Portuguese imprint Kokölò are set to unveil 'I Got U', the latest extended player from local hero Rave Child, also known as Alfonsvs...'Dub 3720' is a blissful 5-minute odyssey that glides through shimmering waves of dubbed-out chord progressions, a carnival of crisp techno rhythms, syncopated vocal hits and haze-drenched synths. The track conjures a vision of ecstatic bodies lost in time, drifting through shadowed, smoke-filled warehouses, where the constant interplay of rhythmic tension and atmospheric weight creates an intoxicating balance of movement and suspended stillness.

Walk With Me

Throughout 2025, Tresor Records will reactivate Detroit house and techno originator Blake Baxter's vast Tresor catalogue digitally in chronological order, starting with 1992's Dream Sequence, closely followed by his 1995 album, Endless Reflection. 
To inaugurate and celebrate this retrospective of one the genre's true founders, an artist whose connections to Tresor go back to the very beginning, the label announces a special 12" release, Dream Sequence X, featuring remastered tracks from the early days and highlighting the harder side of his output.

Initially inspired by post-punk and funk, Baxter started making music as early as 1985. By 1991 he had already released several seminal records on classic labels like Underground Resistance, KMS, and Incognito, as well as providing multiple tracks to the groundbreaking UK compilation Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit, which was many European listeners' introduction to the genre, solidifying the term techno, and launching the international careers of many of the contributors.

1992 saw Baxter make the first trip to play Tresor, on the first UR Europe tour ever, thereby pioneering the now legendary Berlin-Detroit Connection. This visit led to a long and fruitful partnership with the club's new-fledged label beginning with Mills', Banks' & Hood's X-101 and Baxter's Dream Sequence, from which the first four tracks on the new 12" come.

Whilst he would become more renowned for his signature seductive vocals and a smoother music style closer to house music, these early tracks are heavier, classic 90s techno, revealing the influence of industrial, post-punk and pop of the time. 
Indeed the collection is something of a time capsule: jacking 909 drums, intense, ravey synth stabs, samples from classic soul breakbeat and the Speak & Spell voice synthesizer; classic sounds and styles of the era all make appearances on the record.
All tracks have been remastered by Manmade Mastering breathing a new vitality and sharpness for the modern dancefloor.

In a world where longevity is difficult and superlatives are too easily deployed, it is still difficult to overstate the long-lasting influence that Blake Baxter has had on modern music. His visionary output can be heard across modern electronic and pop to this day and with this series of remasters, there has never been a better time for the world to hear it at source.

Joy Wellboy - What Baby (DC Salas Reversion)

As release notes for the entire compilation starkly state in the beginning, “these are strange times and it looks like the whole world is going crazy”. Indeed! And my mind, when faced with fear, anxiety and uncertainty about the future, quickly rushes to my happy place. My happy place is a summer festival…thousands of people dancing, hugging, frantically waving their glow sticks, sucking on a pacifier and thrashing about in their ridiculously wide pants. Ok, ok… my happy place is a 90’s rave..guilty as charged! But have you ever danced to Underworld on a warm summer night? If you want to know that feels, you don’t have to dig for that Underworld CD. Just cue Vril and His Master’s Voice’s “Cryosleep”. 30 seconds into that track and you’ll think Bill Clinton is still in office and those raver pants are a thing of beauty. That track is a time machine! We have all the raver era boxes checked: breakbeat, happy heavy synth, perfect drive, and even Underworld-like spoken word are bellowing in the background. If you are old enough to remember, you WILL do a happy dance; if you have the misfortune of being too young, slip the track to your grandpa and watch him start working his cane like a glow stick.

‘Cryosleep’ is a part of ‘Solidarity Is a Weapon’, the 19-track charity compilation set to be released via Turnland on February 5th. All proceedings will go to Rote Hilfe E.V organization. So who is “Rote Hilfe E.V.” and why does the money made with this compilation go to them? This organization puts the main focus on the financial and legal support of left activists who face repression in Germany and helps antifascists who are searching for political asylum in Germany.
