“A rare live set from DJ Pete and Sleeparchive.
TR-101 is the collaborative live project of DJ Pete and Sleeparchive, although you’d been forgiven if this was your introduction as they’ve only stepped out under the alias a handful of times. Peter Kuschnereit is recognized as one of Berlin’s longest-serving techno figureheads through his work behind the counter at Hard Wax and in the studio as Substance and one half of Scion alongside René Löwe (AKA Vainqueur). Roger Semsroth, meanwhile, has been dabbling in the deepest recesses of minimal techno as Sleeparchive since 2004, releasing a string of low-key 12-inches through his eponymous imprint, and most recently appearing on Tresor with Ronan Point in the middle of 2011.
As for TR-101? Well, the name is a clue (the pair surround themselves with hardware for their live performances) and so is their established proclivity for pitch black techno. It may just be the start of January, but we doubt you’ll hear a more refined take of the genre this year.”
