Marcel Fengler Marcel Fengler Marcel Fengler Music Producer (MP3 Downloads) Artist Ostgut Ton
Marcel Fengler's musical influences present themselves double tracked. His early teenager years are stamped by HipHop from crews like NWA, Gang Starr and A Tribe called Quest, who have been his undisputed heroes. Even today, Fengler spins some HipHop, but only in private. His interest in electronic music on the other hand has been inspired by continuous experiences in Berlin based techno clubs like E-Werk in the early 90s. The heavy, progressive synth- and acid sounds of this era still wield some magical power on Fengler today. "As the musical range today is vaster than ever, it is really important to me in which context I'm playing out my records. That's why I love traditional labels like Planet E, M-Plant and Internal and artists like Ron Trent, Kenny Larkin, Kevin Saunderson, and Chez Damier as much as I like omtemporary artists like Sleeeparchive or Lessismore." Since the mid 90s, Marcel played at "Club im Park", a youth club in Fürstenwalde, where he later launched a party series called "SC 93" together with Marcel Dettmann. In 1997 he started to play at Berlin's Tresor among other clubs and when Berghain openend in 2004, he became a resident on big techno floor. In 2007 he released his first own record on Ostgut Ton (09). "It is important to me that music tells kind of a story using varied styles from all eras. That's why I favour to build my sets up, then down again. It has to be varied and it has to snake through the night in waves."

The Berghain resident adds to his steadily growing output with this latest EP, demonstrating his intricate crafting of quality techno tools. 'Frantic' is far from its title, more menacing in its uncanny calmness and tiny shifting details, alongside '6 In A Row's pulsating machinery and 'Mosaique's hypnotising bell-like melody.

While some of his fellow Berghain resident DJs have made a name for themselves as visionary purists and uncompromising innovators, Marcel Fengler has regularly opted for a more differentiated approach - by balancing grungy techno, stumbling dub loops and Actress-like electro in his production for instance and of course through his varied and entertaining DJ sets.

On 'Berghain 05' Fengler finally gets his shot at showing off this diversity in a full 1:16h long mix, including many previously unreleased exclusives by a stellar line-up of contributors.

Emika and Marcel Dettmann provide the chorale-like intro for the mix, which leads on to Peter van Hoesen's exclusive, 'Axis Mundi'. It's a dramatic opening that is followed by an electro-inspired section featuring Byetone, Octogen and Regis, and it is with two unearthed techno classic - the 'Minneapolis' mix of Secret Cinema's 'Timeless Altitude' and Ratio's 'Doublefeature' - that Fengler returns to straight techno beats.

Dissolving Seiji's funky shuffles into Claude Young & Takasi Nakajima's drifting piano chords is only one of the many inspired moments that Marcel Fengler's mix provides, and with its second half almost exclusively comprised of unreleased tracks - by Convextion/E.R.P., Ben Sims, Reagenz, Vril, and Marcel Fengler himself - its flow is never short of variations and surprises. Highly recommended.

An excellent EP by Marcel Fengler, which starts out with the titular minimalistic chord-jacker, followed by the deeper and dubbier 'Gridlock'. For electro fans it's all about closer 'Chi Twine' however, which was one of the finest electro tracks of 2009!

Berghain resident Marcel Fengler debuts on Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver label with a fine two tracker. Following the tradition of wide, spacious sounds designed for the cavernous spaces with massive sound-systems, 'Thwack' is a powerful tool for close combat situations.
