New SPND20 Mixtape! In session: @gaston-volpe 📼

Straight from Buenos Aires, Volpe knows how to turn grooves into full-body experiences. A regular at Berlin’s Tresor, RSO and Berghain, he’s also left his mark as a producer with releases on a.r.t.less, Mitsubasa, Frenzy, and Sungate. Through his own imprint Transcend, he champions timeless sounds that cut across genres while keeping the focus on depth and groove.

This SPND20 Mix captures that spirit in motion: a live jam on the Ableton Push 3, weaving unreleased cuts and reworked remixes into a high-energy ride. Rolling drums, jazzy progressions, and waves of delay and echo pull Detroit and Dub techno into dialogue with tribal house and Latin/Cuban/African rhythms. Raw, fluid, and glowing with Volpe’s unmistakable touch - precision layered with freedom, structure fused with soul.

Tune in and let the groove move you. 🖤

New SPND20 Mixtape in the vault: @benales on duty. 📼

Since the late 90s, the French selector has been shaping floors with his signature blend of raw, deep, Detroit-tinged techno. A regular at institutions like Tresor, Rex Club, and Radion, he’s shared booths with heavyweights like DVS1, Surgeon, Steve Bicknell, and James Ruskin. Add to that a producer’s catalogue on labels such as Sino, KEY Vinyl, Construct Re-Form, Clergy, and more - Benales is true to the craft.🔊

For his SPND20 Mixtape, he went fully purist: two Technics SL-1200MK2s, a mixer, and a Zoom H5 - with nothing but records from his personal archive. Expect tracks spanning early 90s gems through 2000s essentials to today’s sharpest cuts. It’s a vinyl-only journey that captures decades of techno in motion, stitched together with the raw energy of the booth and the precision of a craftsman.

A high-pressure, club-ready mix that will leave you craving those endless nights and basement floors. 🖤

Patrick Siech begun spinning records in southern Sweden in the late ‘90s, making a name for himself as a club promoter and skilled DJ. Twenty-five years later, his close connection and avid respect for the dance floor and its multitude of inhabitants is still at the very core of Patrick’s enterprise both as a DJ and a producer. To connect with the crowd at an almost primal tribal level, to create a vibe of togetherness and exclusiveness, to hypnotize and unite all the individuals in the dance floor into one single collective mind. These are the goals of Patrick Siech. Witnesses from countless secluded afterhours parties can testify to his success, as can thousands of dancers in prestigious clubs and venues like Berghain, Tresor or Awakenings. Once the connection is made, the capacity or prestige of the venue is nothing – the vibe is everything.

New SPND20 Mixtape just landed - @gina-demarchi in control. ⚡️

Born and raised in Buenos Aires and now resonating across Europe’s underground, Gina Demarchi has carved out her own lane between groove, intensity, and drive. A resident at Argentina’s iconic Fungi, she’s been leaving her mark on floors from Tresor and RSO to HÖR, Rote Sonne, and beyond.

Her SPND20 Mixtape is a hypnotic ride at high speeds - maintaining groove and character while hitting with full force. It weaves tribal, hardgroove, and dub techno with flashes of hip-hop-inspired vocals, a nod to DJ Rush and other icons who shaped her expressive sound.

Recorded the purist way: two Technics MK2s, a Xone 92, and nothing but vinyl. From the very first second, Gina flips expectations - opening with something completely unexpected before locking into full-speed motion. It’s fast, magnetic, and unmistakably her.

Turn it up, lock in, and let the rhythm take over. 🖤

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.
