'Berlin label Exploited is set to launch a brand new sub-label. The first release on Exploited Ghetto comes courtesy of Italian producer Mennie' (Mixmag)

'His first release on Exploited Ghetto features a tune with airy synths layered with a catchy percussion groove on the A-side. With the B-side also packing quite the punch, the first release gives a very promising start to the new label and to Mennie’s 2015. (Deephouse Amsterdam)

Early support for first release by Laurent Garnier, AME, Lee Foss, DJ Sneak, Riva Starr, Booka Shade, Maxxi Soundsystem, Mista Jam & B Traits/BBC Radio1, Dubfire, DJ T, Arthur Baker, Ray Okpara, Pedro Winter, Waiffs & Strays, Tensnake, Laidback Luke, Karotte, Sasha, ZDS, Pezzner, Bushwacka!, Worthy, Kiki, Edu Imbernon, Mark Farina, Mia Dora, Marco Resmann, Miguel Campbell, Wildkats, Hackman, Till Von Sein, Mickey, Brett Johnson, Fred Everything, Agoria, Larse, Christian Prommer, Joyce Muniz, Bag Raiders, Jamie Anderson.  

While Exploited continues to release music from its key artists, Exploited Ghetto is dedicated to one-offs, newcomers but also friends from the extended family. 
The first release is courtesy of Mennie. Together with production partners Bambook he kept a Top 5 position for months with the track „Slip Away“ in the Beatport Deephouse Chart. 

With a forthcoming remix for Scuba on Circus Recordings and more original material, the future is looking bright for this newcomer from Florence. DJMag Italy recently named him one of the most representative Italian emerging house producers. He holds a residency in Club999 where he shares the decks with many international DJs and keeps continueing playing 5 hour sets.

Welcome to the second installation of Exploited Ghetto - the new sublabel from Exploited.

Pre-Order at iTunes here: bit.ly/PJUEarlGrey

After a long time of DJing and partying together, London based producers PJU and Earl Grey raided their collection of floppy discs full of edgy samples and put them into a dance project.

With a shared mutual passion for all things early Chicago house and JACK, they draw inspiration from the early days, when house music was raw and edgy, and bring that vibe into the present. A handful of fun packed studio sessions messing around with a Roland drum machine & a SH 101 bass box resulted in 'Call Me Up', a monster house club track with a clear mission to make you J-A-C-K !

PJU is the project of Punks Jump Up with former releases on Kitsune. Earl Grey is the solo project of Danny Ashenden, who is otherwise known as one half of The C90s or one half of Say Yes to Another Excess (with Daniel Avery).

He has been releasing records on labels from friends such as Monaberry, Sunset Handjob and Hommage. In his hometown Halle / Saale he keeps a residency at Charles Bronson. The demo he sent to us was totally right for our new little sublabel Exploited Ghetto.
Expect juicy soulful, spacy and dubby tech-house with just the right amount of bounce you probably produce when you have a hip hop background. Voila!

‘First we became aware of Jackin at the Muzic Box.’

‘When people came to the Muzic Box they specifically came there for one reason: to get their jack on. They came there to sweat and to listen to music.’ A tribute to the beginning of Chicago Deep House with a modern twist put into an EP of 3 tracks - a slice of electro-funk, feel good house and warehouse breaks. A homage to the infamous nightclub ’ The Muzic Box’ (former name ’ Warehouse’) from Chicago where Jackin’ was developed with a smile on your face. 

Click Click has been one of Berlin’s best kept underground DJs. We have been enjoying his DJ-sets so much it was natural we asked for a release. When he dropped ’The Muzic Box’  for the first time, Shir Khan immediately wanted to sign the track and there we go!

The last 2 years saw him releasing records on Green Velvet’s/Cajmere’s Cajual Records, San Franciscos OM Records or his own label Kassette Records (which he co-runs with M_Ferri). With upcoming tracks on Steve Lawlers VIVa MUSiC plus regular DJ Gigs at Berlin’s Watergate and Stattbad Wedding or Sao Paulos D.Edge, the future is looking bright for this very talented producer. 

Lets Jack. Say it loud.

