Founding of Tresor Records (Berlin)
Tresor Records was founded in Berlin in 1991 as the label arm of the city's new techno club, and it quickly became the European home of Detroit producers. By licensing and releasing artists like Jeff Mills and Underground Resistance, Tresor cemented the bridge between Detroit and a reunified Berlin. The label gave the city a catalogue to match the dancefloor.
