Press Info:
German producer and DJ, Marcel Dettmann takes the helm for the 77th part of the fabric mix series.

Growing up in Fürstenwalde in the former German Democratic Republic, Dettmann has been influenced by various music styles since he was a child. His grandmother worked as a music teacher and inspired Marcel and his family to play instruments. In addition the radio at Marcel´s home was always on if there was already no record playing.

Little by little he discovered the likes of Depeche Mode, The Cure or DAF, then later Detroit Techno and Chicago House. As they only had a record player at home he obviously just bought vinyls. His passion led him to start recording mix tapes for himself and his friends, and he also began to organise parties in his hometown. When school and apprenticeships didn’t seem to work out he ran a small record store in the house of his mother. It was with this job that he financed the beginning of his own elaborate record collection.

Dettmann was DJing at the club Ostgut from the late 90s – the forerunner to Berghain. For a decade he’s been a resident DJ of the world renowned club in Berlin. Even though Marcel is involved with several labels such as Ostgut Ton, for the fabric mix he prefered to pick mostly unreleased material from his own imprint, Marcel Dettmann Recordings (MDR).

“I mixed it at home with 2 CD players, as most of the tracks are not available on vinyl yet.The mix is mostly based on unreleased MDR demo tracks, which I’ve carried around with me for the last few years. For example the ROD track, I’ve had this one for at least 3 years. Now it is finally a good opportunity to release those tracks and they will all come out on MDR.” – Marcel Dettmann

Marcel chose to incorporate a variety of techno sounds in this mix – including tracks from fellow MDR artists Answer Code Request and Norman Nodge, to younger names in the industry that he’s recruited for his label, such as Wincent Kunth, and a number of his own remixes, tied together by releases by the likes of Terence Fixmer and Robert Hood’s Monobox. Fabric 77 is a well-balanced snapshot of current techno in a master’s hands. It may surprise some listeners with its vibrancy, delicacy and range that reaches far beyond the sound you would expect in a dark sweaty club at 6am. It’s a perfect personal reflection of Marcel’s love of all music and techno in particular.

Myako and Vincent Vidal, side by side behind the dj booth, together in the studio… finally united on a record !

Press Info (English):
With Monolith an acknowledged veteran joins the HANDS label roster. “From Belgium to Berlin” – that’s not only Eric’s personal biography in short, it’s also the route that the sound he had its stakes in creating has taken: Partially club-compatible, entirely rhythmic and absorbing, this is premier league entertainment for contemporary electronic aficionados across the scenes, from the electro industrial underground onto the Berghain dance floor. It’s general knowledge that Eric van Wonterghem is a member of Absolute Body Control and Sonar, and that he has a notable past as Insekt, as well as under the Monolith moniker itself. On this behalf, “Crashed” is his 8th album already, and he can also look back at a string of live performances as well, forging his hypnotic and tribal rhythmic noise sound. This album shows the timeless facets of the “Belgian” sound that Eric van Wonterghem and his various fellow musicians have created over the last three decades, and that’s still newsworthy today: The icy, repetitive electro industrial sound, dominated by incisive rhythms with crashing cymbals and slight distortion, clinical and yet strangely warm and analogue has intrigued generations of underground music fans since its inception in the early 80s, and now it has arrived in the scene of Berlin, today’s minimal techno capital of the world, where it’s namechecked (and sometimes ripped off) by a new generation of producers. “Crashed” stands as good proof that Monolith is still capable of cutting-edge productions himself: A short, forbidding intro of static fuzz and swelling atmosphere (“No Escape”) and then 10 tight and rhythmic tracks. Some stand out as downright recommendations for the dance floor – following in the line of his recent vinyl 12” on Sonic Groove – like the rhythm noise/dub techno hybrid “Rotated”, the slightly EBM-ish “Crashed” and the hard-hitting “The Source”, while others draw from various other aspects: “Roadblock” is a raw, stomping boulder of sound, “The Victim” operates in rather purebred dub techno territory, “I Control Evolution” sounds rather klinik-al with its distorted 808 pattern and mock vocals. “10 Minutes before Blackout” finishes off an album that offers braindance and physical moments, done with expertise and a unique handwriting.

