Gregor Tresher's classic 'A Thousand Nights' incl. Dufire remix.

We are beyond excited to release new remixes of an absolute classic tune by none other than Aural Float, the legendary collaboration between Pascal FEOS, Gabriel Le Mar and Alex Azary. Originally released on their debut album „Introspectives“ on the mighty Elektrolux records back in 1995, „South Of The Clouds Pt.2“ quickly became the standout track of the longplayer and an absoute fan favorite as it encapsuled the very essence of the no nonsense hypnotic sound of Frankfurt at the time. On the A-Side, label head honcho Gregor Tresher presents an epic 11-minute journey that pays homage to the timeless original while updating it for the modern day dancefloor. Through layers and layers of subtle percussion lines, Gregor´s remix builds up over time, with bold breakdowns that gives the distinctive melody line time to breathe, only to eventually culminate in bringing the massive beat back to take things to the next sonic level. On the flip, our good friends Extrawelt deliver another outstanding production once again, that has their signature sound written all over it. The boys respectfully incorporate the original melody line, while perfecting their remix by adding their unmistakeable trademark sound and sophisticated beat structures. Aural Float, we salute you and are forever grateful for this seminal piece of music, that easily stood the test of time and will continue to do so for generations to come.

Every now and then, there are tracks that stand the test of time. Tracks that are more than just another DJ-tool. Tracks to remember. When „Fom Within“ was released 13 years ago. the track found its way into almost every DJ-Case that summer, and to this day, people playit out at special moments. When Gregor Tresher started to mix Celeda´s „Music Is the Answer“ Acapella over it, inofficial remixes popped up everywhere. We decided to actually never release that version, as we believe some things should be in the DJ´s hands, as there´s nothing quite magic as if a DJ-Mix creates something new. We are happy to give to you an official repress of one of the strongest tracks from our label´s history. Play it out and let it work it´s magic.

We take immense pride in upholding the integrity of our label's name, and we're excited to announce a remix
by Gregor Tresher for Mike Skinners legendary "The Streets”, which does just that. Gregor's admiration for
The Streets' seminal 2002 album, "Original Pirate Material,” has fuelled his unwavering support for Mike
Skinner's extraordinary musical journey.
Last year, when The Streets’ poignant EP "Brexit at Tiffany's" made its debut, Gregor crafted a remix of one
of its tracks for his DJ sets. This rework quickly became a closely-guarded secret weapon, setting dance
floors ablaze wherever he played it. The idea of reaching out to The Streets arose, driven by curiosity about
Mike's reaction to the remix. To our delight, not only did he appreciate it, but he also granted us permission
to officially release it on the label.
So without delay, we are delighted to unveil Gregor Tresher's monumental reimagining of The Streets' "3
Minutes To Midnight." This once anonymous gem has now emerged from the shadows, and we are
absolutely thrilled to bring it to your eager ears.

Our good friend Frederik Laaser aka The Reason Y is back on Break New Soil with a mighty new EP, aptly named to describe the incredible title track: Unparalleled! It has has been a mainstay in Gregor's sets and continues to amaze dancers and Technoheads alike: A tailor-made production for DJs that enjoy no-nonsense dancefloor weapons! On remix duties we present a man that doesn't really need an introduction: UK Techno guru Alan Fitzpatrick revamped the original track and delivered a huge remix, guaranteed to set the big festival floors on fire this summer! With the two additional tracks „Matricity“ and „Seven Lakes“, Frederik shows his versatility as a producer and rounds off the EP in style. You don't want to miss this one!

If you look at the artist line up of our new release, a press info is actually pretty obsolete, but I thought I´d write a few words anyway. Oniris from the south of France is really on the rise with his latest music on Laurents Cod3QR and upcoming music on Bedrock or Systematic and when I got in touch with him to talk about releasing on Break New Soil.

We welcome back our good friend Karotte with his first release on Break New Soil in over a decade! „xtc“ is pure Karotte dancefloor fire - weird, powerful and beautiful! On remix duties, we are psyched to have our good friend Jeroen Verhej aka Secret Cinema, who really needs no introduction to techno heads around the planet, and he delivered exactly what we've been hoping for: A relentless big-room Techno rework - boom! The second original track by Karotte is called „Drive“, and it's on the deeper side of things, yet not less intriguing at all. Welcome back home, Peter!

