According to the PR blurb, Kern is Tresor's new mix series and focuses on "where old meets new, and house meets techno". The first mix comes from Parisian legend DJ Deep, from which these three exclusive, never-heard-before tracks are taken. There's plenty to get excited about, from the dubwise Detroit hypnotism of Marcelus' "YO2", to the techno-tempo deep, jackin' house of Maan's thrilling "Jackin". Best of all, though, is the contribution from the ever-impressive Kerri Chandler. His "Cobal" - a fusion of loose, swinging house beats, darting electronics and starburst synths - is arguably his strongest track for some time.
