CLR Podcast 144 – Truncate It´s Monday the 28th of November and we welcome Truncate from Los Angeles on the CLR Podcast.

Apart from his busy dj and production schedule, he is also part of the Droid Behavior crew, who are organizing the most happening techno parties in and around LA. Standing strong at the centre of the West Coast techno community since nearly a decade, they are considered almost solely responsible for LA´s now thriving techno scene.

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:26:58 +0100

CLR Podcast 143 – Angel Costa It is Monday the 21st of November and we welcome Angel Costa for the first time on the CLR Podcast, with a special two hours set from one of his recent gigs. Angel started his career in the early 90s on the Spanish island of Mallorca, where he was born and raised. From his early beginnings on, when he was playing different musical styles including house and black music in various local clubs, he always used to take risks and tried to make people listen to new sounds. In the 2000s Angel was finally and completely turned onto techno and has been busy playing countless gigs on Mallorca and on the mainland of Spain ever since. A gig at the famous Sonar festival in Barcelona inspired him to start producing music and to found his own label REZ. He is currently busy producing and releasing his own music on REZ and on several international labels. Angel is and has always been a massive driving force in the development of Mallorca´s techno scene and is regularly hosting nights at the “Gothic” and the “Modular”, two renowned local clubs. He has become a referee for electronic music on the Balearic islands and Chris Liebing considers him one of the best, if not the best Spanish dj.

CLR Podcast | 140 | Joseph Capriati

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:20:53 +0100

CLR Podcast 140 - Joseph Capriati It is the 31st of October and CLR welcomes Joseph Capriati back on the CLR Podcast. The career of the young Neapolitan dj/producer who started to dj at the tender age of 11 has been moving forward at an unrelenting pace since he made his production debut in 2007 and he has often been considered one of the brightest new stars in techno. Since the release of his remixes of Adam Beyer's seminal 'Remainings III' in 2010, his fans have been spoilt with a steady flow of landmark productions including the release of his debut album 'Save My Soul' on home town label Analytic Trail; his chart topping remix of Joey Beltram's 'Slice' reissue; the marathon seven-track 'Gashouder' EP for Drumcode; and a debut on Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 label via Joseph's 'Wope' collaboration with Paco Osuna. Following his first high profile gig at Naples's infamous 5000 capacity Golden Gate venue in October 2007, Joseph has not looked back; spreading his wings and travelling all over the globe. The versatility and insightfulness that characterizes his dj sets enables him to connect with crowds across Europe, South America, Asia, North America and South Africa. Today, at the age of 23 he maintains a close relationship to some of the most important techno labels such as CLR and Drumcode and can be heard on several of those label´s events in the near future.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:15:49 +0200

CLR Podcast 138 - James Ruskin It´s Monday October 17th and we have UK techno legend James Ruskin back on the CLR Podcast. James is one of the most demanded and most restless techno djs of our time. His musical history and deep knowledge of underground electronic music can be traced back to mid-80s electro and hip-hop. When Detroit techno emerged in the UK in the beginning of the 90s he bought all the key records and soon after started his successful dj career. After building his first studio with long time friend Richard Polson, with whom he also started producing music under the name Outline and with whom he founded the label Blueprint in 1996, he released his first solo album Further Design in 1998. Last year he released his fourth solo album by the name of The Dash, which is considered to be his best long player to date. He is currently producing, remixing and releasing music under his own name as well as together with artists such as Regis (under the project name O/V/R) or with Mark Broom as The Fear Ratio. (Their first album Light Box will be released on Blueprint on November 17th.) You can find tracks of both of these projects in the present podcast, so please enjoy the CLR Podcast 138 with James Ruskin, one of the key figures and leading lights in UK techno.

CLR Podcast 137 - Emptyset It is October 10th and Emptyset is back on the CLR Podcast. Punctual for the release of their new single Avichi (CLR 054), the guys from Bristol have recorded another one of their truly outstanding sets. To give you some background information and an idea of what you have to expect, please read their short bio hereafter: Emptyset is a Bristol based production duo formed in 2005 by James Ginzburg, boss of the Multiverse network of labels and curator and electronic artist Paul Purgas. The project investigates the sonic potential of experimental bass driven music, reflecting upon the legacy of dub, techno and sound system culture whilst integrating aspects of feedback, minimalism and spatial recording. Their collective agenda has been exploring electronic music's diverse influences and compiling them to a studio template focused on tight production and detailed design. Following their self-titled debut long-player released in 2009, they have worked on a collaborative release with Underground Resistance vocalist Cornelius Harris (Altogether Lost - CLR 0047) and recently completed their follow up album Demiurge release in May 2011. The duo are currently developing an experimental record magnifying the unplanned and unexpected textures that emerge from amplified sound, being recorded live in an abandoned mansion outside Bristol.

