Techno DJ/producer Joran van Pol has a somewhat special story. His debut release ‘Untitled 2’ was signed to Richie Hawtin’s Minus, followed by Joran's seminal release 'Faded'. Where do you go from there? Well, with the ‘Implicit E.P.’ on Dubfire’s Sci+Tec, several releases on Joris Voorn’s label Rejected, a remix and full E.P. ’Immediate E.P.’ on Matador’s Rukus and a collab with Maksim
Dark ‘Thrill’ on Senso Sounds. ‘Derelict’ on Pan-Pot's Second State was added in 2020.

Meanwhile, Joran kept working tirelessly to hone his craft in the studio. Inspired by the current wave of bare and heavy techno, he managed to create a new iteration of his sound. His stark and heavy, yet minimalistic, techno marks the resurgence of Joran van Pol.

Perhaps even more so than his production efforts, Joran has built quite the reputation when it comes to his DJ-sets. Starting his career at the infamous underground club Studio 80 in Amsterdam, he quickly transitioned to big venues and events like Awakenings, Dockyard, Tomorrowland, Fuse Brussels, Welcome To The Future, Loveland and Timewarp.

Launching his own imprint _Enact in 2020.

Booming the underground, Dutch I amtechno is a household event label in the Netherlands. We kicked off in march 2011 when we gave our first party for 700 people in a old warehouse that went on for a staggering 19 hours. Since then we haven’t kept still and organized many successful events. I amtechno has worked with names such as Tresor, Harry Klein, Salon zur Wilde Renate and many others. Also I amtechno takes over clubs and festivals with their residents On/Off, La Vondèl, Keith Carnal and Roy el Kei.  




Roy El Kei has without a doubt established himself as one of Holland’s most prominent rising stars within the techno scene. His music reflects his attention to detail in the studio. It therefore comes as no surprise that he is signed to respected labels such as Bush Records, Rhythm Converted, Bush Records, Recode Musik Records and Marco Bailey’s MB Elektronics.

He recently toured throughout Asia and Australia. In The Netherlands he performs at popular venues including Studio 80, Westerunie & Factory 10 and major events such as “I Am Techno” to Wildness Festival, Solar Festival, Chateau Techno and Kingsland. Roy El Kei has become a permanent fixture in the global touring techno elite.

In 2006, Roy won Slam FM talent of the year contest. He subsequently gained the respect of major pro audio brand Allen & Heath, who for the past four years have given him the opportunity to represent them in The Netherlands as one of their XONE product specialists.

Since 2009 he has been instrumental in organizing and performing at a highly successful event called DEEP. The list of artists who have participated at DEEP includes Marco Bailey, Ben Sims, Gary Beck, Cari Lekebusch, Steve Rachmad, Egbert, Secret Cinema, Tom Hades, The Advent and Industrialyzer, Slam, Mark Broom all of whom are well known nationally and internationally. At the same time he has organized underground events called DEEP UNDERGROUND in a warehouse. These alternative events have contributed towards the popularity of techno music in his hometown, Zwolle. 

From the very beginning DEEP has been hosted at Hedon, a popular and vibrant venue known for having one of the best sound systems in The Netherlands.  

In a recent interview with DJ Mag, he said, ‘’My XONE DB4 mixer is my favourite instrument. My music stems from my multicultural background, a combination of Dutch and Moluccan roots’’. 

Finally, in addition to spending many hours in the studio creating new tracks, Roy recently spent 6 months on a project teaching autistic children to be come DJ’s. 

‘’What I would like to achieve with my music is to offer the audience moments of happiness in a troubled world and also to give people an insight into the way I experience life’’.

At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future. 

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit. 

Tresor Records was founded in the same year and began to serve as a platform for exporting the new sounds associated with Tresor all around the world. Emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kick-start dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians. This story is one of friendship and community-building, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit, Birmingham or Edinburgh, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles. 

Tresor Records has been the fertile soil for dozens upon dozens of creative minds, from the very luminaries of the scene who developed electronic music over the last three decades through to contemporary protagonists who are currently defining the sound of the future -  A more than 300 strong catalogue displays an unmistakable identity - the Tresor spirit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.

*DJ and producer from Stockholm, Sweden.
Joel Mull's career spans over three decades. With a background studying classical music, singing in choirs and playing in bands, Joel found electronic music at a young age as a source of freedom. His first experience came from DJ’ing in the chill-out areas of rave parties in his native Stockholm during the early 90’s.
With his roots from Germany, Hamburg, he moved to the city in 1994, and worked as a resident DJ for 3 years at one of the biggest techno clubs in Germany, Unit Club. This was an important period for him and as a DJ; It taught him how to control the energy of the night on the dance floor, from warm up sets to 10h marathon sets.

With releases on music labels worldwide along with Cari Lekebusch, Robert Leiner, Adam Beyer and Jesper Dahlbäck he counts to the first wave of Swedish techno producer who became known around the world as the "Swedish techno sound".
He has produced over 100 releases and under various names such as Icarus, Gotzkowsky and most recent under his alias Damm.
He often refers to himself and his craft as a sound architect, and if you’ve ever experienced his club sets, you’ll understand why.
Under his ambient and electronica alias Damm, Joel revives one of his earliest aliases and expands upon this discipline even further.

*Part of the label team of the swedish label Parabel.
*Also knows as "Damm" with his latest ambient release on A Strangely Isolated place.
