Marcel Dettmann's Sound at Loud Garden Festival

Ahead of his set at the Loud Garden Festival, we met Marcel Dettmann, a pillar of global techno and long-time resident of Berlin's Berghain.

Marcel Dettmann, one of the pillars of the international techno scene, performed at the Loud Garden Festival. As an emblematic resident of Berlin's legendary club Berghain, he has embodied for over two decades a purist, deep and hypnotic techno that has influenced generations of DJs and producers.

The festival, whose line-up highlights major figures of electronic music, welcomed the artist for a highly anticipated set. Dettmann, also co-founder of the label Ostgut Ton, presented a selection of tracks with dark, minimalist textures, true to the sonic aesthetic that has earned him worldwide recognition.

Born in 1977 in East Germany, Dettmann grew up in East Berlin and began his career in the early 1990s. His residency at Berghain, which started in 1999, made him one of the ambassadors of Berlin techno, whose contours he has redefined with a radical yet precise approach.

While the event was notable for the quality of its programming, it also reflects the enduring vitality of techno in Europe, where festivals continue to play a key role in spreading this musical culture. Dettmann remains a reference, as evidenced by his many sets around the world and his critically acclaimed productions.

Beyond his performance, this encounter underscores the importance of venues and events dedicated to electronic music in preserving its legacy and fostering its renewal. By inviting artists of this calibre, the Loud Garden confirms its place in the European festival landscape.