CLR Podcast | 133 | Robert Hood

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:52:45 +0200

CLR Podcast 133 – Robert Hood It´s Monday the 12th of September and we are welcoming none other than Robert Hood for the first time on the CLR Podcast. Exclusively for this purpose, the legendary American dj and producer has put together a unique mix, which includes a variety of styles, including Disco, Newschool-, Oldschool-Techno, Acid and House. It is needless to say that CLR is thrilled to present you this amazing mix by one of the founding fathers of Detroit- and Minimal-Techno. (Short bio hereafter.) Robert Hood needs little introduction. Founding member of the legendary group Underground Resistance including X-101, X-102 & X-103 with Mad Mike Banks & Jeff Mills. His seminal works on Jeff Mill's Axis as H&M, and his very own M-Plant imprint paved the way for a wave of stripped-down dancefloor minimalism that directed much of techno's path throughout the late 90's and still to this day. Robert has also recorded for labels such as Metroplex, Peacefrog and Music Man.

In the beginning of the podcast, before the set even starts, Chris Liebing interviews ROD and gets some very interesting and insightful answers.

CLR Podcast | 131 | Lucy

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 11:46:16 +0200

CLR Podcast 131 - Lucy It´s the 29th of August and CLR presents you a very special podcast by none other than Stroboscopic Artefacts founder, innovative dj / producer and much demanded remix artist Lucy. In the beginning of the podcast Chris Liebing interviews Lucy and the result is an inspiring, highly informative and insightful interview of 40 minutes duration. After that, the podcast continues with an extended set, which Lucy recorded in one shot, especially for this purpose. It starts of with a preview of Xhin´s upcoming album and includes the Lucy remix of Tommy Four Seven´s “Talus”, as well as an unreleased original track by Lucy. Enough said about this CLR Podcast 131, as it perfectly speaks for itself. Read more about Lucy: Lucy Biography Lucy: producer, DJ, founder of Stroboscopic Artefacts. That’s probably how you know him. But there’s also Luca Mortellaro, a published author, experimental sound designer, and the man behind the Lucy moniker. There’s no doubt that the two are linked, but it’s certainly the hidden facets of Luca Mortellaro that are responsible for the dynamic output of Lucy. In 2005 Lucy left his native Italy for Paris. In search of romance? Perhaps. The fact that the very first demo he ever sent was noticed by James Holden and that he’s now releasing on Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver, makes Lucy’s story more than romantic, it’s fit for the silver screen. As he delved deeper into electronic music Lucy made the essential move from Paris to Berlin. It was here he launched record label Stroboscopic Artefacts a platform that illuminates pioneering electronic music. Under Lucy’s careful curation Stroboscopic Artefacts has garnered international attention and emerged as one of the most exciting labels in the scene. Lucy’s DJ sets are techno layered with deep dub and textured with lucid IDM. Never one to shy away from ripping into the peak time and equally in his element playing the ecstatic afterhours, elegance is the foundation of his approach. He manages to refuse the obvious and yet satisfies dancefloors’ appetites for the unexpected. A quick listen to his CLR podcast, Resident Advisor mix or the Modyfier process will attest to one thing: his elusive approach is too angular for genres and pigeon holes. It’s this quality that’s seen him grace the decks at Berghain, Fabric, New York’s Oktave party and Mexico’s Bar America. With a host of EPs and remixes released and forthcoming on the most influential labels such as Prologue, Mote Evolver and CLR, looking towards the future is exciting. Particularly for Stroboscopic Artefacts, whose first full length release is Lucy’s debut album: “Wordplay For Working Bees”.

CLR Podcast | 128 | Dadup

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:31:04 +0200

CLR Podcast 128 / Dadub This week CLR presents you a live recording by the duo Dadub, who appear on the CLR Podcast for the first time. Based on Lucy´s label Stroboscopic Artefacts, they stand for an extraordinary and exiting approach to Techno, heavily inspired by their love of Dub music. This set is recorded live at the Melt! festival in Germany. It exclusively consists of current Dadub tracks and even features an extract of their latest single “Monad VIII”, which has been released on Stroboscopic Artefacts only a few days ago on August 4th. Please enjoy this haunting live set and please carry on reading below, for more information on the Berlin-based Dub-Techno innovators from Italy. Also note that CLR is celebrating its 11th anniversary with a very special offer, to be found right here: http://www.clr.net/data.pl?release=CLR044B The much praised CLR 044 release by Stroboscopic Artefacts founder Lucy and production partner Xhin, all week long for only 1,11 €. Dadub is a meeting of two minds, Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti, a duo whose output is underpinned by a mutual curiosity. The result? Startling electronic music productions, one of the best live acts in the scene and the innovative Artefacts Mastering studio. Twinned by a fascination of process, and a love of Lee Scratch Perry's mix board experiments, they take dub and push it into the deepest corners of techno and out to the ambient fringes. Frustrated by identikit sounds in electronic music they set about pouring their technical knowledge together in search of innovation. They describe their approach in the studio as 'like making scent'. Dadub take sound and process it to extract depth and expose human warmth. With this studio outlook it was natural for Dadub to move into mastering. They delved in and Artefacts Mastering emerged: mastering that involves no presets and a policy of adjusting every track entirely from scratch. It's exactly this type of discipline, their use of open strategies instead of formulas that also makes Dadub so dynamic live. Live they layer dubbing and synthesis, they take Dadub material and deconstruct or reconstruct it spontaneously. Their sets are seriously deep and have been showcased internationally at Barcelona's Sonar festival, Germany's Melt! festival and in clubs from Berlin to Moscow.

