'DJ Marcelle: What a difference it makes to have a DJ hitting on the moment - records that astonish, full of bizarre and unexpected twists; one minute you're thinking how beautiful life sounds, the next how scary, then how strangely hilarious.'
(Ipswich gig review)
In August 2008 a Belgian music journalist wrote: ‘Marcelle is our guide for a better and more adventurous musical life. In Holland and far beyond she has proved to be the leading lady in such diverse genres as dubstep, garage punk, techno, hip hop, dubtechno and many more besides.’
Dutch deejay DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess certainly is truly eclectic. She is versatile, adventurous and surprising. On her latest album 'DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess Meets Her Soulmates At Faust Studio Deejay Laboratory' she mixes African tribal drumming with a cutting edge UK rapper, Chinese dub with Austrian accordion playing, bass heavy dubstep with animal noises, breakcore with postpunk and minimal techno with acid chants. And guess what? You can't stop dancing to her lively mix! She is a resident deejay in a Hamburg and Amsterdam club.
It is no wonder that she is often called 'the female John Peel'. Marcelle grew up listening to the Peel shows and later became friends with him and more than some of the music itself, Peel inspired Marcelle to keep an open ear for every kind of (new) music and always try to stay ahead of the audience. Marcelle is not one to remain in the trappings of a certain musical genre. No matter how much she likes styles like dubstep, weird electronica, leftfield hip hop, minimal and dub, when clubs play only one of these styles Marcelle gets a little bit bored.
Buying (loads of) records since 1977 she 'survived' punk, postpunk, techno, reggae, indie guitar, drum 'n' bass, neue Deutsche Welle, breakcore, clickhouse, grime, industrial, minimal, dubstep, world music et cetera and there is no doubt that she will easily cope with any future trends. As Scout Niblett sings in her version of 'Uptown Top Ranking', the last track on Marcelle’s album and often the last track of her gigs: 'I got no style, I'm strictly roots'.
When she played the 2007 Klangbad Festival (curated by Hans-Joachim Irmler, founder member of Krautrock legends Faust), Irmler was taken aback by the deejay style of Marcelle. He recognised in her the same cutting edge spirit of own his musical making and invited her to come back to Faust Studio in Scheer to record a mix album. The two agreed that that mix should be released on vinyl only, for aesthetic, audio and historical reasons.
The title of the album refers to old dub albums like 'King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown' or 'Rockers Meets King Tubbys In A Firehouse', et al, which Marcelle bought by the dozens in the 70’ and 80’s. The 'soulmates' in the title stand for all artists on the album and all the other nice and inspiring people Marcelle has met through music. She feels very deeply about these friendships, some of which go far beyond a shared love for underground music.
In addition to being a wicked club DJ, playing wild sets across the stages of Europe, Marcelle has been running a radio show called Another Nice Mess for more than 20 years. Through the wonders of internet this weekly show is now being listened to all over the world. Every Tuesday between 19 and 22 hours CET Marcelle hosts the show from her Amsterdam living room enabling listeners to e-mail her during the live programme, which has her running around the house looking for their requests in her extensive personal collection (15,000 records). The show is available for listening again on her website for the rest of the week.
In 2005 as a tribute to Marcelle’s radio show, English artist Listen With Sarah released a single, ‘Another Nice Mix’, made up entirely of samples from the programme. The record, featuring the voices of John Peel, Laurel & Hardy and Marcelle amongst others, was voted by listeners to number 13 in the BBC Radio One Festive 50 of 2005.
