Surprise, adventure, entertainment, and education. These four key words perfectly capture the essence of Dutch producer and DJ Marcelle / Another Nice Mess. Demonstrating masterful skill by operating three turntables simultaneously both in the studio and live on stage, Marcelle blurs the line between DJ and musician, fusing disparate styles so seamlessly that they feel inherently connected. Her distinctive style completely bypasses traditional DJ clichés, effortlessly blending environmental sounds and avant-garde noise with free jazz, leftfield techno, weird hip-hop, cutting-edge electronic rhythms, new African dance music, and dubstep.
Deeply inspired by avant-garde art movements like Dada and Fluxus, the real-life absurdism of Monty Python, and the wild sonic experiments of dub and post-punk, Marcelle relies on her massive collection of over 20,000 vinyl records to deliver sets backed by profound historical knowledge of underground music. Appointed as a «lifetime resident DJ» by Uganda’s legendary Nyege Nyege Festival and celebrated online as the «best post-Peel DJ», her unclassifiable performances are best described in her own words as «avant-garde ethno bass». A true pioneer and an ear-opening force ready to challenge expectations and shatter rules on the dancefloor.
