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.

One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label owner, King of Ibiza – you name it, Carl's been there and done it, never losing sight of his passions – playing music, breaking tunes.

This Never Happened is a record and event series created and curated by Lane 8.

Experience the moment. Don’t record it. This Never Happened.

«A perfect balance between energy & melody»: this is how Italian trance DJ Marco PM describes his style. Through his successful mixes series, he explores all the infinite and beautiful shades of trance and progressive music.
Listening to trance since 2002, Marco PM has been showing his true and deep love for both DJing and trance music since 2004, when he released the first installments of his fortunate digital mixes series.
Popularity and appreciation from the listeners all over the world has become stronger year after year.
From 2005 till 2007 his sets aired on the Italian national radio m2o.
Since 2008, Marco PM’s mixes have been aired on the trance stations of the most famous electronic music webradio: DI.FM (formerly Digitally Imported).
While "Voices from Heaven" and "Nocte Borealis" series enclose the finest vocal trance and progressive tunes out there, Marco PM shows his top-notch selection and mixing skills on the two successful, highly-acclaimed series "Santorini Waves" and "Dream Melodies". 
Natural complement of a sunny beach session, every volume of "Santorini Waves" is a unique journey through chillin’ balearic atmosphere, progressive house sounds and trance vibes. 
"Dream Melodies" brings trance to an upper level: the combination of pumping beats, heart-touching melodies and true emotional uplifters gives to the real trance lover a complete experience from beginning to end.
In 2016 Marco launched his new side alias Pax Meyzen, reserved for his more progressive, clubbing-oriented sets. The new alias came along with three brand new mixes series: "Purple Mansion", dedicated to the most melodic progressive, dubstep and big room house; "White Mansion", with its powerful big-room, mainstage tunes; "Blue Mansion", a unique fusion of psy-trance and hard trance. Three dancefloor destroyers series, all distinguished by Marco's top-notch selections!
