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.

BEN SIMS Pres RUN IT RED 104. Oct 2023

"A musical journey that goes from Midnight to 5AM, condensed in slightly more than an hour. This is what I loved to do while working on this podcast: letting myself go, following the vibes of my recent discoveries - whether from present or past - and mixing them with unreleased tracks I’m lucky to receive and enjoy. I pictured myself in my favourite club night while I play the tracks I love the most and I tried my best to recreate the same energy. Hope it gets to you"

Moving freely in the flux of unpredictable creativity and constant wide spreading interests, Elisa Bee has been mixing for over 15 years, beginning in her native Sardinia before moving to Milan. First picking up the decks back in 2007, it wasn't until 2012 that
she decided to delve into the world of music production.
Charmed by her work, UK-based DJ Haus signed her ‘Mind Game EP’ to influential imprint Unknown To The Unknown. Since then, she has released music under Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains, Posthuman’s Balkan Vinyl, Ben Sims' both Symbolism and Hardgroove imprints, Truncate's label and UTTU again – and she remixed artists like Ewan McVicar and WTCHCRFT.
Her own productions have been much welcomed by international audiences and artists alike, gaining considerable airplay both on the dancefloor and on the radio (BBC Radio1, NTS, Rinse FM, Kiosk Radio). In 2023 Elisa debuted on Boiler Room and her RA Podcast for Resident Advisor attested her as one of Italy’s finest selectors and producers: “[...] exploring and then refining a style of techno that has that rare, hard-to-put- your-finger-on quality: a soulful reverence, paying homage to the old days and the originators without just copying them”.
In October 2023 Elisa released a new EP on Ben Sims’ Hardgroove imprint, right after her amazing Berghain debut.
Record collector of every genre, from jazz to reggae through hip-hop, rock and obviously house and techno, Elisa is fascinated by the sounds of the past as she is by the experimental and quirky waves shaping the future music. It’s very difficult then to find a label perfectly matching her description, but for sure she’ll keep on rocking dance floors around the world, releasing new records and generally spreading good vibes wherever she is.

Recent highlights and upcoming releases:
⁃ Berghain debut on October 15th 2023
⁃ ‘Devotion’ EP out on Hardgroove (Oct. 20th 2023)
⁃ ILA 029 EP [I Love Acid - Vinyl Only, 303 copies] out late
2023/early 2024
⁃ Currently working on a collab EP with Rolando

Originally gaining DJ fame for playing standout techno sets on four vinyl turntables, many do not realise Cristian Varela is also a successful composer scoring soundtracks for film, theatre and television. He has even recorded a symphonic album at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.
-
Techno is always evolving and like the genre, Cristian has moved with the times. In 2018 he plans to relaunch his "Black Codes Experiments" project, which originally started in 2003 is a return to his roots with a series of gigs and vinyl only releases featuring artists such as Regis, Mark Broom, Shufflemaster, Tensal, Abstract Division, Exium and Arnaud Le Texier, amongst others.
-
When talking about Cristian Varela's roots, longstanding fans of the Techno genre will need little introduction for his seminal remixes of artists such as Ben Sims and Speedy J, and although he has spent many years leaving in London, he has never forgotten his humble roots. Often returning to Spain to give guest talks at many of the country's leading music schools and colleges.
-
More than just a remix artist, Cristian Varela has released numerous solo EP's on labels ranging from Carl Cox's Intec to his own Pornographic Recordings, and although the relaunch of his Black Codes Experiments imprint will draw some of attention from Pornographic Recordings, it will not stop the label from continuing to feature new music from the likes of The Advent, Ken Ishii, Gary Beck, Marco Bailey, UMEK, and many more.
Also planned for 2018 will be the premiere of a special documentary film celebrating Cristian Varela's 25 year career in music, which features testimonials and commentary from friends and colleagues including Carl Cox, Chris Liebing and Joseph Capriati, plus numerous others who have been instrumental in his career.
-
With a gig schedule that takes him all over the world, for those who are patient, you should be able to catch Cristian in your home city or country. For those who need a more regular dose of his music selections, you can catch his weekly radio show that's syndicated in Europe, USA, South America and Asia via more than 100 specialised techno stations in more than 50 countries.
-
Taking into account all of the above, it comes as no surprise Cristian Varela has won more than 40 awards including "Best Worldwide Techno DJ" at the DJ Awards in 2007 and again in 2013.
