Since 1991, Tresor has provided a home for artists to develop their ideas for advanced new sounds and broadcast them to the world. The pioneers that first traversed the Detroit-Berlin connection and were at the forefront of a new cultural movement gave to Tresor its original and continuing mission: community, resistance and reshaping the world to come.

The Tresor 30 compilation represents a major landmark in this continuing history of electronic music. This unique collection of music profiles some of the artists that gave the previous three decades of Tresor its sound and foundation, but it also casts its gaze forward. Writing new postcards from the future, this collection brings new artists who maintain a connection to that original mission to the fore, charting ways in which this ethos can continue to build bridges and break walls in the next 30 years.

Bringing together 52 essential tracks - both classics and exclusive commissions - each of the 12 records in this box-set charts a unique line of flight from those artists that helped define the shape of this new music to those who continue to pattern its landscape further.

The future is bright and it’s now.

Christina Chatfield - Interpretations Vol IV - 01 Sutro (Erika's Soaked Mix)

A homage to her experiences in the Ballroom community, Myst Milano's 'No Shade' was originally released in 2021 to critical acclaim. Inspired by vocalists like Moi Renee and Rageous who pioneered 'Bitch House', Polish duo Catz 'n Dogz now rework the sultry original into fully-fledged club heater 'Feed My Hunger (No Shade)'. Upping the tempo while weaving in a heavier bassline and erupting percussion, this is club music at its boldest, brightest and with just the right amount of attitude.

Hot on the heels of his recent club smash, “The Attention Deficit Track,” Skream returns to CircoLoco Records with longtime collaborator Jansons for a breakbeat-fueled instant classic, “World Is Empty.” Centered around an irresistible sample from none other than The Supremes, the track deploys a driving electro bassline and nostalgic synth pads as it builds to an emotional vocal breakdown. 

“World Is Empty” from Skream and Jansons follows on from recent CircoLoco Records releases, “NYWTF” from Chloé Caillet featuring Mikhail Beltran, “IZA” from Map.ache, and “On My Own Now” from DJ Tennis & Ashee featuring Lady Donli.

For Erika’s second album “Anevite Void”, she explores her live process as it permeates everything she does, including documenting the process of life in the elaborate sci fi mythology she created. 

@erikadotnet began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live. Her depth of thought and clarity of vision has led to her mentoring people on live performance through the In Bloom platform, where she has made a large impact on many up and coming musicians. 

“Anevite Void”, Erika’s new album, finds her organically writing songs for her live shows, allowing them to take shape through performance, and later recording them in the studio, making this the first album she has entirely written and produced on her own. Mixed by long time collaborator BMG, she finds this record as the launching point for a new process for her.

Conceptually, this album was inspired by “the irregular life cycles created by three suns circling over a planetary organism that presents two major biomes: rocky crystalline desert, and deep layered forest, each of which exists above and/or below ground, depending on what phase the suns are in.” From this realm the album took shape. She also chronicled this concept in drawings but found this painting by Detroit puckish punk legend Nai Sammon perfectly visually explained the concept, and chose it for the cover. She describes “each track is about an organic process that occurs: acts of survival of the biomes, or what happens between them and the multitude of other beings that they host.”

Erika is currently splitting her time between being based in Berlin and Detroit, is part of the triumvirate that runs Interdimensional Transmissions (BMG, Erika and Amber) that are releasing this record and produce legendary events such as No Way Back, Samhain and Return to the Source. She performs live and DJs and collaborates and oozes sonic truth in its many forms. Visit the “Anevite Void” in early 2023.

“Vivid” and “otherworldly” are words sometimes used to try and describe @erikadotnet’s singular sound. Combining a fresh, forward-thinking approach with a strong connection to her roots and the wider scene, Erika has become an influential presence in the years since she was first gifted a TR-606 by BMG and invited to join Ectomorph. 

As a producer, her work is grounded in techno and electro, but often goes much further afield, incorporating rough textures and abstract kaleidoscopic experimentation to great effect.
Alongside long-time collaborators BMG and Amber, she runs the highly-regarded label Interdimensional Transmissions (@ithqdetroit). This platform has allowed her to delve deep on a sonic level through a string of impactful solo and collaborative releases, while also overseeing and contributing to legendary Detroit events Samhain, No Way Back and Return to the Source.

The majesty in Erika’s Patterns of Perception 111 comes as much from its restraint as it does from its vibrancy. Layers of rhythm and percussion swirl and elevate, revealing intricate new patterns at every juncture. And while Erika’s expert pacing and evocative atmospheres offer a sense of low-slung sophistication, a subtle, raw energy builds, bristling just under the surface.

Ende Juli 2023 - auf dem Acker des Nation of Gondwana Festivals - haben wir ab Mitternacht des zweiten Festivaltags den "Bei Birke" Floor übernommen und zu dritt die musikalische Reise in den frühen Morgen gestaltet. Vor uns ging es sehr schnell zu und um die Tanzenden in ihrem Beat weitergrooven zu lassen, stiegen wir hier ein und fuhren das Tempo langsam runter - in ein wunderschönes Morgengrauen. Dort angekommen, breiteten wir euch einen sehr groovigen Klangteppich aus, voller kleiner Details und mit viel Platz zum Verlustiggehen. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir - Erika, Mareena und Resom - euch dorthin begleiten konnten. Viel Spass beim Nachhören!  Danke Team "Bei Birke" und überhaupt an die "Nation of Gondwana" für den praktischen Einblick in eine gelebte Utopie.

