Dj Marcelle / Another Nice Mess : A different fridge for cheese
Is DJ Marcelle a masochist? She hates musicals and called her 2022 album 'DJ Marcelle: The Musical.' She dislikes cheese and calls this album 'A Different Fridge For Cheese.' Probably the answer has more to do with her wicked sense of humour and her love for original track and album titles. The singular producer and DJ from Amsterdam lives in that rare league of artists who are out there, doing their own thing, continually pushing the boundaries of electronic music and having a great time in doing so as well. This album is like any Marcelle production (and DJ-set): it's hard to pigeonhole. Dub, techno and avant-garde influences are clearly present but the overall feeling is one of freedom, excitement, adventure and playfulness. Ideas bounce off another and Marcelle is certainly not content with one single formula. Each track becomes a new beginning, a new adventure. Where can we take this? What if we try that? Bristling with possibilities, structures are pushed and pulled and explode excitedly. Album opener and closer 'Muslimgauze Was Right Part I and II' are short pieces of rhythmic noise, 'Big Room Techno Looking For A Room' is a weird and very danceable techno track and the bouncy 'Nice Feet' is not only another great dance track but also the second tribute on the LP ('Muslimgauze Was Right' the other one); this one is an ode to the best female footballer in the world, Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati. 'New Equipment' describes the mood of the track perfectly. For a The Fall fan the track title 'You Don't Have To Be Weird To Be Weird' should ring a bell. Insect sounds dominate stop-start track 'To Bee Or Not To Bee.' 'A Difficult Fridge For Cheese' (nearly the title track!) is a storming avant-garde track featuring voices of some of her (musical) friends like two members of avant dub outfit Holy Tongue and fans and friends she met whilst DJ-ing in amongst others Brazil and Portugal, asking in their native language to leave the cheese in the fridge, por favor. This brings us to the album title. The title...

Dj Marcelle / Another Nice Mess : Dj marcelle: the musical
Tina Turner. Princess Diana. Johan Cruijff. Jesus. Abba. Spider-Man. Jerry Springer. Mormons. A brothel. Monty Python. A gay remake of Shakespeare. Anne Frank. Nothing and no-one seems to be able to escape the fangs of the musical industry. So it's no real surprise that the last woman standing, DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess, has also fallen victim to this evil fate. The album, after last year's 'Explain The Food, Bitte' her second release with Berlin label Play Loud! Productions, is as surprising and up-to-date as ever. Marcelle's productions come into existence quite quickly, like sketches capturing a moment. Take, for example, 'The Quarantine House Party Try-Out,' a bouncy track dealing with those illegal parties people organised in their own homes during the COVID period. With the pandemic now hopefully over, the DJ/producer travels the world again. Marcelle deals with this in 'Soups On Tour,' related to a link on her website where she documents all soups she eats on the road (and in restaurants). It's this individual approach to her creative process that gives her artistic fulfillment; her D.I.Y. attitude is inherent to everything she does and is reflected in her creative process as a whole, from the music itself to how it is presented: on the sleeve of 'DJ Marcelle: The Musical' we see her literally 'dropping' a musical. The freedom she grants herself is essential, she never had the difficulty of coping with certain expectations or being stuck with a certain perceived musical (ha!) profile, because she has always been able to make sure people didn't have any anticipation of where her music (and DJ-sets) would go in the first place. So it's no real surprise that, following danceable tracks like 'Voted Best DJ School (25% Off') and weird album opener/warning 'This Record Is Scratched' on side A, we get only one track on side B: the 17-minute-plus technoid stomper 'Smacznego!' (Polish for 'enjoy your meal'). It's a hypnotic, continually shifting track which, even when it ends after such a long time, leaves y...

Dj Marcelle / Another Nice Mess : Explain the food, bitte
This singular producer and DJ from Amsterdam lives in that rare league of artists who are out there, doing their own thing, continually pushing the boundaries of electronic music and having a great time in doing so as well. 'Explain The Food Bitte,' her third full-length in just over two years, is as versatile as ever. The album also contains a surprising collaboration with Michael Vincent Waller, a modern classical composer/pianist from New York.
