Hate And New Techno

SOMMER2025☀️

Mixed 6 is borning

Techno 13

Chris Liebing

Psychotherapist by day, mind-hacker by night, here comes Leipzig’s Vincent Neumann with two hours of widely versatile techno and electronics. All in jagged dynamics and hi-NRG propulsion, Neumann’s mix is an ode to old-school raving, back when the DJ’s name was of no importance but the flow of the music itself was all that mattered, or when the true spirit of techno rhymed with riotous communion and a new horizon of possibilities, not some ultra fast-fashion side issue. The result is a fiery jaunt across some of those balls-out anthems old and new that got people converging from all around the country onto secret places, eager to let the socio-political frustration of their age out, regardless of how the norm thought of them. A manifesto-like set to play out loud and share around.

Description:
«With Anunnaki Burial Chambers EP, THEGOD01 lands on SMUTA delivering a fierce, ritualistic techno journey shaped by ancient mythologies and paleoastronautic narratives. The three tracks (Anunnaki Burial Chambers, Enki’s Temple, Black Throne of Nergal and Gates of Kur) explore dense sonic textures and relentless rhythms, evoking long-lost civilizations, buried chambers, and the lingering presence of non-human intelligences.

Each track stands as a cryptic chapter part ritual, part excavation that is immersing the listener in a world where techno becomes a vehicle for decoding forgotten knowledge and unlocking the codes of the past»

Retrospect 190 | Mad Zo (@mateusz-ma-owiejski)

A journey through Hard Techno. From start to finish, a rich soundscape designed to let you get carried away. Fast-paced rhythms balanced with moments of slowdown. A blend of trance-influenced tracks and heavy-hitting sounds — there's something here for everyone.

.

A Wrocław-born electronic music enthusiast. I started my journey with Trance, but over time my musical taste evolved towards Techno in the 140–150 BPM range. Melodic Hard Techno is where I feel truly at home. I’ve been passionate about DJing since my teenage years — first controllers, first sets, countless hours of self-taught practice. In 2023, I made my debut on the Wrocław club scene, performing at venues such as Ciało, Transformator, and Schron. Music is my escape from everyday life. Each set is a form of expression where I strive to deliver as much emotion and energy as possible.

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.
