GRAB THE GROOVE 01: 404 NOT FOUND - 202002

RADIO SLAVE - THE CLONE WARS

Dropping in January 2023 is the reissue of DJ Shufflemaster's album EXP, which Tresor Records first released in 2001. This expanded reissue comes as a 3xLP with new artwork by Japanese designer Sk8thing and combines the original CD release tracks with three tracks from the Angel Gate 12" from the same year, including a remix by Surgeon of Experience. Also present is a previously unreleased version of Innervisions, which replaces the assonant synths of the original with a looped vocal sample upfront. Climb and Guiding Light will feature as digital-only tracks. 

Tatsuya Kanamori remains a critical component of the Tokyo techno underground scene, initially coming to the fore through the Subvoice label before releases with Tresor, Theory Recordings, and Japanese record labels such as Disq and Reel Musiq. At the moment of the original release, DJ Shufflemaster considered the record to draw in disparate and latent ideas into a fully encompassing mesh - "I would like to show my thoughts and everything that I am through the album. If it doesn't reflect my ideas and the reasons that I live for, there is no meaning for me to create an album. Therefore, EXP doesn't contain just one theme or concept." 

EXP represents an uncompromising and psychedelic slant on techno, with a purist's focus on the dancefloor. It bridges many avenues within the techno genre, from the minimalist, dubby terrains of tracks like P.F.L.P. and Opaqueness, to more fierce percussive works that share a kinship with the sonic movements in Berlin, Detroit and the UK. Beyond the technical, pared-down techno found in tracks such as EXP and Onto The Body, the album leaps into unpredictable territories frequently. Angel Exit carries mystical UK steppers moods as if it were a long-lost dubplate of The Rootsman. Kanamori delves deep into looping digital grunge in Flowers of Cantarella and Dawn Purple, these synthetic worlds enveloping and deforming at will. Bold and as fresh as ever, EXP is an unearthed jewel from Tresor's past for new ears.

Previously contributing to the label for its third instalment with the ‘Restless’ EP in 2020, Border One makes his long awaited return to the SK_X series with the ‘Inner Sight’ EP. 

Leading with ‘Third Vision’, a synth driven odyssey loaded with rising melodies, morphing basslines and fluctuating rhythms. ‘Optical Void’, takes a more minimalistic approach in the form of a stripped back hypnotic groove, placing emphasis on pounding percs and haunting atmospheric tension. ‘Mind’s Eye’ leads the flip-side with layered synths and rolling low-end frequencies, all combining to form a raw, rough and ready club record. 
The player concludes with the title track, ‘Inner Sight’ - featuring a dark variety of plucky bass, echoing tones and intricate perc lines. 

Here, Border One once again displays his diverse production capability within the realm of techno.

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Joaquin Ruiz' gem on 'Molecular Recordings'.

“Molecular Recordings is proud to unveil XX24, the latest release from Argentinean based producer Joaquin Ruiz. 
Known for his uncompromising approach to hypnotic techno, Ruiz delivers four original tracks that embody the label’s forward-thinking ethos while pushing into deeper, more experimental territory. 
Across the EP, he sculpts immersive atmospheres driven by raw grooves, hypnotic synth lines, and intricate sonic detail, where modular textures and industrial elements collide with refined production to create a sound that feels both elemental and meticulously engineered. 
Each piece unfolds with precision, balancing entrancing repetition with dynamic progression, drawing the listener into a dense and captivating journey that is as physical as it is cerebral. XX24 stands as both a showcase of Ruiz’s evolving artistry and a continuation of Molecular Recordings’ commitment to boundary-pushing techno”

Endlec - Under Brutal Law EP [HEX003]
Release date: 24/01/2020
Tracklist:
1. Use For Punishment (Original Mix) 
2. Class Of 89’ (Original Mix)
3. Concrete Destroyer (Original Mix) 
4. Rage Taster (Original Mix)
5. Who Ya Gonna Kill? (Original Mix)

Press release:
Since 2014 Greek artist Endlec has quickly become one of the mainstays within the sonic field
of industrially raw, driving techno with previous releases on Analogue, KR/LF Records and Bas Mooy’s label Mord. Having performed at the likes of Tresor and REX Club, along with taking influences from early 90s European techno and Detroit’s pioneers, Endlec now lands his next release on Barcelona based imprint HEX Recordings showcasing his fierce, tough techno sound.
‘Use For Punishment’ opens with spacey stabs, echoing chimes, driving kicks and crunchy snares until ‘Class Of 89’’ doubles up the percussion for a dark throbbing effect along with rushing rides, descending synths and rhythmic vocal hits. ‘Concrete Destroyer’ then thunders with a moody sound floor, cutting hi- hats and firing risers before ‘Rage Taster’ and ‘Who Ya Gonna Kill’ close proceedings with rattling, syncopated cymbals, haunting voices, thumping bass and electronically charging energy.

Under Brutal Law

Endlec - Who Ya Gonna Kill? [Artaphine Premiere]

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.
