Dropping in January 2023 is the reissue of DJ Shufflemaster's album EXP, which Tresor Records first released in 2001. This expanded reissue comes as a 3xLP with new artwork by Japanese designer Sk8thing and combines the original CD release tracks with three tracks from the Angel Gate 12" from the same year, including a remix by Surgeon of Experience. Also present is a previously unreleased version of Innervisions, which replaces the assonant synths of the original with a looped vocal sample upfront. Climb and Guiding Light will feature as digital-only tracks. 

Tatsuya Kanamori remains a critical component of the Tokyo techno underground scene, initially coming to the fore through the Subvoice label before releases with Tresor, Theory Recordings, and Japanese record labels such as Disq and Reel Musiq. At the moment of the original release, DJ Shufflemaster considered the record to draw in disparate and latent ideas into a fully encompassing mesh - "I would like to show my thoughts and everything that I am through the album. If it doesn't reflect my ideas and the reasons that I live for, there is no meaning for me to create an album. Therefore, EXP doesn't contain just one theme or concept." 

EXP represents an uncompromising and psychedelic slant on techno, with a purist's focus on the dancefloor. It bridges many avenues within the techno genre, from the minimalist, dubby terrains of tracks like P.F.L.P. and Opaqueness, to more fierce percussive works that share a kinship with the sonic movements in Berlin, Detroit and the UK. Beyond the technical, pared-down techno found in tracks such as EXP and Onto The Body, the album leaps into unpredictable territories frequently. Angel Exit carries mystical UK steppers moods as if it were a long-lost dubplate of The Rootsman. Kanamori delves deep into looping digital grunge in Flowers of Cantarella and Dawn Purple, these synthetic worlds enveloping and deforming at will. Bold and as fresh as ever, EXP is an unearthed jewel from Tresor's past for new ears.

Hotdrum : : Solaris EP @hot-drum + David Reina @david-reina & TM @tmoclock Remix

Bringing a fluttering sense of levitation, Timeless O'Clock embraces the spring-summer season with open, serene pads and mindful bleeps colliding in harmony. The new EP from Hotdrum captures that fleeting feeling of wonder, as if life unfolds through mysterious ways we may never understand. It invites us to surrender to its magical pull, to trust in the unknown, and simply appreciate the beautiful lights we encounter along the way.

With elements of sacred structures and pure bliss, "Solaris" delivers sharp hats and polarized, minimal groovy bleeps woven into an elegant rhythm. This is more than just a track—it's a statement. Alongside this masterpiece from Hotdrum, we present a thoughtful EP that reflects depth, intention, and a refined sonic identity, appealing to a timeless sense.

Joining the release with a remixed version of "Cybo", David Reina makes his debut on the label, opening a portal into his world of misconception and deep inner space travel driven by a palpable bassline. Exploring a sci-fi acid approach through foggy atmospheres, TM follows up with his own interpretation pushing the narrative into his place as well.

Sam Ama est un DJ et producteur parisien qui combine rythmes intenses et synthés captivants dans sa musique. Son style, à la fois hypnotique et immersif, s'inspire de sons ambiants pour créer une expérience sensorielle propice à la danse.

Passionné par la musique, Sam Ama cherche à provoquer des émotions profondes et à offrir une échappatoire au quotidien. À travers chaque morceau, il invite ses auditeurs à se plonger dans une énergie collective où chaque rythme et chaque transition permettent de se reconnecter avec soi-même.

Dans ce podcast, j’ai voulu explorer différents styles et ambiances, en intégrant des unreleased d'artistes qui sont chers à mon coeur. Mon but était de créer un voyage musical, à la fois mélodique et dansant, qui vous plonge dans des atmosphères variées et énergétiques.

CLA1R33 est une graphiste réunionnaise, dont le travail explore l’interaction entre textures, contrastes et émotions. Chaque création devient une exploration, une manière de dévoiler ce qui se cache sous la surface, là où l’esthétique et l’instinct se rencontrent.

Son processus créatif est guidé par une écoute attentive des sets musicaux, qui lui permet de de tisser une narration orientant ses choix graphiques. Pour elle, l’abstraction est un moyen puissant de capturer les sensations que la musique génère.

Vide suspendu. Une brise sifflante s’engouffre dans l’obscurité, brisant
l’immobilité. Puis, des pas lourds résonnent dans une pièce sombre. Une
lumière clinique perce le néant, pulsant au rythme d’un souffle naissant.
L’instinct s’éveille, la chasse commence. Plongée vertigineuse dans un océan
d’ombres et de reflets. À la surface, le monde vacille : une danse tribale sous
la pluie, le sol vibrant sous les percussions.
