rus'me gets the remix treatment from Answer Code Request, Ben Sims & Pangaea. This is the first of two EPs featuring remixes of tracks from the Trus'me Planet 4 album. Answer Code Request takes Our Future into new territory with two outstanding mixes. Remix 1 moves things to a much more sinister & foreboding place. Tightening the feel & tension of the original with all the hallmarks of classic Berlin techno. Remix 2 winds up & coils the track into a searing workout of early 90's hardcore breakbeat. Ben Sims takes control of Ring Round Heart, pushing the tempo & creating a whole new urgency in the track. This is proper no nonsense heads down business & tight as you like. The mix builds excellently well & manages to produce an epic amount of feel and emotion, dropping in & out of the groove with a sneaky breakbeat & vocal dubs. Pangaea tackles one of the albums more esoteric tracks in The Unexplained. He manages to work a wonderfully intriguing steppers beat which drops from nowhere after the highly beguiling metronomic extended opening. The tracks are getting plenty of play & plaudits from likes of Ben UFO, DJ Deep, Bicep & Anthony Parasole.

A1 - Trus'me - Our Future ( Answer Code Request Remix 1 )

Ever since their initial singles were released in the mid-1990s and became international calling cards for the Chain Reaction label, the Porter Ricks duo of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig have represented that crucible point in which techno music leaked into new social environments and became the background music for cutting-edge cultural critique. Their submerged “scuba” sound, presented in dark tone colors and reverberating to infinity, is now instantly identifiable as one of the ‘soundmarks’ of Berlin club culture. Just as importantly, it is still a palpable aftershock of a pre-millenial genre explosion that saw deep dub, shimmering post-rock, abstract hip-hop and art-damaged noise all drinking from the same well of inspiration. Together with restless international collaborators such as Kevin Martin, and theoretical thinktanks such as the Mille Plateaux label, Mellwig and Köner were key players in a larger decentralized rebellion against musical monoculture. Their stated desire to make unexpected timbral shifts as important to their compositions as rhythm, along with their indifference to concerns like public image, set up a situation that critic Kodwo Eshun picked up on early on (“no pictures or interviews act as shock absorbers…the full force of their inexplicable sounds falls around your ears.”)

For proof of Porter Ricks’ enduring legacy, look no further than the fact that “dub techno” is now a stylistic movement that has expanded far beyond the confines of Berlin and the Basic Channel / Chain Reaction label alliance (where Mellwig’s mastering skills also played a starring role). Lurid traces of PR’s aesthetic can now be found in the work of producers like Andy Stott and Miles Whittaker, showing the potential for the duo’s unique ‘aquatic’ techniques to be applied to a variety of different musical contexts. However, this does present Porter Ricks with the unique challenge of reasserting themselves in a scene that has mastered their sonic vocabulary so well, the originals themselves run the risk of sounding like imitators…are they up to the task?

Their new LP on Tresor, Anguilla Electrica, may be their first full-length release in seventeen full years, but it radiates with confidence and with a clarity and intensity rarely seen in a world so oversaturated with communications noise. It’s made clear at once that it’s a continuation of a sonic ideal rather than a tribute to what has already been achieved: the duo is not idly sitting back while their newer acolytes do their talking for them. From the outset, the title track “Anguilla Electrica” slithers to life with bouncing and panning sequences that cover the full frequency spectrum and provide a perfect update on Porter Ricks’ exploration of animalistic movement and perception. Elsewhere, pieces such as “Scuba Rondo” also reanimate the classic Porter Ricks sound in striking fashion, playfully setting up a virtual sonic kitchen in which gelatinous sound phrases blend with steamy hisses and distinct crackling. In other places, like “Port of Tangency” and “Shoal Beat,” the duo once again demonstrates just how effortlessly catchy the conversational tension between lockstep groove and slightly unhinged, unidentifiable sound material can be.

This new LP is well worth the wait and is a life-affirming one in an uncertain and perilous time, drowning out daily anxieties like a rush of incoming surf - yet it is far more invigorating than relaxing. True to the Porter Ricks tradition, it will be just as exciting hearing this music as it will be to experience what new cultural mutations it leaves in its wake

​Bjarki is one of electronic music's most unique and singular artists. Whether it's techno, ambient, expreimental or just plain fucking weird, chances are the Icelandic producer will have conjured something special up.

His latest EP 'Geothermal Sheep Vol.1' is a collection of tracks that he produced to be played into fields to herds of sheep in Iceland. We're not even joking, that's true.

Premiere: Bjarki 'Soda Sugarlicious'

The cosmic sky was illuminted by the faint flicker of glowing lights a million miles away. As she travelled in her fantastic spaceship she began to ponder the meaning behind it all, why it was here and how she should feel but as a mere speck of matter amidst the backdrop of it all. Astro intolleranza had been the name of her mission when based upon earth but now as she found herself floating across the sky an age away from home she began to think about her meaning. 

Ravechild is set to appear on the next Schleifen release. A record label he has been slowly been building momentum behind since February of last year. One to watch.

Gods and Myths

Empirical Distress - Candomblé (original Mix)

The slow and trancey virtuoso from Frankfurt is back to release his solo EP. Each track has its own movement - mysterious, tense, exploring, expanding. Each movement is a medicine for your flesh and soul. The EP also includes great sounds from Greece. The remix by Anatolian Weapons is, as always, something more than just an interpretation.

From the first tribal beats, this EP triggers your body to want to move, something we're sorely lacking these days. We hope you can shake off the pandemic cobwebs to these tunes, wherever you are.

We present the theme "LSDream", a movie theme accompanied by cosmic synthesizers that will help the bodies to relax and travel until lost in the immensity of sounds. A track as captivating as it is elegant, with the perfect amount of substance, it is presented in a powerful style that ranges from classic to cutting edge. Enjoy!

How We Woke Up In Boomland!

Delta Funktionen - How We Woke Up In Boomland!  (Deeptrax Records - DPTX-024) 2xLP

"Sometimes, darkness is not just an absence of light, but a turning point. A space where you stop, you face everything you have been and what you can no longer be. Every transformation entails changes, and to start a new path, it is necessary to leave something behind." - Trømmel / It can't always be night

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.
