About

Marcel Dettmann (born 26 October 1977 in Pössneck, Germany) is a Berlin-based techno DJ, producer, and label owner who has held a residency at Berghain - and its predecessor OstGut - since 1999. His sound draws on the raw, industrial pulse of Detroit and Chicago techno, refined through years behind the counter at the legendary Hard Wax record store. Beyond the DJ booth, he runs two labels (MDR and Bad Manners Records), contributed music to Lana Wachowski's 'The Matrix Resurrections', and has collaborated with the Berlin State Ballet.
