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.- Softcover: 300g/m² raw card board, granular lamination, open spine binding- 352 pages: Neon CMYK print on Lessebo Smooth Natural 90g/m² and Galaxi ArtSamt 115g/m²- Dimensions: 21,8 x 30 x 2,2cm (1,4kg)
Leseprobe:
Tresor was never just another night club. Its roots reach back deep into West Berlin's subcultural niches and Tresor's emanations, like the eponymous label or the Berlin Atonal festival, extend into the present and beyond, critical reference points for electronic sound artists on every continent. Thirty years ago, the legendary venue threw open its doors, just off a Potsdamer Platz where broken slabs of Berlin Wall lay prostrate on the hardscrabble. It triggered a global music movement that will always be synonymous with the city of Berlin - the world capital of electronic music, then as now. (Paul Hockenos)
