iTunes - Pre Order - bit.ly/YouKnowTheBeat

'Belgian producer Mickey makes music that's just like his country's chocolate: sweet, smooth and oh-so-enticing. Last year's Exploited releases 'LA Anyway' and 'Holding Hands', especially the latter, are exactly that, not forgetting the stunning 'Sweet Baby' and remixes of Sébastien Tellier and Claptone.
Another Exploited release, 'You Know The Beat', is coming this month and it's a lively, juicy fruit slab of bumpin' house. This guy's roll ain't ending any time soon by the sound of things.' (Mixmag)

'This irresistable piece of funked up house music comes from one of our favourite artists, Mickey. Always delivering freshness, Exploited team up with him again for another unbeatable release. We love this track and will be playing it all year, ideal for brightening up a dreary winter’s day!' WORD UP.' (Deephouse London)

'The general trend in house music as of late has been a bit on the dark side but it doesn’t mean that the best music has been in that territory. Top pick of the week is by the Belgian producer simply known as Mickey who is back on Exploited with this disco-funk jam called “You Know The Beat”.' (Magnetic Magazine)

Featured on upcoming DJMag Selection 01 Compilation + early support by BBC Radio1/Danny Howard, dOP, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Martin Landsky, Laurent Garnier, Tensnake, Riva Starr, ZDS, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, DJ T, Sasha, Bag Raiders, Wildkats, Kasper Bjoerke, Waifs & Strays, Noir, Mia Dora, Laidback Luke, Sonny Fodera, James Curd, Moodymanc, Pezzner, Kyodai, Nils Nuernberg, Crackazat, Brett Johnson, Compuphonic, James Curd, PJU, Jamie Anderson, Sinden, Phonique, Khan, Smash TV.

Mickey starts the New Year with another great anthem. 'You Know The Beat' is a mixup of 90ies French House, combined with a classic old school American House Vibe and Groove. Think Cassius meets Todd Terry.

We saw Mickey, as a newcomer, growing on the label Exploited. His releases 'Sweet Baby', 'Holding Hands' and 'Walk Away' are topping our label's bestsellers of the year 2014. His track 'Sweet Baby' was among the Top 10 best selling tracks at Beatport in the genre Deephouse. Next to his Belgian residency at the infamous 'Libertine Supersport' nights, he travels all over the world to rock the crowd with his energetic DJ sets.

He just finished a remix for Australian 'Modular Label‘ stars 'Bag Raiders' and is currently in London working on his next single.

Six months after their last installment, Shir Khan and Exploited drop another hot to trot collection of disco edits. As usual, there's much to excite, beginning with the familiar guitar solos, Rhodes keys and dub disco pulse of Antilope's "Singing Ghost" rework. Death On The Balcony keep up the reverb and delay-laden dub disco theme on "Addict For Your Love", whose rubbery groove, twinkling pianos and heady vocals have been expertly rearranged to fit house dancefloors. Finally, Matpat go loop crazy on the thumping disco house cut "Only You" which sits somewhere between Rahaan and Soundstream. Excellent stuff all round.

Premiered on Majestic Casual Youtube Channel with over 200 000 Plays in 1 week.

With over 7 million plays and counting on YouTube Compuphonic's 2011 collaboration with Marques Toliver, 'Sunset' raised the bar pretty high. Since then Maxime has gone on to produce remixes for the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Gotye even and fellow Belgians The Subs (winning a Red Bull award in the process) and release two acclaimed EPs on Berlin label Exploited.

Now finally Maxime and Marques have reunited for a new EP on Exploited, 'Magical Shoes', and the results are everything we could have hoped for.

Having delivered two huge club hits in 2014 with ’Radio Atlantis’ and ’O Cypres’, Belgian star Compuphonic returns this February with his third EP for Exploited, ‘Magical Shoes’. 2 tracks of sublime House music, the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP sees Compuphonic finally reunited with the Beyoncé approved American singer Marques Toliver, whose vocals previously graced Maxime’s 2012 breakout hit ’Sunset’.

