Tresor’s long-standing connection to Detroit continues with Black Majik - the solo EP debut from Ann-Marie Teasley aka The AM (@amx313), one of the Motor City’s newest techno ambassadors.

Over four tracks the EP takes you on an odyssey of sorts, traversing the big three of Detroit’s electronic music history: Funk, Electro, and Techno

Black Majik, the title track sets us off with a groove bringing to mind a car ride through the city as the sun sets; the looping yet subtly-changing beats reminiscent of road markings and scenery that flit past on our journey, the vocals acting as the road signs that keeps us on our route.

Our next stop is On Joy Road, an Electro-influenced track named after the long, dual-carriageway street that connects the centre of Detroit to Nankin Lake and the enclaves on the city’s west side. Of this personal favourite from the EP The AM says, “Classic electro has never gone out of style in Detroit, and if it's hot outside, or you're at a cookout you're going to hear some form of electro, especially on Joy Road…infamous for its drag races. It can be a beautiful street by day, but it can turn very sinister at night which also influenced the writing of this track.” Third track, Shadow Werk, continues our drive into the night with an all-pistons-firing techno track recalling classic Detroit-Berlin axis tracks like UR’s Punisher or Joey Beltram’s Ten Four.

Our tour comes to an end as we are joined by fellow Detroiter’s Scan7 who turbo-charge Shadow Werk with a remix that adds accelerating trance-induction arpeggios evocative of Techno’s earliest beginnings in Italo Disco and tracks like Number of Names seminal Shari Vari.

As with all releases during Tresor’s 30th anniversary celebrations the artwork is a photograph of significance to the artist; for a release so rooted in its origins, both in terms of genre and theme, it is only fitting that The AM chose an image of Mack & Bellevue, an unassuming brick building disguising a venue that was integral to the city’s underground Techno scene at the turn of the millennium.

Julien Bracht - Apocalypse (Marcel Dettmann Remix)

Tresor Records is proud to announce forthcoming special editions of its entire catalogue of Drexciya and related projects. 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of James Stinson and the releases of the Transllusion and Shifted Phases albums. In recognition, the rightsholders, their families, and the label have commissioned Detroit-based contemporary artist Matthew Angelo Harrison to re-conceptualize the covers of Tresor's Drexciya-related catalogue. These editions will be released sequentially, bimonthly, starting early-September 2022. 

The series starts with Neptune's Lair, first released in 1999, with the Hydro Doorways single arriving shortly after. In November, Harnessed The Storm and Digital Tsunami are coming. In 2023 comes the release of Transllusion in February. The series is completed by the long-awaited re-release of Shifted Phases - The Cosmic Memoirs Of The Late Great Rupert J. Rosinthrope - at the end of March. 

These records, individually and as a catalogue, represent some of the most crucial moments in the Tresor label history, with the sound and mythic world of Drexciya undoubtedly inspiring generations.

Test Pattern

WRD0244 - SHAKHRAI - Warm Milk (Original Mix).

Pocket Candy’s debut EP Dreamin’ unfolds in a dreamlike landscape, translating the surreal nature of imagined fantasies into sound. Shimmering, ethereal synth lines guide the listener through dub-infused dimensions, while gritty percussion keeps things grounded with textured, dancefloor-ready drumwork. Conceptually, Dreamin’ is a sonic interpretation of hyperphantasia—a condition marked by exceptionally vivid mental imagery. Across five tracks, Pocket Candy brings both lucid and non-lucid dreams to life, crafting a tangible world of sound. The EP features three lush, synth-driven tech house originals, each capturing a distinct figment of the imagination, alongside two remixes by Braver and A.Dixen.

As the debut release from Pocket Candy (aka HAKEEM), Dreamin’ reflects his evolution as a producer shaped by his experience as a DJ. The EP blends melodic and textural depth with functional groove, drawing influence from dub, ‘80s synth pop, ‘90s tech-house, and the contemporary sonic territory explored by labels like Ilian Tape and Wisdom Teeth, or artists such as Silverlining, L.B. Dub Corp, Dario Zenker, K-Lone, and HLLW.

The EP’s single “Rain Dance” is reimagined through two remixes by long-standing staples of the Copenhagen scene:

Braver’s remix delivers a tight, groove-driven rework. Lush key stabs, dubby atmospheres, and intricate percussion fuel a steady momentum, blurring the lines between tech house and dub techno with contemporary flair sure to get any dancefloor going.

A.Dixen’s version takes a more introspective approach, conjuring a submerged, dub-soaked world. Synths drift like currents around vocal stabs and a weightless, rolling bassline—coming together in a track that feels like it could loop forever.

PREMIERE : Pocket Candy - Rain Dance

Deep'a & Biri – Dominance Remixes
Release Date:  28/11/2018

Tracklist: 
A1. Deep’a & Biri - False Memories (Midnight Operator Remix)
A2. Deep’a & Biri - Voltage (Peter Van Hoesen's Midnight Haze Remix)
B1. Deep’a & Biri - Seeking Solace (Z.I.P.P.O Remodel)
B2. Deep’a & Biri - Alpha Cephei (Deniro Remix)
Digital: Deep’a & Biri - Theories of Loneliness (Wice Remix) 

Deep’a & Biri curate a bevy of much-respected underground techno specialists to further unravel and reimagine the vital and sophisticated sounds of ‘Dominance’, their full-length LP released earlier in 2018.

Midnight Operator, the collaborative project of Mathew and Nathan Johnson, begin the set with their trippy and transcendent take on ‘False Memories’. A rare remix from the pair, their return has been worth the wait; an expertly executed techno excursion, it simultaneously burrows deeper into the psychedelic textures of the original, while providing a club-centred kick.

Further blending the experimental and the physical, Peter Van Hoesen provides a typically complex and compelling take on Voltage, deconstructing the original and expanding each element in myriad, rave-specific directions.

Deep’a & Biri enlist rising Dutch DJ-producer Deniro contributes a rolling, hypnotic version of Dominance’s spectral centrepiece, ‘Alpha Cephei’, while Z.I.P.P.O. charges down a tense, big-room industrial tunnel for his interpretation of ‘Seeking Solace’, hitting on a cathartic groove after a passage of uncompromising noise.

Concluding the EP, Steinlac’h Records founder Wice reimagines ‘Theories of Loneliness’ in dubby but propulsive fashion.

Amsterdam imprint Indigo aera returns with a new chapter for their ÆX offshoot. Five new carefully curated discs will be released in 2019, following up number 001­-005 that have been released in 2017. Once again it comes on hand­stamped whitelabels, compiled by label owners Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff where they invite a mixture of befriended and likeminded local artists who are considered all inner family members of the label.

ÆX006 is kicking off strong and counts five tracks. On the a-­side it's the debut by Selfsoul and ESHU member Tetelepta. Followed on the b­side by Taupe and D&S, known for their vision on warm Detroit­esque techno and Russian producer Ivan Erofeev with a punchy dubtechno roller.
