# EB Exclusive: Alexander Geist – Bad Language (Black Cracker Remix)
**Alexander Geist** may have been born in England, but that velvety
voice is pure Berlin. The singer is a little bit **Bowie**, a little bit
**Dietrich**, and all class. His debut single *Bad Language* is rich,
succulent disco-pop in the old tradition, melancholic yet sensual: this
bad boy got *soul*. The single, released by **[Haute Areal][1]{:
target="_blank"}** as both a download and a purple 7″, is produced by
fellow rising Berlin player **[Joey Hansom][2]{: target="_blank"}**,
whose DJ sets and remixes for the likes of Ssion and **[Light Asylum][3]{:
target="_blank"}** has earned him some pretty heavy attention from
bloggers and musicians alike.
We're pleased to bring you an exclusive remix from yet another ex-pat
living in Berlin, NYC's [Black Cracker][4]{: target="_blank"}! With a
[book of collected poems and art][5]{: target="_blank"}, a [recent
LP][6]{: target="_blank"}, and some prime collabs with the likes of
**CocoRosie**, it's hard to imagine where he finds the time to
deconstruct Geist's morose melody into a sexy R&B jam, but we're
certainly glad he does. Download it below, and make sure to pick up the
single now!