Once again this Transatlantic pairing have struck gold as Compuphonic’s distinctive brand of deeply emotional, nuanced, House Music provides the perfect setting for Marques’ plaintive vocals. With it’s distinctive Korg M1 organ and shuffling beats ‘Magical Shoes’ instantly brings to mind legendary ‘90s New York clubs like The Sound Factory but thanks to Compuphonic’s production skills it goes well beyond that of simple period pastiche and sounds utterly fresh for 2015, a bonafide club hit that is already peppering the sets of DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Tensnake and The Magician.

As the title suggests the EP’s 2nd track ‘The Sun Does Rise’ is the natural successor to the duo’s previous outing. As deep as the Pacific Ocean this is a trance inducing hymn to hope, music designed to elevate the soul as much as move the body and bring some much needed warmth back to clubland. Expect to hear this played everywhere and anywhere this year where the party goes through the night and the first morning light breaks over the dancefloor.

Recorded in the famous Vantage Point Studios in Antwerp - dEUS’s own recording studio, a special, inspiring moment for Maxime, a lifelong fan of the band - the ‘Magical Shoes’ EP cements his position as one of Europe’s most talented producers and with remixes to come soon on Carl Craig’s Planet E and more original material on Exploited, the future is looking bright for Compuphonic.

Adana Twins - Bleeding (feat. Human Life)

Early support by Loco Dice, Tiga, Boys Noize, Erol Alkan, Audiojack, XXXY, dOP, Ossie, Miguel Campbell, Danny Howard/BBC Radio1, Kiki...

UK-based Australian Light Year’s last record ’Never Know’ on Exploited had ’strains of chill wave and witch house, with looped, distant vocal snippets and a breezy vibe. Since his release on Spectral Sound the former electro house producer was saying hello to L.I.E.S, Trilogy Tapes and more straightforward house and techno.’ (Resident Advisor) 
While his first releases were leaning on the more melodic side ’Feeling This Way’ (his follow-up on Exploited) is more functional and stripped down just to the bare essentials - a drum track and a vocal snippet - pretty much influenced by some of the Ghetto House records he was listening to when he did this track. ’Slow Burn’ on the other hand is a collaboration with Jas Shaw from Simian Mobile Disco. Jas had just sourced some new pieces of kit for the SMD live album concept they were working on. They used a Cirklin sequencer - one of the most intuitive analogue sequencers you could probably use. The track pretty much wrote itself once they sequenced their modular synthesizer. The final version was created, produced and mixed in that one session. We hope you enjoy these 2 infectious tracks as much as we do.

Light Year - Feeling This Way | Exploited

Soul Clap: "James Curd does it again!"
Munk: "Is JS the Frank Zappa of house? I hear them all: B52s, James Chance, Boney M, Todd Terje, Masters At Work. Great Full Pop."

In the last 2 and a half years James Curd has become a regular contributor to the label Exploited. He has released outstanding original material as well as collaborations with Morgan Phalen (their project is called Favored Nations and Morgan also wrote and sang on two singles for the Justice album 'Audio, Video, Disco'), Luke Million (from The Swiss), JDub (from Chicago) and Fred Everything (their project is called Jimmy & Fred which already had a massive dance chart topper with Diynamic act Karmon on the remix for "I See Lights" and one from Locked Groove of Life&Death, Hotflush, and Permanent Vacation fame). Now he is back on Exploited with 5 (thats already a mini-album) new tracks featuring incredible talent such as the sax player Jonty Hall or rapper Jdub. James Curd in his own words about the 5 songs:

1. James Curd - Forever My Friend
"After spending a couple months scoring a feature film I wanted to blow off some steam and make something I would like to play in a club. I love throwing curve balls into songs and try to imagine what a crowded club will do when a 16 bar rhodes solo comes out of nowhere. It's my version of a build up and drop with out the soft synths."

2. James Curd - Jack Be Nimble
"I made this song during a late night studio session right after a night out. It's a homage to my hometown classic Chicago house tracks of JACK. It's an inebriated lyrical session that captures how much fun I was having in the studio that night."

3. James Curd - Tornado In The Basement feat. JDub
"This was written in my old Chicago basement studio with JDub. All the kids in my neighbourhood were around the same age and growing up together. They all graduated from riding bikes and playing in the fire hydrant to an all out EGG war. Every house on my street was getting hit with eggs! Tornado In The Basement is a product of trying to record vocals inbetween the loud bangs of eggs hitting the front windows of my building."

