Title:	The Pressure
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	TRES 075EP

"Jay Denham (aka Vice and Black Man) heads the Black Nation recording cartel in Kalamazoo, Michigan and formerly recorded for Fragile and Transmat. His first outing on Tresor is a storming 4-tracker: 'Blaze It Up','Pitch Control' and 'Rain Man' are heavy with minimal 4/4 grooves and shifty sequences & quirky channels that work as easily at home as in both clubs and larger party settings. Title track 'The Pressure' runs snaky key sequences over mid-tempo drums for a late night groove that rounds out this solid package." Limited stock.

Title:	Balance
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	TRES 096CD

2nd full length for Tresor. "Where Tony Child's early work was almost solely concerned with his theories of communication. Balance encompasses a wider set of ideas. The reasoning behind the title works at two levels. Primarily it refers to the tension that exists between the musical influences Surgeon is drawing on, whilst continuing to produce in the techno genre he is involving styles of electronic music that he previously didn't feel to be either relevant or appropriate. He is convinced that techno has the power to operate both on the physical level as well as the cerebral, and his aim is to push experimental boundaries of sound without losing the physical relevance, most notably on the dancefloor. On a different level it refers to the recurring theme of balance as an essential to life that Surgeon is fascinated by. He draws a parallel between the ability of loud music to cross cultural differences, and the different perception of his new album which swings from experimentally contemplative when played quietly, to a powerful physical experience when he decibels are raised to club level."

Title:	Tresor Vol.7
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	TRES 123CD

"The Tresor label started to exist in the Berlin summer days of 1991 with the release of 'Sonic Destroyer' by the Detroit trio, Underground Resistance aka X-101. This track became a European club hit and is now -- despite the fast moving dance scene -- a classic. In the time period of 8 years the origin of the 'Berlin/Detroit - A Techno Alliance' connection has been successfully extended and ranges now up to Japan, here represented by DJ Shufflemaster, an upcoming star out of the Tokyo Techno underground. More international rising stars are Ben Sims, Steve Rachmad aka Sterac, James Ruskin and Karl O'Connor aka Regis, the 1st three from London, the latter one from Birmingham and all four highly recommended by Jeff Mills & Surgeon. The origin Detroit base is well represented by Juan Atkin's Infinity and Daniel Bell and from Athens, the capital of Greece, comes Savvas Ysatis, being remixed by Surgeon. Berlin shows up with no one else than Maurizio, Pacou and Rok. Note -- most of the tracks are unreleased and exclusive to Tresor Volume 7 - this release is coordinated with the Love Parade 1999!"

Title:	From The Far Future
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	TRES 141CD

"Native-Detroiter Terrence Dixon's longtime alliance with godfather Juan Atkins has helped forge his own powerful sound in the world of minimal techno. Since 1994, Dixon's presence has become well-established in the global underground for having produced some of the deepest atmosphere in the genre, surfacing especially in the co-production of Atkins' Skynet album from 1998. For 2000, dixon's exclusive album debut on Tresor entitled From the Far Future signals the beginning of a strong new relationship between artist and label. Essentially variations on a concept, From the Far Future is delightfully warm with dreamlike excursions through techno and house-based structures. Says Dixon himself, 'From The Far Future is all about respecting those who came before me, respecting the art of pure techno, taking bits and pieces of what's old and making it new once again.' Past, present and future are interwoven within eleven tracks, all compositionally unified but each able to stand alone when heard individually. The 50-minute journey they take is smooth and organic; specifically designed to be flexible; understood in club settings and at home. Alternating rhythms throb to the forefront while floated in echoey synthesizer washes. Subtle traces of some of most ingenious profiles in the history of electronic music are hinted at, including Kraftwerk, Derrick May, and Juan Atkins, bathing the listener in sensual nostalgia. Sublime."

