Marcel Fengler

Marcel Fengler has been quoted as „one of the finest techno DJs“ (Resident Advisor), and has earned international respect for his „well-crafted body of production work“ (FACT) and introducing his unique and „multi-faceted personality“ (Electronic Beats).
Over the last two decades, Fengler developed a versatile and dynamic style of DJing that made him one of the first resident DJs of Berlin’s infamous Berghain / Panorama Bar in 2005. Fengler is capable of changing pace, atmosphere, and energy reacting to the mood on the dance floor: whether industrial-drenched hardness, broken beats, gloomy dubs or melodic and funky grooves – Fengler draws from a varied repertoire. His first singles were released on Ostgut Ton and Mote Evolver and his debut album „Fokus“ (2013), in particular, was a statement of intent, full of emotional and unexpected contrasts. To showcase his melodic groove, beat tracks and his straighter cuts, he founded his imprint Index Marcel Fengler (IMF) in 2011 – a platform that not only continues evolving with his timeless techno approach but also represents a creative hub to introduce new and young talents as well as his other alias AZUR started in 2018 and focusing on more melodic soundscapes. As a DJ and producer, techno is for Marcel an unconditional passion as well as an essential part of his identity. He’s not bound to a linear one-dimensional sound, instead he’s constantly seeking for new ways to express his musical storytelling skills and show his true vision of techno, which makes Marcel Fengler one of today’s most exciting electronic artists.

Review: There are two defining aspects to Marcel Fengler; firstly he retains a more humble profile to his more celebrated fellow Berghain residents Klock and Dettmann, and secondly original material from Fengler may be an infrequent proposition, but it's almost always worthy of your attention. This latter aspect is certainly true of the three track Frantic EP, a worthy return to Ostgut Ton, following last year's Berghain O5 mix and a clutch of notable EPs. Commencing with the title track, Fengler draws on a canny complement of insistent loops and sumptuous synth arrangements, while the rugged drum patterns make "Frantic" seem all too appropriate a title. Do check the alien techno funk of "6 In A Row", a track which masterfully swings between the thick groove and fast fingered smears of neon synths, while the glistening beauty of "Mosaique" offers some nice contrast to the previous onslaught.
