Review: The second installment of the Wet Floor series sees Boysnoize unearth more killer dance floor tracks from the vaults. SCNTST delivers a uniquely modern take on Chicago ghetto tracks in the shape of "Da Bizzy Jump" while on the Strip Steve and Das Glow remix of Bobmo's "Hardbells", a noisy, jacking sound prevails. Wet Floor Vol 2 also focuses on Boysnoize's well-documented love of electro, with Jensen Interceptor dropping the acid-led "Sexting", while on a deeper tact, there's the resonating bass and robotic vocals of Djedjotronic's "Drum Program". With Escor Krist dropping the wild hardcore stabs of "999", it sounds like this compilation has every underground style covered.

Review: Yup, a new 50 Weapons killer and it's a remix EP. Bliss. Two Moderat and Siriusmo cuts receive a fine re-jigging by a fine producer by the name of Anstam. Have we mentioned that his stuff is always amazing? Well, you know now and judging by his remix of "Gita" - slow-paced, pale-eyed machine funk with cheeky low-ends and shifting percussion - it's probably one of his most daring pieces yet. "Stinky Wig" receives a more severe head-shake, where Anstam transforms the original into a break-laden, off-kilter kinda thang - miss at your own peril!

Review: Ten years of tech house powerhouse Exploited's exploits - pardon the pun! A born and bred Berliner, Shir Khan started the label in his home city in 2007. The imprint now plays host to a who's who in the current tech-house climate - including Adana Twins, Doctor Dru, Claptone, Joyce Muniz, Urulu and Cocolores to name a few. Its artists have been receiving full support from tastemakers such as Pete Tong, Soul Clap, Wolf & Lamb and Kraak & Smaak. All the usual suspects appear here: many golden oldies and even some newbie surprises too - perfect for the Christmas season and to forecast trends moving forward into 2018. To prove their relevance, they've served up a whopper of a compilation: over five dozen tracks showcasing their illustrious discography. We are certain that these are timeless grooves and will prove to be just as relevant another decade.

Some of these go as far back as 2009! Take for instance Malente & Dex feat. Analogik's "Gipsy Kings" which homed in that whole loopy latin house trend - popularised by similar tunes like "We No Speak Americano". Swedish electro house dons Zoo Brazil appear as well, with their 2012 dancefloor hit "Rock The House", then get deep and slinky with Moodymanc's 2013 sleeper hit "Joy" (Ralph Lawson Dub). They were even doing jazzy/dusty deep house as far back as 2011, like on Homework's "Whipped Cream". Remember Serge Santiago's remix of Murphy Jax's "Let's Get To It" featuring the inimitable Mike Dunn? It's here!

But when best describing the label's success thus far, we'd have to give honorable mentions to the true staples of the label. The legendary Chicagoan James Curd (formerly one half of the Greenskeepers) has kept on going from his new home of Adelaide, Australia and served up some of his best work in years. The emotive and bittersweet "Forever My Friend" is just one example. Likewise, Belgium's Compuphonic appears several times also - his recent hit from earlier this year "Metropolis" appears in all its soulful and evocative glory. Here's to another 10 guys, cheers!
