Carhartt WIP x Tresor: A Techno Alliance

Carhartt WIP – whose music roots can be traced to Detroit, Michigan – joins forces with the Berlin-based club, record label and cultural institution Tresor, for a collaboration that celebrates the enduring spirit of two music metropolises. The collaboration cements a long-standing partnership, and culminates in a capsule collection, vinyl compilation, and series of events hosted in Detroit and Berlin. Both the capsule collection and vinyl compilation will be released on May 23. Titled 030313, the 12” vinyl compilation takes its name from the dialing codes of Berlin (030) and Detroit (313), while also echoing early 90s compilations such as Tresor II – A Techno Alliance. 030313 opens with “I.D.L.E”, a lost Model 500 track which merges cosmic melodies with a winding bassline. This is followed by Detroit duo Ectomorph’s “Searching (Live At Globus)”, and “Your Body”, an exclusive track by AMX (AKA The AM). On the compilation’s B-Side is DJ Stingray 313’s “Dynamic Instability”, which pulses with dark, furious funk and industrial jack. The energy stays high with JakoJako’s “Metal Goat”, while “Screamcore” by nascent producer Erik Jabari closes out the record. 313 To celebrate the collaboration, a free daytime event will take place on May 25 at Waajeed’s Underground Music Academy in Detroit, featuring a barbecue and trunk sale, as well as DJ sets from the likes of AMX b2b Detroit in Effect and Spiñorita, and workshops from Ectomorph and HiTech. The event then moves to Tangent
