Tresor (German for safe or vault) is an underground techno nightclub in Berlin and a record label.

History:

The club was founded in March 1991 in the vaults of the former department store Wertheim at Leipziger Strasse 126-128 in Mitte, the central part of East Berlin, next to the Potsdamer Platz. The history of the club goes back to 1988 when the electronic music label Interfisch opened the Ufo Club in Berlin. Ufo was the original centre of Berlin house and techno, but due to financial problems that club closed in 1990.
After Ufo closed, Interfisch's head, Dimitri Hegemann, and some investors in the club found the new space in East Berlin. This was advantageous timing, as it was only a few months before Germany unified. The vaults under the Wertheim department store proved to be the perfect location for a club, and Tresor quickly became the place to be in Berlin. Tresor continued to be a popular club, having expanded and reconstructed continuously several times to include an outdoor garden area, and a second "Globus" floor. The Tresor floor in the basement was reserved specifically for hard techno, industrial and acid music, while Globus was featured mainly more mellow house sound. The record label Tresor Records was founded soon after the club first opened, in October 1991. Featured artists on the label include Jeff Mills, Blake Baxter, Juan Atkins, Robert Hood, Drexciya, Stewart Walker, Joey Beltram, DJ Surgeon, Pacou, Cristian Vogel and many others.
In 2004 the documentary "Tresor Berlin: The Vault & the Electronic Frontier" was released. Directed by Mike Andrawis, it features interviews with Hegemann, Carola Stoiber, and DJs & artists associated with the club & label. The film covers the period from Hegemann's involvement with the Fishladen and UFO clubs in Berlin-Kreuzberg to the final months prior to Tresor's closure.
Tresor closed on 16 April 2005, after several years' prolonged short-term rent. The city sold the land to an investor group to build offices on the Leipziger Straße location. It was open for each night of April 2005, with the final event starting the Saturday night with queues stretching all the way down the road, and still going Monday morning.
Tresor reopened on 24 May 2007 in the decommissioned southern tract of the combined heat and power plant Heizkraftwerk Berlin-Mitte in Köpenicker Straße. 
Since November 2019 the club has a subsidiary in the city of Dortmund called Tresor.West. 
In September 2022, Tresor published a photobook, Tresor: True Stories, to document the past 30 years of its history.

Jeff Mills Live @ Tresor, Berlin Germany 14-12-2000 Part 1

Jeff Mills, along with Robert Hood, Carl Craig, and Joey Beltram, is one of the biggest American names in techno. Championed for his music's relentless pursuit of hardness and his stripped-down, almost industrial DJ sets, Mills is the latest in a long line of Detroit-bred talent to take on an international reputation.

A founding member of noted Motor City institution Underground Resistance, Mills helped build the artist roster and label ideology (as well as much of its back catalog) with partners "Mad" Mike Banks and Robert "Noise" Hood before moving to New York in 1992 to pursue more vigorously his solo and DJ career (with a resident spot at the legendary Limelight and a recording contract with the noted German label Tresor). (Although rumors of bad blood between the early UR crew have been denied by all involved, Mills' decision to split was apparently total, with Banks all but repudiating his involvement with Mills and Mills distancing himself from the continuing political militancy of Banks and the UR organization.) 

Mills' UR-related releases (including "The Punisher" and "Seawolf") are stripped-down and erratic, fusing elements of hardcore acid and industrial techno to the sparse Detroit aesthetic. Not surprisingly, his post-UR sound hasn't eased a bit, although UR's penchant for the four-track has been replaced by higher-quality production.

Prior to his involvement in UR, Mills was a DJ at Detroit public radio station WDET (he was also studying architecture at the time), spinning everything from Meat Beat Manifesto and Nine Inch Nails to Chicago house and underground Detroit techno. He began producing in the mid-'80s, working with Tony Srock on the project the Final Cut. 