4. James Curd - Everybody Knows feat. Jonty Hall
"This song is a culmanation of a few ideas that where not working as individual songs but came together great as a mosaic piece of music. I chopped up all my favorite parts from a few songs and combined them to create "Everybody Knows". A great horn player from Australias capital city Canberra was in town visiting and he dropped by and did a few takes for me to finish off the song."

5. James Curd - Caught Again feat. JDub
"This is inspired by old French funk songs from the 70's. I wanted a mix of funk with light and dark elements. The bass is funk, the guitar and synths are light and JDub's vocals are dark and a bit intimidating."

Early support by Maceo Plex, Guy Gerber, Catz N Dogz, SIS, Steve Lawler, Erol Alkan, Laurent Garnier, Booka Shade, Agoria, Huxley, Laura Jones, Jozif, Lil´ Tony, Patrice Baumel, dOP, Patlac, Pezzner, Ralf Kollmann and more.

Kiki, the Finnish architect-turned-dance music producer is no stranger to most of us. With an impressive discography and a smartly composed sound, the BPitch Control long stay made his Exploited debut last year - a collaboration EP with producer Joyce Muniz. Now Kiki is back with a solo single on Exploited and we are more than excited.

June 2014: Kiki at Sonar in Barcelona at a Rooftop Party. Suddenly the world seems to stand still.
People stop dancing, open their mouths and point at the uprising Supermoon.
It is blood red and looks much more like the planet Mars than a moon. A magic moment!

Shortly after this incident, Kiki travels back to Berlin - still impressed by the images in his mind - and writes within minutes the melody for his new track he dedicates to the Supermoon.

Not long after this, Kiki gets to Sabaudia in Italy, near Rome, and tests his finished track for the first time on a beach party during Full Moon.

Back in 2015 - Exploited proudly presents you Kiki’s Supermoon - which comes in 2 versions. It’s a kind of magic!

First Feedback:

Maceo Plex: Thanks for the music! 
SIS: Top!
CatznDogz: KIKI is always good. Will play both.
Laurent Garnier: Nice deepness - will play for sure.

Huxley: Wicked!!

Jozif: YES PLEASE!!!!!! Supermoon Orig is lushenss!!!
Lil´ Tony (Innervisions): Hitting hard!
Patrice Baumel: I really love Supermoon, it's a very catchy repetitive synth hook that stays with you long after the track is finished - timeless. I feel that the track would have been even more elegant without the bass synth counter motive, maybe an idea for a future remix. 
I'll definitely play this. Thank you very much for sending it to me and congrats for a job well done!
Robbie Akbal: Great stuuf man.. for sure will play both mixes, especially feeling a lot the Revisted!
Ricoshëi (Pampa Records): On my way to Miami right now, and will make sure to support! We're playing at the Luciano & Friends and All Gone Pete Tong parties Wed & Thu daytime.

Supermoon

Kiki - Supermoon | Exploited

Essential New Tune for Pete Tong at BBC Radio 1.
Claptone steps out of the shadows once again with ‘The Music Got Me’, an exciting new offering from the mysterious enigma with the golden mask. 'Music Got Me' by Claptone is an authorised cover version of 'Music Got Me' by Visual which has been approved and licensed by Unidisc the rights holder.
As you would expect of new Claptone, 'The Music Got Me’ is destined for late nights and packed clubs all over, such are the enchanting powers of this otherworldly beast. However this new offering goes further still. The achingly cool 80s NYC disco/postpunk flavour combines with a distinct Chicago bassline to offer an exciting glimpse of the eclectic, indie vibe of his debut artist album.

Claptone’s last two releases ‘No Eyes’ and ‘Ghost’ both topped the Beatport charts, the latter of which featured Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! (a collaboration we can only assume was arranged by some sort of séance). They went on to become enormous smashes on Berlin house label Exploited, earning the plaudits of the biggest DJs and setting Claptone off on a non-stop DJ tour across the globe.

It’s remarkable that the masked man has still found time in his tour schedule to deliver big remixes for the likes of Metronomy, The Pet Shop Boys, Rüfüs, Klaxons and Gregory Porter (which is currently No.1 in Beatport's Deep House charts).

