After growing up in a record store, facilitating to develop the sound of Mo's Ferry Prod. and launching his own label Clap Your Hands Marcel Knopf is big in business now! So it was time to spent some hours in the studio again in between all his touring through Germany… And up it goes! With the club smasher 'Command' Knopf
blows some ears away and leaves the crowd in disbelief. 'Aint Love' joins the dancefloor as well as it is the typical Knopf-alike oldschool “Frickel-House”. The digital bonus track 'Sacritool' represents his sound orientation on Clap Your Hands - modern, tooly Deephouse!
Tracklisting:
A1: Command
B1: Ain't Love

Like his taste of music Marcel Knopf is stylistically diversified when it comes to the selection of remixers for his debut album. Gregor Tresher, Luna City Express and Jeff Samuel are definitely away on different fields. Nevertheless you will find HOUSE written on the drawer, if you want to open it. Gregor Tresher really dusts in his version of „Dusty Dance“. Thereby the rocking original gets a more hi-fi sounding touch. Luna City Express release „Rec-chord“ from its melodic chord parts and concentrate on the groove and vocal essence. So you will understand the track even in the last row. Jeff Samuel plays with „Rec-chord“ on a grooving playground as well. But he includes harmonic elements as a vital component. Both remixers take pleasure in the break of the original. Unfortunately not on the vinyl, but online you will get two more versions made by Raudive and Dapayk. More

It is always a good feeling when your anticipation is confirmed. After his enchantingly kicking „Dusty Dance / Rec- Chord“ pre-release single Marcel Knopf presents his whole musical world and how his heart beats in it in 2009. All this manifested by the full blossoming of a silver disc. In an interview regarding the release of his first Mix CD „Bits to Phono“ in 2006 he announced: "Minimal is super, but maybe not sexy in the long run!" For quite some time now, many producers feel the same way and comb ‚Nag Minimal’ with their ‚House brush’, instead of the click clack sounds you will get pimped-up tools using inflationary genre blending heading towards Latin music... Despite playing around with brass sections as well this is exactly what Marcel Knopf doesn't do. He prefers to focus on a straight funkiness taken from the treasures of House & Techno without presenting the album as a misty-eyed, romanticising retrospect. Sure he digs in deeply but what matters to him is a seductive dance music that works
today and tomorrow. Revival and recurrence - he has under control and works with classic essences of a modern narrativity of electronic dance music, whose evolution lasts for over 20 years now. He is just a freak with a longtime experience as a DJ, who remains focussed in front of the computer and states happily: "I House you! It's music. Maybe you like it." Thanks to his interest in diverse electronic sounds, this work presents a perfect production design as well as unexpected caprices and obtains a genre-overlapping consciousness, that definitely stands for the self-confident idiosyncratic statement: "You can't quarrel about musical taste - you just have it or not!" Except track 1 and 10, this album unfits ruminant activities and is quite the opposite of bone sedation. Strobe instead of candlelight, but at the same time suitable for finding a like-minded person for the rest of the night. More

There is a date this year in autumn you should keep in mind: the release of Marcel Knopf's first album on Mo's Ferry. Being a DJ Marcel Knopf is used to fathom genre boundaries and now and then he dives into Dubstep, Electronica and realms of Pop. With the single "dusty dance" you get a foretaste of the upcoming congenial longplayer. In its own way, his single enables an acoustic addiction of a thrilling style mix. These two tracks move in between smart Techno and grooving illustrious House and points out, that Knopf doesn't want to be bound to one musical direction. The title track and A-side of the single "dusty dance" is one of the floor fillers of his album. Get ready for an enthralling groove, a monster break and a hook, where any bias against trumpets in the club is blown away. On the B-side you’ll find the oldschool frickling House track "rec-chord", which reflects Knopf's addiction for the beloved vinyl format. Go out and get yourself a physical copy, to hear this nice and comfortable sizzling noise. It’s the best way to get a charming club feeling. And always remember: who buys first, may listen longer!
