WALTER MURPHY & THE BIG APPLE BAND - a fifth of beethoven (not the SOULWAX rmx, but the hidden cat-almost like soulwax-rmx)

sorry, not the soulwax rmx: Soulwax did a remix of this song, but it will not be out before next month..., someone mixed something up...
but still:
This is FUNKY!!!!
The original track - of course - was part of the soundtrack to the film SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and i have to admit i never stopped loving this track since way back then. now it sounds like: Walter Murphy vs Justice's D.A.N.C.E. Simple but very effective and not without Soul!

DEX aka DANIEL DEXTER (Exploited/Television Rocks), SHIR KHAN (Exploited/BB),

Upstairs: Ponypop vs Schlechtboys

This is the recordrelease of MALENTE&DEX - HYPERACTIVE (+remixes from BOBMO, RIVA STARR, BIRD PETERSON/Exploited Records)
The feedback on this 12" has been simply amazing. Therefore, we invited MALENTE&DEX aka DANIEL DEXTER for you.
MALENTE has more hot remixes coming out soon for the ones of ARMAND VAN HELDEN and others (his TWOCKER Rmx was hot too btw). He will also release a 12"on SOUTHERN FRIED in December and another hottie on FOOLS GOLD next year. DANIEL DEXTER is the new underground-don. He has been Djing crazy and just killed it with his latest track WHERE'S MY MIND (a coverversion of THE PIXIES) which got lots of love.
Last but not least, we invited one of the remixers of the record. We are very proud to host RIVA STARR from London (actually we got him even before Watergate could invite him to the GET PHYSICAL-Night with MANDY).
RIVA STARR is an italian guy who lives in London and has his studio at the back of 93FEET EAST in Bricklane. There he shares a studiospot with 2 more Italians: MOWGLI and SOLO. RIVA STARR has been dropping bombs on DIRTY BIRD, FRONTROOM, SOUTHERN FRIED, KINDISCH and remixed AUDIOBULLYS, TWOCKER, DEADSET, RADIOCLIT, RENE VAN MUNSTER and of course MALENTE&DEX. He will release more good stuff on MADE TO PLAY soon and he just did an amazing mix for ANNIE MAC on BBC RADIO1 which you can hear this Saturday on BBC1 (scroll down for link).
For now we gonna give away 2 tracks of RIVA STARR from his SCRATCH'N ITCH-EP on SOUTHERN FRIED as well as the BOBMO-Remix of HYPERACTIVE from MALENTE&DEX which was hosted by our favourite XLR8R-staff.

The Teenagers, Jape & The Young Punx tonight at Maria Club Berlin

no question, where we are tonight... because all three acts were already introduced in berlin battery!

here is a new and outstanding remix for The Teenager's "make it happen". This is one of the rare examples of a Teenagers remix that takes the original somewhere new and exciting: Imagine the song produced by Phil Spector and played by Air. this is very special! As usual recently I don't know anything about TWINS that did the mix. Just check his myspace!

Studio R feat Mocky - Clapz / Studio R feat. Capitol A - A+R

Life can be tough sometimes. My whole laptop died. Not only my harddrive - no - the whole thing.
I was lucky enough to recover most of the files. Now I have to wait until the new Macbook comes out.
Until then, I will work on a very oldschool and slow Mac. The only good thing about this was that I checked some of my
external harddrives where I found lots of good music on it.
Once - there was a project called STUDIO R. I was actually involved in this project as the DJ and samplesource. Not many people knew about the project because we didnt do any liveshows. We did 2 12" Vinyls - one on Sonarkollektiv and one on Compost/Black Label. The first single featured Canadian Rapper MOCKY. The second single had CAPITOL A on the Mic. I made a selection for you of the best Remixes. Grab a nice TRICKSKI and SLOPE-Remix of the track STUDIO R feat. MOCKY - CLAPZ (Sonarkollektiv) and the LLORCA and BEN MONO-Dub of STUDIO R feat. CAPITOL A - A+R (Compost/Black Label). Actually - these files werent on my external harddrive. I only found the artwork. Therefore, I bought them myself at Beatport:) Here you go. Enjoy the ZIP-File.

Everyday Hustle (AC Slater RMX / MALENTE Re-Edit)

The Sinden remix of Rick Ross Hustlin' was the first Bmore track that grabbed my attention. This was back in 2006 when the second wave of Bmore began. The first wave never reached Europe so don't blame me for being ignorant. With it's oldschoold drumloops / breaks it defenitely had a big impact on the sound happening today.

Damn close to a proper cover is this version of Hustlin'. The AC Slater Remix has been all over the net, I know that and I usually try to avoid editing those songs already posted to death. This time though I edited about everything, even slowed it down and made it a proper 4/4 djtool for those who like just a flavour of dubstep in their sets.

Well, as you don't read this anyway and download just everything right away, who am I to tell you how this Re-Edit sounds like? It is by the way Re-Edit no. 22 here on Berlin Battery. From me to you and for free as always. I really hope that all the work I put into this not only helped you to rock your floor, but also made you buy some tracks or even better 12"es by the featured artists. They need your financial support. No joke.

Be aware! and see you there!

KLUMPFISK

What a great name for a band! I thought it translates "Klumpfuss" in German..., but it is the name for these big strange fishes that look like a piece of rock and live very deep in the sea, where it's dark.. (how cool is that)
These guys/this guy are/is from Sweden and that's about everything i know about them. But this remix they did for "los ambientos" STUDIO speaks a strong language and that'S enough. It is really groovy in an electro-disco sense, but still like no other song i ever heard in my whole life. Very hypnotic, repetitive, no big changes, just a cool BEAT with a BIG bassline! A real slow burner... Took me some time to completely fall for it. But now it is THERE with me! It's addictive and a real shaker! Even the "Nu-Shooz"-style part at the end is a winner. Go for it and watch them grow (the track and the Klumpfiskies).

>>>STUDIO - Westside (Klumpfisk rmx).mp3
(yousendit)

They did two other remixes for Lykke Li and The Magnetic Fields and two nice mashups with The Beastie Boys and Peaches... Check them at their myspace:

well, no myspace for the fish yet...:
