With a career spanning since 1994, he has become a prominent figure in the electronic music scene. As a resident of the legendary Berlin club Berghain and the founder of Marcel Dettmann Records label, his influence reaches far beyond the turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDettmann's unique sound blends elements of techno and house, captivating audiences worldwide with his impeccable mixing skills and diverse track selection. His performances are known for their intense energy and immersive atmosphere, making him a sought-after artist at major festivals and clubs around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOften compared to artists such as Ben Klock, DVS1, Shed, and Norman Nodge among others from his genre-defining circle; Marcel Dettmann continues to push boundaries with his innovative productions. With releases on esteemed labels like Ostgut Ton and MDR, he has solidified his position as one of techno's most respected figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fear-of-programming","title":"Fear Of Programming","description":"\u003cp\u003eNearly 10 years on since his last solo LP, Berlin techno icon Marcel Dettmann arrives on Dekmantel with an expansive album captured in a flash of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn many ways Fear Of Programming is a reflection on the artistic process – the critical hurdles one has to overcome, the constant strive for originality, the ability to capture inspiration in its pure moment of inception. Bar the closing title track (and we all know Marcel loves a surprise closing), these 13 tracks came together during a period in which our hirsute host was able to immerse himself in studio practice and set the intention to record an album’s worth of material every single day. From the resulting mass of work there were many options to choose from, and Fear Of Programming stood out as one of the most complete statements on Dettmann’s approach in the here and now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnconcerned with an overarching concept, it was the work in the studio which drove the musical direction. No labouring over knotty arrangements, no painstaking mix downs – just honest expression, a moment caught, a groove locked, a stroke of synth sent pirouetting over a cavernous bed of texture. The results are varied, and while you might well hear plenty of bruising machinations in line with the techno Dettmann has made his name on, there are plenty of other shades expressed across the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmbient sojourns, beatless epics and angular electronica have equal footing with strident, floor-friendly workouts. Standout piece ‘Water’ offers an icy ballet of swinging minimal and drip-drop melodics fronted by Ryan Elliott on lesser-spotted vocal duties, urging, ‘give me a sign, just a little something to let me know that you’re mine’. It’s playful, but still underpinned with the sincerity that comes with Dettmann’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning on instinct, Dettmann presents an honest version of himself in the here and now, speaking through the sonics and not over-thinking the results. His decades of experience helming a thousand techno parties speak for themselves, while his evolution as a musical entity through collaboration and his own BAD MANNERS label demonstrate his appetite for change. Indeed, the working method which resulted in the album also spurred him on to create a live set beyond his well-established DJ practice. Without resorting to a conceited overhaul, Fear Of Programming opens up the idea of what Dettmann represents in the modern techno landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50450193482059,"sku":"2001135","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/r7377_0_or_464e5596_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727110056"},{"product_id":"clime","title":"Clime","description":"\u003cp\u003emarcel dettmann is now more than ever one of the most interesting producers in techno, and this latest twelve for his own mdr imprint is his most advanced and demented transmission yet. it's impossible to overstate just how brilliant the production here is - dark and padded, hollowed out techno that squeezes in deviant frequencies into f*cked up templates, creating a towering alignment of bass drops and spherical atmospheres that need to be heard to be believed. opening cut 'clime' deploys a beatless soundscape, merging a pristine aesthetic with a pulsating, clipped white noise loop that sets the scene perfectly for the kickdrum radiance of the majestic \"lattice\", a track that employs all the fuzz and glow of classic chain reaction in a completely modern setting that's offset by an innate warehouse mentality, no doubt honed at berghain on a saturday night. it's just mighty mighty stuff. \"shatter proof\" is even more demonic, making use of a reverberating woodblock snap and stunted hats, there's something primal and completely uncompromising about the sound palette and the way its employed, just shocking stuff. \"corebox\" ends the twelve with a klangy reduction accompanied by shaker-style percussion, stretched and squashed for maximum ruffage and narcotic impact. one of the finest techno twelves of the year - don't sleep on this one, it's already sold out at source, killer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50451763953995,"sku":"302193","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"electric-drive-2","title":"Electric Drive","description":"\u003cp\u003eBerlin techno icon Marcel Dettmann releases a brand new 4-track EP, \u003ci\u003eElectric Drive\u003c\/i\u003e, his first solo release for the freshly minted fabric Originals label in East London.
