Urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: The tracks on Todd Bodine’s new EP develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the A-side: “Dark Matter“. The increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. The same qualities infuse “Space and Stop” on the B-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. These are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. The digital bonus track “Back Flip“ gives us a little breathing space. No less urgent, but a more pure and inward looking sound. All in all, Todd Bodine proves again with his new EP - the first release after his highly successful album, “Forms” – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

With his very unique version of detroit inspired driving Deep House Todd Bodine is a long contender on our list of favourite secret waapons.
And yet again he does not disappoint - A grown up groove loaded atmospheric mix - each track is standalone if it must but the whole album sounds like made in one piece. “Forms” is perhaps the most complex and mature album that both, the Berlin producer and DJ but also Highgrade Records have accomplished to date.
A worldwide Todd Bodine tour is currently in the pipeline, stay tuned!

“This is my best album for sure“, says Todd. We can’t be exactly sure on that one, all three albums from Todd Bodine have been great. “Forms” however, is perhaps the most complex and mature album that the Berlin producer and DJ has accomplished to date. And it’s also out with us! Todd has worked at full speed over the last six months to bring us this fine piece of work. As a DJ playing around the world and as a producer in the highest ranks of consistency, Todd Bodine has constantly developed as an artist. Releases and remixes on respected labels, and collaborations with various artists have made him an internationally popular electronic musician. In 2007 he finally began to perform as a live act, and what club would better fit Todd’s new live premiere than the Panorama Bar in Berlin!? Todd shows with “Forms“, his innate knowledge of the two sides of electronic dance music. This is a meeting of peaktime euphoria with the relaxing bliss of the hazy morning light. A meeting of hypnotic natural rhythms and driving cut-up sounds. Todd can impress you with dancefloor bombs and also with his sophisticated sound visions. The sound of Detroit would probably be the best comparison. All of the tracks are cleverly designed to work without being overly intellectual. Everything flows and is filled with a subtle density of character that is well known to those familiar with Todd Bodine. This album speaks it’s own language, a rare and unique form of communication that very few other producers are able to replicate. A worldwide Todd Bodine tour is currently in the pipeline, stay tuned!

Todd Bodine demonstrates with this EP once again extraordenary taste and skills. After a very successfull excursion on Claude van Strokes Mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked
live-act and DJ he presents on „Unexpected life-form“ two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. Todd Bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. And he‘s doing it by following his own unique style. On the A-side „Calypso“ captivates you right after a few seconds with
it‘s pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. Developing a drive which won‘t miss it‘s impact on any floor. „Snakeskin“ on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. Sounds like: Detroit without kitsch. Or like a cross between Matthew Johnson, Robert Hood and Fabrice Lig. To put it in other words: a typical Todd Bodine release in the best sense. Allready a true highlight in the Highgradecatalogue in 20

further adventures in tech-funk with the latest installment in Todd Bodine's established "digital madness" series. the mid-paced, stripped riddim of "black cup" not only warms your dancing leg up nicely but also digs deep into your subconcious mind with vocal snippets of a famous house hit from a few years back slowed down and sounding like a hypnotist, yet this is not meant for you to rest, as "your mission" on the flip reminds you of your duty to wiggles dat ass: this is not only made clear buy the overbubbling synth backings but also by a authoritarian snare relentlessly driving things forward. "could place" keeps you on your toes with more stripped down funk and a crazy percussive sound that is sure to get stuck in your head and bounce from one side to the other like internal chinese water torture.

Juan Atkins' Infiniti project combines raw tactility and puristic elegance with Skynet, where slinking grooves mask chaotic frequencies and roughly-hewn structure. Alongside fellow Detroit legend Terrence Dixon who appears on several tracks, Atkins exposes the life and emotion in machines, outputting a biomorphic atmosphere of industrial soul. The ongoing importance of this album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor.

If there's one thing Jonas Kopp has proven over the last decade is that he can turn his hand to just about anything. Since debuting on P?rter's revered MindTrip Music back in 2006, the Buenos Aires native has managed to rack up a rich and compelling discography, coursing with ease through electronic music's various forms. From warm Chicago house through to deep, dark and driving techno on labels like Deeply Rooted House, Stroboscopic Artefacts and more, Kopp's hypnotic and heady sentiment has remained the red thread throughout, which has allowed him to ?ourish as one of techno's more liberal dance ?oor purveyors. More recently, for Illian Tape he strayed out of the ring entirely to deliver two billowing, orchestral-sized ambient works; proof that there's still plenty more to come from someone already so well-versed and dexterous in his craft. Red Plented EP weaves Kopp's discursive repertoire into a single and concise narrative, covering both familiar ground and exploring new and spellbinding territories, along with just a hint of cosmic neo-retroism that makes this a welcomed edition to the Tresor catalogue. Despite having just a single release on the label so far, "X" featuring on DJ Hell's 2013 Kern Vol.2 compilation, Kopp has been a ?rm ?xture at the club since 2011. Jonas Kopp is the next in line of contemporary luminaries that Tresor proudly welcomes to the fold.

Marcelus returns to Tresor Records with 'Shine', the third EP on the Berlin powerhouse. Following the shiny and warm 'Emerald' EP released a year ago, Marcelus presents here a diverse EP reviewing the many facets of the extra-talented Parisian producer. While the A-side is adamantly tough and aimed to be used and abused in the vault during the most feverish and damp hours, Marcelus offers two delicate and very personal numbers on the B-side. A complex and rich 12" to be discovered in very different listening atmospheres.