Title:	Dreamsequence 3: The Collective
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TRES 160CD

"Deep Detroit's most original soulsonic hero launches into 2001 with his final chapter of the Dream Sequence trilogy. Celebrating Baxter's ten years with Tresor Records (since 1991!) across this all-new double CD never felt so good, dipping into House, Techno, Hip-Hop, and Funk schools with a concept album covering his many faces and sounds: From stomping Disco floor tracks to deeply mental excursions. 'Packed' is an understatement. Starting the rumpus with the slow jam Funk of 'Deeppa', Baxter's secret whispers flow through 'A Lot Like You' and 'Deep N Da Groove' before easing the game into the rockin Disco-Tech of 'Intoxicated' and 'FM Disco'. 'Compromised Evolution' and 'Hands of Time' pans Baxter's psychological depth while 'Soul Stirring' and ?We Vibe' keep the party rolling. Housey floor-filler tools like 'Laugh and Dog', 'Flying Saucer' together with the tough Techno of ?Work Dat', and 'Weomp!' keep the tempo mixed before the Ghetto Tech of ?'f You Were Mine' round out this quality sensory overload."

Artist:	LANDSTRUMM, NEIL
Title:	She Took A Bullet Meant For Me
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TRES 177CD

"Neil Landstrumm hacks his initials into history once again with the release of his long-awaited album She Took A Bullet Meant For Me. This full-length electronic sound clash has entirely re-chromed 'The Sound' with black synth washes and iron percussion on attack mode. She Took A Bullet... bridges a multitude of styles, mixing hard experimental techno, trashy breakbeat, doomsday Hip-Hop breakdance, spiraling electro and 'tronic funk... Then digitally mashing them up... edgy, moody and schizophrenic. Built entirely in Brooklyn New York, She Took A Bullet... fills the gap between the more experimental Scandinavia label, Landstrumm's Peacefrog roots and a cleverly constructed tragic synth-pop sound a la early Depeche Mode. Black-lipsticked vocals carry the mysterious 'bullet' theme throughout the album, demonstrating Landstrumm's fresh ears 3 years since 1998's Pro Audio LP and work with Scandinavia Animation for MTV and video game titles. The body popping Hip-Hop and broken 'trash' beats reference new rhythm directions for the decade-synth soundclash. Meanwhile runaway mediae play out the artist's digs at modern Western living and American life: the glamorously evil world of orgasmic politics, willing victims and beloved aggressors. Powerfully covered and complemented by designer Mat Consume, the front cover painting comes from the modern tragedy theme."

Title:	Late Night
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"

Catalog #:	TRES 183EP

"The Tresor Archiv series continues to roll on, and more skeletons were recently found in the many closets here at Tresor HQ?. Missing but now back in action are Jeff Mills' 'Late Night' mixes from 1993. The original version appeared on the man's first-ever debut album Waveform Transmission Vol. 1 (1992!), but his 'Mills Mix' remix has remained one of Tresor's most infamous 'lost tracks' since 1993. As it's believed that the last DAT of the remix was destroyed in a Chicago basement flood, the track was remastered in October 2001 by Moritz Von Oswald at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. This is the first time this long-lost classic has been available on Tresor. The B-Side 'Basic Human Design' is actually an instrumental version of 'Spider Formation' (from Axis Records AX-009)."

Armed with a huge catalog of music as well as his three 'Sound Sketch' releases on Tresor, Cisco's hand in the game still continues hitting clubs and floors every single weekend, year round and worldwide. The Advents's Tresor 'Sketches' are definitely closer to master plans than just sketches, and we're proud to announce The Advent debut on Tresor: Sketched For Life, which is the first album recording after two years. Both the double-CD and double-EP vinyl formats pack pure Advent Techno, hitting everything between rushing tough stuff and more reduced grooves for all floors." Limited stock.

Himself inspired by the powers of Detroit and especially Suburban Knight's 'The Art of Stalking', The Mover's own melancholic but deeply musical sound mirrors modern urban life (and lifelessness) and still remains experimental techno far ahead of anyone's time and the inspiration for an immense array of artists and DJs. Tresor is proud to present The Mover's Frontal Frustration, 10 new dark & deep phuture tracks from the Master.

