EXPJM 001CD
|
Brazilian-born, Austria-based artist Joyce Muniz combines the sounds and rhythms of her home country with contemporary European electronic sounds. Her full-length debut album Made In Vienna, on Shir Khan's Exploited, showcases the latest evolution of her sound, moving from the dancefloor into a space somewhere between the club and the home, aided by a slew of perfectly crafted vocals. "This album took almost two years to make," she reveals, "I met a lot of people during my tours. I also brought a lot of people to Vienna to work with me." Her symbiotic relationship with the Austrian capital sees her put in as much as she takes out of it. She is part of the fabric of the city's musical scene, from her show on national radio station FM4 to her residency at the sadly deceased Pratersauna. With a long gestation period and a cast of collaborators picked up through her journeys across the world, Made In Vienna is a record that embodies Muniz's recent life and experiences. "It's hard to say what this album is," she elaborates on the record's identity, "I can imagine people dancing to it in the club but also in the car, or hearing it on the radio or at home. I think it really depends of the mood of the listeners." Kat Vinter's honeyed vocal on "Cover Me Up" gets the album going in fine style, countered by male singer Knixx's soulful delivery on "Drop In Pressure" as a follow-up. "Simple Poetry" shows she doesn't rely on vocals to make a captivating track, however, with lush chords pulsing over a succinct arrangement. "Wake Beside You" shows her prowess in the b-line department with Christa Vi's higher registers providing the perfect counterbalance to the phat bottom end. "Hide" with Enequist takes her musicality to new heights with gliding harmonies and xylophones and Human Life collaboration "Deeper" takes the melodies into a moodier place. "Gotta Love It" is one of her typically guttural, low-slung club workouts. "Daydreaming" provides a gently pumping and euphoric groove. After this comes Angelique Bianca's sultry tones on the techy Wehbba co-production "Sleepless", and her Kraftwerk-sampling single "Back In The Days" with Jungle Brothers legend Bam's inimitable hip-house stylings showing what a diverse range of sounds and songs Muniz is able to eke out of the house/techno template. Closer, "Silent Crime", presents the album's most delicate and fragile moment. Includes download card.

From the consistent quality of its prolific output to its early championing of many a dance music star to its diverse array of sounds, it has felt like a highly accomplished offering even since its earliest days, Shir Khan's Exploited Recordings has come a long way since its humble beginnings in Berlin. Dancing & Romancing is a snapshot of the imprint from 2011 to 2016, charting its story from contender to heavyweight in stunning fashion. From breaking Claptone as an unknown artist to helping him become one of the biggest-selling names in dance music to introducing the world to other major players like Adana Twins, Doctor Dru and Joyce Muniz, he has unearthed a staggering amount of talent in such a short space of time. Browse through the label's 150+ releases and there is an impressive plethora of acclaimed names from across the house, techno and disco sphere: Metronomy, Modeselektor, Siriusmo, Munk, Julio Bashmore, Michael Mayer, Fort Romeau, John Tejada, Cosmin TRG, Locked Groove, Deetron, Acid Pauli - the list goes on and on. Dancing & Romancing showcases some of the label's high points from the last half decade, attempting to provide a summary of what Exploited is all about. From resolute club bangers to tracks that sound as good on a home stereo as they do on the dancefloor, it's a compilation that reminds us that dance music is bigger and further-reaching than it's ever been. Big vocal anthems like Claptone's "No Eyes (feat. Jaw)" and Murphy Jax's "Let's Get To It (feat. Mike Dunn)" sit alongside charismatic instrumentals such as dreamy Cocolores's "Vox" and Urulu's rolling "1991". Sample-heavy classics like Adana Twins's "Strange" and Doctor Dru's "Voice Of Dru" contrast with the cutting-edge freshness of Light Year's "Never Know" and Sirens Of Lesbos's "7 Years In Tibet". The excellent vocalists that have graced the label are represented too, from Anabel Englund's seductive tones alongside Human Life on "El Diablo" to Daudi Matsiko's haunting delivery with Kyodai on "Houston In The Blind". From nu disco to acid to melodic techno to fist-pumping house, the breadth of the label's output is neatly encapsulated in these 30 enduring tracks. Released as a double CD box. Also features: Compuphonic, Moodymanc, Homework, Audiojack, Munk, Dino Lenny, James Curd, Annabel Weston, Joyce Muniz, Bam, Kruse & Nuernberg, Brolin, Human Life, Jimmy & Fred, Karmon, Homework, Nils Penner and Marques Toliver.

Minimow is Italian producer Mowgli aka Michele Savasta. His 10-year career has seen his music blossom, from hip-hop, through drum & bass and into house. "Bollyhouse" is for fans of quirky, Ananda-esque house featuring a vocal sample, tabla and bayan drums, a sitar melody and Indian flute. "Keep Groovin'" uses jazz trumpet in the breaks, a heavy bass line, piano stabs, wire-snare-hi-hats and bongos. SIS remixes, laying heavily on the flute, dubbing the bass, and dropping some serious xylophone work.

Legendary producer Adam Sky releases The Imperious Urge -- a collaboration with South African-born singer Danny Williams, whose rendition of the film theme "Moon River" remains an evergreen classic. The Skinpop Version is a spaced-out cosmic trip with hypnotic synths, "Billie Jean"-like drums, bongos, a mad bass, and Williams' magical voice, JBAG brings a banging electro-house version, Tomski&Fredboy provide a percussive, stripped-down cool groove in a mix of techno and jazz, and finally, Kubo provides a futuristic, voodoo-esque remix.

Düsseldorf's Lorenz Rhode has evolved his music into a custom blend of influences over the years. Think one part electro-funk, one part '80s synthesizer megalomania, one part old school house, soul, occasional Krautrock or J-pop, and a certain weirdness. Or, Rick James dating Chaka Khan, dancing to Daft Punk and Technotronic, making sweet love to a Stevie Wonder ballad, when suddenly a group of German robots and Yellow Magic Orchestra bust in. Including a remix from Minimow (aka Mowgli) and Solo.

Damp cellars, abandoned warehouses, strobe lights and sweat is what comes to mind when listening to the debut release by Malente & Dex on Exploited.

Malente & Dex channel their love of music into a mixture of rough, state-of-the-art beats and a healthy dose of old school power. On remix duties, we have Riva Starr with London's grime MCs Jammer & Frisco, Bobmo and Bird Peterson.

RQM presents "Miss Pacman," a monster club track that comes in 5 different booty-tingling versions. The original is a radio-friendly banger with a mild twist of pop and Eva Be's breathy chorus. Oliver $ makes it prime-time with his tight, sweaty click-house edit. The DJ Chernobyl remix adds a baile funk sense of humor and Act Yo Age serves you a nice, old school hip-house groove. Design by Marek Polewski from Floor 5 -- recycling famous old record covers.
