Pre-order: https://tresorberlin.bandcamp.com/album/yet

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop.

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for the latest @tresor compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021’s landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition.

Track 12 comes from @solid_blake, whose track 'Hexaghost' is a hefty, broken beat track of experimental techno, with Tresor the perfect landing spot for the Copenhagen-based producer's sonic palette.

Open Mantissa 005 and you’ll find tracks from not one, not two.. or even three of the artists from prior releases. Wait a minute… you’re not saying all four artists from the previous releases have a track on this EP are you? Erm.. I think that might be what we’re saying. Shouts to Unknown Artist, Bex, Compliments and Ian DPM for the playful, high-energy squigglers.

Release Date: 19th May 2023

Mantissa 005 - Various Artists - Snippets

The night was young but it already seemed ever so frantic and free in the club. It was as if they had already been there for hours as they danced and moved between the flickering lights as smoke began to fill the air. From the corner of his eye he watched as fellow dancers and revellers continued to file down the stairs and into the murky abyss below.

Perhaps this was his favourite time of the night? The quiet calm before the storm – the music loud but not yet punishing, the pace moody and slow in time with his swaying hips.

He watched as the world beneath became busier and one by one the people came and went. This was a special place, that much was true. Perhaps 10-11 was the best time of all?

Redstone Press continue in the pursuit of leftfield Bass music and harder sounds – the next EP on the label coming from Tano and featuring remixes by the likes of Toumba and Delay Grounds. This one features off piste rhythms and percussion – keeping the energy flowing in the best and weirdest of ways.

PREMIERE: Tano - 10 - 11 (Toumba Remix) [Redstone Press]

Out in the streets there was a party kicking off. The summer heat had finally kicked in and kids danced beneath burst fire hydrants whilst parents sat and watched from their porches. Music played loudly and the smell of a grill was thick upon the occasional breeze which blew through. This would go on late...

Cars began to arrive one by one, the boom and rumble of a sound system could be heard from down the way and it would be no time at all before the boys turned up to show off whatever wild juke they'd been working on that week. Their feet would move fast and free as the stresses of the week were unleashed against a backdrop of breaks and wicked drums. 

Eventually the cops might show up to slow proceedings but they knew it would all kick right off again the moment they left. This was the summer in full flow...

Joe Howe is set to release a new record on Acid Waxa - a playful release which wanders between styles and genres all with a glitchy, chaotic feel throughout which makes for quite the trip. This track is called 'Wild Juke' and is a sort of mutated crossover between the traditional sounds associated with the genre and an erratic computer video game.

Discappointment has its week with 𝙜𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞. Just under a week ago she performed at our last party and now she's brightening up our day with a fresh mix in the 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 series. An outstanding, diverse mix. And when it comes to gummi, we can expect the most surprising musical connections. It's no different in this case. In this latest material, she smoothly transitions through varying tempos from 140 to 70 to 160, exploring different areas of experimental music. You'll find elements of jazz, dubstep, rap, and tasty bass references here. A well-curated selection and versatility of sounds is something that you can hear clearly in this piece. And we are truly impressed by that.

#16 APPOINTMENT W/ GUMMI

This time, we welcome a fresh seaside breeze in our yard, bringing back memories of a summer filled with juicy moments. Breeze full of broken and bassy selecta straight from one of 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘴, real strong player & full of unique energy gal with her gun fingers pointed into the sky. 
Say hello to 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙠. Gdańsk based DJ, a solid selector, and a member of the newly formed femme collective, 𝙋𝙊𝙄𝙎𝙀, which has established itself as a safe space for women, queer, and underrepresented individuals in the Tricity club scene.

Her fresh mix is a combination of warm, soft bass and broken sounds with a hint of electro. Especially delightful on these final sunny days. We melt at the thought of the passing summer and we don't hide the fact that we felt a bit sentimental. Float through these meanders of broken sounds topped with feisty vocals. It feels good. 

blank, you boss. Thank you! (人❛ᴗ❛)♪
