Fresh from his Interference EP, released earlier in the month on Tresor Records, and ahead of his return to the club in March as supporting act for Jeff Mills, we sat down with the zealous Glaswegian Vince Watson to discuss his fierce musicality, affinities with Tresor and diverse array of forthcoming projects.

TRESOR.CAST 003 | Vince Watson

Puresque is Paul Brtschitsch and Mocca—Paul whose discography stretches back to the mid-90s and is widely regarded for his sensitive sound arrangements both on record and live, and Mocca—real name Michael Kunz—who has been simmering his sonic pallet on the Berlin circuit over the last few years. They met over a mutual love of vinyl and entered the studio together with the desire to create something raw, as removed as possible from the synthetic feel of purely digital production.

On the brink of its 20th Anniversary, Tresor Records is proud to launch a new podcast series, which will feature exclusive mixes by club and label residents as well as interviews of carefully selected guests. To open up the festivities, we asked prominent Tresor resident Pacou to let it all lose at once! Here is a 90 minutes preview of what a typical Pacou set sounds like at Tresor. Included on this mix is an exclusive preview of Pacou's new 12" on Tresor Records, the Sense EP. TRESOR 246 will come out on the 17th of October 2011.

TRESOR.CAST 001 | Pacou

“Night does not show things, it suggests them. It disturbs and surprises us with its strangeness. It liberates forces within us which are dominated by our reason during the daytime.”

Like Brassaï, Roger Semsroth has spent the last decade trawling the shadows and writing in the dark. But where the seamy streets of nocturnal pre-WWII Paris provided the canvas for Brassaï’s widely heralded photography, it’s the sonic sluices of post-war Berlin and from the self-contained netherworlds of the city’s underground techno nexus that Sleeparchive derives from.

Taking its title from one of Brassaï’s famous sequence of prints, ‘A Man Dies In The Street Pt.2’ presents the second round of the eight track project developed by Sleeparchive (along with three secret locked grooves.)

As ever the genius is in the reductive palette, that here Semsroth paints into a rich splay of emotions mimicking the initial anxious discovery of the body, the curiosity of the gathering crowd, the excitement and building anticipation through to an aggressive and pummelling sense of realisation on the close. But is it at the loss of life, or the loss of spectacle? As Brassaï toys with ambiguity in his photographs, Sleeparchive’s music is just as hazy, deep and full of shady nuances that, like treasure, only appear if you’re willing to keep probing.

I Won't Let Go (Jaymo & Andy George Remix)

Twelve years ago Tresor Records released Terrence Dixon’s debut album ‘From The Far Future’ – a personal homage to the art and ancestry of techno, culminating in a discursive and dream-like course through the genre’s many tomes, complete with subtle nods to key protagonists such as Kraftwerk, Derrick May and Juan Atkins. A luminescent and ethereal catalogue of tracks awash with shimmery synths and taught rhythmical programming - that still holds true today, ‘From The Far Future’ made for a stunning first full length that cemented Dixon’s already proven credentials from his Population One work and Utensil Records foundations.

After a string of stylistically rich releases – including another album, ‘Train Of Thought’, this time for Cologne-based label Yore Records – the Detroit native returns to Tresor Records with ‘From The Far Future Pt.2’ – an ambitious, scopey and deeply personal sequel.

“ ‘From The Far Future’ was special in many ways. It's over 12 years later and seems like yesterday to me, it really does,” says Dixon. “ ‘From The Far Future Pt.2’ is my real life drama playing out before your ears, it has everything on this album that has something to do with where I live. I wanted to make this album as huge as it could be. This is a statement album. A variety of tracks from a minimal point of view.”

Taking the form of a fourteen-track CD and double vinyl LP, with just three overlaying tracks – the bubbly “Fountain of Life”, uplifting “Horizon” and stung out "The Study", as well as two different versions on the atmospheric builder “Dark City of Hope” – ‘From The Far Future Pt.2’ is a masterful and extensive techno album that alludes to – without relying on – Dixon’s Detroit heritage and affinities. Tracks like the CD’s three dystopic numbers: “Path to Mystery”, “The Auto Factory” and “Lead by Example”, for example, deploy recognisable tropes of techno past, spun into a unique and inherently modern Dixon vernacular. Elsewhere, warm syncopated house (“Self Centered”), wonky jazz (“The Switch”), grainy dub textures (“My Journey Here”) and smoky ambience (“Vision Blurry”) complete this rewardingly heterogeneous CD.

Complementing the headiness of the CD, the eight-track vinyl version of ‘From The Far Future Pt.2’ has been curated squarely with the dance floor in mind, allowing Dixon’s shrewd beat-smithery to come to the fore. From the tough and punchy rhythms of “Light of Day” and “Band Together” to the discordant canters of jangly anthem “Sleight of Mind” and dubby “11th Floor”, there’s something here for any fan of freewheeling and well-versed techno.

