Bside Incoming: Marcel Vogel

This weeks episode is a big one, EPISODE 75! And we’re ecstatic to celebrate with an incredibly talented DJ and devoted record collector. A man with a reputation for having impeccable taste and enchanting delivery: Marcel Vogel.

The native German moved to Amsterdam in the pursuit of Audio Engineering mastery and founded two record labels on his journey: Lumberjacks in Hell followed by Intimate friends, closely connected yet stylistically distinct projects, projects that house some incredible artists, Karizma, Soulphiction, Eddie C and Jamie 3:26… to name just a handful.

He was a hip-hop collector before becoming a house selector, and then found a soulful disco groove from which Lumberjacks in Hell was born. His style is defined by an eclecticism that can light up any dance floor. Marcel threw parties with the likes of Axel Roboom back in the Berlin days, but more recently under the name of Cheetah amongst the vibrant nightlife of the Dutch capital.

Almost ten years would pass upon an increasingly remarkable DJ career, before the landmark in a lifelong musical exploration of his first production. The Bside of which is a remix from one of our very own guests, a downtempo disco trance from Marcel Vogel and Ruf Dug:

It would be hard to pin down a genre, mood or even style to this episode but it never strays from the authentic atmosphere that surrounds Marcel Vogel. The passion for music is evident and we’re lucky enough to grab a glimpse of his incredible record collection.

Enjoy!

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