CLR Podcast | 127 | Marcel Dettmann

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:27:25 +0200

CLR Podcast 127 - Marcel Dettmann Marcel Dettmann is back on the CLR Podcast with another one of his distinctive and thrilling Techno sets. The Berlin-born, widely known and much respected DJ / producer will play at the CLR hosted Techno tent on the Solar Weekend Festival on upcoming Sunday, August 7th in the Netherlands, together with a great line-up of label artists and guests. And as a special 11th anniversary treat, CLR offers you the entire Traversable Wormhole remix package of CLR35, including Marcel Dettmann´s remix - all week long for only 1,11 € at the CLR web-shop. If you want to read more about this intriguing artist, please continue below. Ruff, rugged and raw. Mentioning Marcel Dettmann as well as his feeling for and vision of electronic music, his way of dealing with it, is impossible without these attributes. Whether you take his DJ sets (Marcel has been made a resident DJ at the old Ostgut and also at Berghain from the very start), Dettmann’s productions for the self-conducted MDR label, his remixes for the likes of Fever Ray, Junior Boys, Modeselektor as well as Scuba, or if nothing else his debut long player for Ostgut Ton into account, all the various contrasts and distinctions that come with it are manifested in these qualities. Techno as Marcel Dettmann defines it, is neither a movement without history nor wistful nostalgia. In the hands of the Berliner, the well-known game of hi-hats, bass lines and kick drums draws its tension and momentum from a historically grown tradition and the conscious decision to break the rules. Reformation and solid construction outplays the use of any gimmicks. Dettmann pours Detroit’s oil into European engines, puts British bass music under the control of Chicago’s very own Jack, cuts classics with abstract nuances and connects yesterday with tomorrow and today. In the unrelenting manner of a great DJ, he generates moods and connections that are age- and classless, but never irrelevant or tasteless. Marcel Dettmann links up the art of improvisation with careful preparation and finally gives techno some of its often painfully missed serious physical constitution back.

