In the field of electronic music, Gregor Tresher is by no means a debutant. For more than seven years the thirty-year old DJ and producer from Rhine-Main in Germany gathered merits modernizing the algorithms of electronic music. His "Still EP" in 2005 shot him into the Champions League of European Techno producers. In 2005 & 2006, releases like "Neon", "Full Range Madness" or "The Now People" on labels like Great Stuff, Datapunk and Cocoon earned Gregor plaudits from across the dance world, but 2007 was the year that Gregor firmly cemented his place within the elite of dance music. His first full length artists album, "A Thousand Nights", has gone on to become one of the biggest selling dance albums of recent years. Tracks like "Painkiller", "Anti" and "The Wombat" were all massive hits for Gregor in 2007 but the title track from his album proved to be his biggest hit to date.

The biggest track in electronic music in 2007, the genre breaking "A Thousand Nights" appeared on more compilations and tracklistings than you can shake a stick at! It has been hammered by nearly every top disc jockey worldwide and has gone on to reach number one in numerous dance charts across the globe (biggest selling techno track on Beatport in 2007), yet as a testament to its quality, it still sounds as fresh as the day it was released. Combining a mixture of influences and sounds, "A Thousand Nights" managed to appeal to all fans of electronic music, not just techno fans. Inclusion on Steve Angello's "Sizeism", Gabriel & Dresden's "Toolroom Knights" and Francois K's "Masterpiece" demonstrates the appreciation for the track across numerous genres.

Gregor Tresher is now considered by many to be one of the top techno DJs and producers around. With Sven Vath, Dubfire, Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha and Joris Voorn among his biggest fans, Gregor's rise on the production front has coincided with his rapid rise on the DJing front. Over the last 2 years, Gregor has played all the major events like Mayday, Nature One and the Street Parade and also all the prime European clubs like Fabric London, Fuse Brussels, Loft Barcelona or the Cocoon Club in Frankfurt. His DJing skills and performances have seen him become one of the hottest DJ properties in Europe.
