CLR Podcasts / Mixes / Live Sets

New release out on Bandcamp 15th March https://milligramme.bandcamp.com

With a career spanning nearly three decades, Alexander Kowalski’s story is a living testament to the legacy of Berlin techno. His journey began in the late 90s amidst the city’s cultural revolution, ignited by the emergence of techno music. Debuting in 1997 under the moniker DisX3 at the legendary club Tresor in Berlin, he quickly established himself as a driving force in shaping the sounds of the era with fast-paced beats and robust bass lines. 

His impactful live sets also led to releases on the esteemed label of Tresor.Under the guidance of Heiko Laux’s Kanzleramt label, Kowalski pioneered the melodic and sophisticated sound for which he is renowned—a sound that has become synonymous with German techno. His albums 'Echoes', 'Progress', and 'Response', along with tracks like 'Speaker Attack,' 'Belo Horizonte,' and 'All I Got To Know,' have made significant contributions to the history of techno.

Kowalski's music productions and live performances have earned widespread acclaim from both dancefloor enthusiasts and discerning music critics alike. His remixes are highly sought after by icons such as Dave Gahan, Joris Voorn, Paul Kalkbrenner and Funk D´Void. This he balances with a heavy touring schedule, appearing at major festivals including Awakenings, Time Warp, Mayday, Nature One, I Love Techno, Monegros, Aquasella, and many more.

In 2009, he launched his own label, Damage Music, as a platform for his own music and releases from artists he really admires. He has also released music on esteemed platforms such as Be As One, ARTS, Illegal Alien, Tronic, and Arkham Audio. His 'Cycles' LP on Mord stands as a testament to his ability to create timeless music, showcasing the enduring relevance and agility of his productions.

As techno continues to evolve, so too does Kowalski's artistry. He remains at the forefront of modern techno innovation with his principal releases under the name Alexander Kowalski. Additionally, he keeps the analog spirit of 90s techno alive through his DisX3 live and DJ performances, transporting new generations of dancers back to the genre's golden age.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @garybeck for its 110th episode of Amplify Series.

Glasgow born producer and DJ Gary Beck has long been
established as a primary figure in techno.
Known and respected for his unique sound, he has gained support from the best names in the business and released music on some of the genre's leading labels, including Mutual Rytm, Soma, as well as his own BEK Audio imprint.

Since his emergence onto the scene in 2007, Beck has accumulated an impressive list of achievements. Highlights include a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, two Boiler Room session's, featured music on BBC 1 Drama ‘Stonemouth', and 'God Save The Quine', as well as numerous collaborations with exceptional talents such as MR. G, GreenVelvet, Debra Debs, Mark Broom and Speedy J.

2012 saw the release of his seminal debut album 'Bring a Friend' on the legendary Soma Records label. It was their 100th album release, and this was a great honour for Gary. His second album 'Dal Riata' was released in November 2019 on BEK Audio.
You can also find Gary appearing under various different alias's, including Sosak & Tanera.

In terms of performing, Gary has appeared at some of the worlds largest and respected clubs and festivals, with shows at renowned venues such as Womb Tokyo, Fabric London, Awakenings, T in the Park Scotland, Spazio Rome, Output NYC, Printworks London, and Timewarp, to name a few. In addition to a busy performance schedule, Beck spends time as head of BEK Audio, an imprint which has quickly become one of the most revered techno labels on the scene after releases from the likes of Floorplan, Mark Broom, Slam, DJ Rush & Ritzi Lee.

Gary say's on approaching the 60th release “I initially set up the label as a release platform for my own music, however that quickly changed. I don't put myself under any pressure with the releases. It simply has to be really good!

CLR Podcast 439 I Björn Torwellen

Greetings, Earthlings.
With the transmission of protocol HGD31, we unveil the latest chapter in our ongoing analysis of your species, Homo-Sapiens. This time, our attention is focused on Manglés, a terrestrial lifeform based in the region you call Asturias, currently operating as a resident DJ at the Lanna Club. His ability to shape soundwaves into tools of spatial and mental distortion makes him a subject of high interest in our research.

We have intercepted and decoded five sonic structures directly linked to his cerebral activity.
Four of them follow a straight 4/4 techno format dark, hypnotic, and ritualistic. The fifth, the title track “Trascendance Code”, breaks into a fractured broken-beat rhythm while maintaining the same ominous, alien language. What Manglés produces is more than music, it’s a gateway. His sounds carry frequencies that tap into the psychic ether: psychedelic, introspective, futuristic. They don’t just entertain—they shift perception, awaken dormant cosmic memories, and question the limitations of human consciousness. We, the multidimensional entities operating under the identity Humanoid Gods™, observe your evolution through the waves you emit. In this transmission, Manglés acts as a raw conduit for transcendental codes.

This EP is a signal. A tool. A key.
THEGOD01

HGD31 has been produced and recorded by Manglés, curated and mastered by Franco Cazzola at Nasty Music Basement studios in Turin, Italy.

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.
