Welcome back to the wonderful world of Sniper Mode! It is almost unbelievable at which space the project of Gregor Trescher has evolved over the past eighteen months: following a highly acclaimed debut, the young talent Trescher has gathered some respect with a series of outstanding remixes. Among those remix works there is the strong ÜNN “Reality"-remix which has brought recognition in German and English press to Sniper Mode as well as the great cooperation with Pascal F.E.O.S. for the remix of Camouflage´s “Me & You". Yet, this new longplayer is not a Sniper Mode solo album but is a joint venture with Swiss producer Murat Böyük Pilavci aka MBP. It reflects an intense collaboration which has been going on for more than three years now. Despite all distances, Trescher/Pilavci have constantly met to work on “Travellers Beyond" in their Swiss and German studios and created the fifteen tracks of the album. The combined style of the two producer is undoubtedly charaterized by most tricky beat arrangements and an irrestible electro sound which shows reference to techno as well as electronica influences and therefore creates a very unique atmosphere, hence title track “Travellers Beyond", “Sciene & Vision" (video playing on German TV programm FlowMotion!) or “Diesel" (licensed to Space Night Vol. 9). “Travellers Beyond" is a strong and versatile album, leaving a subtle hunger for more of the two producers` work... and as rumours have it, a mighty new Sniper Mode album is not too far from being dropped.

Mikrolux MKX01CD
After the release of Anthony Rother’s ‚Darkness’ Mikrolux now sees the release of its first artist album. Sniper Mode is the brainchild of Gregor Trescher who has made a name for himself and his signature electro sound, and already graced Elektrolux with a well received 12“ under the same guise. He now serves up an amazing collection of 16 extra-crisp tracks that are aimed directly at your mind, body and soul. ‚Wastelands’ perfectly displays Trescher’s outstanding talent for sharp, metallic and extremely quirky rhythm patterns combined with the sheer beauty of an overall dreamy atmosphere. And Gregor Trescher once again sports an infectious mixture from spaced-out dubby electronica, vocoder-filled electro and sweet downtempo grooves to impressive experimental moments and tricky techfunk. All tracks are of the highest standard, somehow sneak in through the backdoor and sit perfectly within the label’s sound aesthetic. ‚Wastelands’ is a long building voyage into finest electronic music, providing moments of deep contemplation as well as uplifting vibes to soothe your ears. It’s an album that reflects Sniper Mode’s technical wizardry, great production skills and an incredibly wide range of musical flavours. A deep and sexy statement against schematic music, the dictatorship of bpm and other genre commandments. A truly unique masterpiece!