Artist: Scan 7 
Title: The Resistance EP
Label: Tresor Records
Cat No: Tresor.255

Tracklisting:

A1. The Resistance
B1. Why Not?
B2. In & Out Of The Groove

Synonymous with Detroit, Techno, and Tresor, Scan 7 have remained protagonists of the Berlin-Detroit axis since it was first forged in the sweaty obsidian of the club’s original Wertheim vault home. Now, over 20 years later, the masked techno collective pay tribute to the triptych’s matted histories on ‘The Resistance EP’.

With identifiable nods to Scan 7’s Underground Resistance affiliations – the label that launched the group, and whose militaristic and political philosophies can be found littered throughout their discography – the EP begins with quintessential Detroit strings and groove before delving into darker techno territory. On the A-side, “The Resistance” offers an uplifting and delightfully nostalgic jaunt through dance music past, using all those favourite and immortal house tropes to deliver instant gratification. Meanwhile, the B-side shows off Scan 7 as masters of warm, yet shadowy techno – plus their trademark drum work – in the hypnotic “Why Not?” and driving, basement-ready “In & Out Of The Groove”. 

Alongside many outings on Tresor’s renowned compilation series, Scan 7 produced two albums for the label – ‘Dark Territory’ in 1996, followed up by ‘Resurfaced’ in 1999 – before leader TrackMasta Lou’s Cratesavers Muzik took over as the group’s primary recording outlet. ‘The Resistance EP’ is a welcomed return to Tresor from one of its stalwart artists, and paves the way for a retrospective compilation on 20 years of Scan 7, due out at the close of the year.

Title: Variant & Empires EP
Label: Tresor Records
Format: 12"
Cat.No: TRESOR 257
Release Date: 29/10/12
Style: Techno
Tracklist : 
A. TC4 Variant
B. Second City Of The Empire

	Following the S_W_Z_K debut album, which came out on Tresor Records before the summer, David Brown offers here further insights into the most recent developments of his new departure. Receiving the help of long-time collaborator and friend Richard Davis, the duo continues its dive into the concrete and metallic landscapes found on their eponymous LP effort.

	The Variant & Empires EP however marks somewhat of a slight departure from the obscure experimental investigations previously undertaken. "TC4 Variant" is a roaring number, aiming specially at the dancefloor and taking the duo's energy to its highest point, while "Second City Of The Empire" intimately unveils the deeper side of their enterprise.

Anna Lunoe & Touch Sensitive - Real Talk (Cassian Remix)

Cottage Puzzle appears on Sauna Porch Recordings Co., the latest release by Toronto electronic music scene veteran Heiki.

The album is a collection of new music entirely composed and recorded on the porch of the rustic sauna cabin his father designed and built in Georgian Bay over 35 years ago. Heiki made these recordings by creating a live, chilled soundtrack first, then sitting back and absorbing the Georgian Bay lake view and natural surroundings for inspiration. Occasionally he would set up a microphone, record, and then process the natural sounds of the surroundings – the wind, the birds, the rustling of leaves in the wind,
people swimming, or motorboats and canoes passing by.
Most of the initial music was quickly recorded as loops in the morning then slowly built up over the
course of a day. Songs were then revisited, treated, layered and re-built over the course of a few
weeks (or years, in some cases). Washes of sound were created by processing the field recordings
then layering them with synthesizer tones and sequences, creating a fusion of natural and
synthesized resonances.
www.paperplusound.com/
Sauna Porch Recordings Co. is released in download format and a strictly limited
250 copy digipack edition.

Moby - I Love To Move In Here (Popof Remix)

In Flagranti's 'Headrush' EP is out now on digital or you can pick up the limited edition 12" from all good record shops and http://shop.phantasysound.co.uk.

Phantasy is proud to announce its next release by the legendary In Flagranti. Revered by many to be amongst the best producers and artists of underground club music, the Swiss duo’s sounds have been staple in the sets of some of the world’s finest DJs, from Phantasy boss Erol Alkan to James Murphy, Tim Sweeney, Horsemeat Disco and many more. 

This release features four cuts with only the dancefloor in mind, each track echoing the sexuality, style and darkness of the late night disco. Title track ‘Headrush’ melds clattering beats with ecstatic sighs and strutting synth stabs to set the pulse racing, while ‘Locker Keys For Tops’ and ‘Toiletries For Bottoms’ are sister slices of sleazy tropical house. The sassy ‘Dope As Shit’ completes the EP, and more than lives up to its title.

At the forefront of everything is the duo’s provocative sense of humour, from the knowing wink of their track names to the retro cut and paste collage of both their cover art and their masterful edits which have ensured them a permanent spot in the hearts and record boxes (and USB sticks) of today’s leading music makers.

Erol Alkan commented, “I've been a fan of In Flagranti for over a decade, their productions continue to surprise and inspire me. Both Alex and Sasa have inspired all of us at Phantasy in many ways.”

In Flagranti - Headrush PREVIEW

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.
