Quotes on SHIR KHAN – EXPLOITED-CD:
“Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable, mashed up DJ set on CD – until now. Shir Khan’s mix bottles the zeitgeist’s giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance.” (DJ-Mag)

“With tracks by Adam Sky, Siriusmo and a whole host of other genius artists, into the Exploited melting pot go snake charmers and African tribesmen along with a strong dose of all things electro. Deliciously disjointed, this album proceeds to confuse and amaze, seamlessly cycling through jazz saxophones and bangra, never stopping the addictive beats and basslines. Get ready to feel used to enjoy exploitation.” (Clash)

“Electro, eastern beats and quirky grooves both mixed and DJ-friendly. In fact, it’s the only thing you need to bring to your next BBQ Dj gig, even if it’s only really your turn to bring the charcoal. Sizzling!” (Mixmag)

“Engaging, riveting and diverse – it’s a compilation Shir Khan can definetly be proud of.” (Datatransmission)

“Shir Khan must be applauded, for both his ear, his vision and dexterity.” (Altsounds)

“Designed to be a microcosm of a night out.” (4or the Record)

“EXPLOITED is constantly mutating, reverberating with a thousand ideas per minute. You will hear: dense, fast-flowing electro-tinged hiphop, distorted, overdriven P-Funk-esque basslines, spaced-out spangly synths, what sounds like a ravey ‘Air on a G String’ and a funked-up take on Soho’s late 80s pop hit ‘Hippychick’. Not to mention lascivious sluttery meets Thai wailing, minimal, old-skool ravey techno, Mr Skruff-style trouser jazz, gruff ragga chat, wobbly monster basslines, tabla-and-flute excursions. Wildly eclectic and joyously funky, it will reassure you that, thank God, not everything’s gone Pete Tong.” (Bearded Magazine)

“Es ist doch beruhigend, dass es auch von Berlin aus möglich scheint, im internationalen Urban-Freestyle-Alarm eine der lauteren Sirenen zu werden.” (De-bug)
