Max picks: I’ll Fly With Imperial 109, I Rush You and Blastik-proof - Moody and dreamy.
Moritz picks: I Want Your Groove Back In The Heart, Rock The Party Groove and Get This Crystal Party Started - floorfillers with a twist
The first ever Lycantropii, re-edited here with a new cover. Classics include Without This Charming Man, Remember One More Time and Fritz’s all-time favourite, Burr-alive…
Max picks: You Dub Know Where The Hidden Towers Are, What About Soundwaves and Get Your Orange Wedge On - Electronic low tempo heaven…
Moritz picks: Intergalactical Desire, Slow Taste and Hold Me In Your Army - Rocking and rolling baby…
Like the every good trilogy, think Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Christopher Nolan’s Batman films, the second Lycantropii is the darker one - and as some may say, the best. It’s the one with Cruel Lullaby, Bitter Sweet Survivor and Fuck With Seikou, that brings together Jacko Wacko and the Joy Division rip-off Voice of America. A masterpiece.
Max picks: Germanlicker, Dusted Bird & Mercedes Rock - Some conceptual shit going down…
Moritz picks: Pelando Ghosts, Talking Comfortably and Believe In Bomb - Play that funky music right?
The third Lycantropii volume is a blast. Almost epic, with great tracks like Whenever Brixton and Left To My Own Survival - the much anticipated killer tune Fritz was spinning on his live sets at that time.

The the long-awaited Lycantropii volume IV is finally here... 20 brand new tracks to rock your world!
Marshall Records - or War Shall Wreck Worlds - is a record label founded by Shalalá Records former CEO Peter Zarustica. The king of controversy decided to apply his way-out-of-the-box ideas on this new company, and align them with an engagement to fight what's wrong in the world today - in his words 'silly wars and fundamentalism'.
Marshall Records' name has many many explanations. In its first ever press release, the same one Peter issued telling he was leaving Shalalá Records, Marshall Records was 'an anti-war record label filled with ammunition'. In January 2004, Zarustica said to Wired Magazine that Marshall Records was a pseudo-anagram of Shalalá Records and that he was 'expecting some of Shalalá's international royalties to 'accidentally' go into Marshall's account, because everybody knows that publishing rights collectors are bloody stupid'. That statement created much controversy in the music industry, but many believe it was a publicity stunt. Later, prior to the release of Lycantropii Volume II, he said Marshall Records was a homage to Marshall McLuhan, and its readers who 'would be the only ones who would truly understand at least half of the Lycantropii experience'. In December 2006 would return to this subject claiming 'The Beatles' HATE are the ultimate Lycantropii experience'. And, of course, Marshall Records (specially in its original form: Mar shall rec or ds) is a word play with War Shall Wreck Worlds, with the missing letters (WKWL) being underlined in phrases and mottos - like Wierd and Klassik White Label Mixes
or Who Kares, What Loser?
The word lycanthropy (in english) is used generically for any being who's part-human, part-animal. This is the idea here... Two (or more) songs mixed together, becoming something else. The Lycantropii Collection is composed by volumes of 20 tracks each. Each track is created by mixing the instrumental parts of one song with the vocals from another - becoming then another piece, unique and exclusive. A Lycantropii.
The Lycantropii CD was a Christmas tradition. Every December, during the years of 2003, 2004 and 2005, Shalalá Records fans and friends received a promo CD with 20 Lycantropii tracks from this new record label called Marshall Records.
The 2006 Christmas was different. We released The Beatles HATE - the first non-promo release of Marshall Records, and the first record with proper remixes - not mash-ups. Then 2007 came and with that Renegade Boys was launched. Practically a Lycantropii album, dedicated only to two bands - Renegade Soundwave and the Beastie Boys. 2008 saw The Beatles' HELL, and on 2009 we're releasing two CDs, Lily Allen Remixed and...
Lycantropii IV!
Max und Moritz are Fritz von Runte's pair of pioneer CDJs - the equipment used to experiment the Lycantropii ideas that Fritz will later develop in the studio. Von Runte is the de facto producer of the Lycantropii Collection. Since he had an exclusive contract with Shalalá Records at the time the project was being developed, he came up with this alias - Max und Moritz, inspired by his favourite book as a child.

We would love to hear your inputs on this project. How did the Lycantropii Collection affect your life? What do you think about wars? No really, speak your mind... What do you think about using such a transcendental experience as music to promote peace and to spread the information that wars are useless, and that we should be patriots with our whole planet and not to a piece of land. No more youngsters losing theirs lives - or limbs, and dreams - for no reason. Send us a message!
