So Good

So Good (feat. Kelli-Leigh)

Budding Australian talent Alex Preston is here to wash away those winter woes and to pick up your spirits with the slice of summer that is ‘Love You Better’. His first official single on the Toolroom after curating and mixing the Poolside 2020 compilation, and a string of killer exclusives on the label. Alex Preston’s ‘Love You Better’ is an uplifting, feel good record which brings nothing but sunshine and positive energy. Based in Sydney, the upcoming DJ, producer and live performer has been making a name for himself in the scene, building an impressive following and gaining support from Pete Tong, Fat Boy Slim, Danny Howard and Toolroom’s own Mark Knight.

Alex Preston gets the party going with both his unique live performances and recordings, utilising his signature guitar sound to showcase his abilities as a virtuoso musician and electronic music producer. This is especially prominent on his latest release ‘Love You Better’, his Chic esque guitar riffs flitting around a sun-soaked disco house beat, full of that Australian party vibe which will put a smile on anyone’s face. The record makes use of a classic Steely Dan track – ‘Peg’, sampling cuts of the vocals and brass sections adding a little bit of sunshine to an already outstanding release. ‘Love You Better’ is the perfect soundtrack for those spontaneous trips to the beach and warm summer nights of non- stop dancing where you can just forget about the world.

The six piece collective claims to have its Kibbutz somewhere in the Aegean Sea. Sirens Of Lesbos aka SOL (Sun in Spanish) have a serious, noble goal: They want to spread mantras – musically uplifting and spiritually meaningful songs that inspire you to embrace life in all its forms; that make you dance in your fantasy or in the real world. Their acclaimed debut single «Long Days, Hot Nights», is not only a balearic ode to the spirit of summer, but can also be seen as the first deep breath of a game-changing meditation. Om.

American Men’s Fashion Magazine GQ recently picked the track as one of the best 25 songs of the summer 2014. From Ibiza to beyond – it is an amazing start for this unknown act from Greece who call their sound “Fantasy Music” and dedicate this record to DJ Alfredo – master of the Balearic Beat. Watch out for these 2 new remixes by Claptone & Fred Falke and the outstanding official music video directed by Camilla Mantovani and shot by acclaimed cinematographer Marc Gomez de Moral who has photographed videos for Pet Shop Boys, El Guincho, Sonàr festival, Two Door Cinema Club and The Battles and for the latter work was nominated for best cinematography in a video at the UK Music Video Awards 2011.

Sultry sounds from Aeroplane and Purple Disco Machine, as the team delivers a steaming piece of deep house. Is that a steeldrum captivating the floor, while a nicely flowing bass and percussion are getting things moving? For sure, Sambal is hot stuff (pun intended), making it perhaps the ultimate anthem of summer 2016. Better taste this one!

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)
