More on Malente
[Malente (Unique Records)
ARTIST / DJ / PRODUCER BIOGRAPHY:

The German DJ and producer MALENTE has released a total of four albums on Unique Records since the year 2000. The origin of his name „Malente“ is based on the fact that he was born in a small town in northern Germany, which is called Malente (since this question is frequently posed...).
The Music: After his first 12´´ „Fertig“, Malente´s debut album „The Spirit Of Malente“ was released in 2000 including the unforgettable single „I Sell Marihuana“. The second album „No Risk No Funk“ earned even more respect and positive reactions. Four tracks from this LP breezed through to single-releases! The Video of „We Came To Party“ was even broadcasted by MTV on the „Dancefloorcharts“ and by the German music-channel VIVA on the „Dancevotecharts“.

Since 2004, Malente releases his works very successfully on Unique Records and Moonbootique Records, the label of Moonbootica, at the same time. Following the Moston & Malente single „In The Sky“, also broadcasted by MTV and VIVA, Moonbootique released the 12’’´s „Washington“ and „Crowdrock/Tight With You“, two other dancefloor rockers. All tunes were highly rated by the DCC (German Club Charts) and only „Dancefloor Whore/What You Got“ - an extraction of the in 2005 on Unique Records released album „Rip It Up“ - got a better positioning. „Rip It Up“ includes three new tracks by Malente and 10 remixes, whereof 8 were exclusively created for this album.

At the End of 2005, Malente released the first 12“ „Like A Freek“ from his forthcoming new album „How Can You Still Stand To Stand Still“, which will be out on 11th August 2006. This piece of vinyl immediately entered the top 10 of the DCC and held its place for seven weeks. Moreover, it reached the No.1 in UKs Breakbeat Mailorder www.streetwisemusic.com.

Malente began the year 2006 in february with „Hot Daddy“, the new 12“ on Moonboutique, followed by the Malente pres. ManroX „Theme From Manrox“ with three new tracks on Luscious Sounds (the label of Azzido Da Bass) at the end of March. In May, Moston & Malente released „The 2 & Only“ on Splank! Records UK, wherewith they could win over English mags from I:DJ to Mixmag!

Also available in the shops: The Compilation „Top Of The Clubs Vol.30“ (Kontor), including a 40-minutes-set of Moston & Malente. The second single from the new album, named „For The Revolution“, will be out in June 2006 on Unique Records. Remixes of this tune were made by Mason (Great Stuff/Middle Of The Road/ NL), Smoove (Acid Jazz/Wack!/ UK) and the Ex-BronxDog / Ex-Wiseguy (Mister Ohlala) DJ Regal (AUS).
The appeal of his unique style can be seen by the long list of remixes he has already made: among others there’s Louie Austen, Thomilla, Groove Rebels, Bob Sinclar, DJ Friction, The Strike Boys, Frank Popp Ensemble, Monosourround or Le Hammond Inferno. Another indication are his many DJ gigs not only in Germany, but worldwide. Solely in 2005, he travelled the USA, Canada, Australia, Thailand, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Russia, Greece and other countries. When Malente is playing one of his outstanding DJ-sets, party is to be expected and no puristic bullshit.
The Malente-sound is not simply ElectroHouse. It is more pumping Electro-House stompers with a rockin’ & funky feel - and this on the basis of that typically positive Malente-Vibe! No doubt it’s easier and better to listen to that than to couch in terms.
