Christian Smith kicks off 2022 with 3 remixes of one of his recent classics 'Turn the Lights'! Pig&Dan, Drunken Kong, and Alessandro Grops all delivered their interpretations of the track with great results! Pig&Dan made a phat bassline driven and moody remix, whereas Drunken Kong went for a clubby peak time techno sound, and Alessandro Grops more edgy and tough. Three great and varied remixes!

MindTrip brings another sample of the Argentinian Techno scene through one of its greatest beacons: Flug.
Sebastian Lopez is now based in Barcelona, although he took his first steps in Buenos Aires, where he developed a brutal discipline in the studio and a passion for his work that nowadays allows him to travel Planet Earth as a DJ, while simultaneously flooding your devices with a flurry of hypnotic synth lines and furious rhythms.
'Blurry Thoughts' gives us a wall of sound that is much more than that. It is direct music, and simultaneously it is a journey back to the roots of the artist and to his inner present.
UK talent and Clergy boss, Cleric, joins the crusade and enlightens us with his own version of 'Psychopath'; The perfect closure for an adventure that mixes heaven, earth, and a few dark places too.
This is MindTrip!

Dubfire - Bottom Dweller (Chris Liebing Remix)

https://lnk.to/CLR123

Chris Liebing remakes Emmanuel Top’s iconic ‘Turkish Bazar’. A new version of the 1994 acid rave hit lands on Liebing’s CLR on 20th December 2024.

Chris Liebing’s long-awaited remake of Emmanuel Top’s 1994 classic ‘Turkish Bazar’ arrives on CLR this December. Initially released via the Le Petit Prince label, ‘Turkish Bazar’ is an evergreen club hit, now painstakingly rebuilt by Techno powerhouse Chris Liebing, with each musical element reforged to create an essential new version.

Liebing’s version of ‘Turkish Bazar’ features the instantly recognisable spoken word vocal of the original, while he ups its unmistakable 303 with an additional dose of acid. Raw, unfiltered licks are in tandem with pounding drums as airy pads and dainty sequences aim to soothe dancefloor madness. Extensively road-tested by Chris Liebing and blessed by Emmanuel Top for release via CLR, this is a mammoth revisit that lives up to the original’s timeless appeal.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

A brand-new EP from Hertz, featuring the track "Grisch," which has been fine-tuned and perfected since 2021. At last, the perfect balance is here! This track has consistently proven its success every time it’s been unleashed on the dance floor. "Legendary" is one of those funky, essential tools every techno DJ searches for during a set. And then there’s "Barking," a rolling bassline topped with a finely tweaked stab. This marks Hertz's first EP of 2025 - get ready!

Chris Liebing returns to his CLR with two-track EP.

Chris Liebing comes back to his CLR label this April with the ‘Phantom Rider’ EP, already supported by Daniel Avery, GiGi FM, Jon Hester, and more. The first track, ‘Kaizen’, doesn’t hold back - pounding drums, cavernous dub chords, and a razor-sharp snare-laden groove all play a part in this peak-time offering. Liebing’s ‘Wailer’ completes the package, continuing with more rough and raw rhythm and wonky, unfiltered 303 lines, making for a fantastic follow-up to his acclaimed version of Emmanuel Top’s acid techno hit, ‘Turkish Bazaar’, which closed out CLR’s 2024 and has stayed at the top of the Beatport Techno charts throughout 2025.

Breakpoint

PREVIEW: Kaan Pirecioglu - Breakpoint EP | FSR012

Chronicle of a Journey continues as a conceptual album divided into 13 chapters, each one representing an emotional state and a personal experience told through music.

Chapter 10 speaks about the kind of effort only understood by those who live inside the process. Working even when results don’t show up, moving forward even when every step feels heavy. It’s the chapter where I remind myself that every meaningful progress begins this way: in silence, with patience, trusting what I do and giving the day one more chance.

“Pulso” is a reminder that creation is also discipline: repeating, adjusting and trying again and again. It reflects the most human side of the artistic process, where perseverance carries more weight than inspiration.

The track is built around a firm and immersive rhythmic pattern, driven by a deep bass that symbolizes that inner heartbeat pushing you forward. Hypnotic and evolving textures guide the journey, reinforcing the feeling of internal motion and determination.

Artist: Trezce
Label: Rodcode
Catalog number: RODE011
Style: Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Release date: December 11, 2025
