Hype Label of the Month: Exploited Club

With its toothsome amalgamation of edgy disco, riveting house, wistful techno, intoxicating electro, and so much more, Exploited Club — the sister label of Shir Khan's Exploited — has carved out a niche for itself in clubland with a sound that falls under the banner of high-quality indie dance music. Since its establishment in 2015, the label has pushed out over 140 releases from an international team of artists, including Sandhog, Modular Project, Renato Cohen, Mans Glaeser, Made in TLV, Micropacer, and more. In addition, the label boasts accompanying remixes from heavyweights such as The Egyptian Lover, DJ Assault, Roland Clark, David Morales, and beyond.

"Our ethos of musical eclecticism is at the core of everything we do, remaining staunchly DIY since day one," says Shir Khan about his label venture. "Our DJs and producers are true music enthusiasts and skilled creators, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres including playful House, Italo Disco, Dark Disco, Deep House, Breakbeats, EBM, IDM, Melodic, Afro House, Electro, and the rich musical heritage of Afro-American styles such as Chicago House."

Previously based and established in Berlin, Shir Khan has moved his label operations to Bangkok, where he currently resides, and continues to steer Exploited Club's sound into fresh and compelling sonic territory. With a storied career as a talent scout, Shir Khan has made it his mission to ensure that the sound of his label's ever-growing roster continues to astound and get widespread play on dance floors across the globe.
