After 2007’s ‘Maximize!’ German DJ/Producer Shir Khan returns with a spanking new mix, ‘Exploited’. Showcasing the Exploited labels finest cuts, this heavy mix brings you exclusive tracks and remixes from the likes of Modeselektor, Bonde do Role, Crookers & Adam Sky to name a few. Shir Khan’s seamless style weaves from the mellow electro drenched hip hop of Milanese Feat. RQM’s ‘Sandman’, through to the up-tempo booty bass of Zombie Disco Squad’s ‘Vie!’ His eclectic, lively sets have seen the DJ perform to packed crowds across the globe and this compilation is sure to win over more fans.
Released on 14th September, the album also comes with an unmixed selection of some of the tracks – which is great news for anyone eager to hunt down some of the labels harder to find cuts. For a preview of the mix head here and also keep an eye on Shir Khan’s MySpace for gig info.

A lot of CD’s come through our office so sometimes albums do pass by unnoticed. However when Icelandic songstress Björk’s new Voltaic’s box set landed on our desks, it turned a lot of heads. The release of the compilation documents Björk’s recent Volta tour, which saw the singer take her elaborate stage show around the world. The beautifully designed package contains 2 CD’s and LP’s which include a recording of her live performance at Olympic Studios, remixes from the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Sinden and Modeselektor. Also included are two DVD’s documenting footage of the Volta tour and the albums music videos.
While much has been said about downloads killing off music in a physical format, collections like this prove there is still a need to release music as a product. While mp3′s do have their attractions, they’ll never be able to present music in this way.
