Re: RE: (313) new bits / Tresor
I lve the Osborne remixes! It's hard for me to pick a fave though - I'm playing the Matthew Dear one the most at the moment. (You can get the TNT mix for free mp3 download from www.ghostly.com along with a whole heap of other goodies). I'm also enjoying: Minority EP on Tunnel 7 M.I.A. feat. Tek Bros - 'All I need' on L-3000 (a great track to mix after the Carl Craig rmx of 'Tides', BTW) Narcotic Syntax release on Perlon Also I was surfing Juno yesterday and found a track by Zap Mama called 'Bandy Bandy' which has a couple of Carl Craig remixes on it - C2 has now turned his attention toward contemporary dancehall it seems. I like it. Well, I like the crappy sample of it at least! [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/06/2004 5:03:09 am I was at Tresor for the first time back in Feb, and it also took us an hour or two to figure out there were more rooms. The basement is *insane*, has to be one of the most intense techno-related experiences anywhere. Sounds like I need to go back and do a bit more exploring; I must have missed the Globus room completely... The other great thing about Tresor is the cost. 10 Euros for Blake Baxter, Pacou, and a host of others I can't recall at the moment -- plus cheap beer. Did you stay at The Circus Hostel? that place is amazing... - jobot - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, June 9, 2004 7:56 am Subject: RE: (313) new bits / Tresor I have to say Alex this was my best gig ever becuase it was an ultimatedream come true and I loved the feel of the dark vault and its sweaty walls, its such a contrast to upstairs and if Tresor ever goes it will be a tragedy thats for sure. I'll bet Ian! yeah, that's some dark ass action they got going on down there. It's like some sort of torture vault or something. I have to say I liked upstairs though as well. Infact, I was in the pub last night and all my mates were pretty surprised that I thought it was so good... maybe it was because I was away and it all seemed different. I dunno, by the time I'd got to Tresor I'd been on a 24 hour non stop drinking bender. So my opinions are probs skewed. anyway I wrote a massive long post, I put a bit about tresor in so I cp'd so you can see my opinions on it. 5am came and the club shut. The rest of our boys had headed to bed, but I wasn't really up for going home, so Mike and I thought we'd head over to Tresor to see if it was still open. Arrived there 5.30 ish, walked in and it was JUMPING!! Pretty gob-smacked really, wasn't expecting much at all, but it was hot. Grabbed some beers, found ourselves a little corner and spent an hour or so dancing away, watching the ladies go by. So, we were in this room on the ground floor, and thought this was it - I was surprisedthat the music wasn't really banging, I heard Metro Area 5 again in here, some other stuff that I'm guessing was sort of Kompakt style things and some kinda modern poppy italo electronic stuff which I didn't have a clue what it was. The dj couldn't really beat match that well, but was workinghis records and pretty much had the crowd eating out of his hand. Everybody was going pretty wild... It took at least an hour for us to realise that there was infact more rooms to it! The Globus room is quite thin, but very long with bars at bothends, the dj box in the middle, raised up. High ceilings didn't really affect the sound at all and there was all the usual kinda 'club' decorations in there... At one end of the room was a little door leading to a tiny back room that was also a bar. There was a great dj on in here, again playing a bit of everything, and a garden out back which I sat in for a while and listened to the chit the guy was playing. Nice selections. You had to go through this room to get to the famous Tresor vault. Down the stairs, past the merchandise stall and past another bar, there were some metal gates leading to the vault Flippin 'eck! It was madness! Just a dark dark room (I couldnt see my hand infront of my face), a strobe, a low ceiling and it was packed with loads of mad german techno heads getting lost in the heavy heavy 'main room at Lost' kinda vibe. We spent a while down here. It was heavy s**t. Dark dark music, drum loops all the way, no melody, just driving hard music. I guess it could have been alot harder - UK heads, a Bicknell set in the main room at Lost was exactly what it was like They were using Ableton Live too when I popped over to have a look. I couldn't tell before I looked thoughwhich I guess was a good thing. so, anyway, we left tresor about 9.30 am and wondered the streets of Berlin, gazing at all the cool buildings in the basking sunshine. No map, didn't know where we were going but somehow ended up back on the street to out hostel. Stopped at the Petrol Station to find it sold
