Presenting: ANIMA #004 - Hekato

We are thrilled to announce… Hekato is officially joining the ANIMA family as a Resident ~

Always moving with elegance and grace, Hekato is an artist who's been present on the scene since 2019. As a co-founder of the rising Całość label and collective, she has established herself as one of Poland's most recognizable talents and rapidly growing artists. With a series of outstanding performances in the country, she caught our eyes, and captivated our ears; thus becoming a frequent guest in Berlin - Visiting venues such as About Blank, Else, and Tresor in the last year.

Hekato has been involved in music and art since childhood. She learned folk singing and dancing as a child, and was also drawn towards painting. Julia is originally from Rybnik, but now lives in Wroclaw, where she is developing her musical career. Initially fascinated by deep techno, she began to lean towards faster sounds as time passed, even incorporating trance accents into her sets. Her performances are devoid of compromise, and she prioritizes quality and originality - which makes her an exceptional fit at ANIMA.

Despite her strong onstage personality, Hekato is an introverted soul who expresses her emotions through music, while taking listeners on a deep sonic journey.  

We cannot wait to share her sound with you ~

To celebrate the union, Hekato has recorded podcast #004 for us - Full of her uncompromising sound and relentlessly beautiful spirit.

You can find the podcast link below, and also on Soundcloud. If you want to catch her live, she will be joined by two other ANIMA residents at MUENZE on New Years Even in Berlin, and also a resident showcase at Tresor’s New Faces on Valentine’s day 2024  ~

Welcome to the family, Hekato 💜

The recording of my closing set performed at the dungeons of @tresorberlin

Sept x Tresor, Berlin [10.08.2024] - closing set

Opening Robus at @rso_berlin is one of my favorite slots. The room fills quickly with curiosity and energy, a space to shape a full fantasy journey, from ambience through broken experimental beats, building up to driving techno and even a peak. I’d say this particular opening was one of the top highlights of 2024 for me.

A warm thank you to @gegenberlin, the dancers, and the producers who brought this journey to life —>

Japan’s Risa Taniguchi returns to Chris Liebing's CLR. The ‘Break It’ two-tracker marks her fourth appearance on the label.

Tokyo’s Risa Taniguchi returns to Chris Liebing’s CLR with the ‘Break It’ EP 29th August 2025. The two-tracker follows her previous outings on the label, 2024’s ‘Wakes From Coma’ and ‘So Loud’, which earned support from Dave Clarke, Kelly Lee Owens, and Luke Slater, and 2022’s ‘Acid Flesh’, in collaboration with Black Asteroid.

Title track ‘Break It’ sees Kneaded Pains, Second State, Mind Medizin, and core CLR artist Risa Taniguchi open with high-intensity built around pounding kicks and a searing synth stab. The tension is palpable as icy hats and bold low-end drive forward beneath evocative spoken vocals culminating in a dark, strobe-lit roller primed to lock in peak-time floors. There’s no respite with ‘Give Me Up’, a tense and relentless follow-up laced with razor-sharp percussion, unresolved loops, and a monstrous, rumbling bottom end. It’s precision-tooled Techno, designed to hit hard, both physically and mentally.

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 The Southern, and Klint.

Risa Taniguchi ‘Break It’ arrives on CLR on August 29th.

The Southern returns to Chris Liebing’s CLR. The ‘Evrything’ EP marks the Italian artist’s fifth release for the label.

Italy’s The Southern comes back to Chris Liebing’s CLR with the ‘Evrything’ EP, marking his fifth release for the label, set to arrive 26th September 2025. Starting with the title track, The Southern incorporates grainy, low-slung drum loops with a repeating vocal. ‘Evrything’ evokes dystopian hypnotism, its low-end pulsing like a heartbeat as its kick drum hammers through the distortion. ‘Circle of Life’, a speedy dub-infused cut that races along its swirling synthlines, follows, breaking away from the darkness to provide a moment of pure dancefloor euphoria. 

Rawthing. label boss The Southern’s high-grade techno has gained support from industry heavyweights like Robert Hood, Ben Sims, and Amelie Lens on impressive imprints such as Truncate, On Edge Society, Kneaded Pains, and, of course, CLR, on which he has become one of the leading label artists.
