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.

Luke Sun Tour Dates

Luke Sun (MOVE, Tanzhaus West Frankfurt/Main)
(english Version)
Born in Prague, musically shaped in the Rhein-Main area: Luke Sun has been deeply rooted in electronic music since the early 1990s. As a teenager, he began collecting Vinyl records, influenced by artists such as Prodigy, Depeche Mode, Front 242, KLF, Orbital, and later Sven Väth, which paved his way into club culture. Visiting the legendary Omen Frankfurt in 1995 was a key moment – from that night on it was clear: techno is not just music, it is a way of life.

By the mid-90s, Luke Sun had developed his skills behind the decks and played his first gigs in bars and clubs around Gelnhausen Area. At the same time, he worked at Frankfurt’s record store Boy Records, where he broadened his musical spectrum and experienced the scene up close.

With radio shows like Connect, numerous bookings at home and abroad, and projects such as distortion club funkfurt and Nachteulen, Luke Sun quickly made a name for himself – not only as a DJ but also as a promoter. His vita includes legendary venues and festivals such as Tresor Berlin, U60311 Frankfurt, Cocoon Club Frankfurt, Suicide Circus Berlin, Roxy Prague, Svojšice Festival, Cave Club Salzburg, U-Club Bratislava, L-Klub Pardubice, Underworld Schlüchtern, and many more.

Since 2015, Luke Sun has been a resident at MOVE at Tanzhaus West, one of the most important techno events in the Rhein-Main region. In addition, he has shaped the scene with his own series such as DC-funkfurt, Nachteulen, Connect, and in 2025 launched the event series “Techno Will Never Die”, which embodies his vision of a techno culture rooted in tradition while looking toward the future.

Musically, Luke is versatile: from deep, raw warm-up sets to hypnotic, driving techno and powerful peak-time sound. His style is clear, uncompromising, and yet always emotional.

Beyond the club scene, Luke has been working intensively in the studio for several years. His first own productions and several unreleased tracks offer a glimpse of where his sound as a producer is heading.

Those who have experienced Luke Sun live know: his sets are more than music – they are an experience. With energy, passion, and his unmistakable smile, he drives the crowd until the early morning hours – techno in its purest form.

(german version)
Geboren in Prag, musikalisch gereift im Rhein-Main-Gebiet: Luke Sun ist seit den frühen 90er-Jahren tief in der elektronischen Musik verwurzelt. Schon als Teenager begann er, Techno auf Schallplatten zu sammeln, geprägt von Einflüssen wie Prodigy, Depeche Mode, Front 242, KLF, Orbital und später Sven Väth seinen Weg in die Clubkultur ebneten. Der Besuch im legendären Omen Frankfurt 1995 war ein Schlüsselmoment – ab diesem Tag stand fest: Techno ist nicht nur Musik, sondern ein Lebensgefühl.

Ab Mitte der 90er entwickelte Luke Sun seine Skills an den Decks und spielte erste Gigs in Bars und Clubs rund um Gelnhausen. Parallel arbeitete er im Frankfurter Plattenladen Boy Records, wo er sein musikalisches Spektrum erweiterte und die Szene hautnah erlebte.

Mit Radiosendungen wie Connect, zahlreichen Bookings im In- und Ausland sowie Projekten wie dem distortion club funkfurt und Nachteulen machte sich Luke Sun früh einen Namen – nicht nur als DJ, sondern auch als Promoter. Seine Vita umfasst legendäre Locations und Festivals wie Tresor Berlin, U60311 Frankfurt, Cocoon Club Frankfurt, Suicide Circus Berlin, Roxy Prag, Svojšice Festival, Cave Club Salzburg, U-Club Bratislava, L-Klub Pardubice, Underworld Schlüchtern und viele mehr.

Seit 2015 ist Luke Sun Resident bei der MOVE im Tanzhaus West, einem der bedeutendsten Techno-Events der Rhein-Main-Region. Darüber hinaus prägte er die Szene mit eigenen Reihen wie DC-funkfurt, Nachteulen, Connect. 2025 rief er die Event-Reihe "Techno Will Never Die" ins Leben, die seine Vision einer an den Wurzeln orientierten und zugleich zukunftsgerichteten Techno-Kultur verkörpert.

Musikalisch ist Luke vielseitig aufgestellt: von deepen, raw Warm-up-Sets über hypnotisch-treibenden Techno bis hin zu kraftvollem Peak-Time-Sound. Seine Handschrift ist klar, kompromisslos und dennoch immer emotional.

Neben dem Clubgeschehen arbeitet Luke seit einigen Jahren intensiv im Studio. Erste eigene Produktionen und mehrere unreleased Tracks geben einen Vorgeschmack darauf, wohin sich sein Sound als Produzent entwickeln wird.

Wer Luke Sun live erlebt, weiß: Seine Sets sind mehr als Musik – sie sind ein Erlebnis. Mit Energie, Leidenschaft und seinem unverkennbaren Lächeln bringt er das Publikum bis in die Morgenstunden in Bewegung – Techno in seiner reinsten Form.
