Tresor Club - Then and Now
Back in 1991, post- Wall Berlin used to be a no mans land, which still needed to recover from the aftermaths of the fall of the wall. Nevertheless, the subcultural scene slowly began to flourish and here, the foundation for one of the most influential techno clubs worldwide was set: Tresor. The club first opened its doors to the public in March 1991, back then at Leipziger Strasse 126a in the vault of an old department store. Tresor’s rough, dark atmosphere paired with the yet different, forceful and ecstatic sounds and underlined by minimal light effects, gave the whole of Berlin a new direction. Berlin Techno was born, in the cradle of Tresor and the party hungry youth found a place where the unification of the formerly divided Germany could be celebrated to a full extent. Inspiration music-wise came from Detroit DJs like Jeff Mills, Mike Banks and Robert Hood (Underground Resistance) or Juan Atkins and Blake Baxter, just to name a few.
