Gregor Tresher
False Gods
Break New Soil / BNS005CD
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.
