CLR 106EP
|
For the first CLR release of 2023, Chris Liebing drops a heavy-hitting EP for his own imprint, the two-track Love Those Who Fight With Passion And Faith EP. Leading the release, "For Those Who Fight" combines sub-rattling kicks and siren-esque bleeps with rousing vocal samples and shimmering percussion for a warehouse-filling club cut. "With Passion And Faith" keeps the energy levels high with dubbed-out FX, twisted atmospherics and sizzling drum machines. While 2022 was dominated by Liebing's Another Day LP and remix version, "Another Night", for Daniel Miller's Mute, 2023 will see Liebing in full-on singles mode with some notable collaborations to come. Liebing's iconic CLR imprint started in 1999 and returned in 2021 after a five-year hiatus. Now titled Create Learn Repeat, CLR reemerged in the techno underground with releases from Liebing himself, followed by newcomer Frankie Bromley, upstarts Hertz Collision & Gene Richards Jr, DEAS, Truncate, Drumcell, and techno legend Luke Slater.

German producer Chris Liebing celebrates the 10th anniversary of his CLR label (an acronym for "Create -- Learn -- Realize). He's always been true to his techno roots, from the legendary Omen days to CLRetry to his Residency at Space in Ibiza. He's got a lot in common with Speedy J: the Zen attitude, the hunger for development in digital Djing and production that leads to involvement with custom soft- and hardware, the obvious bliss that tough and sexy grooving beats invoke in them. And last but not least, ethical values that strive to push the musically advanced over the safe standard, the talent over the hype. This is music that is unarguably underground -- a driving force behind re-introducing a darker, harder style of techno back to the floors. On this compilation, you'll discover a universe of relentless, high-tech beats and soundscapes. Big bass drops unveil sexy grooves, massaging the body from belly to fingertips. Hypnotizing patterns and reverb rooms surround pounding beats and sudden high-range attacks. These tracks work like crazy on the floor, and that's a proven fact. This is what techno sounds like on a 2010 technology level -- big room and tough, but ballsy and slick, functional yet innovative. This collection features techno protagonists you'll know from the last 10 years such as Adam Beyer, Alex Bau, Speedy J, Chris Liebing vs. Green Velvet, Function vs. Jerome Sydenham and new faces no less brilliant, such as Dustin Zahn, Brian Sanhaji, Monoloc, Pfirter, and of course Tommy Four Seven. All artists produced their tracks exclusively for this project, giving it a unique character. Techno enters its third decade stronger than ever with no end in sight, and CLR will help shape that future.
