Marcel Dettmann has launched a new alias, My Own Shadow.

Its first release will be a five-track EP called Approaching, which will be released through !K7. The record explores techno and ambient music, while the new alias is an attempt to fold his alternative musical influences, like Depeche Mode and The Cure, plus early post-punk and industrial, into the club-friendly sounds he’s most known for.

“I’ve reached a point where I don’t just want to release tracks or play club sets,” he said in a statement. “I want to create a space where all of my artistic expressions meet.”

Listen to lead track ‘DMT’ below.

!K7 will release Approaching on November 7, 2025.
