Shir Khan hosts a new weekly radioshow at FRITZ

Excuse me for not having posted that much in the past. But I have been constantly travelling. I was touring Australia, Brazil (support for LCD Soundsystem), Canada (support for Mstrkft), England, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine. It has been a good year for me. IDJ reviewed my Mix-Cd SHIR KHAN - MAXIMIZE! as one of their "finest compilations of the year". My remix for Bonde do Role on Domino got amazing airplay and I already saw it in some TOP10 for one of the best remixes for 2007 (Timeout/Tel Aviv). My label EXPLOITED had a good start with artists Surkin, Adam Sky and Siriusmo. Sinden featured the Crookers Remix for Adam Sky as one of the essential club tunes for 2007 in Factmagazine. Diplo also got crazy for it as Gorky told me. Angie Reed made a nice 3D-Comicvideo for this which I am going to post here very soon. Last, but not least, in 2008 I start a weekly radioshow at Fritz. Dont miss it and make sure you tune in. I will probably post playlists and some of the mixes featured on the show here. More info on: www.fritz.de

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

FRIENDLY FIRES - PARIS (mp3)

Finally, the new single by Friendly Fires from Nottnigham this time on moshi moshi records. The song is one more reason for me to think they are one of the most promising new bands from UK. A real berlinbattery favorite band for some time now. This is spacey disco pop at it's best, with a lot of extatic percussion, a big hook and you can dance to it... You HAVE to get their two other 10 Inches, if you're not stupid!

RUMBLE STRIPS LIVE @ NASTI CLUB MADRID (7th ANNIVERSARY)

Watch two songs from one of my favorite bands from 2007 THE RUMBLE STRIPS playing a special show in Madrid's infamous NASTI CLUB for their 7th anniversary. If you know the Nasti Possee you can recognize a lot of freaks in the audience... Honestly, if you've ever been to Nasti club you will understand, that i am extremly happy, that everybody there is still alive and survived 7 years of utter madness! Party on! Get that Nasti shit! Thanks to Pablo, Chema and Carla (and all you others...) for some of my most remembered dj-nights...

BERLIN BATTERY PRES.: THOMAS BANGALTER, PEACHES & TONE LOC - WILD SCRATCH (A JACK TENNIS MASH UP)

This is a clash of the titans! Peaches and Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" raps over Thomas Bangalters (Daft Punk) "Spinal Scratch", back in the days on Roule records. Thanks Supermarkt for finding this track in your record collection! Listen to this mash up and of course to Tone Loc and Peaches new "Wild Thing" on Delicious Vinyl.

THE HEAVY - THAT KIND OF MAN (LIVE IN BERLIN 5.12)

Enjoy this amazing live performance by -The Heavy- this week in a tiny club in Berlin. They were allready featured in the -Butterfly Collector Mix- by Supermarkt with -Coleen-. Easily the concert of the year, well for this week.

J&K: EGYPTOMANIACS

Exhibition @ Gallery Sparwasser HQ Berlin (until dec. 15th).
Just passed by this exhibition in a small gallery in berlin (Torstrasse 161) and really had a good time. Two european artists (J&K) went to Egypt and brought home a very catchy but disturbing installation about a land between tourism and tradition. The presentation is great, as you can really get "inside" the show.

























two more berlin gallery recommendations:
- "the darkside portraits @ www.pool-gallery.com (tucholskystr. 38)
- "berliner strasse" @ circleculture gallery (gipsstrasse 11)
group-exhibition featuring works of my favorite berlin artists of now "Jaybo aka Monk", who is also the graphic guru of "Style & The Family Tunes"-magazine.

JACK TENNIS - SHORT FINGERS

What should I say? Load the track down, play it in your club and have a freaked out party! don't don't don't do do don't...

SOFT TIGERS - MR. ICE CREAM

Shir Khan is playing in Australia and we listen to bands from Australia. Soft Tigers are from Sydney and they release on Bang Gang 12inches, the label of the incredible Bang Gang DJs.
Do you know DJ Gorky from Bonde Do Role and his favorite t-shirt with the print "Ice cream saved my day"? Maybe he wrote the lyrics...

JUICEBOX & DRE SKULL - SWEAT (XXX CHANGE REMIX)

What a nice remix! A rock-beat meets a house-piano and a disco-bassline. Love it! The original rocks in an 90's Technotronic style. Funny, but a bit too much for me. Listen to it here: www.myspace.com/officialjuiceboxxx.
Or check out their label Vicious Pop Records for more strange (dance?) music: www.myspace.com/viciouspoprecords

AUSSIE CALLIN

Oh. I love Singapore Airlines so much. Markus (Supermarkt) was totally right that this is the best flight agency. I could choose between 98 movie channels and yes - I could also play computer games...just as SPACE INVADERS...classic! However, made my way from Singapore to Australia to give it a bit of Dj-Touring here. Just played at the Bang Gang Deejays Party in Melbourne at 3rd Class. That was brilliant. Met Gameboy/Gamegirl there. Also Sidney got totally crazy. Now I am hanging here around at Bondi Beach trying to bring a toxicated body into motion....Actually I got back into riding the waves....Last time I did this was nearly 18 years ago. Wow! Yesterday I checked out some Koala Bears, Kangoroos and Tasmanian Devils...yeah...Zoo Khan kicked it in the jungle. My reccommendation for today: REVLOVER - CAN'T STAND (ZZT RMX). Thats a standout track which is going to be released in January on RELISH. Just used it in Sidney as my intro and everybody asked what it is. Its all mental and the weird pianolick in the middle is nasty. Actually..its too new...so I am not going to post this. Another funny tune is: JENNIFER ROSTOCK - KOPF ODER ZAHL (DEICKIND RMX)...quite impressed by this one. Funny German lyrics in a dope Deichkind Rmx. Already played it and it rocked! So the track I am going to post is from Yukseks mate Brodinksi from France. This came out on Mental Groove and comes with Remixes from the ones of Radioclit and Crookers. Crookers did the most banging and since I have been playing this tune to death I am gonna post it here for you.
