“Kotti Island Disc” is a collaborative concept album which provides a foundation for the overall project “Kotti Island”, a multimedia exhibition at Kottbusser Tor in Berlin in January 2023. In collaboration with ten artists, various conceptual tracks were produced that are inspired by Kottbusser Tor. The multifaceted environment of “Kotti”, as it is locally known, offers an ideal surface upon which to play with and emphasize auditory details that can stimulate the way we imagine what this place means.

This exploration of Kottbusser Tor began with a series of field recordings made by the musician Cecilia Tosh, who is also the artistic director of “Kotti Island”. These field recordings, which create space in between extremes, form the basis of the album. They are collected snapshots, some of which have been sonically
de-contextualised, while others directly reproduce what was recorded—sometimes interpreting, sometimes documenting. The result is a sample pack composed of ambient recordings (which have been barely edited), edited recordings (which have been re-worked), shorter loops (percussive to melodic elements and basses) and vocalists (newspaper articles, online reports, Wikipedia entries and the artist’s own texts).

The composition of each track was preceded by a meeting with Cecilia Tosh at Kottbusser Tor, where the space was analysed in both auditory and visual terms and the atmosphere was absorbed. Afterwards, each participating artist received an individual sample pack with the field recordings as well as video clips depicting everyday situations at Kottbusser Tor made by Juma Hamdo and Jaś Miszewski. While the sample pack was meant as an inspiration, each artist was also required to use at least one element from it when composing.

“Kotti Island Disc” includes ten musical interpretations that show Kotti as a diverse and lively place. The project is intended as an artistic snapshot of a place in a constant state of flux. It is, furthermore, an invitation to participate in an auditory journey through Kottbusser Tor accompanied by ten very different artists.

Aria Series 49th Episode is now out with a techno lesson from master Jamie Behan (Bastardo Electrico // KilleKill)


One of Irish techno’s most dedicated warriors, Jamie Behan has been an unrelenting figure at the centre of the electronic music in Ireland for over two decades and is widely acknowledged as the godfather of the techno scene in his home city of Cork through his long-running club night and label “Bastardo Electrico”.

Despite being known as an out and out techno heavyweight, Behan’s sound stretches across old school Chicago house, electro, old-school rave & further. 

Undoubtedly a “DJ’s DJ” who has been keeping it real in the international techno community without caving to any bulls*** he has brought his intense but eclectic and funky brand of techno to clubs & festivals such as Tresor, Griessmuehle, Corsica Studios, Meat Free, Dimensions Festival and many others around Europe and beyond in England, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Malta, Switzerland, Jordan, UAE, and Bahrain.

Having released both solo productions and collaborations on Bastardo Electrico, Killekill, Nice & Nasty, & Shelter Records, Behan is stepping up his production game with a debut solo EP forthcoming on Bastardo Electrico and a forthcoming collaborations with fellow Irish DJ & Producer Cailin alongside further colorations with DJ Flush under their “Cork Bangers” alias to be announced soon for Killekill and 

Fear-E’s Posh End Music imprint alongside other artistic projects. Watch this space….

ARIA SERIES [049]- JAMIE BEHAN

Jowep is a 24-year-old vinyl-only DJ from the Netherlands. His focus is to create an atmosphere in which techno is rhythmic and driving. The choice to play exclusively with vinyl comes from the authenticity of music, namely the ability to touch LPs. Inspired on the dance floor by DVS1 and Freddy K.

This set is focused on the club peak time, so shake your hips and enjoy!

Mix: A&B Projects Reader Vol. 2

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.
