Berghain resident DJ Marcel Dettmann has had a phenomenal year with major releases on Beatstreet, Brut ! and his own Marcel Dettmann Records having paved a darker, more stripped back techno sound that others have now followed.

His recent remix of Modeselektor ‘The Black Block’ (listen to it in the player after the jump) is a prime example of his ability to create futuristic techno rhythms that keep the mind busy as the body moves, and being drafted in to mix the ‘Berghain 02’ compilation in June can’t have hurt his international reputation.

Pioneer’s marketing website DJsounds.com managed to score a rare video interview with Dettmann at Berlin’s legendary techno institution Berghain, although from the footage it’s clear they went when the club wasn’t officially open (Berghain has a very strict no-cameras policy inside).

Beatportal interviewed Marcel Dettmann back in August and he told us that Berghain is, “For me the perfect club, because the people are a really good mix – gay, young, old, all kinds. You have tourists, native Berliners, a really good mixture. You can go around and you can meet some people from all over the world. It’s amazing, it’s so crazy.”
