Mike Huckaby takes you on a journey of skilful sound programming using the granddaddy of all modern synths – the Waldorf Wave. From the early sound of Larry Heard, to the classic sound of minimal Techno, experience an EP that combines the sound of both styles. Recording the Wave is a privileged experience that only a few producers in the world have ever had, and now this experience is being shared with you. Once again the president of S Y N T H breaks all the rules

B1 Basement Trax 05:36
B2 The Upstairs Lounge 06:01
Release Info:
Following the club and label’s 20th anniversary back in 2011, Tresor memorialised its two decades of existence with an exclusive
mix from one of its esteemed Detroit connections, Mike Huckaby. On that mix, Mike Huckaby included an exclusive production of
his, the first one to be released on Tresor Records.
Today, Tresor is proud to announce the repress of the ‘The Tresor Track’ on wax, making up for a massive A-side cut at 45 RPM.
This title is on its way to stand along with the label’s most important classics, a genuine anthem for the Berlin techno institute.
On the flip, Mike Huckaby goes for a stroll through the Tresor building, heading downstairs, exploring the room’s darker and more
twisted corners with ‘Basement Trax’, going back towards ‘The Upstairs Lounge’ and surprising his audience with some original
rhythmic patterns. The Tresor EP is a statement, a seal manifesting for a fruitful and long-lasting collaboration between Mike
Huckaby and Tresor.
"I try to create a vibe, feeling or idea that could create a vicarious expression. Often, this is derived from many of my personal
clubbing experiences. I have a permanent snapshot in my mind from the vibe I remember at the Music Institute in Detroit, or the
Shelter in NYC. So I vibe o of that quite often. In terms of house, it's usually based around strong chord progressions, and very
colorful and expressive sounds. For techno, it can be a mixture of both, or purely abrasive and dance floor driven.
Music is reciprocal. I have coined or phrased a term called "the reciprocal relationship" in music. The reciprocal relationship in
music demonstrates that tones excite chords, and chords excite tones. Here's an example to further elaborate on that: A chord
can invoke a specific feeling within the listener. But the strength or degree in which a feeling is invoked within the listener has a
lot to do with the notes or chord progression that is played upon a specific tone or patch.” Mike Huckaby, 2010.
In loving memory of one of the greatest. More

Mike Huckaby returns after what seems a dog's age to serve up this great new EP on Harmonie Park. "Disco Time" is a classic track from the early days of the label, given a fresh airing here, with a rich bassline combining with melodic chords and a great vocal "Cmon y'all, let's go down to the disco" looped throughout this late night gem. New cut "Radiance" opens side 2, a sultry deep house track with some techy clicks and swirling melodic synths working the background, while a lazy yet bumping bassline and crisp beats work the floor. Last up is another Harmonie classic, "Luv Time" the most upbeat of the 3 cuts here, with shuffling beats, pumping bassline, a great vocal stab, and stabbing synths all teaming up for more late night greatness.
