Squaric

228 episodes later, we finally get to meet up again with the man from Buenos Aires based in Barcelona, Squaric, who has done everything but sit still in the last 5 years.

Here is a little recap for those who missed out; It all started at the end of 2007 when Rodrigo, due to his restless way of living life, organized his first rave in an abandoned gas station, from that moment until today he has been creating different projects and playing around the world nonstop. When he's behind turntables he loves to create and play with different moods and atmospheres, feeling the energy of the crowd is the fundamental element to completing his work. Over the years Squaric had the pleasure of playing at festivals and clubs, such as Tresor, Unpolished, Contact Tokyo, Dommune, Griessmuehle, Razzmatazz, About Blank, Suicide, BRET, Radion, VOFOL Seoul, & Metro Kyoto just to name a few.

His sets are filled with powerful and high-energy sounds held by well-crafted techniques, which led him to quickly gain a reputation for blending a wide range of genres in his vinyl sets, from Techno and Electro to more experimental electronica and IDM.

DUSK247 By Squaric

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.

Prophet is proud to present the next release with the techno master Jonas Kopp and his Momentum EP.

“The movements are reflections of transfers and changes of our own positions regard to inner visions and ideas that we temporarily affirm as true creative elements that mould and shape our reality.

The sum of the various manifested movements since the beginning of our own creation, creating the MOMENTUM reality scenario, being the main creators of the millions of frames that constitute and give structure to our field of experimentation as conscious intelligent bioenergetic beings.”

Words by Jonas Kopp.

Tresor Records is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalogue of past releases that no other label in electronic music would turn down.
Three of the finest in this collection were contributed by Surgeon "Basictonalvocabulary", "Balance" and "Force + Form", which all came out between 1997 and 1999.

Surgeon's inimitable combination of Detroit techno and post-industrial sounds emanating from his British homeland found its fullest expression in these masterful trio of releases.

Following the release of Surgeon's first album in 5 years "Crash Recoil" earlier in 2023, Tresor Records have decided that it is high time to give these seminal albums another airing.

We’re excited to present the latest release from the accomplished Moroccan artist Anas M, a true staple in underground circles with over 200 releases to his name.

This new drop on Alternative Ground Label is a masterclass in hypnotic minimalism and groove-driven house. Anas M crafts immersive soundscapes that blend deep basslines, subtle textures, and dancy rhythms — perfect for the dancefloor.

Anas M added a really groovy vocal mix with Jawadova that injects extra energy while keeping that signature hypnotic feel.

Anas M keeps pushing boundaries and his journey with us is just heating up — can’t wait for you to hear this one.
