Tresor

Surgeon is an English electronic musician and DJ. With a career spanning over two decades, Surgeon has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the techno genre. Known for his unique blend of dark, atmospheric sounds and pounding beats, Surgeon's music has captivated audiences around the world.

Married to [a3405581], Surgeon's passion for music began at a young age. He started experimenting with synthesizers and drum machines in his bedroom, eventually honing his skills and developing his own distinct sound. His innovative approach to production and mixing has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

As a DJ, Surgeon is renowned for his dynamic sets that seamlessly blend genres and push boundaries. Whether performing at underground clubs or major festivals, he never fails to deliver an electrifying experience that leaves crowds wanting more.

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.

First techno Surgeon album in five years. Crash Recoil originates from Surgeon's recent live sets, where he experimented with constraints in performing and embracing the twists, turns and paradoxes that arrive from this. Each fresh iteration on consistent MIDI sequences and hardware reconfigured tracks into different constellations, creating an inspiring vortex of unpredicted events where ideas could flourish. This new approach allowed him to capture the spontaneous energy of his live shows in a way he had never done before. "This is not a live album, since it has not been recorded in one go during a live performance. In the same way that bands tour songs before going into the studio to record an album, I was able to explore these songs and hone their effectiveness during my live performances before creating a studio version."

The result is eight tracks that emphasize a new techno sound for Surgeon, drawing in references from across the musical spectrum. "I can hear Coil, King Tubby, Detroit Techno and The Cure all wrapped up with 30 years of DJing," Surgeon says of the album. Melancholic hum-like ambiences smudge around unadorned, near-droning basslines, crunching rhythm and percolating arpeggiations. The tracks carry unique and potent locomotion, with a low-slung grind through toughened terrains, breathing with a free spirit, untethered by a studio-based perspective. We hear manifestations of the same raw material across the album, like a textural motif, carving new variants and creating a cohesive work full of recollection.
