She hates musicals and called her 2022 album 'DJ Marcelle: The Musical'. She dislikes cheese and calls her new album 'A Different Fridge For Cheese'. Probably the answer has more to do with her wicked sense of humour and her love for original track and album titles. The singular producer and dj from Amsterdam lives in that rare league of artists who are out there, doing their own thing, continually pushing the boundaries of electronic music and having a great time in doing so as well. This new album is like any Marcelle production (and dj-set): it's hard to pigeonhole. Dub, techno and avant-garde influences are clearly present but the overall feeling is one of freedom, excitement, adventure and playfulness. Ideas bounce off another and Marcelle is certainly not content with one single formula. Each track becomes a new beginning, a new adventure. Where can we take this? What if we try that? Bristling with possibilities, structures are pushed and pulled and explode excitedly. Album opener and closer 'Muslimgauze Was Right Part I and II' are short pieces of rhythmic noise, 'Big Room Techno Looking For A Room' is a weird and very danceable techno track and the bouncy 'Nice Feet' is not only another great dance track but also the second tribute on the lp ('Muslimgauze Was Right' the other one); this one is an ode to the best female footballer in the world, Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati. 'New Equipment' describes the mood of the track perfectly. For a The Fall fan the track title 'You Don't Have To Be Weird To Be Weird' should ring a bell. Insect sounds dominate stop-start track 'To Bee Or Not To Bee'. 'A Difficult Fridge For Cheese' (nearly the title track!) is a storming avant-garde track featuring voices of some of her (musical) friends like two members of avant dub outfit Holy Tongue and fans and friends she met whilst dj-ing in amongst others Brazil and Portugal, asking in their native language to leave the cheese in the fridge, por favor. This brings us to the album title. The title was inspired by a visit to her dj-friend and fellow The Fall-fanatic Carlos Souffront in San Francisco. Souffront, in daily life a cheesemonger, does have a different fridge for the cheese in his house. Upon seeing this, Marcelle decided to name her new lp after this. For future album titles controversial phenomena like 'pop choirs' and 'dj schools' are warned! After 'Explain The Food, Bitte' and 'DJ Marcelle: The Musical', 'A Different Fridge For Cheese is Marcelle's third album being released on the Berlin label 'play loud!'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Play Loud!","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50403823518027,"sku":"2213535","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_af6eff3b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726564164"},{"product_id":"all-that-may-do-my-rhyme-2","title":"All That May Do My Rhyme","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlay Loud! re-issues Roky Erickson's 1995 album \u003ci\u003eAll That May Do My Rhyme\u003c\/i\u003e on limited edition white vinyl.

Excerpt from the album´s liner notes by Stephen Murphy (Gods Gift´s co-founder \u0026amp; guitar player): \"Manchester was almost cave-like somehow, like a giant tunnel of grim half-light. It seemed as if it was always dark and always raining. The buildings were either grey or shades of grey and that made it a very oppressive atmosphere to inhabit. I think a lot of people of our age reacted to this bleakness and responded accordingly. It was the time of Thatcher of course and there was the added horror of a quite horrendous Manchester chief of police called James Anderton, who was referred to, mockingly, as God's Cop. He disliked everything and anything that could make life remotely enjoyable and had a special hatred of homosexuals. I wouldn’t lend any weight to his history but I would advise anybody to read about the things he said, whilst bearing in mind he was actually the Police Chief of our city and listened only to God. He hated any sort of difference in people and that didn't fit well with a very working-class city. Those years and the way we lived and were brought up made our stance very anti-authoritarian. I think that the coming together of these shoots of miserable city life and working 60 hours a week in a Victorian asylum were defining factors for the appearance of Gods Gift. Such an era, such a bleak city, such a miserable lack of self-determination festering in a gothic workplace, with its innate mental health horrors, it truly created some strange feelings and opinions for us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Play Loud!","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50403827810635,"sku":"2213540","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_46615b4e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726564212"},{"product_id":"les-stances-a-sophie-3","title":"Les Stances A Sophie","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn May 28, 1969, four American musicians — reed\/wind players Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman, bassist Malachi Favors, and (accompanied by his wife, singer Fontella Bass) trumpeter Lester Bowie — boarded the ocean liner S.S.

In the late sixties, this percussionist drummed on self-made instruments, together with her then husband Paul Fuchs, in the Ensemble Anima. During that time, Limpe and Paul Fuchs cooperated with the classic pianist star Friedrich Gulda, as well as with jazz luminaries like Albert Mangelsdorff, and continually attracted the interest of their audiences in new constellations. Limpe Fuchs' solo performance with \"variable wood and stone rows, ringing bronze in the pendulum strings, and a variety of skin and bronze drums\" is a rare occasion to witness one of the early avant-gardists of the scene from the old Federal Republic Of Germany. She attempts, while playing live, to develop her musical ideas from the \"resonance of the location where the performance takes place\" - \"to make music in the flow of time, with simplicity and emotion\"! Her main concern is to sensitize the process of hearing: \"Every tone is a sensation. Listening instead of shutting one's ears. Establishing silence. When asked about the title of her new record, “Amor”, Limpe bluntly responded, “because it’s everything”. Being a Beatles fan from the very beginning, she’s well aware that “all you need is love”, but there’s more to her sentiment than a corny pun. On the one hand, she’s more than half a century into her musical career, and describes the relationship towards her instruments in terms of an ongoing and deepening love affair. “Be it my piano, my viola or my percussion instruments, they’re all far more than just wooden caskets, they’re living entities, they need to be tended and cared for, they’re resonating with me and when engaging with them while playing I respond to their momentary being – and they alter my body and soul all the same.” So, it’s about time for a love letter to her percussion instruments and the act of drumming and listening to her drums, which can be heard as “Trommeln” on the second to last track on “Amor”. We also get to learn about “Verliebte Autos im Wald” – a poem by Augusta Laar, Limpe recites during the closing track to “Amor”. What may come across as a goofy nursery rhyme at first is indeed testament to Limpe’s longstanding animistic beliefs, her imagination towards everything around her. “It may sound wonky, but it’s as simple as it’s true and it’s important to love yourself and everything around you – at least I try to do so the best I can, and sometimes I fail, sure.” And, again, if you think about it, it’s not much of a surprise, she’s singing about cars, the vehicles that since decades get her and her instruments from gig to gig, all across Europe. But it’s not all just about the material world around her, of course. So, on the other hand and for the most part, “Amor” reflects on love as an interpersonal and spiritual experience. Drawing inspiration from such different authors as Giordano Bruno, Hilde Domin and Serge Kahili King, “Amor” is a record of compositions one could almost call “songs” although they’re far from being performed in a conventional way. It is also Limpe Fuchs’ most openly insightful and vulnerable record to date. As curious as ever, in her light-hearted yet thoughtful manner she explores the upsides and downsides of what it means to be loved or not loved: “At times it’s also sad, that love is the only way, but it is – at least it’s what I experienced and experience to this day.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Play Loud!","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50875218886987,"sku":"2227493","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_38602096_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732252452"},{"product_id":"silver-monk-time","title":"Silver Monk Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e2024 re-release. 29 bands pay tribute to the first avant-garde band in pop history - The Monks.

Their collaboration unfolds as a kind of 360° cinematic voyage—fast as light, steeped in grace, madness, fire, and the kaleidoscopic whirlwind that emerges when two burning artistic souls collide. Sometimes one provides the music, the other the voice; sometimes the roles reverse—or happen simultaneously. There is no fixed structure, no predetermined plan—only a relentless drive for absolute creative freedom, a movement of cosmic and poetic resistance.
