o some wide-ranging and innovative electronic talent - including Adana Twins, Claptone, Joyce Muniz, Budakid, 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)

Exploited Club warmly welcome in .voyage who step up to the plate and do as they do best: casting out a wide musical net, gathering in influences from Breaks, House, Disco, Balearic and Funk whilst pulling in a hefty dose of fun, flair and ecstasy to boot 👉 https://ffm.to/cuantocuesta

‘Cuánto Cuesta’ is a simmering pot of pure joy. A bubbling bass line has the track on a low boil throughout while luscious, buoyant synths intimately jostle alongside bold but allaying piano chords. Classic breaks snap in the back while a gently acidic lead flexes in and out of focus and the resultant groove sends out a clear and cosy invitation to get loose.

A regular on Johannes Albert’s Frank Music’s label and Tensnake’s True Romance, chips in with his ‘No Tengo Dinero’ remix - a fortified revision that packs an extra punch with a layered snare, cow bells and an open hat that seasons the groove with a little bite and snap.

Rolling snare fills punctuate the track as Claus creates ramps for sections that showcase his indisputable chops on the keys. The passion and heat of the orignal remains intact as progress tumbles towards a long, spine-tingling breakdown that pops wide open in a manner that will send the floor absolutely nuts.

returns to Exploited, continuing her efflorescence with ‘Time Comes’: a beautiful and joyous ascent that frames an ecstatic state of being.🦋👐 OUT NOW 👉 https://ffm.to/timecomes

Straight from the get go the track exudes a psychedelic warmth as a humid, swirling pad maps out goosebumps along the listeners spine and delayed vocal blobs flicker and gently fizz. Unapologetic piano chords burst in and gallop in lockstep with a chugging Italo bass line as the mood continues to rush.

Palms grow moist and pupils widen as snare fills punctuate progress and eventually a bittersweet vocal pours in carrying the raw emotion of the final moments of a long, transportive rave. This is powerful, confident dance music from an artist well versed in capturing memorable moments - not to be missed!

REST IN POWER .x.mx 🙏🩶 Shocked and sad.

‘I first met Alphonse/Ali X in 2015, when his Canadian band Azari & III were the coolest and most hyped electronic act around. We bumped into each other on the dancefloor at Panorama Bar and connected instantly. If anyone brought the spirit of early-90s Chicago house back into the clubs, it was Azari & III.

Tracks like “Hungry For The Power,” “Reckless (With Your Love),” and “Manic” are now timeless classics. Honestly, “Reckless” and “Hungry” remain in my Top 10 club records of all time. During that era, I often crossed paths with Alphonse at Berlin clubs. I also had the chance to interview Azari & III for my Radio Fritz show — not easy with their tight management, but we got it done.

When Azari & III split and Ali X moved from Toronto to Mexico, we lost touch for a while. Years later, I felt honored when he suddenly reached out, sending me demos. He was part of the .mx Crew alongside in Mexico — a home for genre-bending artists. Ali X was constantly reinventing himself, blending styles in fearless ways: house, electro, techno, hip hop, g-funk, ghettotech, indie dance… even rapping under his alter ego Phonzi. Raw, authentic, unpolished and funny — just like him.

Eventually I signed “Mi Dios Mi Amor” featuring the Mexican artist Mafara . To me it sounded like a Mexican take on ghettotech — bold, fresh, and impossible to pin down.

One of the realest in this game has left us.
Thank you, Ali X, for your nonconformity, your spirit, and your music. You are deeply missed. Your spirit and sound will live on forever.’

🖤

OUT NOW DO THE DISCO feat. 🪩💃🏿🕺 Across a string of well received records on Seth Troxler’s Play It Say It, 20/20 Vision and Moan Recordings, The Mekanism has honed a refreshingly uninhibited sound - one that pops with joyful expression and works to serve the sort of free-flowing parties he regularly plays across the US and Mexico.

Here, he delivers his trademark sound with ‘Do The Disco’ - a rapturous cut that features percussion from Grammy Award-winning percussionist Jorge Bezerra and an alt sax replaying of ‘Do It At The Disco’ by Gary’s Gang by Tom Barford with a gracious nod from Nervous and Uni Disc.

The taught skins of Bezerra’s drums rattle out of the blocks and get things off to an electrifying start. Pattered into dexterous of polyrhythms, they carry that certain energy that drives a marrow-deep motivation to move while a straight 4/4 kick maintains a solid boom throughout.

Jorge Bezerra is a Grammy Award-winning Musician and Percussionist who has worked alongside many great artists throughout his career, notably on Ludovic Navarre’s St Germain project, on stage with the wonderful Melody Gardot and as an integral member of the Joe Zawinul Syndicate that allowed him to share the stage with other greats, such as Herbie Hancock, Bebel Gilberto, Hitonari Tsuji, Cheick Tidiane and Bobby McFerrin.

Barford’s sax is steadily filtered in while a bossy bass line walks up and down and the mood begins to bubble. Drums, sax and bass take turns to grab centre stage and the resultant vibe is feverish, balmy and jammed full of fun. Release is OUT NOW. Check our LINKTREE 🌴

strut in alongside Italian who follow up releases on Permanent Vacation and Ostgut Ton. Now LITTLE H***Y MESS comes backed up by 2 club-ready remixes from and .dj 🔥🪩 OUT NOW 👉 https://ffm.to/hornymessremixes
Berlin’s Dompe offers up a hazy and hypnotic take on the original that grows into a stomping groove built from tight, truncated loops and a thick, bolstered low-end. Long, swooning breakdowns form misty stop-gaps that slap back with reliable power making it a perfect warm up tune for DJs looking to stack tension in those excitable early hours.

Parla rounds off the package with a neat, functional Disco edit propelled by a ripe, muscular kick. The fun and vibrancy of the original is certainly upheld but just distilled a tad as filters and delays have the melodies swirling just out of focus allowing the drums to drive the track. Another fervent breakdown stretches out before a full-force drop lands it right in the sweaty centre of a brimful floor. OUT NOW. 👉 https://ffm.to/hornymessremixes

IF YOU ARE H***Y 🥵 YOU NEED THIS. ‘Little H***y Mess’ OUT NOW 👉 https://ffm.to/littlehorny
strut in alongside Italian duo who follow up releases on Permanent Vacation and Tripalium. Together, the trio form a formidable group and work together to present a slice of unbridled joy.
‘Little H***y Mess’ immediately depicts a pastel-tinged vision of Miami in its hedonistic hay-day; a time rich with opportunity and free of consequence. Disco drums kick in all the right places while rich filters glide, breathing a vibrant, colourful air into vocals and guitar lines. Sassy flashes of brass drop in with hubris, punctuating the trip toward a heated breakdown that pops in a humid flurry of pure pop bliss. There is also a club mix which speeds up the tempo and strips things down a bit.