CLR Podcast | 125 | Terence Fixmer

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:19:29 +0200

CLR Podcast 125 / Terence Fixmer Terence Fixmer is back on the CLR Podcast with a very special set, including several previously unreleased original tracks and remixes. Amongst them is his remix of Tommy Four Seven´s “Sevals”, which is physically released today, Monday July 18th 2011. Since the late 90s, Terence Fixmer has been one of the key figures in the French Techno scene and can already look back on four artist albums, as well as numerous releases on some of the most respected labels in the genre. If you want to know more about this exceptional artist, please read his short biography hereafter: BIOGRAPHY Terence Fixmer is one of France’s most illustrated characters of the Techno scene, of which he has been at the forefront for over 10 successful years. Bringing his dark, atmospheric sound to prestigious dance floors that range from Berlin's mecca of Techno to Paris‘ Rex club.  Equally at ease in the club or at a pure techno festival, Terence reached this respected level, without ever succumbing to excessive promotion or subscribing to the mainstream.  Terence Fixmer’s sound, which deftly avoids repetition by developing soundscapes that appeal to the club crowd, whilst still maintaining musical depth and integrity.  Sombre, defined by surging rhythmical structures, Terence’s music appeals as much to dancing feet, as it does to the searching soul. .... He above all preserves an original style, an increasingly experimental, simultaneously ruthless and unrelenting interpretation of modern Techno, instantly recognizable. 2009/2010 : With his distinct music style and personality, Terence caught the attention of label owner Speedy J at a very early stage of the label.  His first EP on Electric Deluxe ‘Machine’ (with Speedy J remix) was released in the beginning of 2009, followed by ‘Electric City’ (with Function & Speedy J remixes) in 2010. ‘Comedy of Menace’ is Terence new Album on Jochem Paap´s (Speedy J) Electric Deluxe label (release date: September 20th 2010). Comedy of Menace’ is Fixmer´s fourth Album. He already released two solo albums on DJ Hell’s Gigolo, the seminal “Muscle Machine” helped create a masterful fusion between old style industrial/EBM music and Techno (“Techno Body Music”) As many will know, Fixmer to this day has a side project Douglas McCarthy the legendary voice of seminal EBM band Nitzer Ebb (The Between The Devil album is a great chunk of dark aggressive Techno tinged industrial). Terence´s third album, “Fiction Fiction” released on his own ‘Planete Rouge’ imprint in 2009 and veered far more towards deep ambience, emotive and cinematic by turns. With ‘Comedy Of Menace’ Terence Fixmer created a true Techno album, with an instantly recognizable pure sound, a deep and dark atmosphere throughout. The album is in many ways hypnotizing and mental, yet keeps the energy and a effectiveness for the dancefloor. As Fixmer explains: “I wanted that people can feel a soul, a story, and the sound of every track to open up the imagination of the listener, creating images in their minds… It´s an art and a passion, my heart is bumping for electronic sounds. I love when the music is really coming from the heart of the machine, when the sound is pure and raw. Comedy of Menace suggests that although they are funny, they are also frightening or menacing in a vague and undefined way. Even as they laugh, the audience are unsettled, ill at ease and uncomfortable. Besides the album release in September, the EP 'Comedy Of Menace pt1.’ will be released with a Planetary Assault System mix. New remixes done for Niederflur, for Traversable Wormhole on Chris Liebing’s CLR and Echologist aka Brendon Moeller will appear in the coming months. On Top, his EP on Tiga’s Turbo will hit in November + a remix done for SEI A, and some music collaboration with Prologue artist to be revealed soon..... 1999/2008: In summary: Two solo albums on Gigolo, DJ Hell’s mythical Munich-based label; the seminal “Muscle Machine” (1999) that single-handedly spearheaded a new style, “Techno Body Music” (a unique combination of modern techno and EBM of the founding fathers from Nitzer Ebb to Front 242); copious maxis on prestigious labels, such as Gigolo, Novamute, Datapunk, Different, Music Man; and remixes for various techno gods, from Sven Väth to Dave Clarke, DJ Hell, Radio Slave…  Releases as well on Dave Clarke´s label White Noise rec. In addition to his solo productions, Terence also founded the duo, “Fixmer / McCarthy” in 2003, along with Nitzer Ebb’s legendary vocalist, Douglas McCarthy. The result of this partnership is two albums that unite the brutality of Techno Body Music and the sensuality of Pop. The duo has performed their energetic live sets at renowned clubs and festivals all across the globe. Tracklist: 1. Untitled / Untitled 2. Alexey Volkov : Playground 3.

CLR Podcast | 124 | Speedy J

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:15:12 +0200

CLR Podcast 124 – Speedy J Dutch dj, live act and producer legend Speedy J is back on the CLR Podcast with a mix he recorded during his performance at this year´s Awakenings Festival in Amsterdam. Chris Liebing actually asked him specifically for a part of this set, as he remembered that it rocked very much. So here is the CLR Podcast 124 with a very special recording by sonic wizard and techno pioneer Speedy. For more information about Jochem George Paap pka Speedy J, please read his profile below: Jochem Paap (the Rotterdam artist owes the nickname Speedy J to his DJ skills) is unanimously considered to be one of the first techno producers to come from the Benelux. Together with people like Laurent Garnier, Aphex Twin and Richie Hawtin he helped raising the genre just after it had escaped the Detroit delivery room. Since the early nineties, Speedy J releases on labels like Plus 8, Warp and Novamute. But while techno develops into a dominating force on many dance floors worldwide, Jochem Paap, after the albums Ginger (1993) and G Spot (1995), turns left and heads for other exciting places. On Public Energy No. 1 (1997) and A Shocking Hobby (2000) the sound wizard exchanges flowing, harmonious techno for a much more complex sound, filled with colliding samples, crackling rhythms and tremendously thrilling turns. After fifteen years of techno Speedy J now has come full circle. But what a wide circle it was, and how fickle the trodden path. Over the years he has collaborated with video-artists, filmmakers and advertisers, made the pioneering DVD Umfeld, an audio-visual, electronic trip, which sets the standard for many composers who want to compose for six speakers in the coming years – remarkably made available as a free download on the internet. But not only that, Speedy J has continuously been pushing the boundaries of electronic & experimental dance music. Blurring the lines between Live performance and Digital Djing, he fuses subversive electronics and peak time techno. Together with his partner in crime Chris Liebing he started using Traktor and other Software technology on 4 laptops with hardware such as Machine Drum and 303’s to create a fully integrated set. Again he is spearheading a way of DJing that is picked up by a lot of other forward thinking electronic artists.

