If Berlin techno revels in industrial atmospheres—clanging metal, dusty gray surfaces and warehouse-grade reverb—then Marcel Dettmann is the music’s foreman. Behind the decks at Berghain nightclub, he has masterminded a scintillating fusion of minimalist grooves with post-punk gloom. “Quicksand”, his 2006 debut single, wrings major tension out of monotone plucks and bursts of white noise and “Throb” strips down to just bulbous bass synth and muted kicks. It’s not all so austere, though: “Linux”, from 2013, balances its stone-faced repetitions with a welcome hint of swagger.