2015 will also see Claptone embark on a run of ‘Immortal Live’ dates, a unique A/V experience which brings together a full set of Claptone creations (MIAMI ULTRA FESTIVAL – 29/3, BRUSSELS PIAS NITES – 4/4, GERMANY MELT! FESTIVAL 17/7, LONDON SW4 FESTIVAL – 29/8).

Early likes by Erol Alkan, Tiga, Laurent Garnier, XXXY, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Steve Lawler, Agoria, Dubfire, DJ T, DMC UK Buzzcharts. 

A special delivery on Annie Mac's Friday night BBC Radio 1 show, Copy Paste Soul is back on Exploited with a new track. 

Laurent Garnier about the release: 
"I have been hammering this tune very heavily for the past couple of month. 
You should have seen the people in Paris last friday @ Peacock Festival going fucking mental for it ! This tune is awesome ..... Pure Detroit vibes to send you straight to Heaven !! 10/10"

The rise of Copy Paste Soul over the last 3 years has seen the elusive producer garner the support of the electronic music elite having been tipped by Mixmag, Pete Tong, Annie Mac and B.Traits all supporting his soul-quenching sub-heavy rave inspired sound. By incorporating his love of Detroit Techno, Drum & Bass and UK and US garage into a finely honed style, Copy Paste Soul is leading the charge with his left-of-centre broken-house sound.

Releases such as his Blink, Look At Me, People On The Street and I Wanna Be EPs on the highly respected Exploited in 2013 caused respective storms, and remixes for the likes of Laurent Garnier, Photek, Deadmau5, Kele Okereke, James Wolf, Low Steppa, Alex Barck on Sonar Kollektiv plus an appearance on Audiojacks Gruuv signal that his production nous is respected and sought after by those in the know. Last summer Copy Paste Soul launched his own imprint 2 Swords with more original material by himself plus remixes from Dubspeaka, No Artificial Colours and Man With No Shadow plus an upcoming release on Carl Cox's label Intec. 2 years later after his debut on Exploited we are happy to welcome Copy Paste Soul back on the label with a tune that just completely blew us away the first time we heard it. This track Home has written the word RAVE all over. Happy spinning.

Funky Town

Onsra - Funky Town | Exploited

This is our personal favourite of the label for this year!

Included in DMC UK Buzzcharts and Mixmag Reviews. Premiered by Big Shot Magazine & Deephouse Amsterdam. Props from Tim Sweeney (Beats in Space), Axel Boman (Pampa/Studio Barnhus), Tensnake (True Romance), dOP (Circus Company), Acid Pauli (Crosstown Rebels), Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap Records/Hercules&Love Affair)...
Functional, ethereal, hallucinogen, deep, oceanic, balearic disco house. This is how Sirens Of Lesbos' first volume of their new ESSAYS series sounds like:
Moving across the genres...
While SOL's signature material is rather song structured / radio orientated, ESSAYS displays a different, more experimental and 100% dancefloor oriented dimension of the group. Volume 1 is a shamanic silver bullet for all DJs who praise dream-like house music, electronic synthesized melodic beats & grooves and some Ibiza Sunshine.

Tim Sweeney:
"Nice one."

Axel Boman:
"Polynesian Dance at sunrise at Sunset Campout this week is the plan! The SOL release is great!!! Love it!! :)"

Tensnake:
"Quite a strong EP."

Mixmag:
"Wicked - like a mature nintendo game aimed at the dancefloor."

dOP:
"Like the happy mood of Polynesian Dance!"

Acid Pauli:
":)"

Patrick Pulsinger:
"1980s Japan!"

Friendly Fires:
"Lovely. Polynesian Dance is ecstatic."

DMC UK Worldmagazine:
"3 beautiful and unique tracks bringing smiles and grooves to the floor. Polynesian Dance looks set to be a classic for sure."

Deephouse Amsterdam:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/full-premiere-sirens-of-lesbos-7-minutes-in-tibet/
'Their new EP on Exploited will undoubtedly make its mark in this month’s release calendar. The three-tracker gets under your skin from the outset. Premiere 7 Minutes in Tibet is less of a dance-floor filler than it is a perfect after party anthem.'

