HHH EP by Jonas Kopp

After Jonas Kopp’s well-received debut album ‘Beyond the Hypnosis’, released on Tresor Records in November 2014, the Argentinian returned to the label with a powerful and club-oriented EP, ‘HHH’. Over the past 10 years Kopp has explored and found himself comfortable in many genres of music ranging from housey beats to hypnotic techno. This particular release finds itself comfortably in the middle of a dark and dusty dance floor.
‘Khaa’ opens the EP with a deep pumping bass as schizophrenic chords intermingle with hi-hats to form a stimulating composition full of energy. Conversely, ‘Nahn’ unfolds in parallel structure, cheeky yet with a smoother bassline to ease delivery in a more more melodious way.
‘Hank’ unfurls with a thunderous stomping bass which cracks upon each beat sending you into a frenetic march while sinister atmospheres appear overhead. ‘Sinstro’ yields a whole new ambiance, with fraught chords pattering on the surface, while spatial airy moods climax throughout the piece to stimulate the mind.
Finally, the digital bonus track ‘Nekh’ brings the story full circle with a bold opening cut which builds into a cosmic trip. Altogether a feverish EP fit for peak-time elation.

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 33 years of existence.
