Blood Blister In Mouth

Marcel Dettmann - Dettmann (Ostgut-Ton)

Who ever in line at the Mountain Grove was standing and then also the good fortune had to be found in this venerable hall entrance, can tell about what one has to expect. This is Berlin's techno temple every weekend retreat of pilgrims from all directions to pay homage to the bass drum. One of the resident DJs there Marcel Dettmann is, who is now regarded as an institution in the field of techno. For this call, he was justifiably also because he is responsible for pre-selection and the purchase in Hardwax, the record shop in Berlin, where you get what the store says, techno.

After several releases on the Berghain associated label Ostgut sound, and on his own label MDR (Marcel Dettmann Records), as well as remixes for among other things, Scuba, Loco Dice and Moderate appears now his first album with the first bit pretentious entitled "Dettmann. Very well. Who knows who this man is and what the name is, know what one as expected.

The twelve pieces are consistently marked by a certain depth, one draws a dark vortex from which there is no escaping that feels but not threatening, but much more majestic. It is the claim the Dettmann in his sets, in the selection of the plates in Hardwax and just in the music he produces is. No moment in which something is too much or too little, let alone any sounds. Deep bass lines, just bass drums, repetitiveness that never fade sounds with the right amount of reverb, so that the width of the space is taken fully into account, in the hall where the music and Dettmann his homeland. There must be with a clear conscience of a timeless ? Spoken aesthetics, because the album does not take any trends or fashion trends, but reflects much more the distilled essence of techno again: Futuristic, anarchic and uncompromising at once. Unsurprisingly little to hear both the graceful ambience of space, as well as the merely tinged dub element. Which are basic building blocks of music and find their rightful destination only to "Dettmann. The purest form of techno indicated.
