Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 13 (Preview) | Exploited

Knowing that he had to tackle both Ibiza residencies and European festival gigs this summer, Doorly hunkered down in his L.A. studio earlier this year and got to work. Since then, he’s enjoyed a robust release schedule marked by a new track practically every week for the last two months. Riding high off his latest EP for Relief, he’s stacking an impressive two-track EP for Toolroom that will surely see him back in the charts. 

“Lustfahrt” has the kind of loose, swung drums and cheeky disco snippets that’ll be perfect for warming up dancefloors this summer, and the twisted synths during the builds have enough energy to make it a notable groover. We tried reaching him ahead of the release next week, but the man’s just played Hideout Festival in Croatia and had to book it back to Sankey’s in Ibiza with a pit stop last night in Dubrovnik; so we’ll let it slide this time.

Track of the Day: Doorly "Lustfahrt"

Molding the morning-tipped “Gryning” into their own likeness, Shakarchi & Stranéus apply breathtaking brushstrokes in the form of hollow percussive hits and lofty, well-polished pads. They achieve sophistication while making sure things don’t land too left-field and scare away casual listeners. It’s a pristine piece, no doubt.

Track of the Day: Ishivu “Gryning” (Shakarchi & Stranéus  Remix)

Robert James is gearing up to make his debut on Steve Lawler’s esteemed VIVa imprint next week with three original cuts that could level any dancefloor they come across. Loaded on the second spot of the EP is “House Invader,” which sees high-ranking house duo Groove Armada firing off their terrace and dub mixes. The original is a monster of its own, armed with an infectious vocal hook and vivacious basslines that gnaw at your feet until you succumb to their pressure.

Track of the Day: Robert James “House Invader”

Dark, hypnotic deep and minimal techno with cinematic flair, driving sub-bass, sharp synth arpeggios, and eerie violin and clarinet layers built for the club.

Devildance

There is a tendency to return to the essence, where melodies breathe with serene clarity and emotions flow weightlessly. Each sound unfolds like sunlight through silent glass, revealing beauty in restraint and grace in stillness. A farewell whispered in a simple way, but resonant with the light of everything learned along the way.

Shattered Light

Warsaw producer Ptaki joins an impressive line of remixers on the forthcoming remix album of Basic Colour Theory from Pets Recordings chiefs Catz ’N Dogz. Alongside the PMJ and Hell Yeah producers are Jamie Jones,  Claude Von Stroke, Fred Everything, Anja Schneider, Eats Everything, Maurice Fulton, Jay Shepheard and more!

Premiere: Catz 'n Dogz - Czas Poczeka (Chyba)(Ptaki Remix) [Pets Recordings]

Futureboogie release PBR Streetgang’s ’12.32’ on 4th July, and the two-tracker is backed with a deliriously good remix by London-born producer Fort Romeau.

The rework takes the original version’s swirling acid licks, gnarly basslines and pumping drums and, whilst keeping the pace and mood pumping, remodels the melody, sending things on a deeper, more cosmically energised trip.

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Fort Romeau’s remix of ‘12.32’ by PBR Streetgang above.

PREMIERE: PBR Streetgang ‘12.32 (Fort Romeau Remix)’

How do you define necessity? What do you want? A lot? A little? Some? More? Human's are selfish by nature and design, difficult, complicated and overly demanding. It's time to break free, want less, want little, want nothing. Lower the bar, level the playing field, equate the population and redefine necessity. It's up to you...

Jan Ketel & Siggatunez are the latest artists to appear on Tieffrequent. They deliver an EP for the label which explores the elegant undertones of house music. Cut, chopped and screwed they stylishly blend samples into melodically driven soundscapes. Lush, deep and as the sound should be this is an accomplished release.

PREMIERE: Jan Ketel & Siggatunez - Want Some [Tieffrequent]

This is a teaser of my rework for youANDme, coming out in a few weeks on Drumpoet Community. Feel those bassbins rattle!

All Comes Back

Exploited’s semi-regular “mini compilation” series continues, with Shir Khan collecting together a highly eclectic quintet of new cuts from the label featuring Nathan Ball & SevenDoors, Radiophobia, Kraak & Smaak, Athlete Whippet and Aklay. 

1. Nathan Ball - Right Place (SevenDoors Rework)

Premiered by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08tb8p8
https://soundcloud.com/exploited/bbc-pete-tong-premiere-nathan-ball-right-place-sevendoors-rework-exploited

SevenDoors is a producer and DJ from the deep within the depths of the ocean from the abyss where music consist of tonal strings. He calls his style ‘Sound of the Whales’. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes punchy, emotional or seductive. 'Right Place' is a track which was originally written by Nathan Ball and now has been transported to the dancefloor by SevenDoors. The track was premiered in his BBC Afterhours Mix for Pete Tong and finally sees the day of the light. 

2. Radiophobia - If You Ever Change Your Mind

Defined by their unique, experimental sound rather than an excessive fear of radiation, the affliction for which they are named, Radiophobia released their debut release ’Can’t Stop Believing’ on Exploited in late 2015. Inspired by a variety of genres, from minimalist techno to retro acoustic and 70s inspired vocals, the secret project’s offering ’If You Ever Changed Your Mind' is a catchy, melancholic, psychedelic dance tune. 

3. Kraak & Smaak - Hendo

Premiered by Jason Bentley at KCRW, LA in morning show 'Morning Becomes Eclectic":
https://www.kcrw.com/@@playlists?host=&channel=Simulcast&date=2017/06/20

The Hendo track came about after a long period of working on last year’s Juicy Fruit album material. As is often the case, creative juices flow slowly for a while, but then, all of a sudden, there is that spark again. With the upcoming Ibiza season in mind this track rolled out quite quickly, an autonomous club tune that will be available just in time for Summer dj sets all over the globe. What does it sound like? Think the quirky Scandinavian disco sound meets Kraak & Smaak. A staple track for everyone's record bag this Summer.

4. Athlete Whippet - 3am

Featured in RA new tracks section:
https://www.residentadvisor.net/tracks/861962

Athlete Whippet is disks & dance duo formed of Squareglass co-founders Aviram Barath and Robin Paul Braum. Since their debut in September 2016 the Peckhamer’s hazy sun-kissed House found love by DJs worldwide including Scuba, Bicep, Laurent Garnier, Rob da Bank and Tom Ravenscroft as well as support by BBC1 & 6 and XLR8R, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Delicieuse Musique and Thump. With a good hand for remixes, the duos releases have come with reworks including Dekmantel’s Awanto 3, Lobster Theremin’s Ross From Friends, Brownswood’s Simbad and Horse Meat Disco founder Severino. A quick start to 2017 has already seen the Whippets release two singles and curate one of the main stages for Peckham Rye Music Festival which they will be sharing with Teki Latex and Ian Pooley.

5. Aklay - Return Order 

There is not much known about Aklay - besides he is living in Berlin studying music production and doing some part time work at a label management company. Originally from the land of Nottingham in the UK. Star Wars and Man United fan. 1 half of the record label CIRCA Records (currently under refurbishment).
