FACT mix 150: Marcel Dettmann


What were you aiming to achieve with the Dettmann LP? Are you happy with how it turned out?

“It’s a closed artwork, out of a year of Marcel Dettmann…and and I’m really happy about the positive feedback I get.”

It’s been said by a lot of people that the Dettmann LP prevents a very “pure” vision of techno – is that something you agree with?

“I do agree on this and I’m very pleased that the album is getting recognised as such.”

How would you say your approach to production has changed since ‘Blank Scenario’?

“It’s been three years by now…You’re permanently caught in a crossfire of influences, so I think that  it’s always a constant development personally in terms of my production.”

Tell us about the mix you’ve recorded for FACT….

“I recorded it it in my studio with two turntables, two CD players and a sampler. The tracks I choosed are a mix of new stuff and some of the good old records which have accompanied me for years…”


Any new producers whose stuff you’ve been enjoying recently?

“At the moment I really like the productions of the Berlin label Do Not Resist The Beat and Sweden’s Skudge.”

Any other plans for 2010 that you can tell us about?

“I’ll be going on an album tour to the USA, Australia, South America, Asia and Europe. 
Besides that I’ll release some new tracks from different artists on my
 label MDR and I’m working on remixes for Commix, Sigha and others…”

    Wow another mix from a white male. What a surprise.
    FACT you're about as diverse as a pair of arse cheeks

    Hi Dolly,

    I hear FACT have booked in a series of mixes from black women to satisfy your craving for diversity. Apparently from now on mixes will no longer be chosen on the merits of their content, but simply on the sex and colour of the DJ. It's like New Labour all over again!

    plus, have you had the opportunity to see many arse-cheeks in your lifetime? they're pretty fucking varied – compare, say, Keeley Hazel's with my Gran's

    btw aren't you a fucking clone anyway?

    best

    Gemmy, Scott Grooves, Cooly G, Noodles, Traxx, A Guy Called Gerald, Subeena – i don't think you can excuse the FACT mix series of being white man-focussed
