Marcel Dettmann - Linux / Ellipse  cover
RA Review
"Linux / Ellipse" marks the halfway point in Modeselektor's quest to present 50 dance floor weapons to the world. Returning to the label after 2011's "Deluge" / "Duel," Marcel Dettmann seems the perfect choice for such a watershed moment—after all, who else has such an unerring knack for turning out..

I rather like it. Not much more than tools honestly, sound like they could have appeared on MDR, but definitely effective. Good DJ fodder.

Any kid wielding a cracked copy of FL Studio and a hooky sample pack off the net could knock this dismal, tracky dreck up in an afternoon.

If they were by Kevin, 17 from Bolton they'd go straight in the bin, and righty so. But it's Marcel Dettmann, so they get released on 50 Weapons.

True. His weakest record.
Not even worth a 3.5 maybe a 2.

I guess the streak of awesome eps had to come to an end at one point. Also these are way too clean to appear on MDR.

... all a matter of taste!
To quote my friend Gerd Janson: 'Die Platte ist großartig, Techno mit Eiern!' - 'Excellent record, this is techno with balls!'
I personally like the record as well, it sounds like a homage to the glory days of those Dance Mania records we couldn't decide wether it is house or techno!
The record was also played NYE at Berghain/Panorama Bar and people went nuts ... so I guess some people liked it quite a lot ;)

Then we came up with the term 'tech house' and everybody hated it.

actually i think you're right, dettmann played ellipse in paris a month ago or something and everyone went crazy at the one minute mark with the tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac

but IMO its still true that lots of people could pull this off on fruityloops in a day...

Linux is a great track. Sounds awsome on a big system and works well when moving in between stuff. I played it in the main room at Cable.

Its Dettmann yet again showing his great dynamic production range. Hes by far one of the best and leading Techno producers there is.

made me laugh


its all about opinion ... in my eyes I wouldn't buy it. So many other better Marcel tracks, for me lets hope this was just an off day. Still one of my favourite producer's

Yawn, in my opinion Dettmann hasn't produced a slamming piece of techno since Lattice, i did enjoy Deluge on his last 50 weapons and the Range EP on Ostgut but I find most of his recent output of the last couple of years quite boring.

Dettmann releases, I am always pleased! They have something new and different! I am pleased to enjoy the sound of this vinyl! Marcel as always on top, does not lower the bar!
