At the latest with the release of the albums "Zauberberg" and "Königsforst", in the mid-1990s, one associates GAS, Wolfgang Voigt's very own artistic cross-linking of the spirit of Romanticism and the forest as an artistic fantasy projection surface, with intoxicatingly blurred boundaries of post-ambient infatuation and the impenetrable thicket of abstract atonality. The distant, iconic straight bass drum marching through highly condensed, abstract sounds taken from classical music by the sampler or modulated accordingly, and the enraptured gaze through pop art glasses into the hypnotic thicket of an imaginary forest, manifested over the years this unique connection of audio and visual, which to understand fully, then as now, would be neither possible nor desirable.

Quite the opposite. The album GAS - DER LANGE MARSCH once again invites us to follow the deep sounding bass drum, to give in to its irresistible pull into a psychedelic world of 1000 promises. In the process, the journey leads us past stations of memories sounding from afar, from "Zauberberg" to "Königsforst" and "Pop", from "Oktember" to "Narkopop" and "Rausch", back and forth, now and forever.

Way. Destination. Loop. Forest loop.

No beginning. No end.

Tresor veteran TV Victor returns with two EPs in the midst of Tresor's 30th anniversary. Being an integral part of Tresor even before it all began, Udo Heitfeld founded No Zen Orchestra in 1987 together with Dimitri Hegemann, Günther Schickert and Piers Headley. The first releases on Interfisch, which would later become Tresor Records, saw the crew gathering around Fischbüro (a space for eclectic and dada experimentation) releasing non-comforming hypnotic psychedelic rock experiments, followed by Heitfeld’s solo debut Album Moondance on Big Sex in ‘89 as well as Trance Garden 1-3, his first release on Tresor in ’94. 

TV Victor's new releases GRV Vol. 2 + 3 continue this saga three decades later. This new chapter picks up where GRV Vol.1 left off in 2010, with its release on Tobias Freund and Max Loderbauer's Non Standard Productions label. The sound harkens back to classic downbeat, trip hop and tape loop workouts of the early days. Crystal plateaus float in unison with the pulsating grooves, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, the shifting sand and the lively sea coincide. Even when the waters seem resting at times, the interlocking rhythms move far below their surface. You can't stop these waves, but you can learn how to flow. 

These four tracks show TV Victor at what he does best: major effects with minor changes, micro-timed steps in the grooves, macro-steps in cognition. This is dance music for the mind - an awakening from another world.

Our 10th digital release comes courtesy of Budapest's Bal5000.

It's his second EP for the label, the first being the Bleu Infini EP back in 2017(although some stellar tracks of his did appear on the Lost Transmissions compilation which is getting a repress this year and the Invisible Family EP#3).

For those unfamiliar with him, Bal5000 was pretty big on the drum & bass circuit a decade or so ago (known simply as "Bal" back then) but more recently he's been exploring this kind of bass-heavy spaced house and slo-mo acid sound like you'll find here. Kind of reminiscent of I:Cube a little...but you'll find it definitely has its own distinct flavour.

Bal5000's music has been enjoyed and played by ALFOS, Daniele Baldelli, The Beat Broker and more. Here's what's been said about "Neutra" EP:

"Love the music" DJ Kaos [Jolly Jams / Rong] 

"I like these very much" Sean Johnston [ALFOS / Hardway Bros.] 

"Brilliant" Leri Ahel [Mutant Disco Radio Show] 

"This is great! LOVING "Emporia" Thom Roland [Zillas On Acid]

"Bali Beat - wow! What a beast and another top release - pure fire!" [Mr Choon]

Late 1970s electronica from the Soviet Union / Estonia: four years after prog rock band Mess disbanded, Estonian musician Sven Grünberg released a remarkable album entitled “Hingus” in 1981. The 23 minute title track invites us into a fascinating, futuristic world of sound, laced with Far Eastern tonality, embellished with a church organ, extremely rare synthesizers and extraordinary percussion effects. The other two tracks, no less superb, are more in the stylistic tradition of the Berliner Schule / Berlin School (Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream). Out October 21, 2016 (CD/vinyl/digital)