Big Shot Magazine:
http://newsflash.bigshotmag.com/mp3s/stream/37095/
'This month the wildly creative posse return with Essays Volume 1, an EP tailored exclusively for the dance floor. “Together In 1980s Japan” is a dreamy disco-house affair sporting a bouncy bassline, shimmering melodies, crafty synth-driven bleeps and oh-so-angelic vocal samples.'

Exploited – Adana-twins-heroe

Just in time there are 3 remixes being delivered now. One by London Party Promoters Krankbrother, Ellums Dino Lenny and SevenDoors of Diynamic fame.
About Adana Twins:
Adana Twins have been championing Hamburg's party spirit across the globe since their formation back in 2006. The duo are made up of Friso and Take It Easy, who despite the collective name aren't related at all, but their relationship with music is what keeps them united. It was their huge releases on Exploited 'Everyday' and 'Strange' that catapulted them into the spotlight in 2012.
Since then they have loyally continued to churn out tunes on the imprint, gathering support from all across the board.
The pair’s latest offering is entitled 'Heroe' which includes remixes from SevenDoors (Diynamic/Exploited), Krankbrother (Krankbrother Records) and Dino Lenny (Ellum).

Adana Twins - Heroe (SevenDoors Remix) | Exploited

Support from Dyed Soundorom/Apollonia, Stephan Bodzin/Herzblut, Joris Voorn/Rejected, Tomas Barfod/Whomadewho, Tensnake, Agoria, SIS, Steve Lawler, Laurent Garnier, Lee Foss, Booka Shade, Riva Starr, Dubfire, Christian Martin. 

Radio Worldpremiere by Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1 last friday.  

"‘Otec’ is an epic, 80s electronica infused soundscape that owes much to Giorgio Moroder and Jean Michel Jarre. ‘Megaptera’ drives hard with sombre chords, compressed synth pads and sparkling arpeggiated keys. It’s an end of the summer sand or shadow dancer and a big room laser chaser. Special." (DMC Worldmag)

Tomas Barfod/Whomadewho: "Love the spacey feeling."
Dyed Soundorom/Appolonia: "I'll try out Megaptera."
Tensnake: "Otec is beautifull."
Joris Voorn: "Beauty!"

One of the fastest rising Producers at the moment is the elusive SevenDoors.
A passion for music is evident, carefully crafting audio with feeling and emotion. SevenDoors is very much a concept, developed over many years and now ready to be unleashed upon the dance community.
His track ’Movement Of Whale’ (out on Diynamic) was among the Top 10 Tunes at Sankeys Ibiza for this season. Solomun has been playing it the last 6 months in nearly every set of his and it was the most talked about track of his Boilerrom Set during BPM in Tulum, Mexico. SevenDoor’s music has already been playlisted by Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Danny Howard and Toddla T on BBC Radio 1 and rinsed by DJs such as Solomun, Scuba, AME, Gardens Of God and Adriatique to mention a few.
After remixes for Icarus on FFRR and Adana Twins on Exploited, he finally makes his debut on Exploited (his release ’Void’ was released a few months ago on the sublabel Exploited Ghetto). With ’Otec’ Sevendoors goes more Electronica but keeps his trademark sound leading “you into a dreamscape that ripples and cascades like a waterfall over large“ (DMC World).

Track Premiere by Thump:
http://thump.vice.com/en_ca/track/radiophobia-fear-not-radiation
https://soundcloud.com/thump/1-radiophobia-cant-stop-believing

"Defined by their unique, experimental sound rather than an excessive fear of radiation, the affliction for which they are named, Radiophobia is the latest act to join Berlin imprint Exploited Records. Inspired by a variety of genres, from minimalist techno to retro acoustic, the group will today unveil their debut release, Can't Stop Believing." (THUMP)

Radiophobia is psychedelic, meditative dance music that inspires strong feelings of dark melancholia or transcendental euphoria. Radiophobia swirl around from minimalistic techno to full on 70s indie vocals. Musical inspiration comes from a wide variety of genres and artists, from classic to contemporary sounds, from pop to experimental and from genius to downright silly.
Radiophobia adopt the definition of "Fusion" and "Synthesis". ’Can’t Stop Believing’ - Radiophobia’s debut and first record ever - blasts into an unpredictable huge vocal moment.
Radiophobia about ’Can’t Stop Believing’: “If you skipped through like a Vinyl you would think it was more of an album and not a single.“ It’s all about the extended epic version.