Mills met Banks through a local garage group Members of the House, who Banks was working with in the late '80s. Mills remixed a track on a Members 12-inch, and his and Banks' shared love for Chicago soul and the harder edge of Detroit techno blossomed into Underground Resistance as a combined business and creative enterprise. The pair, along with Robert Hood, recorded several EPs and singles together, including tracks such as "Waveform," and "Sonic," before Mills defected to New York in 1992 to pursue a residency at the Limelight club and a solo career recording for Tresor and his own label, Axis. Mills' discography includes two full-length volumes of Waveform Transmissions for Tresor, a live album and rarities collection for the British label React, and the first album in a new contract with Sony Japan, as well as a handful of 12-inch EPs on Axis and several collaborations with Robert Hood on his M-Plant label. In 2000, Mills took more memorable action by scoring a new soundtrack for Fritz Lang's 1926 film Metropolis, screened around the world at venues including the Museum of Music in Paris, London's Royal Albert Hall, and the Vienna International Film Festival.

"Clouds" is a labour of love of mine. 

Describing the moments in life where you can feel overwhelmed by the lack of light shining through before the realisation that the clouds will ultimately part.

It was encouraged by a beautiful piece of spoken word by @hangovergang's TomMcDonalds called "Anxiety"

"I wake up feeling panicked
My pills are in the cabinet
Takes all the strength I have to just
Ignore them as I pass it
Man, I hope this feeling passes
Soon, been hell and back, it's barely noon
I'm scared to go outside, sh*t
I'm surprised I even left my room
And it feels like no one understand how
Bad I'd love to join my friends
It's hard to breathe
I'm anxious and I'll end
Up staying home instead"

Jeff Mills & Frankie Bones - Live @ Panoramix,  8-8-1998

Aidan started his musical life early by trying to snatch music recorded from the radio before the DJ would talk over the music on an old cassette recorder. Music technology has changed over the years and so have Aidan's tastes. 
Growing up during his teens metal and later punk and hardcore music where his choice. This is where he came across the D.I.Y ethos and started promoting punk and hardcore gigs himself and producing his own “Zine” this went on for a good few years and it was while working in the Ormond Multimedia Centre in 1996 and seeing Dave Clarke DJ this is what broadened his musical tastes to include house and Techno. 
Aidan started clubbing around Dublin in clubs such as UFO, Sides, Alien, The Temple of Sound and The Kitchen, this is where his passion for Techno and House music became stronger.  
In 1997 he took up the Decks and mixing trying to mix and blend records with a friend and fellow DJ Gedge's help and equipment, starting out on belt driven Ariston decks he found it a challenge but when he changed to Technics 1210's there was no going back. 
Starting out mixing Techno and House he made his DJ début in the (in)famous 13th floor Fusion club situated on O'Connell Street in Dublin spinning Techno. 
Over the years of playing House and Techno he has played in clubs situated mostly in Dublin
Mono, temple bar music centre, The POD, Molloy’s, The U Bar, The Old New Orleans, Viva    
Later with a friend and fellow DJ and friend Gedge they brought the Do it yourself punk ethos and Aidan helped Gedge to promote and play House and Techno at a club called “Genesis” and brought it to various venues around Dublin, The 13th Floor, The Parnell Mooney. Switch, The Melody Bar, Peader Kearnies.
During this time there was a healthy legitimate and  pirate radio scene in Dublin and Aidan has played on a few of them. Radioactive 101 FM, Power FM, Radio Na Life, Tonik FM and has had two mixes played on 2FM with a short interview playing mostly House and Techno on these stations.
It was during this time of playing on radio stations Aidan hooked up with DJ Leevi who ran his own radio show on Nova 94.6 FM. He was invited to play on his show. Together they would play everything from Jimi Hendrix to Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, Breaks and anything else that they would feel people needed to hear. 
It was during these sessions on Nova F.M that his musical tastes expanded and he got a residency in   
The Blue Note in Galway playing funk, soul, hip hop and breaks. This led him to play in different venues in Galway city The GPO Massimos and The Victoria Hotel. During this time he has also  played in Longford Arms Hotel The Stables situated in Mullingar Dolans warehouse in Limerick and started to play in various venues around Dublin  The Good Bits,  U Bar, 4 Dame Lane,