"Presenting the long-awaited Tresor LP debut from Japan's master EQ melter Chester Beatty. Called Shot Of Love, The 14-track CD was produced and mixed down to sound like an outer space radio transmission: a non-stop mix of Tokyo manga, martinis and soulpower for that Summer of 2003 freelove.

Catalog #:	TRES 205CD

"During the last decade no other club has been more written about than Berlin's Tresor, unleashing the trends of the time and making pioneering achievements with the worlds best-known DJs. Hidden directly behind the former demarcation line at Potsdamer Platz, this unquestionable cult spot for the techno genre is today jointly responsible for implicating the breakthrough for a new musical generation as well as the unification of the East & West Berliner youth. This decrepit cellar had become the germinating cell for the Berlin Techno scene and soon developed a call that went far beyond national borders. At the same time Tresor Records became the internal underground and electronic music company able to offer its artists a globally heard platform -- for almost 12 years now. The Tresor compilations always played a very special role within the artist album releases, combining the clubtracks at Tresor and on international dancefloors, the output of new talents and Techno originators -- as they were and are always unified during a kicking party night. Included here are a lot of tracks appearing for the first time on CD."

Title:	It's Not Over: Compilation Vol. 13
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	TRES 220CD

"Tresor Club Berlin: in the first two weeks of April 2005, a techno milestone in the Leipzigerstrasse was celebrated not only because of its final cut but also because of its lasting treasure: 14 days closing parties, 14 years of loyalty to the Berlin sound, to the Tresor Sound and to club culture itself. Not since the mid-'80s closing of Studio 54 in New York, at the dawn of techno's birth, has a dance club's final days received such international attention. And it became a summit for an amazing league of talented friends in the Tresor family who came from around the world to share their respect, rip the sound out of the ground in the Leipzigerstrasse and move it into the hearts of the clubbers who never wavered in their support. The same Tresor Sound that lives on without the Leipzigerstrasse because one thing is for sure: It's Not Over. The compilation title speaks for itself, and many of the top international electronic music artists who played at Tresor's last parties have produced tracks exclusively for the compilation: personal souvenirs in a memorial to a legend. This double CD / double vinyl collection is the ultimate frame to a landmark in club history, and the rousing list of friends includes DJ Rush, Joey Beltram, Dave Tarrida, Stewart Walker, Scan 7, Oscar Mulero, Gary Martin, Pacou, Steve Bicknell, Todd Bodine, Recyver Dogs, 3ST aka DJ Dry and more."

Title:	Alleys of Your Mind/Off to Battle
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"

Catalog #:	TRES 211EP

Two tracks off the forthcoming 20 Years of Metroplex album. The Cybotron track is from 1981! Remastered Moriz von Oswald. Model 500's "Off To Battle" from 1987. Two all-time classics by Juan Atkins. "When talking about the foundations of electronic music, or even techno music itself, mostly European names drop like Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Normal, Anne Clark, Eno... and Cybotron aka Model 500 aka Juan Atkins. 'Alleys Of Your Mind' takes you to a time of electro simplicity, so bare and sequential it tends to raise hairs and take you back to a time of radical changes in dance music around the world."

"All tracks unreleased and recorded exclusively for Tresor. Berlin Sessions is the first full-length album from Detroit techno originator Juan Atkins since 1998. When talking about the foundations of electronic music, or even techno music itself, mostly European names drop like Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Normal, Anne Clark, Eno...and Cybotron aka Model 500 aka Infiniti aka Juan Atkins. Mr. Atkins was unique in researching and experimenting with future electronics of American shores in Detroit long before the term 'techno' have even been used."

