Tresor 2

Following the release of Jonas Kopp's capturing debut album and the recent Transllusion and Drexciya re-issues, the Berlin powerhouse starts the year with a bang.

Tresor Records is proud to introduce the debut collaboration between all-time reference DJ Deep, and emerging artist Roman Poncet, with two powerful 12"s released back-to-back, exploring both modern and classic interpretations of techno.

DJ Deep, uncovered by Laurent Garnier in the early ‘90s, has always rested on the cusp of modernity, whether in the realm of house or techno, relentlessly delivering visionary selections throughout. As label owner of Deeply Rooted, DJ Deep seeks out likeminded artists, including Poncet, to propel his vision of contemporary sounds.

Roman Poncet, surfaced in 2013 with a growing catalog on labels as Deeply Rooted, Taapion or Figure. The blend of the two producers is simply incendiary and their profound compatibility takes all its sense on these two EPs.

Tresor Records is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalogue of past releases that no other label in electronic music would turn down. Three of the finest in this collection were contributed by Surgeon​; “Basictonalvocabulary”, “Balance” and “Force + Form” all originally came out on the Berlin institution between ‘97 and ‘99. 

Surgeon’s inimitable post-industrial sounds emanating from his British homeland found its fullest expression in this masterful trio of releases. Tresor Records have decided that its high time to give these seminal albums another airing and will present each in a staggered series of 2LP represses throughout the year, while releasing a special 3CD box on June 8th. 
All works have been re-mastered and cut by Matt Colton.

Tresor is proud to welcome Mønic to its catalogue. Head of Osiris Music, Mønic is an accomplished producer based in the United Kingdom. His style can be defined as raw yet exceptionally refined, allowing for a certain industrial inspiration to ooze from his productions and outstanding sound design.

‘Parsons Hill’ opens with tumultuous percussions that continue to escalate throughout the track as an eerie looming synth dances above the kicks.
Alternatively, ‘Morse’ reveals another side of the artist with a more serene attitude. Here, static passes through a magnetic field with a constant palpitating bass. ‘Hollow Victory’ opens with thunderous clangs and a flurry of ominous chimes that echo through the darkness swirling above a pulsating heartbeat.

After Jonas Kopp’s well-received debut album ‘Beyond the Hypnosis’, released on Tresor Records in November 2014, the Argentinian returns to the label with a powerful and club-oriented EP, ‘HHH’. Over the past 10 years Kopp has explored and found himself confortable in many genres of music ranging from housey beats to hypnotic techno. This particular release finds itself comfortably in the middle of a dark and dusty dance floor.

‘Khaa’ opens the EP with a deep pumping bass as schizophrenic chords intermingle with hi-hats to form a stimulating composition full of energy. Conversely, ‘Nahn’ unfolds in parallel structure, cheeky yet with a smoother
bassline to ease delivery in a more more melodious way.

‘Hank’ unfurls with a thunderous stomping bass which cracks upon each beat sending you into a frenetic march while sinister atmospheres appear overhead. ‘Sinstro’ yields a whole new ambiance, with fraught chords pattering on the surface, while spatial airy moods climax throughout the piece to stimulate the mind.
Finally, the digital bonus track ‘Nekh’ brings the story full circle with a bold opening cut which builds into a cosmic trip. Altogether a feverish EP fit for peak-time elation.
