Selectors 003 – Marcel Dettmann 2LP

Following celebrated compilations from Motor City Drum Ensemble and Young Marco, Dekmantel’s Selectors series now continues with an edition curated by Marcel Dettmann.

Although he’s now known as one of the world’s most celebrated techno artists, even Marcel Dettmann had to start somewhere. Long before he ever held court at Berghain (or its predecessor, Ostgut), he was just another young boy in Eastern Germany, one whose earliest encounters with capitalism involved spending every penny he could scrape together down at the local record shop. In those days, it wasn’t techno that got him excited, but new wave, post-punk, industrial and EBM acts like Front 242 and Depeche Mode.
