2018 closes with a selection of 14 Exploited tracks that went down like a storm.  

There is dreamy indie-dance styled vocals cuts and melodic techno from GHEIST…

Kyodai channeling the spirit of African Rhythm with uplifting female vocals soaring over muted, plucked instrumentation and tuned percussive hits…

Joyce Muniz’s electro-infused techno production, where jagged synth arpeggios rub up against her sharp snappy percussion and bass hovers menacingly below…

T.U.R.F.’s disco-house sample invasion…

James Curd’s dirty Chicago Loft Party…

Ossie’s pumping house workout, flexing with weighty garage bass…

Yarni & Javi’s orchestral sounds, field recordings and balearic tropical house…

and many more great tunes keeping things eclectic !

Alberto Melloni - Get On Disco

In the star-strewn depths of Baltimore, TDWS crafts a radiant sound, laced with cosmic pulses.
Inspired by the rich imagination of 70s & 80s sci-fi films, he composes like one dreams — between blurred neon lights and ghostly spacecraft.

His music, designed for the club, makes bodies move while gently stirring the soul — an alchemy of raw energy and melodic sensitivity. Each track is a miniature odyssey, a suspended scene, where synths paint interstellar landscapes. The rhythms beat like electronic hearts, oscillating between tension and release. TDWS doesn't just make you dance — he invites you to journey inward, eyes closed, into otherworldly realms.

There's no need to introduce the Swiss army knife of the label Brandski. Through his remix, he breathes new elegance into progressive trance, carried by a retrofuturistic breeze. His reimagining moves forward, magnetic — where 90s echoes meet visions of tomorrow.

TDWS - Ten Years (Brandski Remix)

Bizzarro Universe put their own spin on Justice’s iconic *D.A.N.C.E.* with a powerful hybrid edit. The track keeps the magic of the original alive with an epic vocal break, while layering in a punchy house bassline that’s twice interrupted by a gritty UK-style bass riff. Add a spiraling acid synth on top, and you’ve got a high-energy rework that moves dancefloors without losing its nostalgic charm.

Each artwork celebrates LGBTQIA+ icons — this one features the legendary Sylvia Rivera 👑🌈

Jobriath (born Bruce Wayne Campbell, 1946–1983) was an American glam rock musician, songwriter, and provocateur whose brief career made him one of the first openly gay rock artists to be marketed by a major label. Though commercially unsuccessful in his lifetime, he is now regarded as a foundational figure in queer music history. Jobriath was explicitly and unapologetically gay, openly discussing his sexuality in interviews and incorporating homoerotic imagery into his art.
Jobriath was not coded, closeted, or ironic. At a time when even queer-friendly artists relied on suggestion, he declared:

“I’m a fairy, and I’m proud of it.

The backlash was swift. In a pre-AIDS-crisis, deeply homophobic industry, his openness was treated as a liability. Radio programmers, promoters, and audiences largely rejected him. By the...  more

We’re excited to welcome Osccurate to the label with his debut 3–track EP. A release that captures his sound in full, each track leans into a distinct trance-infused NRG while keeping a subtle, refined edge. We have been big fans of Osccurate’s work for a while now, so we are very happy to put this out to the world.

The originals are joined by three remixes from CLOSE PROXIMITY, Oliver Scala, and Boudi. Each one reshapes the material in their own way, adding new perspectives to round out the EP.

PREMIERE: Oscurrate - Visual Entropy (CLOSE PROXIMITY'S Freedom Mix)

Bizzarro Universe - Planetary Groove [Exploited Club]

“Kiss” is a new single release that channels the raw spirit of oldschool warehouse sounds. A techno driven house cut that thrives on stripped back energy and the atmosphere where sweat and desire hang thick in the air.

The groove pushes forward with a relentless urgency, layering a muscular kick with alarm sounding textures that feel both gritty and hypnotic. There’s a physicality at its core. A sound that invites surrender to the heat of the room and the tension between strangers.

Kyra Khaldi steps in with a remix that takes the original into deeper, more progressive territory. Her rework stretches the groove and lets it breathe, layering subtle melodic elements that build tension without losing the track’s raw drive. The result is a version that feels expansive and hypnotic, offering a refined counterpoint while keeping the heat of the original intact.

Kaap - Kiss (Kyra Khaldi Remix)

From the heart of Berlin's Midnight Operators, Sarah Wild's "Afterglow" pours piano-laced euphoria straight into the communal bloodstream of the dancefloor. This is the sound of a memory being made in real-time, where a warm, propulsive bassline vibrates through the crowd and a shimmering hook catches the light just right, weaving its optimism through the atmosphere. It’s a steady, climbing energy built for shared elevation, promising that the best moments are always ahead, that the peak is never truly over. And waiting in the wings, the Vhyce remix holds the key to the after-hours, a shadowy flip side to this radiant coin.

For his take on "Afterglow," Belgian producer Vhyce channels the relentless momentum of his busy 2025 – a year already stacked with originals, collaborations, and remixes for a curated roster of labels from Epicure, Saint Vaast, and Feinstoff to Critical Monday and Jane Musica. He expertly steers the track into deeper, more progressive territory, crafting a late-night narrative that retains the original's heart. The acidic edges are softened, making way for a mere pinch of disco that infuses the track with a subtle flavour and a hint of glitter. This is a refined, hypnotic version that relocates the track's soul to a more intimate, groove-focused corner of the dance floor.

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)
