demian, may his soul rest in peace.

We start with ‘Memories’, a featuring track vibrant square waves and perfectly harmonised electronic composition, immediately mesmerizing the listener with its fascinating leitmotif and arpeggios, serving as a musical testament to a trip beyond time.

We continue the story with the timeless “A night in 2006”, a track that is a true explosion of emotions and flavors, an impressive weapon full of organic instruments and nuances that has a clear objective: to make you dance.

Damon Jee & Demian - Memories [Polaris]

Built on a foundation of thunderous basslines, distorted vocal swells, and feverish percussion, this release drips with late-night club atmospherics. Designed for the dancers in the dark, these tracks are a fusion of underground pulse and cinematic level tension.

Sincopat is excited to present a fearless return from Cabizbajo, solidifying his position at the forefront of Mexico’s electronic music scene.

The release opens with “White Eyes,” where Cabizbajo crafts a hauntingly hypnotic groove that pulses with energy and ethereal tension. This track exemplifies minimalist design, with each sound carefully chosen to draw the listener into a moody and immersive experience.
Next, Waltervelt offers a reinterpretation of “White Eyes,” taking the original and transforming it into a spacious, dub-influenced groove. This version unfolds with deep atmospheric pressure and elegant restraint.

The journey continues with “Hive Mind,” a cerebral, percussive exploration of collective consciousness through rhythm and texture. This track is raw, precise, and irresistibly physical— ideal for the darker hours on the dance floor.

Club Kids closes the release with an ode to rave-era rebellion: punchy, stabs in a track that oozes charisma and club nostalgia while staying undeniably forward-thinking.

Enjoy!

Jannowitz Records once again pushes boundaries with its latest Indie Dance release, a collaborative gem from MMYYLO, SNYL, and David LeSal. This tracks are a hypnotic blend of dark groove, retro flair, and emotional depth—seamlessly fusing analog synth textures with crisp modern production. From the very first beat, the guys builds a cinematic atmosphere, driven by pulsating basslines and airy pads that nod to the golden age of synthpop, while still feeling fresh and club-ready. MMYYLO’s signature melodic tension pairs beautifully with SNYL’s rhythmic sensibility, and David LeSal rounds it out with subtle but powerful sound design that keeps the energy evolving throughout the track. There’s a sense of storytelling in this release—it’s not just danceable, it’s immersive. Perfect for late-night sets, festival sunsets, or introspective solo listening, this release adds another strong chapter to Jannowitz’s ever-growing catalog of genre-defying dance music. Verdict: A beautifully constructed journey through the darker shades of Indie Dance—emotionally charged, rhythmically tight, and endlessly playable.

SNYL & MMYYLO - Future Echoes

HYPERFIXATIONS vol. 1 is the debut compilation from Portugal’s forward-thinking label Ritmo Futuro, showcasing tracks they’re obsessively drawn to—music that demands attention and lingers long after the party ends.

Curated by Rick Offen, this first volume captures the immersive state of sonic hyperfocus, where rhythm overtakes thought and music becomes pure sensation—like the trance-like focus of Formula 1 drivers.

The compilation spans hypnotic minimalism, percussive intensity, and futuristic textures—each track a moment of deep, instinctive connection.

SNYL -  I Remeber Those Nights (feat. David LeSal)

A gloomy urban scene seen through a broken window, neon lights reflected in the glass. Fog envelops the dark skyscrapers, creating a dystopian atmosphere. MMYYLO is definitely back on Polaris.

He presents us with 'Fury', a dark song dripping with darkness.Brazilian maestro Waltervelt (Ellum, Diynamic,...) is also on hand with a remix full of madness that will have many screaming.

Enjoy!

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)
