Tresor

Tresor is a Berlin-based techno label that was founded in July 1991 by Dimitri Hegemann. The label takes its name from the techno club that was established in an underground vault after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Tresor was formerly a division of another label, and it has undergone changes to its label code over the years.

From 1991 to 2002, Tresor had the label code LC 7572 / LC 07572. Afterward, from 2002 onwards, the label's code changed to LC 3702 / LC 03702.

Tresor has played a significant role in shaping the techno music scene with its authoritative presence and influential releases. With its roots deeply embedded in Berlin's rich musical history, Tresor continues to be at the forefront of electronic music innovation and remains a respected force within the industry.

Back In Stock

The Ghana-born, London-bred, now Berlin-based producer’s research into afro-futurism, envisaging a path forward for science, technology and culture through the black experience, has impressed a deep vision on this EP. Yazzus sets like a cartographer, using her tracks to explore a technologically advanced world, each representing different regions and environments.

Human Error Processor introduces an ear-worming percussion pattern nearly swamped by distorted bass drums and a vocal sample screwed just beyond recognition. Perforated leads with a 150bpm four to the floor stomp, infectious and supercharged. Gluey synth motions soak in an otherworldliness, where industrious, mechanical rhythms map out futurist structures in all directions.

Metro City Bay Area exhibits a ghettotech soul, lean and bouncy - this part of the galaxy is an infinite source of fun, with the heart of groove at its core. Three Deities brings adventurers of its region towards higher powers, its ravey synths and an engulfing bass provoke a complete NRG release, ascending into a spiritual trance where dense melodies bubble and fizz. Digital-only track United By Fate meddles busy vocal samples with searching melodies, a fitting end to the kaleidoscopic that is Black Metropolis.
