Riod by Juan Atkins & Moritz von Oswald present Borderland

Juan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald – the two indispensable protagonists of the Electric Garden – plug back into the wilderness.

‘Transport’ – the full length effort of the Borderland collaborative project – brings together a set of studio-refined sequences aimed at colonizing some of the dark energy that pulsates through those areas that are thoroughly electrified, even if not ‘on the grid’. ‘Riod’ is the first streak to bolt through.

The Detroit-Berlin axis triangulates to a third point which, like the atomic particle that lives in two places at once, flickers between a form of techno-charged ambience and a futuristic club-jazz which cannot be broken down into constitutive parts.

Borderland remains caught in a state of enraptured stillness, invisibly moving between every imagined future for electronic sound making.
The result: a font from which springs serene and exhilarating musical ideas that vibrate with refined energy for sixty seconds in every minute.
‘Transport' released on CD and 2LP, on April 22nd 2016. ‘Riod’ released on 12” on March 11th 2016.

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.
