  • Tresor founder Dimitri Hegemann has revealed plans to open an electronic music museum at Kraftwerk Berlin. Hegemann recently told Insomniac that the museum would be called Living Archive Of Elektronika. Speaking to RA, Hegemann said it was unlikely the archive would open in 2016, the year in which Tresor is celebrating its 25th anniversary. It will be housed inside Kraftwerk Berlin, a cavernous space that's home to the annual Berlin Atonal festival. Hegemann said the aim is to showcase "how techno has helped develop the city of Berlin" with "a contemporary assortment of technology and analogue artifacts, paraphernalia and recordings." It'll likely be the second such institution in Germany, with Frankfurt's MOMEM (Museum Of Modern Electronic Music) slated to open in 2017. Listen to Hegemann's 2014 RA Exchange below.
