'Other Dimensions Lp', Terrence Dixon's latest work and the new adventure in 30D's ExoPlanets sublabel, comes for the very first time released in full length format, split in two sides, showing Terrence's two faces. As everyone knows, words can not describe the music of this Detroit visionary, but we'll try. Futuristic, avant-garde-esque, mesmerizing, trippy and minimalistic / reduced techno funk as expected in A side, but highly emotional and evocative, as only he can do. On the flip side, Terrence redefines and takes to another level the concept of dark, experimental, abstract, atmospheric, alienated and dystopian music, a true musical trip (perhaps a nightmare???) to dive into. An extremely personal and intimate album.

Seven years after the classic ‘Theater of a Confused Mind’ (as Population One), Detroit techno phenomenon Terrence Dixon is back on Rush Hour with a new album, this time under his own name.
It would be a massive understatement to say we’re proud of this one. After all our whole operation was named after one of Dixon’s early tracks (‘Rush Hour’ originally appeared on a double EP called ‘Hippnotic Culture’ on fellow Detroit legend Claude Young’s Utensil Records in 1995) and ‘Reporting from Detroit’ again finds the maestro in outstanding form.
‘Reporting from Detroit’ is another prime example of the distinctly unique sound language Dixon has developed over the last three decades - defiant, forward-thinking afrofuturist techno that could only have been made in the Motor City.
But this is not just mere Detroit techno - it’s a sound language that’s unique to Dixon. An instantly recognizable high-octane sonic language fueled by frantic funk that’s constantly pushing the boundaries of machine music without ever losing the connection to the magic of the Detroit streets at night.

Tresor Records proudly announces From The Far Future Pt. 3, a new album from Terrence Dixon.
Continuing the story of his previous two iterations on this title, spanning 3 vinyl discs, it is a serene undertaking of unrivalled Motor City rhythms and sound. It finds the Detroit producer oscillating, from excursions in paradises of synth pointillism to husky storytelling and Dixon's peculiar beat work.
A master in letting shapes find their form, Dixon allows the listener to wallow in recurring scenes. Lost Communication Procedure, Found In Space and Remarkable Wanderer etch a sound world of choral vibrations and cinematic dirge. Where gaseous clouds scrape the natural sonic pastures of such environments, the hypnotized listener staggers a drunken step, moving sideways by 0 or 1 or -1 into new scenes. Not least an expert in industrial abstraction, a human silhouette permeates Dixon's sound. His ethereal storytelling portrays the heart-rending romance of Unconditional Love and unearths in I'm Away In Detroit monologuing moodscapes recalling our GPS voice assistants.
Out of Darkness initial recalls Kraftwerk's Geiger counter, as from pure signal data and feedback spells an unceasing locomotive wormhole. Hazy, dense grooves drive across bleak city scenes in We Can Rebuild Him, into the raw vibe of Framework and the rude stabs of Spectrum of Light. The varying presence of Dixon's work is one of his textural signatures, at arm's length, brushing right within, and far out. The bumping mood of Earth Station is one such moment, close enough to isolate the diving bass somewhere within, simultaneously from afar it becomes positively gravitational.
The first two records of the series are rightfully considered among the finest embodiments of contemporary minimalism, symbolic documents of afro-futurism. This new work revives the classic series, continuing the relationship between Tresor and the undisputed master of Detroit techno into the present day.

Re:Vision series restarts with Steve Poindexter’s timeless classic “Computer Madness”. We are very honored and excited to be able to re-release this beast of a track! It’s hard to imagine that this was really created over 2 decades ago. So the task at hand was to find the right contemporaries to revise this masterpiece, we didn’t have to look far to find the man for the job: Function is an old friend here at THEMA, and things got even better when he brought in Jerome Sydenham to co-produce the second treatment. It’s thus with great pride we announce our Re:Vision of Computer Madness, featuring two resolutely modern reinterpretations of Poindexter’s classic. The original by Poindexter dates all the way from 1989 and is a brief, headlong rush into drum machine-fueled raw acid and has long been a staple of the genre for many as well as the first release on the seminal Musique Records. We wanted to start off with a stomper, so for the whole A side, we have Function with occasional co-conspirator Sydenham with an unstoppable driving interpretation that straightens the busy drums of the original into a pounding techno pulse and takes repeated, changing portions of the original acid line as its central riff. Much of the action here occurs in the dirty, growling bass the pair add to the lower register; this is peak time damage for the most unrelenting floors. On the flip side we start off with Function’s deep, dubbed out reinterpretation, but it soon strides forward into the style of psychedelic but jacking techno familiar from his recent, more extroverted output. Even at almost double the length of the original, there’s still a palpable aura of reverence to the way he approaches the track; it should come as no surprise that he ranks it highly in his favorites list. Then of course we finish off with Poindexter’s original 1989 version, with all its original bang and glory. Still sounds fresh and as inspiring as it did the first time we heard this way back when...Functioning as a reunion for friends as well as a re-evaluation of past and present achievements, Re:Vision looks back to the rich past while still moving unstoppably into the future. Look out for the next 2 releases in the Re:Vision series that’s following up next! It’s been awhile since we at THEMA visited our Re:Vision series, where we pay homage to those that have influenced us and bring historical accomplishments into contemporary focus. It started with DJ Slip’s classic “Available Light” (THEMA017) featuring two incredibly well sought after remixes of the celebrated original by Franco Cinelli and Mikael Stavöstrand. Now revisiting the series with renewed dedication, we’ve carefully selected three classic underground tracks that reverberate in past and present for re-evaluation by a cadre of contemporary techno’s finest talent.

