Tresor (German for safe or vault) is an underground techno nightclub in Berlin and a record label.

History:

The club was founded in March 1991 in the vaults of the former department store Wertheim at Leipziger Strasse 126-128 in Mitte, the central part of East Berlin, next to the Potsdamer Platz. The history of the club goes back to 1988 when the electronic music label Interfisch opened the Ufo Club in Berlin. Ufo was the original centre of Berlin house and techno, but due to financial problems that club closed in 1990.
After Ufo closed, Interfisch's head, Dimitri Hegemann, and some investors in the club found the new space in East Berlin. This was advantageous timing, as it was only a few months before Germany unified. The vaults under the Wertheim department store proved to be the perfect location for a club, and Tresor quickly became the place to be in Berlin. Tresor continued to be a popular club, having expanded and reconstructed continuously several times to include an outdoor garden area, and a second "Globus" floor. The Tresor floor in the basement was reserved specifically for hard techno, industrial and acid music, while Globus was featured mainly more mellow house sound. The record label Tresor Records was founded soon after the club first opened, in October 1991. Featured artists on the label include Jeff Mills, Blake Baxter, Juan Atkins, Robert Hood, Drexciya, Stewart Walker, Joey Beltram, DJ Surgeon, Pacou, Cristian Vogel and many others.
In 2004 the documentary "Tresor Berlin: The Vault & the Electronic Frontier" was released. Directed by Mike Andrawis, it features interviews with Hegemann, Carola Stoiber, and DJs & artists associated with the club & label. The film covers the period from Hegemann's involvement with the Fishladen and UFO clubs in Berlin-Kreuzberg to the final months prior to Tresor's closure.
Tresor closed on 16 April 2005, after several years' prolonged short-term rent. The city sold the land to an investor group to build offices on the Leipziger Straße location. It was open for each night of April 2005, with the final event starting the Saturday night with queues stretching all the way down the road, and still going Monday morning.
Tresor reopened on 24 May 2007 in the decommissioned southern tract of the combined heat and power plant Heizkraftwerk Berlin-Mitte in Köpenicker Straße. 
Since November 2019 the club has a subsidiary in the city of Dortmund called Tresor.West. 
In September 2022, Tresor published a photobook, Tresor: True Stories, to document the past 30 years of its history.

"Between Frames" by MAURER is an Hard Groove Techno exploration that breaks away from the expected, fusing heavy basslines, soulful melodies and off-pattern rhythms. The release moves between percussive energy and emotional resonance. A dancefloor-focused EP that embraces contrast and refuses to settle into a single shape or formula.

Pacou was born and raised in Berlin. Back in 1989 the sounds of House and Techno music took off there. He became a music collector and went to many now legendary parties and club events, which greatly influenced his future career. In september 1996 he released his first record under the name "agent cooper" (on the label "Raw Music") and shortly after his first single on Tresor as "Pacou".
The following year 1997, Tresor released Pacou's first album "Symbolic Language", and he became a resident DJ at the club.
-
The year 1998 marked a substantial progress in both DJ and production aspects of his career. He started playing around Europe, Japan and Australia, and changed over to fulltime work on music and performing as DJ.
In 1998, Pacou founded his first own label "LL Records" to release some of his own material, and publish work of musical friends.
-
A third LP "State of mind" was released in 2000, furthermore singles on the labels Djax, Konsequent, Music Man and others. Tour dates again ranged from Brasil to Australia. Tresor released another single "Last Man Standing" in February 2004 and a whole album "The Berlin Sessions" produced with Juan Atkins in 2005.
-
He started another record label "Cache Records" in 2005, with 13 vinyl releases - similarly to "LL" it featured a number of musically related friends' work and some of his own.
With more than 20 years of the residency at Berlin's wellknown Tresor club, new 12" vinyls appeared on the Tresor label 2011 and 2017, while tours with Live PA and DJ sets continued around Europe and with a new emphasis on South America.
-
In 2016, the bandcamp page for all backcatalogue releases pacou.bandcamp.com was started and most of the previously released work can now be found there.
So far Pacou has played in more than 30 countries, and the story will continue... spreading the good vibe.

Lost In Ether | Podcast #147 | Jamaica Suk b2b Oliver Deutschmann

taken from: Jamaica Suk b2b Oliver Deutschmann - 2 hours live from a 6 hours closing set at Pornceptual (12.10.19), Alte Müntze, Berlin

Jamaica Suk:
Postmodern forms of melodic storytelling and soul rise from the industrial drive of a workout in her evolving sets.
Percussive funk with hard dark rhythm, drive the music identity visible in our nature - day revealing the night, the night making way for the day. Lush and deep samples, hints of melancholic bass guitar, distorted melodies splashing the pulse and layers of a booming production.
It all began when she was 16, her first encounter in learning the bass guitar. Studying jazz throughout school and performing in bands from Grindcore, Mathrock to Shoegaze, she fell in love with hard - driving, distorted industrial sounds and slowly dipped her way into her found love of techno and electronic music.
Suk was inspired by bands like Sun0))), Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Pansonic, and forms of minimalism - especially Steve Reich’s compositions. Studying Reich’s forms gave her respect for the composition aspects of DJ’s in the underground techno and house scene in the Bay Area, that she was becoming involved in.
 By day a jazz musician and night a DJ in San Francisco, throwing underground and monthly parties at warehouses & 222 hyde street she couldn’t deny the pulsating sounds drifting out of Europe.
After graduating from Pyramind in San Francisco studying Audio Engineering - In 2012, a haphazard trip to Europe for inspiration pulled her in so deep, she fell in love with the city of Berlin and its seasoned party culture, historical roots, and liberal mindsets - so she stayed. Currently residing in Berlin, she’s spent her time crafting her productions in her music studio built over the hedonic club Wilde Renate.

Oliver Deutschmann:

Berlin's Oliver Deutschmann has gained a reputation over the last 15 years through his pure passion, diverse track selection and an unambiguous mixing ability. Years before he released his first EPs he had already set himself on a path that would see him DJ all over the world, eventually leading to his adopted home of Berghain where he has lit up both rooms of the club dozens of times since first playing there almost ten years ago. Deutschmann displays a distinct unwillingness to be pigeonholed in any one style, and is right at home whether he's warming things up with an understated house groove or thrashing the big rooms with his grandiose brand of techno.
While honing his abilities at the controls, he also began testing the waters of production and label ownership, and has since created four labels: Vidab, Falkplatz, Slim Audio and the vinyl only imprint GKNSTR. Releases on Soma, Aim, Caduceus, Etruria Beat, Mobilee, and his own imprints culminated in his 2013 debut album, 'Out of the Dark,' that Resident Advisor described to be "as potent as any techno album released in the last few years." As an impassioned DJ, producer, and label owner, Deutschmann has ensured that his position in the forefront was never a fleeting one, and with numerous EP's and a second album on the way, it looks like things will stay that way.
