The connections between Detroit and Fritz Lang's industrial dystopia are obvious, and Jeff Mills does a perfect job of scoring his alternate soundtrack for the film. Foreboding, arpeggiated ambient classics like 'Blue Print' alternate with some of Mills' finest techno moments, such as 'Robot Replica'. Brilliant album.

Almost 13 years after its original release, Surgeon's 'Basictonalvocabulary' holds up to the heaviest techno tracks ever made. Layering advanced, heavily repeated rhythms, Surgeon's second artist album is club music full of depth and complexity that can be counted as some of the best in the genre.

X-102 was a landmark album in 1992 recorded by UR's Banks/Mills/Hood line-up. Ice-cold, conceptual sc-fi techno that demonstrated the possibilities of techno far beyond the 12" format. In 2008 this deep-space monolith got remastered and recompiled with plenty of extra tracks. Monumental.

The first in Drexciya's Storm series and their second album for Tresor, 'Harnessed The Storm' marks the groups transition from analogue to digital production. 'Digital Tsunami', 'The Plankton Organization', and 'Lake Haze' stand out as bona-fide classics, but this is a perfect album throughout.

Drexciya's 7th and final Storm, 'The Cosmic Memoirs' is possibly the high point of James Stinson's much too brief exploration of digital sound generation. The tracks oscillate between harsh percussive noises and warm analogue harmonics in a way that set Stinson light years apart from his imitators. Sleeper classic.

1999's album 'Neptune's Lair' remains as one of the greatest works by the shadowy Detroit Electro group known as Drexciya. Exploring a wide range of their sound over 21 short transmissions, this, their first post-UR album, is an absolutely essential addition to the expansive Drexciya canon.

Another landmark release from the mighty Drexciya and part of their alleged seven storm series. In our humble opinion this is even among the best releases from that series and the finest techno and electro money can buy. Essential!

Pacou's programmatic album from 1998 was recently remastered and shines in all its analogue splendour. 13 tracks of dry and funky techno patterns, marking the transition between Pacou's earlier Hood/Mills-inspired work and the more fragile (dub)techno of his Cache label.

Strongly positioned as advanced, highly-technological music, as intensely detailed by Cristian Vogel himself in the 2007 press release for 'The Never Engine', his first album since 2003's 'Dungeon Master' surely delivers on these statements with its meticulous arrangements and advanced sound design.

Yet another classic album from Cristian Vogel which impressively showcases his diversity as a producer. 'Dungeon Master' combines Vogel's passion for experimental sound design with unique funk shuffles and hyperactive edits. A full one-hour live set comes included as a bonus.

Known for his grand stylistic shifts, Neil Landstrumm's 'She Took A Bullet For Me' combines instrumental hip-hop, trashy UK breakbeat, and straight up techno, bridging the gap between his work for Peacefrog and Planet Mu.

Digital release for Matthew Herbert's 'Mistakes' from 2000, released concurrently to his special Tresor mix CD celebrating the beauty of human error 'Let's All Make Mistakes'. Suitably gritty, a noisy 'demonic' version of the original opens, before an eccentric fuzzy housier version and the original to boot.

The 2001 DJ Rush remix might be a child of its time, but the original is a stone-cold acid house classic that has to be listened to again and again... and again. The bone-chilling anthem of 1988. 'Give It To Me' from the same year comes as a nice bonus.

Before 'Waveform Transmission Vol. 3', Jeff Mills' solo release catalogue consisted almost entirely of straight-forward punishing techno. This album, however, became his most accomplished work to date and signified a new, more diversified direction for Mills which he would continue follow into the next decade.

What can be said about this classic slice of Jeff Mills from 1992 other than the usual adjectives used to describe his music - raw, brutal, punishing, intense, relentless? All these and even greater superlatives apply to 'Waveform Transmissions Vol. 1', Jeff Mills' first and legendary solo album.

Exclusively available from zero", 'Rare + Remastered' is a definite highlight for Tresor fans: A collection of rare Pacou recordings taken from long deleted compilations and vinyls, all remastered to suit modern production standards. Essential material for all classic techno lovers.

Cristian Vogel's debut album from 1994 firmly established him as one of the hottest producers of the time. Pure bleepy machine funk across its eight tracks, paving the way for his subsequent success with Super Collider. Classic.

Second album for Cristian Vogel on Tresor with eight more tracks proving his dancefloor mastery. Quite typical for the time the tracks are paced around 140 - 150 bpm, combining contagious rhythms, funked-up, bleepy synths, and the most subtle of breakdowns.

This is one of the earlier get-togethers of Cristian Vogel and Jamie Lidell. Placing his hands on Vogel‘s '(Don't ) Take More', Lidell changed Vogel's more laid back vocal sample version into an unforgettable dancefloor smasher, somewhere between genius and madness. Still burning hot!

Tresor unearths a long lost classic Jeff Mills production. The original version appeared on The Wizard's first-ever album 'Waveform Transmission Vol. 1', but his 'Mills Mix' remix has remained one of Tresor's most infamous 'lost tracks' since 1993. Remastered by Moritz Von Oswald they are now waiting to being grabbed by you.

Hard hitting, classic material from Stewart Walker with his first EP for Tresor, which should mark a prosperous collaboration with more insane material to come. Adding some extra space between the kick and the hi-hat, these tracks aged very well and are still very playable. Recommended!

Four remixes for Cisco Ferreira's 2006 album - three of them (Adam Beyer, Hertz, Chris Liebing) hard techno, the fourth a classic, rare piece by Heinchich Müller in modern day Dopplereffekt style.
