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.

Forte Vol. 13 brings together Anders Hajem, Vridian, 42, and Kabeer Arora—four artists offering distinct perspectives across the techno spectrum.
Spanning cinematic tension, lucid grooves, raw energy, and fast-paced psychedelia, this chapter captures the genre’s evolving shape, rooted in tradition, fluid in form.

Anders Hajem opens the release with “Lost in the Vortex” — a tension-laced piece built on dense textures and deep atmospheres.

PREMIERE⚡️Anders Hajem - Lost In The Vortex [Qilla Records]

Track written in fl producer and surge xt

Timeless to keep - Annauro

ON007 comes courtesy of shadowy producer Cliche Morph. Hailing from Belarus, the young, low-profile artist created some buzz by his stand-out track "Overwhelming Fear" from last year's Semantica compilation Index. Part One. The immaculately produced ON007 proves that track wasn't a fluke and solidifies his status as a talent to keep an eye on. The Fanon Flowers remix is the cherry on top.

Don't get caught in the Convenience Trap. 
Released 28th April 2017.

Since September 2015 Surgeon has been performing live improvised techno using hardware machines. 
This has been a gradual process of evolution over the 25 years that he’s been performing to a point where it really can’t be called DJing anymore.
He’s taken the techniques and inspiration from this live creative process and distilled them into these four tracks.
‘Convenience Trap’ follows on from the techniques learned in his ‘Bland Ambition’ release also on Dynamic Tension.

Always pushing forward against the plague of mediocrity.

Ahead of their highly anticipated 'DRIFT SONGS' LP which is set to arrive this October, UK dance music giants Rick Smith and Karl Hyde aka Underworld have linked up once again with their friend Ø [Phase] to present 'Border Country'.

The track marks the final part of DRIFT Episode 4 as part of the group's ambitious DRIFT series - an ongoing, fifty-two-week experiment where they publish new material every week of the year.

'Border Country' is the second collaboration with Londoner and DRIFT community member Ø [Phase]. Lithe and restless, it edges and darts through unmapped spaces into a place where grimy nocturnal electronics are driven hard by fizzing hi-hats and multiple voices rebound in from the peripheries.

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.
