Originally posted by epdarks I was lucky enough to see the guy play a few weeks back in Minneapolis. Crackhead... doubt it. Our promoters here had the nerve to give him a PBR when he asked for a beer. He did chain smoke cigs and play the afterparty for free. So maybe he's got a bit of crackhead in him. Hard ass, definitely not. Oh did I mention he was playing mid 90's techno rippers and closed with Radiohead. Dude can definitely play music.

Like I've talked with you many times before about that night, Dan. Marcel seemed very down to earth, and definitely didn't have the 'crack-head' look. He was very into it, and the crowd fed off that energy well. He in returned fed back off the crowd. I think Epdarks will agree that was one of, if not the best night of music we've witnessed here in Minneapolis.

i get the impression that he takes what he does very seriously, if I may say so he seems to have a distinctly nordic severity and intensity.. I have heard nothing but good things about his live sets. I missed him at the bunker, but I was never thoroughly impressed with any of the sets I've heard from him.

One of my friends reviewed the night in a blog and I basically played the part of Deborah Downer, saying that what he's doing is virtually no different than what earlier detroit guys like Rob Hood were doing when they played at tresor, etc in 90s Berlin. In a sense I feel that this whole cult of the ostgut is mainly supported out of nostalgia or by those who missed out the first time, but I don't see anything about it as particularly mind blowing.

Now that's not to say he's not a good DJ or that I don't like techno music... but come on there is so much hype around this guy.

But I do really like a lot of the stuff coming out of this scene, production-wise, and probably mostly because I missed out on it the first time

I must admit I'm pretty new to the Techno scene as well. Saying that though, I've seen quite a few Techno shows over the last year, and Marcel far and away was my favorite. I guess I just prefer the Berlin/Berghain Techno sound more than the Classic Detroit sound. I don't know, I may be talkng out of my ass on this though. The higher BPM Techno he was playing I did prefer compared to other US Techno DJ's that had come through the cities prior to him.

I think I've had just about enough of you and your "Detroit did it 15 years ago" talk. I think you just need to join me in my DeLorean and head back to 1986 where we can be supercool.

jaykay that made no sense...i've been drinking :/

haha, i probably attended 25+ techno parties in the last year, just missed m dettmann that night

Well if that type of sound is old and is just now resurfacing I'm glad... because I like it a good bit.

Sorry about that. For some reason I thought I read in your previous post that you were new to techno. Never mind that first part then.
