OECUS Premiere // Enkō

Extract from "Kappa EP" [HYSEP28] - @hayescollective
Release date: 30th July 2021

Enkō’s diversified Kappa EP on Hayes pays homage to several styles and rhythm arrangements. The breakbeat/techno combo assembled on quasi-organic percussion and nuclear textures is a jazz-machine crossbreed whilst the old school linearity, commanding chords and uplifting charm of the two classic 4/4 cuts bring order and chaos to the stage.

'Return' to the first in a series of digital releases to celebrate Tresor’s 30th anniversary and the next generation to come: Fireground's incredible EP opener, a gritty experimental session. Strong, broken drums resolve in majestic pads gravitating around its rock-solid ground.
_

Fireground is the collaboration of Angela and Daniele, who are predominantly known for their output of Techno and Electro via their own label R12 Records. The Napolitan duo delivered a timeless release for Tresor earlier in 2021 that's expertly connecting classic Birmingham sound of the 90s and early 2000s - think Surgeon’s Tresor trilogy - with current research in Techno.

For our 5th release, we're happy to present “Portraits of a Collective Hallucination”, the debut EP from Regina Leather (aka Paolo Di Nola/Cosmic Metal Mother), a multimedia artist working primarily with sound and image.

“This project is an experiment revolving around the tones and timbers generated during the break down of machinery and the signals emitted erroneously during malfunction, framed within a musical landscape, where repetition and the depth of the chords creates textures used to recontextualize these cyclical sounds into an organic dialogue between all elements.” - Regina Leather

“Comunicazione Uno” originally appeared on V/A - The Power of Movements in Plants (ELE-R001) in 2012.

Written and produced by Paolo Di Nola
Mastered by Helmut @ D&M

Warok’s last release of 2020 consists of a mixture of intricate breakbeat & hypnotic techno courtesy of Tom Place. Having been featured on Bade records, Typeless & MOTZ to name a few, he brings his signature fusion of breaks, techno, electro & dubstep to the label. ‘Core Values' leads out with warm atmospheric pads & leads over a complex breakbeat sequence; a perfect warmup track. Next follows ‘Destructive sequences’; a hard hitting rolling techno track, punctuated with deep bass growls beneath. ‘Destructive Sequence (JC Laurent remix)’ is next up, putting an awesome breakbeat spin on the track, changing into a glitchy, intricate groove which is sure to get clubs moving. ‘Simple Maths’ is fourth; a through and through techno tool with a hypnotic groove that bounces along effortlessly. Following that is the second remix of the EP; once again by JC Laurent is a darker, noisier take on the track ‘Simple Maths’. Finally the title track “Bioluminescence’ finishes the EP with a bang, with combination of hard hitting breaks, dubstep rhythms and an enormous euphoric breakdown to end.

[WRK037] Tom Place - Bioluminescence incl JC Laurent Remix • 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.
