Following numerous appearances at the club, Tresor is proud to present the debut split 12" from Chloe Lula and Ireen Amnes, featuring a rich set of tracks that fit just too perfectly in the vault of the Kraftwerk building and beyond. 

Meeting in the darker, harder-edged side of the Berlin techno scene in 2019, the pair have regularly collaborated and performed together, but Synergy marks the first time they've shared a record sleeve. Amnes describes Synergy as "the world we built while thinking about our journey as friends and the connection we share as people and artists," and while the record highlights their relationship and shared influences, it also showcases how each has grown into their respective lane. 

Amnes' tracks lean into significantly more distorted territory, characterized by a dense fog of grainy pads punctured by sharp, expertly-programmed percussion. On "Our Bodies," these fragments are sculpted into driving hardware gear, replete with distant vocals and acidic squelches, where "Fragments of Desire" makes space for a more somber attitude, descending into murky, psychedelic electro. 

In counterpoint to Amnes' deep atmospherics, Lula's contributions are driven by intricate sound design and a focus on dancefloor impact. Taking cues from Regis and the Birmingham techno sound, she reins in the distortion of 2021's Errant Bodies for aufnahme + wiedergabe in favor of rolling techno and breakbeat-inspired rhythms that nod to her EBM influences. Making use of the extra space, she builds tension through heaving, textured basslines and crescendos of noise, and on EP closer "Event Horizon," she carves through the beat with her own metallic vocals. 

Synergy includes a digital bonus track from each artist. Lula's sees her pushing deeper into finely-tooled techno territory, her drums at a swift, driving gallop, surrounded by ominous swaths of reverb. In contrast, Amnes crafts a gritty warehouse trip, sharpening the angles of her drums and detuning her synths until they sound bent and alien. Complete with the EP's physical cuts, these tracks are a testament to how the pair can simultaneously complement and contrast with each other, departing from their shared sonic origins and ending up in wildly different destinations.

WHATS YOUR LORE

P/ alfie snapped

나는 영원히 너만을 사랑해
왜냐면 정신병 걸린 여자가 나의 이상형
영원히 너를 사랑할 순 없는 건가요
영원히 너를 따먹을 순 없는 건가요

너를 처음 봤을때는 아마 홍대 애니메이트
넌 BL 망가 신작 코너에 있었는데
너가 입은 디마럽 메이드복이 잘 어울려
너한테 트위터 계정을 물어봤네 난 오예

난 계속 물어봤지 날 사랑하냐고
근데 넌 씨발 아키를 더 좋아한다고
넌 레제가 추구미래 근데 내가 영화 보니까 레제는 개 씨발년이더라고

영원히 너만을 사랑해
왜냐면 정신병 걸린 여자가 나의 이상형
영원히 너를 사랑할 순 없는 건가요
영원히 너를 따먹을 순 없는 건가요

사랑해
너의 모든
모습을
난 사랑해
그러니까 좀 자해좀 자해좀 하지마
씨발년아
적당히 좀 해라 잘해줄때 씨발새꺄

이상형이 정신병자면 어떡해요

Style Note for Production: Slow, heavy, mid-tempo Neo-Soul rhythm, Focus on a prominent, deep electric bass groove and a sorrowful, slightly dissonant electric piano, The drum beat should be slightly hesitant, mirroring the singer's uncertainty, The vocal delivery should be clear, weary, and ultimately resigned, (The track opens with the slow, heavy bass and electric piano, The atmosphere is tense and reflective
