Surprise, adventure, entertainment and education: Four keywords often used to describe Dutch DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess who releases her third double vinyl album on the German Klangbad label on October 1. She is as much, or even more of, a musician as she is a DJ. By putting different styles of music in a different context, she changes the way we experience those individual styles. Live she only uses vinyl. In the studio there's hardly any digital manipulation, the recording is all done live (often in one take), with three turntables, some sixty records, two hands and an abundance of creativity! She is an original, skilled mixer, with a very distinctive style of her own, avoiding most DJ-cliches and stale rules. As much inspired by avant-garde art movements as fluxus and dada, the real life absurdism of Monty Python as by the wild experiments of dub, post-punk and the latest developments in electronic dance music – Marcelle has always been following musical developments very closely and has a keen ear for innovative and "new" sounds. With her extensive record collection of some 15,000 vinyl and counting, Marcelle has a strong historical knowledge of past and contemporary underground music. On stage and on her records Marcelle transcends a sense of openness and a feeling of freedom, which often have her described as "totally enriching","‘a true ear opener", a real "pioneer". Marcelle is a resident DJ in a lot of cities, amongst them Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg and Linz. Besides playing live all over the place, she also does weekly and monthly radio shows for various radio stations in Europe. On a John Peel discussion group on the internet she was recently described as the "best post-Peel DJ". Marcelle is hard to pigeonhole. A fitting description would be "avant-garde ethno bass" - but you decide.
