Musikalische Vita:
Chris Zicked (Zick Head), bürgerlich Christian Zickel, geboren 1984 und aufgewachsen in Essen (NRW). Ab 1999 bis 2004 wohnhaft im Einzugsgebiet von Hamburg. Seid 2004 bis heute wieder in Essen.
Mit elektronischer Musik kam er erstmals 1999 in Berührung! Die Veröffentlichung des Albums Techno Vibes von Mellow Trax verriet damals schon in welche Richtung sich seine Musik entwickeln sollte, jedoch führte sein Weg ihn vorab über verschieden Spaten der elektronischen Tanzmusik! Sei es Handz Up, Trance, House, Hardstyle oder Hardcore! So ziemlich jedes Genre hatte in der Vergangenheit einen Platz in seinem Leben.
Sein Platz hinter dem Dj Pult nahm er erstmals im Jahre 2000 ein. Damals noch unter den Fittichen von Freunden die das Auflegen als Hobby betrieben war er im Nu angefixt sich möglichst schnell eigenes Equipment anzuschaffen. Knapp 2 Jahre sparen und unendliche Lehrstunden auf privaten Veranstaltungen hatten 2 Turntables, einen analogen 2 Kanalmischer und einen Doppel CD Player zur folge, womit er nun auch selber im Stande dazu war die Musik zu leben die er liebt!
Berufliche und häusliche Veränderungen brachten ihn 2004 wieder zurück in seine Heimatstadt Essen. Die fehlenden Kontakte und sein Werdegang in der Gastronomie veranlassten ihn dazu dem Hobby kaum noch Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken und schliesslich das Aus für das Thema DJ!
Erst Ende 2013 packte ihn die Leidenschaft der Musik wieder und durch Motivation seiner Freunde begann er erneut das Auflegen im privaten Sektor. Sein musikalisches Interesse beschränkt sich hinterm Dj-Pult inzwischen auf dunkle und harte Technoklänge. Sein kompromissloser Stiel in Mixing und Trackauswahl fand recht schnell anklang bei Fans dieses Genres, was ihm in relativ kurzer Zeit zu Auftritten in verschiedenen Clubs Deutschlands und 2015 sogar auf ein Festival nach Eindhoven (NL) verhalf! 
Ein Jahr lang beschallte er den Essener Sceneclub K1 als Resident DJ.
Mit seinem besten Freund zusammen gründete er Anfang 2014 die Veranstaltungsreihe Antimaterie die seit April 2014 regelmässig in Essen  statt findet. Mit ihm als Resident Dj und weiteren festen Künstlern stellen sie die Technoscene in und um Essen herum auf den Kopf, mit Musik der etwas härten Gangart! Treu ihrem Motto: They Call it noize - We call it Techno!
Mitte 2014 veröffentlichte er sein eigenes Podcastprojekt, Bassnutten - der Podcast, welches wöchentlich mit neuen Sets von Künstlern der Szene auf Soundcloud aufwartet! Hierbei handelt es sich nicht nur um ein Forum für das Who is Who der Szene, sondern soll auch ambitionierten Jungkünstlern eine Plattform bieten ihre Sets der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren!

Chris Zicked - Machs, aber machs geil!

Chris Liebing is synonymous with techno. His legacy is long assured, but his craft never stops evolving. Whether as label head, podcast curator, DJ or producer, he continues to challenge himself and his audience to explore new realms in the electronic world. And often ahead of the curve, too, from the early, hard-edged and loopy 90s sound which is back en vogue today, through his more stripped-back turn of the millennium minimalism and onto the cinematic atmospheres and broader alternative electronica of his latest albums on Mute. It's no stretch to say, then, that Chris Liebing's story is closely connected to the story of techno itself. 

Liebing is considered a global techno ambassador, but his ambitious album projects and direct club tracks excite and innovate as much as any new school star. A proudly forward-thinking attitude ensures that is the case as his DJ tools and studio setup constantly evolve. He continues to be an early adopter of emerging technology, too, just as he was with vinyl controllers, Traktor and when leading the way with full hybrid/live DJing. 

These days, Liebing incorporates an ever wider sphere of sound into his own work. After an eight-year break from full lengths, 2018's Burn Slow on Mute was a creative rebirth that received critical acclaim and confounded all expectations. It was a melancholic mediation on gothic moods, looming apocalyptic landscapes and optimistic broken-beat techno that drew from his childhood love of Depeche Mode, Gary Numan and the New Romantic movement. 

Remixes for Depeche Mode and Goldfrapp followed alongside a collaborative single with Charlotte De Witte, and 2021 brought a second album on Mute, Another Day. It found Liebing exploring all new ways of expressing both his euphoric and melodic side, all with high-grade technical skill and meticulous sonic craft with a range of collaborators from Miles Cooper Seaton to Polly Scattergood. This exceptional form continued into 2023 as he returned to the club with his Love Those Who Fight With Passion And Faith EP on CLR, a passionate and politically charged call to the dance floor that joined Liebing and Luke Slater’s remix of Depeche Mode’s iconic ‘Ghosts Again’ in the first half of the year. 

Born in Giessen and active ever since the 1990s, Liebing has always platformed the talent around him as much as himself: a long time before they were commonplace, he famously helmed his own CLR podcast. For many years, it was the scene's most influential series, with a who's who of international pioneers at the helm. After that came the equally important AM/FM radio show, but now following a hiatus, the CLR podcast is back and pushing a fresh techno agenda, as is his iconic label of the same name.

In its first chapter, CLR stood for Chris Liebing Records, then Create Learn Realize, and now Create Learn Repeat - a subtle evolution that is at the heart of everything Liebing does. The label will always be synonymous with exciting techno and is now back hosting parties and festival stages. 

Though his music is underpinned by pulsating menace and a stomping sense of drama, Liebing himself is friendly with a famous smile. It is the music that motivates him and the freedom that comes with increased experience. These days there are no limits, no expectations, but a continued love for the art and craft of techno that is taking him down all new creative pathways.