Gregor Tresher unveils first album in eight years, ‘False Gods’, plus new collaboration with Laurent Garnier on [pias] Électronique. Featuring solo works alongside further collaborations with Sven Väth, Josh Wink, Anja Schneider and more, the expansive body of work exemplifies Tresher’s wide-reaching sound palette, with the sixteen-track LP set for release on 29th November 2024.

Frankfurt native and internationally renowned DJ/producer Gregor Tresher will release his highly anticipated new sixteen-track artist album ‘False Gods’ on 29th November via [pias] Électronique, showcasing his diverse and encompassing sound to its fullest with his first LP project in eight years.

Widely regarded as a rare exception to electronic music’s trend-driven landscape, Tresher’s evolution from his early days in his hometown of Frankfurt in the 90s to his standing today, having remixed and worked with modern greats in Depeche Mode, Moby or Extrawelt to name just a few, has brought with it a series of critically acclaimed albums - both under his real name and via his Sniper Mode alias. Adding to those here with one of his most extensive projects to date, the German favourite reveals his latest long-player and serves up an introspective journey into the mind of one of modern electronic music’s most exciting minds... featuring a few friends along the way. At 14, Tresher had his first proper ecstatic club experience and danced until dawn at Frankfurt’s legendary Omen. He’s never looked back.

“That night was the initial reason I chose this profession. When I play a show today, I can only hope that there might be this one kid in the room that maybe gets a similar feeling of enlightenment.” That feeling. Call it magic or transcendence or getting the spirit. The pursuit of that elusive, indescribable quality drives Gregor Tresher to this day. And it reverberates throughout ‘False Gods’.

Though all but one of these tracks were written during a burst of creativity in 2023 and 2024, in a sense, Tresher has been making this record his whole life. Fellow travellers from his decades on the techno scene – including Sven Väth, Laurent Garnier, and Josh Wink – helped to craft the lyrics, melodies, rhythms, and grooves. The album’s title winks at the adulation showered on superstar DJs while also harking back to one of his earliest memories of music listening to Depeche Mode’s ‘Blasphemous Rumours’.

“This album grew very naturally,” says Tresher about his first studio full-length in eight years. But working closely with other artists didn’t. “I always thought I was bad at collaborating because I had this arrogant state of mind: ‘If I do a track all on my own, it will sound exactly the way I want. I'm not gonna like it as much if I have to compromise by working with somebody else.’”

That attitude changed when Sven Väth - a champion of Tresher’s music since the early days – tapped him to produce his 2022 album Catharsis. “When I‘d produced music for other people before, they often didn't have a clear idea of what they wanted, and I had to drag it out of them or substitute what I thought made sense. That process wasn't very rewarding. Sven knew exactly what he wanted, and that was quite a revelation.” Working together on Catharsis fed directly into the creative energy of ‘False Gods’. “With this record, I embraced the idea of collaboration, and it was a whole new and very rewarding situation for me.”

Born from the push-and-pull between creative souls, unrelenting synergy propels False Gods through a spectrum of textures and moods. Punctuated by skeletal snares and sub-atomic rumble, ‘False Gods’ summons the ghosts of synthpop past without spiralling into nostalgia. The jubilant ‘Ursa Minor,’ a collaboration with longtime friend and creative foil Petar Dundov, dances in the sweet spot between house and techno, the ballrooms of New York and the suburbs of Detroit. “I want to go home”, repeats Anja Schneider on ‘Homesick,’ echoing the sentiments of every DJ who has ever felt cast adrift in neverending nightlife.

An ever-changing, kaleidoscopic trip through soundscapes and a vivid excursion among inspirations and influences from his accomplished career, ‘False Gods’ delivers not only a second full circle moment for Tresher but also showcases his innate musical talent in abundance—an album to get lost in over and over again while discovering subtle nuances and elements that appear and disappear among listens.

The cover art has been created by internationally renowned visual artist Tobias Rehberger, adding his very own touch by playing with the initial letters of each word of the titles to create a unique visual layer to an album already bursting with individual creative energy.

Record is really close to NM.
