TECHNO DETROIT EVOLUTION

Next up is a producer and DJ who has become well known across Latin America and beyond for his far reaching sets which channel influences from scenes and music cultures from all over.

At the tail end of 2021 Omar Suárez released his latest music on celebrated record label NAAFI of which he has become closely affiliated. Some might call it techno but it went deeper than that, way deeper. This was a record all about atmosphere, style and sound design - he reworked percussion in a monstrous, unique fashion and the result was as enticing in the headphones as it sounds on the dancefloor.

This mix showcases Omar's respectable knowledge of music from around the world as he draws upon the influences which have helped to solidify his sound. There's hip hop, dub, rave, jazz, ambient and pretty much the full gauntlet in this tape which might just go down as one of our favourites this year.

Twenty five years after its initial release, Tresor Records is proud to announce the reissue of Robert Hood’s ’Internal Empire’ album, a master work, then and now...

The ongoing importance of this album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor. It is a history intertwined. This work elevates its maker as master, and remain a cherished moment in the Tresor story, sharing an irrefutable singular magic, sounding as present and indispensable as when first created. To understand this work fully is to stand back and celebrate its impact.

Originally released in 1994, ‘Internal Empire’ marks a point of transition for Robert Hood moving on from his previous collaborations within Underground Resistance. Robert Hood advanced uncovering the power of true minimalism. Deep soul through a simplicity that showed how much could be done with so little. The devastating rhythms of this album forge the unmatched spirit of this sound, influencing generations to come.

"25 years ago, I was faced with the challenge of following up on 'Minimal Nation’. I cancelled all my tour dates for that summer, setup my studio in the living room and began to work on 'Internal Empire'.  My intention was to create something distinctively different. Looking out my living room window in Detroit watching people go by gave me a new perspective. It made me look at the world within myself. 25 years later I am still discovering.”  – Robert Hood
