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.

„Able Archer — urodzony na Śląsku DJ, producent, organizator imprez. Wychował się w Jaworznie, niedaleko klubu muzycznego Kanty powstałego w latach 90’, gdzie rodzi się w nim miłośnik winylowych dźwięków oraz starej szkoły miksowania. Jednak jego ciekawość budzi niedosyt, który przeradza się w pasję do budowy dźwięków muzyki techno. Pierwszym kontaktem z bitem były nocne audycje radiowe prowadzone przez ekipę śląskiej sceny. Podczas długiego pobytu w Wielkiej Brytanii szlifował swoje umiejętności DJ'skie, eksplorując na wszelakich rave’ach i squat’ach. Doświadczenia na niezliczonej liczbie programów do produkcji i modulacji dźwięku, wskazują mu kolejną drogę. W roku 2003 rozpoczyna współpracę z garażowym labelem Personal Division, którego aktualnie jest właścicielem. W ciągu kilku lat mieszkając na południu Holandii, zaprzyjaźnił się z tamtejszym kolektywem Wave Blender, z którym owocnie organizowali wiele eventów, nabierając tym samym nowych doświadczeń. Wracając na swoje podwórko, zakłada kolektyw Techno Terapia, pod którego szyldem z dużym powodzeniem organizuje cykliczne imprezy. W dalszym progresie wraz z innymi kolektywani tworzą projekt InValid Techno Music, którym promowali muzykę techno poprzez coweekendowe transmisje na żywo z różnych miejsc Polski i nie tylko. Able Archer to utalentowany DJ i producent  potrafiący odnaleźć się w wielu stylach Techno (hard, schranz, dark, acid, pure, banging, deep) i inspirować się nawet najmniejszymi bodźcami świata zewnętrznego, co z kolei napełnia go pozytywną energią, którą dobrze wykorzystuję w swojej twórczości, jak również przekazuje ją publice. W ostatnim czasie zagrał na wydarzeniach Resist Night w klubie Warehouse Stk 47 oraz na Szpitalnej 1 w Krakowie, jak również na Festiwalu Mózg w Bydgoszczy. Aktualnie jako muzycznie bezkompromisowy i ambitny samouk, w którego żyłach tętni beat, skupia się na własnej produkcji. Inspiracje głównie czerpie z całej gamy stylu określanego jako hard techno.”
“Able Archer - DJ, producer, event organizer born in Silesia. He grew up in Jaworzno, near the Kanty music club established in the 1990s, where he became a fan of vinyl sounds and the old school of mixing. However, his curiosity arouses scarcity, which turns into a passion for building the sounds of techno music. The first contact with the beat were nightly radio broadcasts conducted by the Silesian stage crew. During his long stay in Great Britain, he honed his DJ skills, exploring various raves and squats. Experience with countless sound production and modulation programs shows him another path. In 2003, he started collaborating with the garage label Personal Division, which he currently owns. Over the course of several years, while living in the south of the Netherlands, he became friends with the local Wave Blender collective, with whom they successfully organized many events, thus gaining new experiences. Returning to his backyard, he establishes the Techno Terapia collective, under whose banner he organizes regular events with great success. In further progress, together with other collectives, they created the InValid Techno Music project, through which they promoted techno music through weekly live broadcasts from various places in Poland and beyond. Able Archer is a talented DJ and producer who can fit into many Techno styles (hard, schranz, dark, acid, pure, banging, deep) and be inspired by even the smallest stimuli from the outside world, which in turn fills him with positive energy, which is well I use it in my work and also share it with the public. Recently, he played at the Resist Night events at the Warehouse Stk 47 club and Szpitalna 1 in Kraków, as well as at the Mózg Festival in Bydgoszcz. Currently, as a musically uncompromising and ambitious autodidact with beat pulsating in his veins, he focuses on his own production. Inspiration mainly comes from the entire range of style known as hard techno.”