At the end of July 2023, on the field of the Nation of Gondwana Festival – in the middle of the night of the second day, we were allowed to take over the musical design of the "Bei Birke" floor and start a journey into the morning with those present. Before we took over it was quite fast, so to let the dancers groove on in their beat, we stepped in and slowly brought down the tempo, into a beautiful dawn. Once there, we spread you a very groovy sound carpet, full of small details and with so much space to get lost. We are very happy that we - Erika, Mareena and Resom - could accompany you there. Have fun listening! Thank you team "Bei Birke" and in general to the "Nation of Gondwana" for the practical insight into a lived utopia.

“Anevite Void Remixed” showcases some of the many diverse influences on Erika’s critically acclaimed second solo album “Anevite Void”. 

Here her ambient album closer “Wandering Mountain” transforms into two faces of techno, first the monolithic hypnotic slab of sound from Mike Parker then to a powerful peak time melodic banger from Wata Igarashi. The other side features a totally different take on her influences, with Eris Drew delivering her “Body Rock Remix” fusing a number of styles to push the highlight of Erika’s album to new heights, and Whodat discovering a deeper side to “Tomorrow’s Fires”. The digital version includes a slamming techno and electro fusion mix from Noncompliant of “Anion”. 

Erika began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live. Her depth of thought and clarity of vision has led to her mentoring people on live performance through the In Bloom platform, where she has made a large impact on many up and coming musicians. 

Erika is currently splitting her time between being based in Berlin and Detroit, is part of the triumvirate that runs Interdimensional Transmissions (BMG, Erika and Amber) that are releasing this record and produce legendary events such as No Way Back, Samhain and Return to the Source. She performs live and DJs and collaborates and oozes sonic truth in its many forms. Visit the “Anevite Void Remixed” in fall 2023.

EPM Podcast 129 comes from Detroit electro-techno experimentalists, Ectomorph. Now officially comprised of BMG & Erika they have continued to furrow their own idiosyncratic path through the contemporary electronic landscape. It’s this uncompromising view that now comes into focus with their kaleidoscopic mix. From the pulsating experimentalism of Jed James and r2π, to the tweaked electro of Techmarine Bottom Feeders and Datawave, nuanced techno of Forest Drive West and Mike Parker to the tough industrialism of Rhys Fulber and SHXCXCHCXSH they take us on a pilgrimage to all four pillars of the Techno anti-rule book. With their live shows pushing an improvisational and organic format, this DJ mix sees them tackle the dancefloor with a more direct, pressure building intensity. 

‘Ectomorph’s ‘Masonic (Live in Detroit)’ and Erika’s ‘The Filtered Sun (Live)’ are out now on Interdimensional Transmissions.

Ectomorph’s remix of ‘Sons of Thunder’ features on the new Techmarine Bottom Feeders EP ‘The Oceanic Depths of Jupiter’ (EPMMusic).

Techno Music (M500 Version)

Recently, we have accepted a new resident into our ranks and are finally publishing her live within our podcast. Once Zhenya studied drama of cinema, but the language of notes and sounds turned out to be closer to her. With the help of music that is not limited by stylistic frames, she tells stories of feelings or life states and human experiences, which is reflected in the titles of the tracks.

In recent years, the nickname Sestrica has become familiar to Russian dance floors, and her music has attracted the attention of the authoritative Dave Clarke, British fanzine Mixmag, who included the track For The Wrong Reasons in the Best New Techno selection. Our French friend Umwelt, who released her release on his label and of course m_division, because her live periodically began to decorate our line-ups, in general, all the puzzles have come together, we ask you to love and favor and present her live, recorded on the main stage of the GAMMA festival 2020

С недавних пор мы приняли в свои ряды нового резидента и наконец публикуем в рамках нашего подкаста ее лайв, знакомьтесь, Sestrica. Когда-то Женя училась на драматургии кино, но язык нот и звуков оказался ей ближе. С помощью музыки, не ограниченной стилистическими рамками она рассказывает истории чувств или жизненных состояний и человеческого опыта, что отражено и в названиях треков. 
За последние годы ник Sestrica стал привычным для отечественных танцполов, а ее музыка привлекла внимание авторитетного Dave Clarke,  британского фэнзина Mixmag, который включил трек For The Wrong Reasons в подборку Best New Techno. Нашего французского друга Umwelt, который выпустил ее релиз на своем лейбле и конечно m_division, потому что ее лайвы периодически стали украшать наши лайн-апы, в общем все паззлы сложились, просим любить и жаловать и представляем ее лайв, записанный на главной сцене фестиваля GAMMA 2020

m_division podcast 020 : Sestrica [live] @ Gamma Festival 2020

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.
