His long-term association with Berlin techno mecca Berghain has certified Germany’s Marcel Dettmann as one of the world’s leading dancefloor purveyors, though on his new DJ-Kicks mix that’s due for release tomorrow, he examines his deeper, more rueful side.
Dettman describes his mix as a “lost-and-found story. I can draw from 25 years of collecting records, digging deep, revisiting, researching.”
“I was sitting for weeks in my music room at home—listening to records, sometimes together with the kids, editing, researching, playing games… It turned out as a good combination to be at home with the family whilst working on this music project. I was listening to a lot of music, which is great—music that I hadn’t listened to for ages and certainly wouldn’t have played in a club set.”
Marcel Dettmann DJ-Kicks arrives Friday, October 14. Enjoy a preview over at the DJ-Kicks website .
