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.
