Artist:	FENGLER, MARCEL
Title:	Playground/Early Glow
Label:	OSTGUT TON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	OSTGUT 009EP

Marcel Fengler is a resident DJ at Berghain, and Playground/Early Glow can be looked at as the result of a two-year testing phase of sonic possibilities available to him. "Playground" is peak-time techno with a metallic scraping noise, refined percussion and a huge kick. "Early Glow" is meant to be played in the early morning hours, as a carpet of fragmented chords with pads rush in and out, developing the sort of rhythmic hypnosis which Berlin crowds have learned to love so much. These tracks are classic Morse codes from the depths of club space.

Title:	Friction/Yaki
Label:	OSTGUT TON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSTGUT 017EP

Marcel Fengler displays two different sides to his abilities with one primetime techno banger and one more experimental cut with a strong dubstep influence. "Friction" is meant for a big techno dancefloor -- it is a self-assured DJ tool that keeps a perfect balance between deepness and peak-time energy. "Yaki" is his first track ever that features a broken beat. Accompanied by noisy fragments and dark, industrial synth stabs, this track remains deeply rooted in the Berghain sound.

Title:	Berghain 05
Label:	OSTGUT TON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	OSTGUT 019CD

This is the fifth volume in Ostgut's Berghain series, mixed by Marcel Fengler. With the focus on more current developments in more edgy techno and house, combined with a hearty nod to the past, the Berghain mix continues with newcomers like Puresque showing promise, alongside a weighty new Ben Sims track, and the pounding filtered glory of Vril's "UV" -- another exclusive for the mix. Marcel includes a new track that heads straight for the floor with "Sphinx," while Skudge put forward "Man On Wire." The slow burning house of Reagenz's "The Labyrinth" leads us into a psychedelic game of funk, dub and abstraction as the mix winds down. Before drawing to a close with Convextion aka E.R.P's stunning "Vapor Pressure," we're treated to a UK house classic by 20:20 Vision's "Future Remembrance (Livestyle Mix)," in all its analog glory. On Berghain 05, Marcel Fengler has proved filling floors doesn't have to be about ticking boxes. This mix is a perfect example of the type of dexterity, sensitivity and scope he possesses as a DJ. Other artists include: Emika, Marcel Dettmann, Peter Van Hoesen, Terrence Dixon, Octagen, Byetone, Dr. Walker, Tommy Four Seven, Regis, Secret Cinema, Minneapolis, Ratio, Gerd, Duplex, Seiji, Claude Young & Takasi Nakajima and Ben Sims.

Title:	Twisted Bleach
Label:	OSTGUT TON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSTGUT 027EP

This is Marcel Fengler's third 12" -- quality over quantity. The title track infuses a dirty Chicago sound with a house swing and a dry sense of humor. "Gridlock" has already earned the label "Berghain-approved" -- a heavy, atmospheric track that builds dense tension. "Chi Twine" experiments with broken rhythms and the artist's hip-hop past by fusing electro beats with techno qualities, making for an atmospheric, sci-fi track for the wee hours.

Title:	Enigma EP
Label:	OSTGUT TON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSTGUT 041EP

Berghain resident Marcel Fengler is one of the frontmen of raw and forward-pushing techno. This 12" is comprised of three jacking, factory-forged tracks, leading us further down his mysterious path. Like a hot-headed live jam in a humid Chicago basement, "Rapture" gathers up all the energy of classic house, infuses it with a no-nonsense progression and then throws it into the deep end. "RazKaz" jumps off the platter with nervous intensity as a warbling synthscape massages itself into your consciousness.
