Cheetah - Woi (OUT NOW)

The phrase "concept album" brings to mind long and complicated works by 60s rock bands or rap magna opera destined to be pored over by Dissect podcast. But what if the concept is based on a simple conceit? With Refreshing Part 1, their third EP and first vinyl release on Tresor, Fireground soundtrack an imaginary night spent at the Kraftwerk building on K&ouml;penicker Stra&szlig;e, moving between the smoke-filled basement of Tresor and the bass-heavy loft of Globus.

Opening piece, Never Sleep, has long been a feature of the Fireground live set and evolved over many months before reaching its final form in something of a "eureka" moment during a performance in Tresor. The track kicks off the EP with a hint to techno classic Knights of the Jaguar before quickly carving its own path through the foliage.

The tribal leitmotif continues on second track, Gaze, which again has subtle nods to classics whilst showcasing the duo's ability to bring new life to 90s house and techno tropes. 

Obsession dispenses with any pretence and gets right down to business from the opening second: Inspired by the Tresor dancefloor "when it reaches its peak; the strobe lights together with the smoke become so intense that for a few moments you can't see anything and completely abandon yourself to [your] sense of hearing." 
A counterpoint to the finessed Never Sleep, Obsession was recorded live with minimal post-production this track finds Fireground at their rawest and most uncompromising.

As if needing a spot of fresh air after the ferocity of Obsession, the second half of the EP leaves the dense and smoky atmosphere behind and ascends towards the sky beginning with Driving Stars; lighter though this may be there's no loss of drive.

Penultimate track Into a Diamond finds Fireground floating ever-upwards propelled by elements of jazz including a gorgeous electric piano solo that recall the airy mid-90s UK house of labels like Nuphonic, Heavenly, Faze Action, and Soma. 

Digital-only track, Wedding, closes the EP with the perfect end-of-night feeling, leaving us joyful, as if we are stepping out into the morning sun surrounded by close friends, the sounds of the evening orbiting our minds.

Makaton - Defiler (Lag Remix)

Italian-born, Berlin-based artist VSK delivers his first solo release of 2023. The DJ, producer and familiar face on 47’s back catalogue blends searing techno with trippy motifs, building signature soundscapes, knife-edged textures and misty atmospheres.

Following his collaboration with Flaminia last year on 47, VSK dips into a haunting sound palette on 47036, fusing foreboding feels with an astral touch. The opener, “Sfere a Contatto”, sets the tone with a claustrophobic melody and noise-driven background, while “Terza Variabile” melds squelchy synth notes with marching kickdrums, evoking a menacing mood. On the B-side, the punchy “Ottimizzazion” stitches drone-like notes against a gravelly background, creating tension and a sense of unease. The final track, “Codici e Figure”, displays VSK’s broken-beat stylings, mutating witchy aesthetics and mechanical whirrs to stimulate a surreal, skin-crawling trip.

47036 will be released on June 16th, available as limited edition vinyl and digital formats.

Nadia Struiwigh is the 456th guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

'Tresor has been a true anchor in my journey. After three years as a resident, the club has challenged me, shaped me, and given me the freedom to explore the full spectrum of my sound, even after many years in the scene. It’s a place where I’ve grown both as a musician and as a person. That’s why I dedicate this set to Tresor.

This recording channels the intensity of my recent releases (Blueprint – X1 SHIFT and The Third Room – Wind Whisper) and captures the side of me that lives and breathes techno. At the same time, it marks a moment before I turn a part of my focus back toward my electronica side, with my fifth album on the horizon, set to be released on my own imprint, Distorted Waves.'

I used to make music and occasionally I shared it with whoever wanted to listen. I remember not caring a lot about audio quality, but having fun, loving it and messing with processes such as creating and uploading a track using no more than one MacBook charge.

Now it's 2023, and as I understand it I really don't have a good excuse for not doing more of the things I love.
