No mercy for Malente. Yes. I Re-Edit my own remix here as I could have done a slightly better job I must admit. Though the feedback to the remix was good and many DJs still play it, something must have gone wrong, cause it only works 98% on the floor.

But what went wrong? Touché didn’t like Moonbootica’s vocals and would have loved to have an instrumental. Moonbootica themselves told me they don’t dig the mix at all, but couldn’t put their finger on why (I hope it’s not their vocals after all…) I’d say the original remix is partly perfect. And I actually found the original parts that have been perfect and re-arranged them in a better way. The main trick here was to shorten the track a lot and cut the bass in the breakdown. When you play the new edit out be sure to put in some delay effect towards the end of the second break. Yes I still left a bit of work for you here, so take part in my re-editing process. Hope you’re playing on a pioneer mixer for the delay and do me a favour make it a 3/4 delay.

Hey, you wanna hear a weak excuse why I did not make this Remix right in the first place? Here it is: I didn’t have enough time to check it in the club as this was the tune I finished last for my “Whow” 2CD and 12″ Album Sampler end of last year. And now I should forgive myself. Especially after this Re-Edit… What? You guys don’t know Moonbootica? Shame on you. Go throw some money at them!

Malente Re-Edits. The first post is always the hardest. I guess that’s why it took me half a year to do what I do right now. Well the third reason (after no. 2: my lazyness) was that I did not just want to post some new tunes, but something special. So here is something special and from now on I’ll try to make it something special every week. I do a lot of Re-Edits for my DJ-sets so I came across the idea that this might be exactly that special giveaway I am searching for. From me to you.

Why Re-Edits? Most of the times I re-edit stuff because the arrangement of the original is too long, too short, has got a part in it that rocks/sucks or the original is played by everyone so I need an exclusive version. In some cases the track is brand new in others it’s a classic that I feel needs an update. In every case I love and respect the original track. Otherwise I wouldn’t spend time on this. In other words: The original is perfect already, but just not for me playing it out in the club. If you like the edits I did you should buy the vinyl of these releases. In the following posts I’ll write something about the artist or tune or some totally unrelated stuff, but as kind of an introduction to the whole “Malente Re-Edits”-thing I wouldn’t this time. That’s why I chose something you know everything about already (apart from that this Malente Re-Edit is from 2006)
