Beschreibung
Given the power vacuum that existed in Berlin in the early nineties, a sense of anarchy prevailed, and this provided a fertile breeding ground for all manner of creative people and projects. New and existing music scenes grew quickly, producing some weird and wonderful blossoms along the way. Venues didn’t have a closing time. Parties went on all night long. Nightlife existed as a parallel world. The artists from Detroit, a city just as broken as ours, brought over a new kind of music. Tracks with no lyrics; the bpm count marked on the record like a certification. After the miracle of German reunification, everyone dreamed of making the impossible possible. Meanwhile, the Detroit artists and the new musical genre they had created were taking the first steps on a path to unimagined success. (Regina Baer)
Tresor: True Stories is the first printed excavation of Tresor’s legendary history. Digging deeply into its rich archives, the venerable institution has unearthed countless treasures from its over three-decade old history. Over 400 never before seen photographs, flyers, faxes and other artefacts illustrate a story that intersects with the most important social and musical trend in the modern history of Berlin. The story is told with the voices of those that were there - over 40 protagonists like Dimitri Hegemann, Paul Hockenos and Regina Baer, share their first-hand reminiscences of the ‘big bang’ that launched techno into the world. Through the story of Tresor, the book charts the heady days of 80s West Berlin through to the explosion of new energy that midwifed in the new social reality of reunified Germany. This is a unique and essential printed monument to the institution that changed electronic music forever, and the city that allowed it to exist.
