Tresor Berlin
This is the Official YouTube channel of Tresor Records.
Tresor Records was founded in 1991, the same year a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music.
The label pushed deeper connections beyond Germany, emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kickstart dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians.
This story is one of friendship, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit and Birmingham, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles.

Excerpt from Talk on techno and art: Robert Hood, Arthur Jafa and DeForrest Brown Jr. at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago: https://youtu.be/FlxakRTbxkg
Robert Hood, Tresor artist and founding member of Detroit’s Underground Resistance (UR) who created the commissioned soundtrack for artist Arthur Jafa’s APEX (2013), joins Jafa in conversation. They discuss the social, aesthetic, and technological relationships between techno and what Jafa refers to as a desire to create “a cinema capable of matching the power, beauty, and alienation of Black music.” The conversation is moderated by DeForrest Brown Jr., musician, representative of the campaign to Make Techno Black Again, and author of Assembling a Black Counter Culture (Primary Information, 2022), a comprehensive history of techno through a Black theoretical framework.

Ben Sims b2b Surgeon at Globus, Berlin on 10th May, 2025.

"Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you." (Surgeon)