"Even though Oscar Mulero has been a driving force on the Iberian Peninsula since techno music's earliest and loudest cries, his elucidation of this ever-changing electronic dance music style has clearly brought him to the forefront of the European and international scene. A literal icon of the new century, his producing, mixing, composing and DJ talent seem to be unstoppable, as apparent on his own labels Warm Up and Pole Recordings. The lucky clubbers in Madrid and all over Spain, who have praised him for more than a decade have also embraced the cooperation with Tresor Berlin, and the unforgettable guest gigs around Spain at packed Tresor parties, and gigs at the former Tresor Club in Berlin."

Title:	The Never Engine
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	TRES 231LP

Double LP version; one LP-only exclusive track. "These are electronic science fiction sonnets; aural choreography for other life forms; theorem engineering. Put 'XPUTE theWoopWoop' between your ears: the stark simplicity creates suspicion but you are drawn inwards. Both 'rogue PROTOCHI' and 'PROTOCHI rearMount' cautiously allow the drone to keep its prominence and you are infected without knowing it. The bass dredges a sublime saturation through many of the tracks (check 'SAGA' and 'PERCOL ecoDrive'), and even allows for a fantastic voyage you can take with your MP3 player on the go. If this is the first chapter, we can only imagine the futuristic, celestial steps Cristian Vogel will take before his engines are fit for human consumption."

"Six and a half years after the release of his last album Into Submission on Tresor, James Ruskin returns with The Dash, delivering prodigious new tracks that are not only stunning in contrast to his earlier dark and urban techno, but even startling as the tracks unfold in bold innovation. The track 'Lahaine' is taken from the album, revealing a new, very personal and elegant Ruskin who shows determined, decisive craftsmanship and a nascent approach towards production techniques he describes as trying to 'bridge the gap between music designed to listen to and music I would use as a DJ at the weekend.'"

"Six and a half years after the release of his last album Into Submission on Tresor (Tresor 173), James Ruskin returns with The Dash, delivering prodigious new tracks that are not only stunning in contrast to his earlier dark and urban techno but even startling as the tracks unfold in bold innovation. With The Dash James Ruskin is in full control and weaves a work of penetrating electronica that shares dancefloor pieces with heady, downbeat soundscapes. An album of integral finery that will have you 'listening' more intently with each play."

Artist:	X-102
Title:	Titan EP
Label:	TRESOR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TRES 234EP

"In 1992, Jeff Mills, Mike Banks and Robert Hood -- still known at that time as Underground Resistance -- released what was probably the most futuristic album in modern electronic music: X-102 Discovers The Rings Of Saturn (Tresor.004/UR), as part of their X-10... series. The tracks on X-102 were reduced to minimal levels, looping with a marginal BMP rate, spacey and sometimes entirely without beats. This was revolutionary: listeners had just become accustomed to the uncompromising Detroit techno sound that the three of them had produced so far. Thus on the way to Saturn they surpassed even themselves, if not a decade jump then at least 15 years ahead of their time. The transition phase between former recording techniques and the computer age resounded on the album, and seemed as if it had been recorded with computers that had not yet been invented. In fact, the unconventional tracks resulted from a process of cutting up the taped material and then pasting together again. The album has not been available since the end of the last century and thus it's become difficult for the new generation to appreciate the work. One also tends to forget that very little was known at that time about the second largest planet in our solar system. Only since the Cassini/Huygen missions have we been able to gather images and awareness about Saturn, its moons, and the consistency of its rings. Jeff Mills' fascination for the planet remained intact but to reanimate the project he had but one requirement: only together with Mike Banks. Until now this hasn't been possible because since the 1990s both co-founding members of UR have gone their separate musical ways. But finally they've again joined forces to activate together their second Saturn mission. Indeed this alone makes X-102 Rediscovers The Rings Of Saturn a milestone. But the innovators wouldn't be such if they didn't rediscover the tracks from the first mission (which therefore again indirectly involves Robert Hood) and on that base produce new, unreleased tracks reflecting their personal development and the knowledge gained through modern space research."
