- Bio: German DJ and producer MALENTE has released a total of five albums on Unique Records since the year 1999. 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“ is released in 2000, including the unforgettable „I Sell Marihuana“. Combinig organic 70s funk with electronic sounds. Four tracks from his second album „No Risk No Funk“ (2002) breezed through to single-releases! The Video of „We Came To Party“ was broadcasted by MTV and by the German music-channel VIVA.
Since 2004 Malente got more and more into dirty electro. Malente releases his works now also Moonbootique Records, the label of DJ team Moonbootica. Following the Moston & Malente single „In The Sky“, Moonbootique over the years release „Washington“ (2004), „Crowdrock/Tight With You“ (2005), „Hot Daddy" (2006) and "Killer Applikation" (2007 wich is being played by Tiga, Chris Lake, Crookers etc).
„Rip It Up“ (2005), Malente's third album, shows his path from organic funk to kranky electro madness. At the End of that year, Malente releases the first 12“ „Like A Freek”. This piece of vinyl immediately enters the top 10 of the DCC and held its place for seven weeks. Moreover, it reaches #1 in UKs Breakbeat Mailorder www.streetwisemusic.com
2006 Malente presents ManroX: Theme From Manrox“ (Luscious Sounds), and does Moston & Malente „The 2 & Only“ (Splank!), embraced by English mags from I:DJ to Mixmag! Also his first DJ-Mix CD is put out 2006: „Top Of The Clubs Vol.30“ (Kontor). The 2nd single from the „How Can You Still Stand To Stand Still“ album, again a big seller named „For The Revolution“, is followed by the release of that album in late 2006. With this album Malente is moving from breaks, heading into digital dirty rockin', fidgety electro stuff.
2007 Malente starts off with two 12"es in the top10 of German Club Charts at the same time! „Killer Applikation" (peak #2) and „Open Secret" (also #1 in www.juno.com salescharts). The follow up “tHIS MANROx” backed with “Sp�nd Ur Ca$h” reaches #7 May. “tHIS MANROx”-Remixes are released in july. What wasn't mentioned before is that Malente loves remixing. Over the years he reworks tunes by Mason, Moonbootica, Bob Sinclar, Coburn, Turntablerocker and many more (see below). That’s why he put together the CD-Compilation including the best malente remixes so far plus a brand new Malente DJ-Mix CD. The Double CD “Whow” hit the stores in late October 2007. A Vinyl Album Sampler 12” is released with it and in December Moston & Malente’s “F*cked Up” 12” another single from the album.
