MDR @ fabric (15th Dec 12)

On Saturday, MDR is back at fabric for another Room 2 Techno takeover. Label boss, Marcel Dettmann is joined by Patrick Gräser who will be performing a live set under his alias, Answer Code Request. The pair will be ably supported by Anthony Parasole.

There's more Berghain / Panoramabar influence to be found around the club too as the Ostgut label head, Nick Höppner heads up Room 3.

Tickets are available from the fabric website, I'd suggest buying one because this really isn't the time of year to be queuing outside all night! Between now and then, there's plenty of stuff to keep you occupied on the fabric blog, like Create Digging with Answer Code Request and a conversation with Nick Höppner when he talks about his fabric promo mix.

Marcel Dettmann - Landscape [Music Man Records 157]

Marcel Dettmann has been sharing the love around of late. Recent months have seen him release on Ostgut Ton and 50 Weapons, remix for Delsin Records and produce a DJ compilation CD, 'Conducted', for Music Man Records. It's for this final legendary label that Dettmann drops his latest offering.

After choosing not to select any of his own work on 'Conducted' Marcel decided to put together a special EP to follow up the compilation. 'Landscape' is a sparse drifter of a record. Ambient styled synth patterns perfectly compliment the industrial grating. Those of you that have seen the 'Conducted' tracklisting will recognise the name of the remixer on this EP, Answer Code Request. After releasing their debut single towards the end of last year, Marcel invited his close friend to go to work on 'Landscape'. The result of this being bass heavy, disjointed and ferocious is all the right ways.