Fifteen years have passed since the release of the first and only 'Demo Tracks' compilation to date on Tresor Records. For this new commencement, we are proud to present three exceptional upcoming producers, selected amongst the various different paperboard envellopes and electronic communications received daily, here in the vault. Acronym has been slowly and mysteriously instructing his sound over the last three years through his own Dimensional Exploration imprint out of Stockholm. With 'Nabu' he presents a dimension of his work so far only known to those who had the chance to hear him perform live. Hailing from the northern Spanish surroundings of Bilbao, J.C. is a young producer whose work has surfaced on labels like Deeply Rooted or Greener. He also runs an eponymous record series and offers here a shaking number 'CheNox', keeping his ears riveted on the Berlin sound. Last but far from least, Zadig is a producer who has been regularly catching our attention.
Growing figure of the French and Parisian scene, his polished sound possesses many different facets. With 'Panic', Zadig looks back to some of the crudest moments of the Tresor catalog.

Not much more than a year has passed since the Zenker Brothers presented their debut EP – ‘Lion in Mars’ – on Tresor Records. The follow-up record segues perfectly between a triumphant year in the studio and in performance, and a 2014 which promises to take their growing reputation for blazing techno to new heights. ‘Stratus Phunk’ is an incendiary record, developing the ideas seeded in their first release to their fullest extent. The title track runs along the entire A-side. Building the raw acoustic sounds of wind. instruments into a rolling jam which soon becomes an unstoppable locomotive, shape -shifting in and out of smoky synth lines, tracky hi-hats and acetic basslines, « Stratus Phunk » is a vintage tune forged in the Tresor basement furnace. On the flip, « Thirty-Two » and « Vamp Like » explore the more splintered dimensions of the Münich based brothers’ work, familiar to whoever follows the releases on their own Ilian Tape label.

*Hot on the heels of DJ Deep's inaugural Kern mix for Tresor comes 'Kern Vol.2', selected and mixed by Gigolos boss DJ Hell. Hell has a track record of releasing benchmark mixes, most notably the wildly eclectic mix for Belgian club FUSE in 2000, and 1995's 'X-Mix 5: Wildstyle', whose concept he feels is 'not far away from Kern Vol.2'. *For 'Kern Vol.2', the Munich / Berlin machine dug deep into his vast collection to unite early House and Techno with the new wave. To start the process, he searched in the most obvious place: his basement. *The second 12" - The Rarities - is a precious collection of forgotten early '90s grooves. On the A-side, none other than Mr. Daniel Bell contributes to this special Kern Vol.2 with a track that has never seen the light of day since its year of production, 1992 - the "Chicago Style" version of his legendary 'Blip' title. A collector's piece.
*The B-side starts with NYC '90s ?xtures Lenny Dee and Ralphie Dee's (aka Major Problems) Overdose, a 1990 relentless number originally released on Nu Groove. Back to '92 with Sub-Culture's 'Dreams' released on Hayden Brown's own imprint Strobe. All mixes on the original and rare 12" are simply excellent, and DJ Hell chooses here the forgotten Tribal Life Mix.

To start the process, he searched in the most obvious place: his basement. "I was ?nding records I didn't know that I still owned," he explains, adding that there are "so many stories behind each track. It's not just the music - after 20 years there are so many memories that come back". *The ?rst 12" - The Exclusives - comes packed with previously unreleased tracks, specially crafted for Kern Vol.2 and carefully selected and re-edited by DJ Hell. *Argentinean producer extraordinaire Jonas Kopp offers his own interpretation of the Hell sounds with 'X', an incendiary and wreckless number of instant gritty appeal. On the ?ip, two reworks operated by Hell specially for the occasion. The infamous Flashback '86 by Capracara receives a raw treatment, for full dance?oor effect. The 1993 classic by Halogen (aka Zach Roberts), Bliss gets extended and reconstructed with complete new drums. *Hell feels that 'Kern Vol.2' is a product of crate digging and vinyl culture, but rather than keeping it to himself, he wants to share it with as many people as possible: "This music is very powerful & timeless and had a huge in?uence on me. I have been Djing since the late 1970s and playing house since 1985 - this is my life." *As autobiographies go, 'Kern Vol.2' makes for a compelling opening chapter. *TRACKLISTING: A. Jonas Kopp - X B1. Capracara - Flashback '86 (DJ Hell's Kern Rework) B2. Halogen - Bliss (DJ Hell's Kern Rework)

After more than two decades of behind the scenes collaboration Juan Atkins & Moritz von Oswald present Borderland - their debut collaborative album to be released this summer on Tresor Records. The album - made up of 8 sequences, which seamlessly blend the styles of both masters - was recorded at the beginning of 2013 over various studio sessions in Berlin and will be released as a series of three 12"s and a CD album. *Limited to 500 units, pressed on heavy vinyl and packed in hefty sleeves, Electric Garden is the main recurring theme in Borderland, developed on this first EP in two different mixes. *While the “Original Mix” was produced during the first studio session conducted for this new collaboration, the “Deep Jazz In The Garden Mix” also features the performance of German trumpet player Sebastian Studnitzky. *Together with a live show being debuted in May at MUTEK festival - the record gives common voice to two independent yet mutually supporting musical journeys, achieving a singular expression of club-orientated electronic music and the freedom of organic musical experimentation.
