Archiv #08 by Savvas Ysatis

Following Juan Atkins’ “I Love You / Techno City ‘95”, the Archiv series came back in 2013, staying true to its mission, examining the always surprising and never ending Tresor Records catalog. That time around, the spotlight was placed on Greek producer Savvas Ysatis.

After his move from Athens to New York City in ‘93, Ysatis released a string of collaborative works with his production partner Taylor Deupree, before returning to Greece five years later in order to help develop the local scene. Two albums came out in 1999 (Highrise) and 2001 (Select) on Tresor Records. Genuine pioneering works, both of Ysatis’ LP efforts still sound as relevant today as they did nearly fifteen years ago. The four classics and two original remixes present on this Archiv #08 re-issue have been carefully selected by Savvas Ysatis and Tresor, to be re-mastered and cut in a new configuration for your listening pleasure and playing comfort.

When Tresor opened on March 13th 1991 in a shack on Potsdamer Platz, beneath which the vault of the Wertheim department store lay, no one would have thought that from there would arise an institution that one day would celebrate 34 years of existence.