Artist:
Marcel Dettmann feat. Emika

Title:
Seduction

Label:
Ostgut Ton

Cat#:
O-TON 76

Release Date:
30th June 2014

Format:
vinyl & digital

Tracklist:
A1)
Seduction
(Long Version)

A2)
Seduction
(Deuce Remix)

B1)
Seduction
(Anthony Parasole Remix)

B2)
Seduction
(Ryan Elliott Remix)

Press Info (English):
There are only few producers that represent the essence of techno and the hardness and gloom of Berghain as perfectly as Marcel Dettmann, the founding member of the Ostgut Ton family. His long awaited second LP “Dettmann II“ emerged on Ostgut Ton last year. For this remix EP of the album track “Seduction“, featuring the English, Berlin-based singer Emika, Dettmann lets Deuce, Anthony Parasole and Ryan Elliot take control of the temptation.

While the digital release hosts the short version, the long version of “Seduction“ on the vinyl release brings the haunting and eerie character of this semi-ambient track to full effect, with the voice of Emika circling like a floating ghost. After the Deuce collaboration of Marcel Dettmann and Shed got a brief update on the “Dettmann II“ album track “Aim“, the duo now modulate the techno potential of “Seduction“. The vocals of Emika are not only transformed into morbid soundscapes, the resonance of the bass power turns their version into a brutal monster between agonizing desire and panic phobia.

Anthony Parasole is not only the latest member on the Ostgut booking roster, the man from New York also showed his verve for spooky sounds already with an EP on Marcel Dettmann Records, knowing how to impress with a reduced relaxation. His remix spirals into futuristic territory and targets the dancefloor with its dominant kick. Both the subliminal funk and the driving character, with its pleading vocal loops, evoke a mantra of black art. Ryan Elliot rounds the EP off with his interpretation. Starting with a throbbing kick drum, he flanks the subtle rumble in the background with dry hi-hats before the synth chords perform a courtship dance that spits out a bizarre but striking groove. In combination with the claps and the reverb on Emika’s voice a fantastic theme crafted by a versatile arrangement emerges.

Press Info (German):
Es gibt nur wenige Produzenten, die sowohl die Essenz von Techno pointiert präsentieren als auch die Härte und Dunkelheit des Berghains symbolisieren, wie das Gründungsmitglied der Ostgut-Ton-Familie Marcel Dettmann. Im letzten Jahr erschien sein langersehnter zweiter Langspieler „Dettmann II“ auf Ostgut Ton. Für die Remix-EP seines Tracks „Seduction“ mit der englischen Wahl-Berlinerin Emika lässt er nun Deuce, Anthony Parasole und Ryan Elliot die Verführung übernehmen.

Während auf dem digitalen Release die Short Version zuhören ist, erinnert die Long Version von „Seduction“ auf dem Vinyl noch mal an den eindringlichen und unheimlichen Charakter dieses semi-ambienten Tracks, in dem die Stimme von Emika wie ein schwebender Geist seine Kreise zieht. Nachdem das Deuce-Projekt von Marcel Dettmann und seinem Freund Shed bereits durch den Track „Aim“ ein Update erhielt, modellieren die beiden Berliner mit dem Remix das Techno-Potential von „Seduction“ heraus. Die Vocals von Emika werden hier nicht nur zu morbiden Flächen verwandelt, die Resonanz der Bass-Gewalt macht ihre Version zu einem brutalen Monster zwischen quälender Sehnsucht und panischer Phobie.

Anthony Parasole ist nicht nur jüngstes Mitglied im Ostgut-Booking, der Mann aus New York zeigte im letzten Jahr bereits mit einer EP auf Marcel Dettmann Records seine Verve für einen gespenstischen Sound, der mit einer reduzierten Entspanntheit zu überzeugen weiß. Sein Remix schraubt sich in ein futuristisches Territorium, das mit einer dominanten Kick durchaus den Dancefloor ins Visier nimmt. Sowohl der unterschwellige Funk als auch der treibende Charakter mit den flehenden Vocal-Loops evozieren eine Mantra der schwarzen Kunst. Ryan Elliot rundet die EP mit seiner Interpretation ab. Mit einer pochenden Kickdrum startend, lässt der Detroiter das subtile Grummeln im Hintergrund von trockenen Hi-Hats flankieren, ehe die Synthie-Chords einen Balztanz vollführen, der einen bizarren Groove ausspuckt. In der Kombination mi dem Hall auf Emikas Stimme entsteht durch die feisten Claps ein fantastisches Thema, das Elliot mit einem versatilen Arrangement veredelt.