CLR Podcast | 123 | Mike Parker

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:13:05 +0200

CLR Podcast 123 – Mike Parker It´s the Fourth of July, the Independence Day of the United States, and CLR participates in the celebration by welcoming a very interesting artist from the United States for the first time on the podcast. Mike Parker from Buffalo, New York is a producer, dj, label owner, as well as an artist and art teacher. Earlier in his musical career he produced experimental / noise music and dark techno, at one point as part of P. Children and then as part of Trybet. Although he is obviously a busy man in his American home, he still finds time to play internationally and can for example be heard on October 8th at the Berghain club in Berlin, a date we highly recommend. As a producer he has been very productive since a long time, and apart from the releases on his own label Geophone, he has had much respected releases on Prologue, Aquaplano and on various other labels. Most of his production work is created live in the studio, and one of his recent works, a remix of Marcel Fengler´s “Thwack” will be released on Mote Evolver later this summer. Chris Liebing and CLR are very pleased to have Mike Parker for the first time on the podcast and hope you enjoy his all vinyl dj mix.

Mon, 30 May 2011 10:37:37 +0200

Los Angeles born and bred, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas were raised in the ’80s on a steady diet of Latin freestyle, electro, and new wave that pervaded their urban environment. Their father also exposed them to cutting edge progressive acts Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, planting early seeds for aural exploration. By the mid ’90s they were sampling LA’s underground club scene and heavily researching electronic music’s roots. After years of influence they began to express their musical vision through their own recordings and performances. Vidal and Vangelis eventually found common ground with producer / performer Drumcell, and in 2002 they formed the Droid Behavior event production group and record label out of frustration with the city’s lack of knowledge, acceptance, and understanding for Midwest-bred techno and house music and their European counterparts. As producers Vangelis and Vidal have released and licensed original music and remixes under various aliases (most notably Acid Circus and Raíz) on the Droid Recordings imprint as well as respected labels Historia y Violencia, Tora Tora Tora, DJMag, Music Man, Resident Advisor, Enemy Rec, Gynoid, Reloading, Micro.Fon and Timefog. Their music has been charted, played and supported by Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, DVS1, Levon Vincent, Jonas Kopp, etc. Their intense and inspiring performances have placed them alongside major players Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Derrick May, Dan Bell, Surgeon, Sandwell District, Robag, Paco Osuna, Pan Pot, Marco Carola, Detroit Grand Pubahs, and Ostgut residents at undergrounds, festivals, after hours, and club nights all over the Americas, and Europe including Berghain in Berlin. The members or Raiz not only produce for Droid recordings but also help manage the label as well over see all event production, bookings, the droid podcast, and blog site. Tracklisting: 01.

CLR Podcast | 112 | Brian Sanhaji (Live)

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 15:22:37 +0200

When Brian the young innovator, came across a music program on a friend´s Amiga 500, the desire to produce his own sound started to grow within. In the beginning he experimented with Hip Hop beats, but triggered by a “The Prodigy” gig he started focusing more and more on Techno. As much as for many of his contemporaries in the nineties, the legendary “Omen” club in Frankfurt served as a source of inspiration for him. His first two records under the pseudonym “Relic” were released on the label “Triebtäter” in 2000 and 2001. After this he took the next step and founded his own label “Enable Recordings”, on which he presents artists like “The Advent” or Andre Walter, next to his own productions. Little by little, Brian got the opportunity to release on further labels as well, for instance “Punkt Music” or “Definition Records”. At the same time he produced the project “Citizen Art” together with the artist ”Cess”, and amongst others released a remix for “The Horrorist” on “Things To Come”. But ultimately they were his own releases that turned him into a much requested live act. In the course of his transfer to CLR Booking in 2005, his booking schedule increased from the main floor of “Nature One”, to the “Detroit Electronic Music Festival” in the States to his preliminary peak at “Spinclub” / Ibiza. Next to his well-established label “Enable Recordings”, he founded another imprint called “Sonata Music” in the beginning of 2008. Although it was planned as a digital only label, he started releasing the tracks on vinyl as well, due to the big success. In October 2008, the album prerelease single “Cortosis” came out, together with a remix by Chris Liebing. In November 2008, the long awaited first Studio album “Stereotype” was finally released on his all-time favorite Techno label CLR. “A stylistically versatile, entirely club oriented record with traces of Minimal, House and Dub, always true to its Techno origins.” When Brian is not touring as a live act, or producing new tracks and remixes, he is also working as highly successful mastering technician with clients like CLR and Cocoon Recordings.

After studying Music Technology in London, Tommy moved to Berlin and has been steadily building his catalogue of strong, moody and hypnotic tracks such as his 2009 hit, 'Surma' on Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe and more recently, 'Sor' on CLR, not forgetting the before mysterious 'Bauhaus' project with Chris Liebing. Tommy’s approach to music is unlike a musician. Instead, he prefers to sound design, recording and sculpting elements into deep engaging atmospheres.

