Exploited Rec promises to strip the wallpaper from the walls of your home stereo.
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)

There are very few producers who managed to put their first production on a track-listing from a Radio 1 Essential Mix. Even fewer can claim that feat after being featured by Sasha, and to top it all off, during the Delta Heavy launch party at WMC Miami. It was no surprise that this debut production from Kris "One for the Road" was quickly signed to Hope Recordings, and was followed by the formation of the live electronic group Grayarea. Following a highly regarded guest mix on John Digweed's Kiss FM 100 show, AM Only picked up the rights to represent the group in North America and Grayarea took to the road for several headlining US tours.  Kris found solo success in his new home of Los Angeles, quickly becoming a resident for Spundae and Godskitchen, while his first solo production "Last Minute Flight" reached number one on the Balance Record Pool chart, and was included on Nick Warren's Global Underground 24: Reykjavik. A few years and several number one chart singles later, Kris is back in the Midwest, shacked up in the studio and aggressively pushing his agenda of on-the-edge, quality productions. His home grown imprint Nightshade Music has quickly risen through the ranks, mainly due to Kris' relentless pace and a keen ability to place music in the right places in the industry. Kris has been able to achieve through a simple philosophy of working smart. His debut Grayarea single was initially self released, giving Kris the opportunity to make the right connections and learn the proper channels to promote his music. That first release topped the UK Buzz and Balance Promote Group charts, receiving support from Sasha, John Digweed, Pete Tong, Paul Van Dyk, Dave Seaman, Timo Maas and Hernan Cattaneo, and was included on several compilations. Grayarea went on to release tracks and remixes for Bedrock, Silver Planet, Distinct'ive, Hybrid, John Digweed, Steve Porter & Thrill Kill Kult, with compilation appearances on Tiesto's "In Search of Sunrise 4", Ferry Corsten's Ministry of Sound, Global Underground and countless top DJ charts and playlists. Perhaps the most refreshing part of his success is the dedication shown to the vision of artistic future in personal life. It is a never-ending story of young artists making it big at first, then slowly fading away into our residual consciousness, and finally disappearing forever to some cubicle shaped reality that some insist on calling "real life".  Kris has shed all the artificial life ideas that our society drills into us every day. "Cold turkey" is the best way to get it done and after launching Nightshade Music in February 2008 he has never looked back. He has dedicated all his time to studio work, managing and promoting his label and touring extensively with his eclectic, funky DJ sets. Expect to hear anything from Rick James to Moby, 2 Live Crew to Kraftwerk, all mixed fluidly over a bed of infectious melodic house, progressive, techno and whatever he can fit into the groove. Kris has reached several recent milestones as a DJ, producer and label owner; 2009 marks his second appearance on the flagship Global Underground mix series (Darren Emerson GU36: Bogota), with tracks also featured on chart topping compilations from Armada Music (Simon & Shaker: Surfaces Vol. 1 and Blake Jarrell: Concentrate), and hit singles on respected labels Baroque, Ready Mix and his own Nightshade Music imprint, with top talent enlisted to remix his work (Manuel De La Mare, Tiger Stripes, Mazi). It should come as no surprise that this recent string of hits has kept Kris in demand at clubs across the US, Europe and South America. Kris's scope is not limited to the dance music industry, having recently licensed music (co-produced with Grammy nominee Bill Hamel) to Konami's 10th anniversary edition of "Dance Dance Revolution", with other commercial music clients including Heineken, ESPN, Crate & Barrel, MTV and Falken Tires. Kris hosts Nightshades on DI.fm and Protonradio.com, with the Nightshades podcast reaching thousands of listeners each month. Past guests have included Desyn Masiello, Paul Harris, Dirt Crew, Pako & Frederik, Thomas Gold and a rotating roster of label artists and supporters. Kris has been a staple on Fuel XM80 The Move, D:Fuse's top rated "People" on XM, and Chicago's legendary 'Sonic Boom' on Q101FM. Kris has performed at clubs and festivals across the globe; Ultra, Area:2, Vision (Chicago), Vinyl (Denver), Vanguard & Circus (LA), House of Blues (Las Vegas) to name but a few as the list keeps growing..... ..
