UNLIMITED : WHATEVER | 88UW

1978 born in Hamburg/Germany, 88UW already has been fascinated in young years by 80s electronic music, DJs and breakdancing. He visited a record store specialised in Hip-Hop, Electro/Breakbeats and Techno of all kinds for the first time in 1991. He then quickly fell in love with dark resonated basses in a 4 to the floor environment. Starting to play in clubs at the age of 16 he hasn’t stopped until this day to fill the floors with his hypnotising and pumping sound.

At the end of the 90s he started experimenting with his own equipment to create sounds, atmospheres and rhythms but did not feel ready yet to show his creations to the public. In 2007 the time had come for the first release “Drugs Prescriptions” under the name of “TAILS” which reached people all over the world and opened many new ways to take. 2010 his new project 88UW | UNLIMITED : WHATEVER has seen the light of the day and soon has been recognised by labels like the legendary “SYNEWAVE - NY”.

In the same year he played his first guest set in “TRESOR - BERLIN” and became a resident DJ shortly after in 2011. Since then 88UW played gigs all over the world and released over 100 tracks and remixes in many different styles. After a little reorientation 88UW is back in 2021 with a lot of new tracks and hungry to play.

He started audio Production as well and his spinning sound changed to tribal house. Returning to Germany in late 2005 and moving to Costa Rica in 2006, where he turned his sound back to Techno, incoorperating the sounds of Minimal and Dub Techno. Sharing the Decks with DJ Monik, Lippa, Ivan Gaffer and others. After living in San José for 2 years and playing in the local scene, he moved to Guayaquil, Ecuador in June 2008, becomming part of Technolife-Group (i.e. Vanina Buniak, Carlos Pereyra) and playing his music in the major clubs and venues, sharing the decks with DJ's, like Butane, Lineas de Nazca, Mikael Stavöstrand, Franco Bianco, José Elias Wated, Roberto Serrano, Diego Perez, Lysergicman and many more.

Right now, he is playing mainly National (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Acapulco), sharing the decks with DJ's like UMEK, Luis Flores, Sintoma, Tone 15, Vantek, Lee O, Modulador B, Leo Millan and many more. As Elbkind, he is playing Tech House and Micro House, under the name Teknokrat, he is attacking the dancefloor with Techno beats. 

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.

It's time for a celebration: MB Elektronics exists more than 20 years already. Marco Bailey founded the label in 1999. He started producing in 1995 and released many tracks on other labels when he decided he wanted his own label. MB Elektronics was born.  "Back in the days we had some strong releases from big names such as Adam Beyer, UMEK, Joey Beltram, The Advent, Cristian Varela and Christian Smith ", Marco says. "MB Elektronics is still one of the leading techno labels, trying to select the best tracks for each release. Our strength also lies in the time we give each release to develop. We don't release records too fast after another".  MB Elektronics has many more plans for the future. No hypes, no trends, just pure techno energy!