CLR Podcast | 106 | Joel Mull

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:28:00 +0100

Joel Mull is a rare breed amongst electronic music producers. Classically trained on the piano from a young age, Joel’s musical understanding goes beyond the traditional primal dancefloor dynamics often associated with techno. Having been bitten by the techno bug before he left school, his career in music began in 1993, and has been moving upwards ever-since, projecting his soulful slant on the techno blueprint and in the process providing the more musical, emotive ying to the colder, percussive yang of traditional techno. As such Joel occupies a special place within the scene, respected for not just his forward-thinking musical output and long, winding sets of deep and melodic tones but also for being a hard-working professional who has spent his time well, progressively working his way up the techno ladder with a consistent, clearly defined musical style.

CLR Podcast | 103 | Alex Bau

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:25:03 +0100

today’s electronic dance music. His versatile and effective production technique has gained him a long list of releases on various renowned labels. There are not many djs of this type. Djs who believed in Techno from the first minute, djs who experienced Techno from the very beginning, djs who made Techno their own thing. Djs who found their own style, even more, who developed it over the years, djs who´s name is the expression for a specific sound. Alex Bau is one of them. Why focusing on just one style of music? Why only minimal sounds? Why only Techno? Why? If you can have it all… There has been a time before Techno for Alex Bau. Thousands of records in his collection, different styles, different music, for sure something that leaves its marks, no doubt about it. Still he is doing Depeche Mode-Nights from time to time, just for fun, and his activities on Techno doesn`t really suffer from that, not at all! With his 5 or even more hours sets at his first resident club the „Libella“ in his south-east-bavarian home-area, where for example also DJ Hell started his career back in the 80ies, he achieved the reputation as somebody who is totally aware of what he is doing, totally dedicated to it and also totally loving it. He had his own radio show for over 2 years on a local radio station, still so far the only Techno show in this area. After countless gigs at local clubs, he also started to play at other places all over the planet and continues doing so. Techno can do a lot, if you let it do so. That`s the credo. His credo. tracklist: 01. Hans Bouffmyhre - Good Bye Anxiety (Harthouse) 02. Alan Fitzpatrick - A Small Decline (Mark Broom Remix) (Drumcode) 03.

CLR Podcast | 102 | Tim Xavier

Mon, 07 Feb 2011 11:46:57 +0100

Tim Xavier's passion for music has kept him on the forefront of techno since his innovative releases on Blueline in Chicago a decade ago. His career began in Houston in the 90s, and then on to Chicago, Brooklyn and now Berlin, where he has resided since 2007. He is a veteran to the industry; and his dark, edgy production style has remained uncompromised through the ever changing genres of techno and house. He is also the owner and chief engineer at Manmade Mastering in Berlin; and this sleepy-eyed coffee addict defines cool as he cuts master plates for many respected record labels. Tim’s music has been charted and played by leading artists around the world, and he has worked with many labels such as Cocoon, Minus, Sci-Tec, Podium, Timefog, Little Helpers, Sleaze, Droid Behavior and many more. He is also the owner of his own imprint, LTD400, which encompasses his irresistible combination of quirk, funk, space and drive. Tim spray-paints his signature icon on 400 sleeves of each release, a process that he says connects him more closely to his music and audience. He also works with partner Camea on her imprint Clink Recordings, with Tony Rohr as the ‘Afternoon Coffee Boys’. On Stage, Tim’s current performances include a mixture of DJing, Live and Effects manipulation, carrying out his visionas he sees fit. He creates a unique experience with his maximal sound quality and music selection, in which he combines loops and pieces from his own production. He is regularly on tour and performing across the globe, capturing his audiences with his signature sound. Tim's relentless devotion to providing cutting edge audio continues to keep him on the forefront of innovative dance music, and as he continues to grow it is apparent that we have still yet to see the best of his work. this mix was recorded live at womb club tokyo, japan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdRi4OAn770&feature=player_embedded

Chris Liebing is a Techno pioneer, dj, producer, CLR podcast host, radio host and the driving force behind CLR. He has been one of the first djs who fully embraced the digital age of music. Since then he has never stopped working on his dj and production setup’s and has finally reached a point of complete satisfaction with his technical and artistic possibilities. 2009 was a year of many changes for CLR. Chris Liebing and his team celebrated the 10th anniversary of CLR, restructured the label, opened an office in Berlin and celebrated many great parties on Chris´ club- and festival gigs. The residency at the BE nights at Space / Ibiza became a big success. In the beginning of the year, Chris had begun with the production of the weekly CLR podcast, which by now counts more than 250.000 monthly listeners. He officially renamed CLR into CREATE LEARN REALIZE (as this is what he did most of his life) and by doing so he finally got rid of his ego in the label name. 2010 CLR started off with a new distribution by Word And Sound. The first common project was the 10 Years CLR Compilation with 10 exclusive tracks by some of the finest techno producers of our time. Chris and his team is looking forward for all upcoming projects in 2011...