Click Click - Itz a House Thing (Original Mix) | Exploited Ghetto

Early support by Solomun / AME / Breach / Steve Lawler / Claude Von Stroke / Adriatique / Gardens Of God / Noir / Adana Twins / Doctor Dru / Kyodai / Sasha / Greg Pidcock / Wildkats / Laidback Luke / Kaiserdisco / Sonny Fodera / Arthur Baker / Brothers Vibe

SevenDoors is a new producer from the UK. When we heard his first demo tracks we directly signed them. VOID has been working in our sets like magic. FORGET YOU is an updated rework of VI by MUSUMECI (with friendly permission from the artist) which has become a secret weapon for Solomun. Both tracks were world premiered by Pete Tong at BBC Radio 1. With an upcoming record on Diynamic, a remix for Pete Tongs label FFRR and plenty of stuff in the pipeline you will surely hear much more from SevenDoors in the future.
'Introspective, brooding yet bristling with possibility , ‘Void’ leads you into a dreamscape with a four note melody that ripples and cascades like a waterfall over large. ‘Forget You’ is a steroid pumped, arpeggiated excursion with sheared metal incidentals and a hi-nrg disco pulse. It’s an upstanding, hands
raising, stellar end of the night track. Exemplary work.' (DMC World Magazine)

The honour of the first release on Exploited Ghetto was earned by our Italian friend Mennie. Having earned praise for his collaborative work with Bambook, his debut solo release for Exploited Ghetto featured a tune with airy synths, a layered, catchy percussive groove and mellow early hour vibes.
Today he returns with a brand new brace of tracks, and having spent many nights working his MPC and JX to the max, he has created the awesome 'H.A.P.P.Y. EP'. So press play and enjoy the smiles for miles...

Jey Kurmis is a Leeds based producer who has been djing all over the UK for almost ten years and producing for around 7 years. From his first ever release on Phobic Records to his more recent offerings for Hot Creations, Jey has been honing his craft with his music being championed by some of the biggest names in the game.

His first Hot Creations release entitled, Lil Nic French EP dropped on Hot Creations in July 2014. A four pronged attack of bumping summer jams flecked with infectious vocals - lead track Lil Nic French first appeared on Richy Ahmeds massive Rinse FM compilation and rightly sets the tone with its heavy bass beat and mind bending acid line. With the chunky, percussive LA Shazz, the tight kicks and cowbell of the groovy Lover and the freaky groover Miss Raadi the EP made a statement of intent that shows no sign of waning.

With his arsenal of originals and a steady release schedule on some top labels as well as an ever-busier gig schedule which includes the infamous, Paradise@ DC10 in Ibiza 2015 is set to see the rise of Jey Kurmis and truly mark him out as one to watch.
For Exploited Ghetto Jey Kurmis delivered 3 minimal tech-house bombs in his typical ultra-dope trademark sound.

THUMP: 'Back in 2007, the born and bred Berliner Shir Khan began Exploited, a hybrid record label boasting an impressive roster of artists, and a heavy, deep house sound. Eight years later, Exploited is a staple in the music libraries of underground house fans worldwide. It's an exciting time for the creatives behind the brand, as their name has expanded to include Exploited Ghetto, a sub-label that promises the same bouncy club tunes the project was initially founded on.’ 

DEEPHOUSE AMSTERDAM: 'The German house label Exploited, which is known for great releases and great parties alike, has announced the release of a new sublabel, according to Mixmag. Exploited, the magnificent label from Berlin, can surely be called one of the leading labels of contemporary house music. With a string of excellent releases during the past few years, the label is now branching out into Exploited Ghetto. The new sublabel will focus on bringing new acts into the scene. Much of what the label does will be focused on one-off releases, from people yet not in the Exploited roster.' 

FAZE MAG: 'Exploited avancierte über die Jahre zu einer der ersten Adressen im Bereich zeitgenössischer House Musik und diente Künstlern wie Adana Twins, Claptone oder Doctor Dru als Sprungbrett zu einer steilen, internationalen Karriere. Aber auch Shir Khan selbst profitierte vom Hype um sein Label und wurde so im Zuge dessen zu einem global gefragten DJ. Wenn es um deutsche Houselabels geht, ist Exploited schon lange kein Geheimtip mehr. Mittlerweile hat sich das Berliner Imprint zu einer stetigen Erscheinung in Charts und Plattenkoffern avanciert. Nun steht mit Exploited Ghetto ein Sublabel an.'
