Animal Farm: Ostgut Ton Label Night - Marcel Fengler, Ryan Elliott

  • Animal Farm return to the Sub Club bringing the full might of the Ostgut Ton Label with MARCEL FENGLER & new boy RYAN ELLIOTT. Marcel Fengler is one of the cornerstones of the now infamous Berghain nightclub in Berlin. Alongside the likes of Marcel Dettmann & Ben Klock he is considered to be one of the more underrated but no less understated Djs in the Ostgut roster. With over 15 years experience in electronic music, Marcel is inspired by early Detroit producers such as Robert Hood, Carl Craig & Kenny Larkin but always gives a nod to the more contemporary side of Techno. in 2007 he started to produce his own music. His Playground ep brings, industrial clangs to deep synth work perfect for big dance floors, where as Twisted Bleach & Yaki show his more Chicago inspired jack. Upcoming releases include a new ep on Ostgut & a remix for live outfit SKUDGE. Latest signing to the Ostgut label is Detroit ex pat RYAN ELLIOTT. “What matters most, above all else, is what comes through the speakers," says Detroit's Ryan Elliott. "It must be the right track at the right time, delivered in the right way.” Nobody knows this better than Elliott, whose distinction as an internationally respected DJ, remixer, and one-half of Spectral Sound’s A&R team has grown steadily over his decade-plus behind the decks. They don’t hand out “DJ’s DJ” reputations at the club door, and Elliott’s is well-earned and well-deserved.Ryan Elliott's early days included legendary residencies at Ann Arbor’s Goodnight Gracies and Detroit’s Shelter, which soon gave way to a rigorous international travel schedule. He began working crowds at clubs and festivals around the world, from NYC’s Guggenheim Museum to Barcelona’s Sonar by Night, and tailoring his approach to each show with a meticulous ear and a bottomless record collection. Influenced by his hometown staples (Axis, Purpose Maker, M Plant, and UR) along with international labels like Perlon, Playhouse, and early Kompakt, Ryan inhabits his kick drums, becoming an extension of the music and vice versa. 2009 saw Elliott relocating to Berlin to further his focus on DJing, production, and helming Spectral Sound’s growing roster from a newly international perspective. “Berlin and Detroit may not look the same, but they feel the same," he says. "The connection isn't just in the music, but also in both cities rough edges and honest hearts." Ryan Elliot's sound remains unchanged: bassline-driven techno and house reduced to their essence, thoughtfully calibrated to drive crowds out of their minds. The time is right, the tracks are right, and Ryan Elliott is exactly where he needs to be