CLR Podcast | 097 | Sebrok

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 13:59:14 +0100

Given what a vibrant and dense electronic music scene Berlin has, it's not easy to make yourself stand out from the crowd as a producer and to break out of the city's insular musical bubble. But such widescreen, mind-bending and sophisticated techno as that of local hotshot Sebrok was never going to go unnoticed on a wider scale. Steadily rising through the ranks of the techno fraternity, Sebrok's ascent began in 2004 when he founded his own label PASO Music with fellow Teutonic talent Marc Miroir. He soon found his records getting love from electronic royalty such as Laurent Garnier, DJ Hell and Sven Väth, and as techno gradually came back into favour with crowds around the world over the next few years, his increasingly impressive productions started to pop up in more and more high profile places. David Squillace's MiniSketch label, Dubfire's scene-leading Sci+Tec, Nic Fanciulli's Global Underground compilation – all undoubted hallmarks of quality and cool. After years of grinding away and a risking everything (he ditched his successful job at MTV Networks to work on his creative passions) his gamble has quite clearly paid off. Alongside his role as one of the founders of hugely successful fashion label German Garment, he is widely recognised as one of the world's most talented up and coming techno producers. Flying in the face of dumb, thoughtless dancefloor fodder, his tracks are constructed with intricate technical trickery, making your brain do aural double-takes as his carefully crafted grooves thump against your bones. It's music that ebbs and flows, grows and pulsates throughout its course and rewards those who give it their full time and attention. The proof is in the pudding though, as they say, and Sebrok will soon serve up his just desserts in the form of his debut album The Pain. “I always wanted to do an album” he explains, “but during my time at MTV, it was impossible to think about spending so much time making music. But as soon as i quit, the idea popped up again and I started working on it, which took me now all in all over a year.” He'll be releasing it on his beloved PASO Music, with 14 tracks spread thick over two discs, displaying both his production and remix skills – from hard-hitting thumpers to Balearic-tinged ethereal moments and even a daring fusion of techno and indie with German outfit Northern Lite. His latest PASO 12” comes with remixes from the hugely respected Steve Lawler and Mobilee Mastermind Anja Schneider, while his recent Ideal Audio is going down a storm with everyone from Josh Wink to Marc Romboy to Laurent Garnier.

CLR Podcast | 094 | Kyle Geiger

Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:14:03 +0100

Hailing from a region known for its basketball and corn, the emergence of an artist from Indiana such as Kyle Geiger is marked as seldom at best. Kyle Geiger's quick rise in the international dance scene is due to both his production prowess, and his explosive decks and effects DJ sets that bridge the divide between techno and minimal. Kyle is not a producer first, DJ second, but chooses to look at both aspects of DJ and production as a whole; one is not complete without the other. Originally inspired by the harder, percussive stylings of late 90's Swedish techno featured on seminal labels like Drumcode and Code Red, Kyle has witnessed the evolution of the genre as it morphed into a more accessible, groove based sound. Still loving the energy and power of the earlier phases of techno while embracing the genre's changes, Kyle has refined his productions and DJ sets into what very well may be a new breed of soundscapes that pushes things forward for the next generation of techno to come. With highly regarded releases on Drumcode, MB Elektronics, and Perc Trax, as well as remixes for Trapez, Droid, Renovatio, plus having his tracks played by all the heavy hitters, the future is proving to be a very promising place for Kyle Geiger as he continues to take his widely recognized DJ set around the world and to the next level.

