Belgian artist Milo Spykers is first out of the traps for 2022, with his ‚Hier & Nu’ EP (complete with a remix from Fengler) delivering a four-track punch of modern techno. Spyker’s use of dense synths across the EP imbue his tracks with a memorable character that leaps out of the speakers. 

From the jagged and oppressive leads of ‘Hier & Nu’ to the outright anthemic riffs of ‘The Helicity’ via the cascading stabs of ‘Happex’, the ‚Hier & Nu’ EP is a boisterous work of controlled chaos. Fengler’s remix of ‘Hier & Nu’ extracts Spyker's synths, and with clinical precision, reconstructs them around a lean, muscular rhythm track that oozes tension. 

'Milo is a very talented young producer. He’s got an uncompromising taste in techno and that convinced me that he’s both a DJ and producer I want to support. I’m really happy to welcome him to the IMF Family.’ (Marcel Fengler, Jan 2022)

Christian Smith recently spent a few days in Germany working on some tracks with Eric Sneo. Life Moves Pretty Fast has a nice old school feel, but with todays production. Loads of energy with phat grooves, and analog stabs. Deluxe is arpeggio driven, more hypnotic, but equally powerful!

Turkey’s Procombo debuts on CLR with the ‘Upscale’ EP

Istanbul’s Procombo arrives on Chris Liebing’s CLR for the first time, dropping the two-track ‘Upscale’ EP 18th July 2025. The title track sees the RX boss deploy a nimble and precise cut that, despite its heavyweight low-end punch, glides smoothly over evolving synth loops. It’s muscular, meticulous, and perfectly engineered intensity.

'Be Alive' is a rolling juggernaut of a track built for shadowy warehouses and heads-down moments. Dystopian sirens wail through the mix like warning signals amidst flickering neon ruins. There’s a constant sense of unease, a creeping tension that builds and builds brilliantly, closing out a package already supported by the likes of Peder Mannerfeldt, Emerald, and Elisa Bee.

Procombo has been a pillar of his native Istanbul scene since the mid-90s, as a DJ, producer, and label head of RX Recordings, an offshoot of the influential former RX Istanbul club he helmed. He's well known in heady Techno circles for his work on Radio Slave’s Rekids label, Planet Rhythm, and now Chris Liebing's legendary CLR.

Founded by Techno pioneer Chris Liebing in 1999 and relaunched in 2021 after a five-year break, CLR has featured heavyweights like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, and Bjarki, while championing rising talents including Risa Taniguchi and Klint.
