Battleship Records was
founded in 2000 by Marc "Mystro" Petricciani after the
breakup of the group Revelations (Prologic, Buzz
Lyteyear, and Mystro). During his time with
Revelations, Mystro discovered some of the darker
sides of the music industry and decided the only way
to make the music he loved and still retain the rights
to the songs, he would have to go independent. The
goal of the label was simple: to put out the kind of
music that the artists wanted to put out and to
provide a comfortable working environment for the
artists. Since the label consisted of mostly friends
and family, this goal was realistic, and in 2003
Battleship released its first project "Battleship
Records Presents". This record featured Prologic,
Concept Trinity, Ande Kapp & Parmajohn (now known as
The Groove's Brothers), and Tag King Fresh. The EP
caught the attention of other artists in the Portland
area, especially SANTOTZIN, who joined the label in
2005. The Battleship roster now consist of Santotzin,
Ozone, Prologic, The Groove's Brothers, Concept
Trinity, Tag King Fresh, and Are They Serious?.
Battleship has also worked with such artists as Manic
D, Villagelliot, Roosevelt, Trash Heap, and Sleep (of
Oldominion).
