Mala Junta w/ Tedesco 120525

Sevyn0000’s (@sevyn0000) set from our FOLD event in May is now available to listen back to in full. The New York-based producer and DJ shared a textured set with us that night, layered with psychedelic rhythms, spacious sound design and crunchy percussion. From the glitchy intro to the shadowy final track, we were hooked.

“Im currently living in the Inland Empire, but was originally from Los Angeles. House and Techno has always been around my life growing up since my parents introduced that music to me at such a young age. It was only a matter of time from then until I got invested into it. At the age of 18, I began DJing and taught myself mostly everything, with the help from my uncle, who also DJs and was involved with the underground rave scene in SoCal. Ever since then, my passion for the craft of DJing rapidly grew. I got into producing and spinning records around the same time, about 2 years ago. Currently, I find a lot of inspiration from Brazilian musicians and drum squads. People haven’t heard it yet, but a lot of my recent work is very detailed. It almost sounds like a homage to Samuel L Sessions or Paul Mac, who are two artists I find a lot of inspiration from for producing Techno.”

This week’s CENTER BOOTH set is brought to you by none other than Brooklyn’s WTCHCRFT aka one of the fiercest producers and DJs on the techno circuit, with principles as staunch and uncompromising as his most hammering club cuts.

A favourite at NYC institutions including Bossa Nova Civic Club, Paragon and Mood Ring, WTCHCRFT’s singular talents have also attracted bookings at leading clubs and events across the US and the world, including Chicago’s smartbar, Draaimolen Festival in the Netherlands, RSO.BERLIN, Munich’s Blitz, Dweller Festival and WIRE Festival. 

He’s released on labels including Clasico, Starry, BOYSNOIZE, HAVEN and, most memorably, on Al Gharib, where his 2024 One Struggle EP invoked cultural resistance in a time of fascism and genocide. In the past 22 months, much of his anti-capitalist, anti-colonial work has revolved around building solidarity in electronic music and politicizing the rave, demonstrating that such values enhance, rather than detract from, the potency of the music and vibe of the party.

Departing from the furious, pummelling energy of his techno sets, WTCHCRFT’s relentlessly entertaining CENTER BOOTH entry presents the best in modern experimental club music. Innovation and intrigue mark these body-jacking tracks from the likes of Sina xx, nextdimensional, Swimful and WTCHCRFT himself. Bouncy bass, fancy footwork, witchy acid, ghetto house, deconstructed club and other indescribable genres make up this agile, slippery set that promises to keep you guessing just as much as it will keep you moving. Hit the link below for a real treat from one of the realest out there.

WTCHCRFT – Center Booth ◎ S2E11

“It's not possible to constantly hold onto crisis. You have to have the love, and you have to have the magic. That's also life." - Toni Morrison

On 23rd of September, Jamaican artist Dion McKenzie aka TYGAPAW will join with Tresor Records to release IMMIGRANT, a two-track digital EP that marks a new chapter in their artistic journey.

With emotions to the fore on both cuts, TYGAPAW uses their music to detail two journeys they have undertaken over recent years: 

M32 riddim is a sonic representation of the pulse that races when survival mode kicks in; a pulse that is ever present as an immigrant in the United States of America. As such, the music is alert, verging on oppressive: fast-paced and constructed of waves of synths that feel like alarms and sirens heralding drums that could represent the heavy footfall of escape.

In stark contrast, second track Black Trans Masculine Experience is a vulnerable, intimate, melodic piece composed of loop-based overdubs and speech that gives profound insight into the isolation and erasure that comes while transitioning. Through a recorded conversation that took place in TYGAPAW’s living room in the fall of 2024, Kings-Lee Rose describes the process of becoming invisible as he transitions from being perceived as a Black woman to a Black man, and the drastic social shift that takes place during that process.

The message of Black Trans Masculine Experience is further enhanced by the self-directed and produced video which illustrates the emotional content and the feelings of solitude whilst also making space for the love and magic.

Together, the two pieces demonstrate the broad palette of an artist who takes their struggles and transmutes them into a powerful statement, or as McKenzie states, into “the sound of resilience”.

The phantom scent of poppers and concrete dust sets the scene for “Everybody,” the new single by artist duo M&R.

Forged in the afterglow of a New York rave in late 2024, Junior M and Henry R fused their distinct energies into a debut track for Los Angeles imprint Gyration Station. It is an introspective journey bridging hard house and tribal rhythms, coyly hovering over an iconic vocal sample, an inside joke between the two, from the film The Devil Wears Prada. The release is bolstered by two formidable remixes: one from NYC based multimedia artist Tr!ggered and another from France’s Nymed under his new alias, Dirty Mirage.

Henry R is a cartographer of feeling. With a decade spent crisscrossing the Midwest, Northeast, and his native Texas, he carries an arsenal of rare, unarchived vinyl and an ear for the specific frequency that unlocks a room’s ecstasy. His reputation is built on taste, a surgical attention to detail, and a proven ability to ignite any space he touches.

In that same span of time, Junior M has been on a parallel pilgrimage, shedding old skins and moving toward a playful dancefloor friendly sound that weaves Italo Disco, Dembow, and Synthwave into the broader American House and Club music tapestry.

Together, as M&R, their first collaborative work distills this shared history into a potent, warehouse-centric dance record. Their track is muscular, washed in red light, and dripping in sweat. It asks, with a knowing grin, “Where’s the Beef?” Henry R takes it one step further with his own ‘Tweaking Dub’, tried and tested at NYC’s darkest nightlife spaces.

The remixes refract their vision through two different prisms. Tr!ggered is not just a DJ. He is a visual artist, a live electronic instrumentalist, and a force of nature. His remix is a live, one take shot, a document of unbridled creative passion that highlights his raw expertise with the analog tools at his disposal. From Nymed emerges Dirty Mirage, a new project characterized by a deep, devotional love for old school techno and house. His contribution plugs directly into the current electrifying the queer nightlife hotspots of Paris, Athens, and beyond, a sound that is both timeless and urgently now.

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.
