Marcel Dettmann has released details of his debut album, which is simply titled Dettmann.
Following in the footsteps of labelmates Ben Klock, Shed, Prosumer & Murat Tepeli and Luke Slater, Dettmann will be the fifth Ostgut member to unleash a full artist album, having previously collaborated with Klock on 2007's Scenario double pack. We're yet to hear exactly what the album sounds like, but we're promised plenty of stripped back but powerful MDR-esque moments along with a counterbalance of deeper material, including the two intro and outro tracks that bookend the record. Marcel himself is also being coy about specific details, but hints that it won't be a strictly dance floor record. "I like music with a depth that I can feel. There is no formula for that. It could be a concept album or one that makes use of various styles." The album will be preceded by a Dettmann Remixed 12-inch, featuring a Norman Nodge mix of "Shift," and a Wincent Kunth version of "Vertigo."

The name says it all. Dettmann is the debut long player of Berghain's resident DJ, producer and remixer Marcel Dettmann – and what an album it is. Intrinsically tied to the myth that is Berghain by now, the attached label Ostgut Ton and at the same time with the regeneration of no-frill, cleansed and powerful electronic music, Marcel Dettmann managed a daring feat: the production of a truly absorbing and veritable techno album.
Framed by "Quasi" and "Taris" as intro respectively outro, Spread out over ten tracks, Dettmann transports the raw energy, the rough aesthetics and the simple grace of techno. A Berliner-by-choice, the difficult format doesn't bog him down. Neither does he give in to exhausting finger exercises that try to supersede his learned trade, nor does he confront the listener with hasty or brutal tracks that would rather feel at home pressed on a 12-Inch in a DJ-case. Tracks like „Reticle", „Drawing", „Captivate" or „Silex" seem like the convergence of his striking efforts and discography up until now. On the one hand you have his straight up and independent outfit MDR, on the other hand there is his remix work (e.g. recent interpretations of Mikkel Metal, Fever Ray or Junior Boys) and last but not least it has to be in tune with his passion as a disc jockey.
You get contemplative moments with almost weightless layers of sound that get used like melodies or chords, rotating with condensed, intensified and sappy snatches. Rigour and austere beauty go hand in hand. Surprisingly enough, with a genre that aware of its own history, Dettmann never falls prey to the dangerous and seductive nature of nostalgia. The very special and beloved yearning for a good old time that is often at the side of producers who try not to grandstand. However, Dettmann sounds as fresh and self-contained as techno nowadays can be. And more so, it once and for all establishes its eponym as a genre mainstay.
And what about the man himself? What does Marcel Dettmann care for with an album? "I like music with a depth that I can feel. There is no formula for that. It could be a concept album or one that makes use of various styles." However described or classified, his own is a successful meditation about the art form we call techno.
It will also have a 3x 12" LP release.
And the preceding 12" will have Norman Nodge remixes of Shift and Unrest. And Wincent Kunth remixes of Vertigo and Wound Up ;) |

Geez. What's with techno releases stealing hyperbole from trance PR blurbs lately? |

Haha maybe just putting "Dettman." as description would suffice indeed :)
Not really bothered by the PR blurbs though, they always contain a few bits of cool info imo. |

Oh, they're usually fine for info. But when you got to wade through phrases like this:

it gets annoying. |

| quote: | | Stolen Nature adeptly bridges the synthetic/organic abyss with uniquely composed granular textures, aleatoric rhythmic patterns and modal jazz structures. The release's arcane theme is unfalteringly cohesive and conceptual from beginning to end. Miller's compositional sensibility on Stolen Nature has reconciled the poles of unadulterated, native sounds and processed, algorithmic music. These two adverse ideas are adroitly synthesized into a hybrid entity that lives and breathes on its own. The stochastic electronics laden deep in Stolen Nature's structure seem to have a sentient quality that hauntingly reflects recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence. The intricate machinations featured on Stolen Nature are inclined to deep personal sentiments and emotion. Cullen's application of traditional instruments takes the antiquated oral tradition and fuses it into a futuristic context. |
