remixes from danvers, etherwood and lavan. as bottom end provider for cinematic orchestra and paper tiger, hunrosa (aka sam vicary) already has something of a pedigree for a man of such tender years. his music glides effortlessly between bonobo at his most sonorous, jon hopkins at his most ethereal and flying lotus at his most freaky. currently based in manchester, his music captures the wild organic senses of his cornish childhood, anchoring it with a darker 2am undercurrent.

meda fury welcomes tom wrankmore aka eliphino to the imprint for a stunning ep of thunderous breaks, 303’s and serious sub-bass pressure. hailing originally from the leeds, but with wider travels to settle down in both london and berlin, wrankmore’s music embraces hip-hop, rave, and uk garage. he now serves up a pungent confection pitched between the hessle audio crew, joy o and demdike stare’s most recent efforts. having released heaters for brownswood and hoya hoya over the years, eliphino now debuts as part of the meda fury family with the realistic sex ep. wrankmore has been locked away in his studio for the last 1.5 years, abstaining from gigging and releasing records to knuckle down and produce, emerging with a new darker edge and a much more hardcore sound. tom explains: “the theme of the ep is trusting your intuition in an information flooded world. i’ve collaborated with visual artists tom pounder & jon harris who have created two videos for the release, one for disc rhythm and one for realistic sex.- meda fury boss nick williams, “tom s new music epitomises to me what modern club tracks should sound like - wild, energetic, deadly. he’s discovered his own dark new world of sound fusing breakbeat, acid, speed garage and even industrial stylings”

when tresor founder dimitri hegemann stumbled into a former bank vault in east berlin on march 13th 1991, he had little idea that the space he had unlocked would fast become one of berlin s most influential and enduring techno clubs. “we didn’t know what would happen 10 months later,” he says. “we signed a lease for a year. which eventually got renewed for another three months, and another three months…”
as tresor celebrates its 25th anniversary with this work of artists from the us, germany, china, france, austria, italy and the uk, it is worth dwelling on how the cultural conditions that birthed detroit techno – economic neglect and broken industry – were mirrored by the disused bunkers and impromptu parties of post-unification east berlin, where techno found new, vigorous expression.
the triple vinyl release includes a download code.
