Tresor

Tresor is a Berlin-based techno label that was founded in July 1991 by Dimitri Hegemann. The label takes its name from the techno club that was established in an underground vault after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Tresor was formerly a division of another label, and it has undergone changes to its label code over the years.

From 1991 to 2002, Tresor had the label code LC 7572 / LC 07572. Afterward, from 2002 onwards, the label's code changed to LC 3702 / LC 03702.

Tresor has played a significant role in shaping the techno music scene with its authoritative presence and influential releases. With its roots deeply embedded in Berlin's rich musical history, Tresor continues to be at the forefront of electronic music innovation and remains a respected force within the industry.

As the z-axis of our planet tilts away, and a gulf of dusty earth, air and searing fire is revealed before us, Minimal Violence holds an unflinching stare, unveiling upon us Phase Three in an act of pure psychic release. Consecutive of the destruction of Phase One and the restructuring of Phase Two it only seems appropriate that the third phase of the series finds the project reaching a state of transcendence and transition as it also aligns with the shift from a duo to the solo venture of Ash Luk following the departure of co-founder Lida P. 

This third EP of the Destroy Reality Trust series launches straight into the 145 bpm stomper Flatline. It is a track founded by a family spirit, with lyrics co-written with Luk’s mother and their stepfather Mad Johnny on vocals and guitar. It draws a hoarse chant of passion, ".. nothing matters .. I still love you .. resuscitation .. resurrection .." in answer to arching melodic euphoria. Cold (sex) follows down a scorched earth driveway into distorted whistles, detuned melodies and some of the best sequencer abuse out there. We Suffocate on the Violence of Light reveals perhaps the finest expedition so far in Minimal Violence’s particular vein of acid-singed euphoric trance. Its synths smeared and merged unholy, where the drums meddle with the tensions between drum and bass and nail to the ground four to the floor rhythm. Focus On That Form pummels hard within a deep noise volley, scratching hard to rid its environments of any longer lasting lustre.

As ever, the transformative sound of Minimal Violence emerges deep from fire. Denying any uncertain embers an escape route, Luk casts anew from a seemingly unending source of unique energy.
