Dutch producer The Close Up mysteriously popped up out of nowhere in mid-2013. With his dreamy but catchy first release ‘Better With You’, he’s all set to put himself on the electronic music map. We got introduced to him by Zip from our labelmates Homework from Amsterdam. He has never played his music to anyone - except us. The Close Up likes: classical piano music, jazzy chords, bouncy synths, catchy melodies, doing studio sessions till 5 in the morning and eating French toast. 

Check out his first release featuring Gabriel Self and a club-friendly remix by Homework.

If the original version with this crazy indian percussion middle part - doesn't catch you, you might like KOLOMBO's straight house version. Or the great SOCIAL DISCO CLUB remix. Check it out! For sure this is one of the catchiest tunes we released for a long time.

Hi fam, I teamed up with my dear friend PURPLE DISCO MACHINE. So you can expect a full power 4-to-the-floor club weapon! The energetic REWORK on SUPERLOVER´s Steam is straight up bouncy and just nuts! Rumbling bassline, snappy claps, catchy vocal cuts, funky piano chords and a lot of goosbumbs. The massive drop after the long break has an ecstatic house anthem quality, yeeeah !!!

OUT NOW : MOTHER028 : Superlover - Steam (PURPLE DISCO MACHINE & NHAN SOLO REWORK)

“Beyond the Time” é uma faixa de melodic house hipnótica que mistura texturas orgânicas, baixo profundo e vocais etéreos em uma atmosfera expansiva e cinematográfica.
Uma viagem sonora entre espaço, tempo e sentimento — onde o som se transforma em luz.

Kamp! is a Polish electronic pop trio formed in 2008 in Lodz, Poland. Their sound is often described as melodic synth-pop influenced by 80's new wave, 70's krautrock and 90's french house genres. But listen for yourself, as genre-dropping doesn't quite do them justice.

"Melt" is another feel good song from the polish trio who are experts in the art of doing catchy melodies and stick to the ear chorus. For remix duties were called Midnight Magic, Xinobi and Zimmer who made diferent aproaches to the song with great results.

"Melt" is their second single for Discotexas, following "Cairo" on 2011, which included a Beatport top ten remix by Moullinex. Kamp! have just released their debut album on their own Brennnessel label.

Support: The Magician, Bottin, Yuksek, Anoraak, Moullinex, Mark Moore, Pete Herbert, Sharam Jey, Justin Faust, Mirror People, Drop Out Orchestra, Lou Teti, Disco Bloodbath, Slow Hands, Severino (Horse Meat Disco), Bxentric, Hard Ton, Jerry Bouthier, Jeremy Glenn, ATTAR!, Pharaoh Black Magic...

Kamp! will play live in London, at Birthdays Club, on February 24th and Austin, TX at SXSW (Kitsuné Showcase) at The Tap Room on March 14th.

[a]pendics.shuffle feat. Blakkat "Heavy Burdens High (Safeword Bonus Edit)"

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)