*Twelve years ago Tresor Records released Terrence Dixon's debut album 'From The Far Future' - a personal homage to the art and ancestry of techno, culminating in a discursive and dream-like course through the genre's many tomes, complete with subtle nods to key protagonists such as Kraftwerk, Derrick May and Juan Atkins. A luminescent and ethereal catalogue of tracks awash with shimmery synths and taught rhythmical programming - that still holds true today, 'From The Far Future' made for a stunning first full length that cemented Dixon's already proven credentials from his Population One work and Utensil Records foundations. *After a string of stylistically rich releases - including another album, 'Train Of Thought', this time for Cologne-based label Yore Records - the Detroit native returns to Tresor Records with 'From The Far Future Pt.2' - an ambitious, scopey and deeply personal sequel." 'From The Far Future' was special in many ways. It's over 12 years later and seems like yesterday to me, it really does," says Dixon. " 'From The Far Future Pt.2' is my real life drama playing out before your ears, it has everything on this album that has something to do with where I live. I wanted to make this album as huge as it could be. This is a statement album. A variety of tracks from a minimal point of view." *Taking the form of a fourteen-track CD and double vinyl LP, with just three overlaying tracks - the bubbly "Fountain of Life", uplifting "Horizon" and stung out "The Study", as well as two different versions on the atmospheric builder "Dark City of Hope" - 'From The Far Future Pt.2' is a masterful and extensive techno album that alludes to - without relying on - Dixon's Detroit heritage and affinities. Tracks like the CD's three dystopic numbers: "Path to Mystery", "The Auto Factory" and "Lead by Example", for example, deploy recognisable tropes of techno past, spun into a unique and inherently modern Dixon vernacular.
*Elsewhere, warm syncopated house ("Self Centered"), wonky jazz ("The Switch"), grainy dub textures ("My Journey Here") and smoky ambience ("Vision Blurry") complete this rewardingly heterogeneous CD. Complementing the headiness of the CD, the eight-track vinyl version of 'From The Far Future Pt.2' has been curated squarely with the dance floor in mind, allowing Dixon's shrewd beat-smithery to come to the fore. *From the tough and punchy rhythms of "Light of Day" and "Band Together" to the discordant canters of jangly anthem "Sleight of Mind" and dubby "11th Floor", there's something here for any fan of freewheeling and well-versed techno.

Deep, moody, yet powerful techno from the Reclusive Perfectionist. Myles come up with two deeper, slower, moodier minimalistic tracks, venturing in more house territory: “Red Eye to Bogota” and “When I Meet God”. Both tracks go over 10 minutes during which Myles slowly tweaks the rhythmic elements, basslines and chords for your aural pleasure. Myles also delivers a more stripped-down uptempo techno track that we love him for, “TransMilenio”: its full on repetitive bassline should for sure inflict some dancefloor damage.

“For our second release, I am very glad to welcome on board Myk Derill! Myk comes from Berlin, Germany. He already has several releases under his belt.
He creates a very dark techno, without any concessions, influenced by the current sounds of the techno underground I love. Myk Derill is a dj/ producer from Berlin , already well immersed in the german techno scene. As a big techno activist, he is the label owner of Glare records and regularly plays in several clubs and parties in Berlin. From the beginning , Myk Derill has developed a passion for the Detroit techno sound, particularly for the dub style of this sound. His inspiring influences are Mike Dehnert, Jeff Mills or even Ben klock. He started mixing in 1995 and nine years later began production. In 2006, he released his first EP "Meileinweit" on 2 sides records, which was a real success. Since then, he has worked with national and international artists as a remixer and producer and has also released many EP’s on several labels.”

Knotweed Records is a new label launched out of Chamonix, France, by Belgian DJ and producer Philippe Petit. Philippe Petit has been around the dance music scene for a good 20 years. When he was not playing in his thrash metal bands, he was going out but did not like the music he was hearing. That is when he started DJing. Very eclectic in the beginning, he quickly veered towards funk, hip hop and acid jazz in the early nineties, playing for Guru, Ronnie Jordan, Galliano, the Goats, Palm Skin Productions etc. In 1995, he moved to London. Having to stop his sweaty metal activities, he needed to find another way to release all his extra energy, this time on his own. That is the reason why slowly but surely he started to incorporate more and more techno into his DJ sets. By 1997, it was only techno that was coming out of his needles. Having no time to start producing tracks, he focused mainly on playing gigs across London, as well as the one-off gigs in Belgium, France, Italy and Spain, mixing deep house and techno, always with a funk twist. By 2000, he was sharing his time between Chamonix and London, where he became a regular at Cantina Club and at Soulfood. Two years ago he moved permanently to Chamonix where he now spends 100% of his time focusing on making music. After one year of trial, he comes with this first release. As Philippe is composing music mainly when the weather grounds him at home, the dark atmosphere of the steep-sided mountain environment can be felt in all tracks of this release. The sound is techno at its best, Detroit influenced, hypnotic, dubby, but always with a funk element incorporated in the tracks. The key here is energy and groove
