Tresor 30 10/1 New Vinyl
Additional Information from Movie Mars. Berlin's legendary techno club and label Tresor celebrates its 30th anniversary with this massive compilation, available digitally or as a 12-record box set. Tresor was crucial in bonding Detroit's innovative techno scene with Berlin (and the rest of Europe), where dance music and club culture proved to be far more popular, and the label's compilations throughout the 1990s and 2000s traced the genre's development from the heart of the rave era to minimal techno's peak. If you're looking for an in-depth overview of Tresor's history, your best bet is to seek out some of these releases, specifically 2002's True Spirit box set, which gathered the best-known tracks from the label's past.
Tresor 30 is less focused on the label's own legacy than the past, present, and future of techno as a whole. Of the 52 tracks, only about a dozen have been previously released, and not all of them were originally issued by Tresor. The ones that come from the label's extensive back catalog include selections from Detroit pioneers like Blake Baxter and Jeff Mills, a bugged-out Joey Beltram single from 1995, and a cut from Porter Ricks' stellar 2017 comeback album. There's also non-Tresor-issued classics and lesser-known gems from indispensable artists like Juan Atkins, Basic Channel, Anthony "Shake" Shakir, and Underground Resistance (the first official release of the Nomadico remix of "The Final Frontier"), as well as the gorgeous 2018 ambient techno epic "In the Place I Sit" by Loidis (aka Huerco S).
Everything else is exclusive and freshly commissioned, and it covers an astonishing amount of ground. Flint, Michigan's Huey Mnemonic appears near the beginning with the bright, jubilant "Transmutation, " and tracks by Detroit's DJ Minx and Italy's Donato Dozzy hit a sweet spot between spacy and uplifting. There's a heavy presence of electro throughout the track listing. A transatlantic collaboration between Helena Hauff and Paris the Black Fu (Detroit Grand Pubahs) blends 4/4 thumps with jittery arpeggios and futuristic lyrics.
A previously released Drexciya track is followed by a direct homage from Russell E. Butler (titled "James Stinson on a Beach in the Mid-Atlantic") as well as a scorching cut from Drexciyan associate DJ Stingray 313.A few high-octane bangers are included, such as FJAAK's slamming, breakbeat-infused "Lovers" and Yazzus' hyped-up rave blaster Turn of Speed. " The more abstract selections include the erratic beats and riot samples of Speaker Music's "focus. Shoot, " the flickering reflections of Kenyan sound artist KMRU's "neutral points, " and a stretch of stunning downtempo and ambient tracks at the end, including Carlota's sparkling "Breakfast on the Moon, which would be perfect to play during an all-night set as the sun is coming up. With this monumental compilation, Tresor honors its 30th anniversary by continuing to boldly face the future. All items are Brand New.
