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.

NYC Based DJ playing AfroTechSoul, Soulful House, Afro House and Minimal Music.

Born with Jazz and Reggae in her ear and Funk in her heart. It’s a logical progression that DJ Zion would evolve into musical landscape artistry. She began her quest of creative journeys at a young age while studying vocals and violin at a New York City Public school in the heart of Hip Hop’s founding backyard, Jamaica, Queens. Her love of dance has inspired her hands behind the wheels of steel to transform her musical soul and self-expression to a whole new level. DJ Zion is a House Music DJ playing AfroTechSoul. A sonic melting pot of Soulful, Afro, Global Soul, Minimal and Tech grooves. NY and NJ based. Playing music on stages large and small actively since 2014.  Founder of Yemoja SOL the internationally acclaimed podcast a musical diary of love and emotion since 2011. This journey spreads the LOVE of house music from a dancer turned DJ. Zion has shared the stage in NY/NJ with such legends as Tony Humphries, Timmy Regisford, ANANE, and Hector Romero. She has graced the stage at home and abroad with countless keepers of the craft Jihad Muhammad, Celeste Alexander, Coflo, Mark Francis, DJ Beloved, Naeem Johnson, Mikki Afflick, and Mark Lewis. She has also performed internationally in London’s Club - Alibi at ESCO and Afro Soulfest 2023 St. Lucia with Ian Friday and Herb Martin and AfroSoulFest 2024 Curacao with DJ Sres, Tyrone Francis, Duane Powell and Steve Maxwell.  

In addition she is a trained dancer, and a High School Culinary Arts Instructor for over 28 years. She has imparted her love of music into her work with children, in collaboration with SunDog Theatre.  She taught Music Appreciation to high school students for 11 years. The program exposed students to Western Classical music, as well as, music of the African Diaspora. The program won numerous grants and was supported by various Arts organizations in the state. 

Her love for house music began when local Harlem DJ’s travelled to the Catskills and spent the summer at “camp” which she attended for seven summers in her youth. When she wasn’t on her skates, there was definitely a wooden dance floor she was on from NYC to London. A chance entry into the famed Garage nightclub at the age of 16 would inspire her to dance and travel the world searching for rhythms and dance floors to groove.

Her metamorphosis from singer, dancer, actor, chef, photographer, to DJ is an evolution of a journey that is predetermined and colorful in it’s voyage. As an underground artist she is well sought after and yearns to move a dance floor near you. For the love of Dance, for the love of House…L.O.V.E.

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams

"What occurs in the world is that everyone who is born, is born, in some manner of speaking, a poet, the creator of something that did not exist in the world before, till they were born. It is entirely individual.
Man is not born to work, Man is born to create, to be that poet at random. And give to the world his own particular message, to realize the work that can be done and because he is unique, his work will be the only one of the kind in the world." - Agostinho da Silva
