It's unusual for an artist's first releases to be acknowledged and played by Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and many other Top DJs.

Then again, Stiv Hey isn't your usual artist.

Hailing from Milan, Stiv quickly became an authority in electronic music, spearheading the next generation of music leaders. 

Approaching the genre with a contemporary edge, Stiv started with a dark minimal techno style and then move to a more punchy melodic techno and then a more groove based tech house Latin style.

Stiv has begun to see sold-out performances on an international scale since the very beginning of his career becoming an international Dj at the age of 20.

During his tours from Russia to USA to and South America, Stiv completely jammed every single club where he played and he closed every single show with a long applause from the crowd.

Turning to Asia, Stiv has intensively toured countries like China and India with incredible success. Thanks to this he is building an establishment of a fan base in the Eastern Hemisphere.

In Europe Stiv has already achieved a strong support in countries like Romania, Bulgaria, Spain and Uk.

Relocated to Barcelona, Stiv played his debut party in the city in front of a 3000 people crowd, making a memorable performance and got a residency at one of the best party intown named “The Home”.

2020 has been an extremely prolific year for Stiv, having him nominated by Beatport as one of the TOP 3 Techno artists with
the biggest growth during the year.

In fact he has been releasing on the top labels in the market such as Unrilis, Tronic, Octopus and Set About.

Pretty much all of Stiv 2020’s releases reached the Beatport Top 100, with highlights on “Mi Dica” #3 in the Techno Chart and #51 in the Overall Chart, “Hyperion” #7 in the Techno Chart, “Engage” #17 in the Techno Chart and positioning Stiv in the TOP 30 artists which sold most tracks on Beatport during 2020.

Some of the biggest names on the scene showed love and support to Stiv’s music during 2020.

It looks like Adam Beyer is really in love with Stiv’s new groovy techno style, as he’s been playing pretty much all of Stiv’s tracks released in 2020. 

Just to name a few: “Mi Dica”, “Engage”, “Repulsar” have all been found in Drumcode Radio shows played by Adam and have been included in Adam’s charts.

Carl Cox played and charted “Engage” as well, together with many other dj’s.

2021 was a transitional year for Stiv as he has made a slightly shift of his musical style, combining epic melodies with his signature techno grooves and taking his music to a completely different level.

The last EP’s on Octopus, Form and Set About anticipated this musical transition and the right now Techno fans have their eyes pointed on Stiv’s new releases.

At the beginning of 2022 Stiv started to feel ready for a big change, he was looking for a more groove and less dark music style, so like the old time Stiv spend almost two researching a new signature sound coming out of his comfort zone and developing a new Tech House sounds clubbers and djs are going crazy about.

His new music was played many times in Ibiza during the 2023 season receiving supports from Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Joseph Capriati, The Martinez Brothers just to name a few.

In 2024 the new Stiv Hey is ready to be launched with a renovated sound, new branding and a great world tour planned.

HEY! Brand is also on is way to be launched to the public after almost two years of work behind the scene.

East or West, Stiv Hey is an ascending figure in the techno and tech house landscape. 

Keep en eye on him for some incredible things coming.

Harnessing a distinct brand of artistry that knows no categorical bounds, the DJ, producer and record label head has cemented herself as one of the music industry’s most in-demand names at nothing short of breakneck speed. Her signature sonic approach masterfully blends genres with a visceral energy that commands attention, the ardent catalyst in her meteoric rise from Belgium’s underground to global phenomenon status.

Being one of the most in-demand Techno DJs of our times, Ben Klock needs little introduction. His name has been closely associated with Berlin’s legendary club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has formed the backdrop to his international success, providing an invaluable platform for his ability to create a room rather than just play to it.

Much of his early career was marked by marathon sets – a signature that played a considerable role in nurturing his skills and reputation – but even the more compressed sets he shares today evidence an intricate narrative and sense of flow that defines him as a DJ. It was these inherent abilities that led him to compile the fabric 66 compilation in 2012, before winning the BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year award in 2015.

His releases on Ostgut Ton have become landmarks in the imprint’s history. 2009’s “Dawning”, the first of his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann kickstarted the label itself and remains a stand-out track in its discography. Another release of particular note is the Before One EP including “Subzero”, which many techno lovers still refer to as their gateway track into the whole genre itself. For many, however, it is his album One (2009) that best captures Klock’s talents as a producer. His skills as a remixer have also seen him rework tracks by a wide variety of artists, including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin.

Additionally, Klock curates with great passion his own label Klockworks, founded in 2006. With releases from DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, Temudo and many more Klockworks became a synonym for unique, high quality Techno.

In 2017 Ben started his own event series PHOTON which is a unique concept show that blends light, architecture and music. Since then he toured PHOTON at special venues in major cities around the world such as Printworks (London), Gashouder (Amsterdam), Arca (Sao Paolo), to name a few. It quickly became a new standard for audio visual electronic music events. In 2023 the project returns after a pandemic induced break with a brand new visual and artistic concept.

Canadian Jonny White, acting Head of No.19 Music, is now the lone force behind the influential project that began as a collaborative effort with long-time friend Kenny Glasgow in 2009. The prolific producer’s original production style landed Art Department at the forefront of a major underground music movement, transcending genre barriers and forever altering the landscape of dance music. Their game-changing contribution to electronic music has been undeniable, garnering accolades such as #1 track of the year at the Beatport Awards in 2011 and iTunes #2 “Best Electronic Album” of 2011. Notable mention in wide-spread press, including The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vogue, I:D, Nylon and Vibe Magazine who ranked art department the #2 DJ/Producers in the world in 2013, second only to Daft Punk, firmly established Art Department as a rarity in the world of electronic music.

At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future. 

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit. 

Tresor Records was founded in the same year and began to serve as a platform for exporting the new sounds associated with Tresor all around the world. Emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kick-start dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians. This story is one of friendship and community-building, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit, Birmingham or Edinburgh, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles. 

Tresor Records has been the fertile soil for dozens upon dozens of creative minds, from the very luminaries of the scene who developed electronic music over the last three decades through to contemporary protagonists who are currently defining the sound of the future -  A more than 300 strong catalogue displays an unmistakable identity - the Tresor spirit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.
