Chris Liebing @ Klubnacht Berghain, Berlin - 08.09.2013.

Chris Liebing joins for DifferentSound Podcast #209.

We are excited to present our next special guest in the mixtape series: the legendary Chris Liebing!
Chris Liebing has been a driving force in the techno scene for decades, creating a whole genre back in the 90s with hard, fast banging techno and continuing to push the limits of electronic music today, His infectious energy and friendly demeanor have made him a beloved figure in the industry, and his dedication to elevating other artists has helped the scene flourish

Growing up in the German town of Giessen, Liebing’s journey has taken him from a passion for early electronic music to opening a nightclub (“Spinclub”), working in the Eye Q record store and an acclaimed, lasting career in techno. Dedicating himself to a life of creating and sharing music, Liebing has pioneered the European techno scene whilst always staying true to himself.His DJ sets have forever been fast-paced and immersive, physical workouts, though in more recent years they have tended towards a deeper, hybrid approach of layering multiple recordings into something uniquely his. The track selection draws from an encyclopedic knowledge of the techno genre and its history; he interacts with the crowd, intermittently smiling and retreating deep into concentration. An extensive collaboration with DJ software developer Native Instruments has provided Chris tailor-made, DJ technology for himself, and his expertise has provided the same for DJs around the world. As well as club and festival performances, Chris has a weekly radio show called AM/FM; like his involvement in the NovaMute label, it’s one of many ways he stays ahead of the curve with new music.

What a magic night that was 😍🤯
So happy to have been back at Hammahalle after all those years. The energy was super intense and I was sad to stop „already“ after 3hours. Tbh, i thought that i will end up playing a bit deeper as it was getting late/early but nope - no chance 🥵😀
Hope you enjoy the set as much as i did playing it! 🫶🏼

Beat Addiction Trax
Out Now in Digital 🔊
Jor-G Tortosa – Lobularia [BATX003]
Lobularia
Fade to Detune
Sustance
Artwork by Somos Espuma
Mastering by Jorge Tortosa
Lobularia is the result of a creative process that took months of work in the studio. With an obsessive dedication to structure, detail, and sound design, Jor-G Tortosa has shaped a project where every synthesizer and every rhythmic layer was crafted until reaching its own identity.
The EP delivers three intense and direct cuts, moving between hypnotic atmospheres and raw textures, reflecting the most underground essence of Beat Addiction Trax. “Lobularia” opens with mysticism and power, “Fade to Detune” dives into darker and destabilizing ground, while “Sustance” closes with a visceral pulse built for the dance floor.
More than just a release, this work represents a cycle of exploration and personal search that establishes Jor-G Tortosa as one of the unmistakable voices within the Spanish underground techno scene.

Lobularia es el fruto de un proceso creativo que ha llevado meses de trabajo en el estudio. Con una dedicación obsesiva a la estructura, los detalles y el diseño sonoro, Jor-G Tortosa ha dado forma a un proyecto donde cada sintetizador y cada capa de ritmo han sido moldeados hasta alcanzar una identidad propia.
El EP despliega tres cortes intensos y directos, que viajan entre atmósferas hipnóticas y texturas crudas, reflejando la esencia más underground de Beat Addiction Trax. “Lobularia” abre con fuerza y misticismo, “Fade to Detune” se adentra en terrenos oscuros y desestabilizadores, mientras que “Sustance” cierra con un pulso visceral diseñado para la pista.
Más que un simple lanzamiento, este trabajo representa un ciclo de exploración y búsqueda personal que consolida a Jor-G Tortosa como una de las voces inconfundibles dentro del techno underground español

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.
