Berlin’s vaunted, vaulted Tresor club is about to star in yet another film about its history, as the venue’s eponymous label prepares to release the documentary SubBerlin: The Story of Tresor, a DVD-CD package, on April 2.

In the video above, you can check out a few soundbites from the likes of Jeff Mills, Alan Oldham, Sven Vath, Josh Wink, and Chris Liebing, who make up just a handful of the genre-defining techno stalwarts that help to tell this legendary venue’s story. Naturally, the final cut will also feature interviews with Tresor co-founder Dimitri Hegemann, detailing how he first found the structure in post-Wall Berlin, and turned the basement of a bombed-out department store into the mythical club it would become.

Of course, Tresor also spawned one of the city’s most hallowed techno labels, putting onto wax some equally legendary tracks from Berlin, Detroit, and beyond by artists like Blake Baxter, Robert Hood, Joey Beltram, Daniel Bell, Drexciya, and tons of others. So SubBerlin could not be complete without a companion soundtrack, which includes tunes from Savvas Ysatis, Pacou, Scan 7, The Advent, James Ruskin, and Stewart Walker. Also included in the SubBerlin set is a 20-page booklet, one ticket to Tresor (in its current location in Mitte, Berlin), and a sticker.
