The buzz around this release has been almost deafening in the last few months, with Marcel's stock in trade steadily rising as his marathon 8+hr sets at Berghain become the stuff of legend, his production and mixing skills have become feverishly sought after. Having witnessed the man's selections at work on a number of occasions now we can confirm that he lives up to the hype and Berghain have attempted to slice off a little of this buzz with this 70min+ mix crafted from a pitch perfect lineup of techno classics past and present layered and delivered by the man himself. The tone is set with Tobias' 'Balance' recently heard on the taster 12" a couple of weeks back, digging a bass heavy rut into which he slots Norman Nodge's Crispy Bacon alike 'Native Rhythm Electric' and on through funked Detroit tech from Pied Plat and alltime classic 'Kat' by Luke Slater's Planetary Assault Systems. From here the selections run fathoms deep through bold techno advancements from Substance, Samuli Kemppi and Redshape's stunning 'Plonk', but the real moments of genius are saved for his own production with his mix of Deetron's 'Let's get over it' with that sickeningly awesome bass riff that causes some freaked reactions when deployed at the just the right moment, alongside a brand spunking fresh cut from T++ on a proper techno mission with 'Mo' 1' and it couldn't be a Berghain mix without the darkside jackers anthem 'Tantakatan' from Radioslave. Basically each and every cut here is just prime floor working material that begs to played at the loudest neighbour annoying volumes possible and for that Mr Dettmann we saulte ya. A ball achingly cool and completely essential purchase as ever from the good people at OstGut Ton.