CLR Podcast | 093 | Surgeon

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:12:04 +0100

Surgeon, real name Anthony Child, has been at the forefront of UK techno since the 1995. His debut EP is regarded by many as seminal, launching his career along with several early Downwards releases, causing a ripple of excitement through the techno cognoscenti of the time. Surgeon has been prolific since, with three albums on Tresor and numerous Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension EPs. “Over the course of his career, the Birmingham resident has perfected a unique and uncommonly effective production style. His is a tough techno sound with an industrial murk about it but also plenty of funk, swing and a sophisticated sense of dub-space learned in part from his Chain Reaction contemporaries in Berlin. Proving that hard can also be smart, sensuous and danceable, the influence of Surgeon on the 2010-ruling Ostgut/Berghain sound – DJs/producers like Marcel Dettmann, Shed et al – is substantial”. (Fact Magazine) Further evidence of these multi-functional production skills can be seen on Surgeon's impressive remix CV, working with the biggest names in techno (Dave Clarke, Luke Slater/PAS, Green Velvet, Hardfloor, the Black Dog etc), Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Glasgow post-rock outfit Mogwai, old masters Faust and Coil, and most recently, artists such Moderat, Shed, Traversable Wormhole and Scuba. Recently dubbed by Fact magazine as “arguably the finest techno DJ in the world”, Surgeon is also naturally one of the most in-demand, with recent mixes for Warp and Fabric and a schedule spread across Europe, U.S.A and Japan. He has played every key club/event/festival going; helped pioneer Birmingham’s House of God; and, held a 3 year residency at Tresor (Berlin) during its all powerful 1990s peak. Surgeon continues to operate with Ben Sims as Frequency 7, whilst he was also one half of the much loved British Murder Boys (with Regis of Sandwell District). Contemporary Surgeon sets are notable for experimentation with new DJ technologies embracing cutting edge hardware and software solutions, increasingly blurring the line between a DJ set and a live performance. Surgeon is a selector of some skill and one of the most inventive, intuitive users of Ableton out there. Using techno as a vehicle to carry his artistic message, he also mixes up everything from contemporary bass music/dubstep to Rephlex-esque electronica to create a coherent and intense whole.

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 16:02:05 +0100

Dark, raw and sweaty environments are where you’re most likely to find Tommy Four Seven, filling the void between house and techno since 2005. Tommy’s been steadily building his catalogue of strong, moody and hypnotic dancefloor destroyers such as early hits on Parisian label, Kill Brique and recent recordings for Wolfskuil Records, Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe and Chris Liebing’s CLR, as well as remixes for the likes of Josh Wink and Darko Esser. Tommy’s approach to music is unlike a musician. Instead, Tommy prefers to sound design, recording and sculpting elements into deep engaging atmospheres. It’s this production ethos Tommy also applies in the club, morphing from tech-house, to the darker realms of techno. “I always keep the foundations deep and hypnotic, a vibe I feel that creates more of a connection.” Giving his own contribution to techno, in 2008 Tommy launched deep techno imprint, Shooting Elvis. Gathering artists from Mark Broom to Remute, to Sebastian Roya to James Kronier, choosing to release quality rather than quantity, an attitude that has not gone unnoticed with supporters including Ben Klock, Len Faki, Joel Mull and Paco Osuna.

CLR Podcast | 088 | Function

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:00:21 +0100

Function, aka David Sumner, should be a familiar name to anyone who's been paying attention to techno in New York City for the past 15+ years. Heavily influence by the early New York rave scene (Limelight, NASA, Storm, etc), Dave dove into production with a string of releases and collaborations on Damon Wild's seminal Synewave label in the mid-90s. From the late 90s to the early 00s, Function put out many productions on his own label, Infrastructure. In the process he made a strong artistic connection with Regis and Female from the UK, and formed Portion Reform with Regis, releasing a handful of 12"s and an album on the cult, UK Midlands based imprint, Downwards. This connection remains strong to this day. In 2008, Dave moved to Berlin and began to strongly focus on the Sandwell District label, which was undoubtedly one of the breakout labels that year. The label was launched in 2002, and has only put out 15 releases since then, each one well worth owning. In 2010, the techno spotlight is shining brightly on Sumner and Sandwell. He has a residency at Berghain, and appears regularly at other huge clubs around Europe, and from all reports, his performance was the best set at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan this year. And now with Sandwell District being slated to close the main stage at Sonar this June, 2 new groundbreaking V/A Promo 12"s in the pipeline set to come out in May/June 2010, which will precede a full length Sandwell District album and 2 new collaborative projects with Jerome Sydenham for CLR and Ibadan, the future really couldn't be much brighter.

CLR Podcast | 087 | James Ruskin

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:40:39 +0200

James Ruskin is one of the leading lights in UK techno. With a musical history that can be traced back to mid-80s electro and hip-hop, Ruskin brings a long background and deep knowledge of underground electronic music to his productions and DJing. When Detroit techno emerged in the UK at the start of the 90s, Ruskin bought all the key records and started to DJ soon afterwards but quickly realised that he needed to make how own music to gain recognition. Subsequently, Ruskin and long-time friend Richard Polson set up a studio together and, by 1996, had also launched a label, Blueprint (a sub-label, Coda, followed in 2000). Originally working together as Outline, Polson and Ruskin’s first searing interpretations of minimalism formed part of a new wave of UK techno producers alongside Birmingham’s Surgeon and Regis, and London’s Oliver Ho. By 1998, having released a number of solo EPs and collaborative works with Polson, Ruskin put out his debut album, ‘Further Design’ on Blueprint. ‘Design’, along with the rest of his work on Blueprint, mean't that in a short space of time Ruskin became one of the World’s most in-demand techno DJs. One of the clubs that James started to play in most regularly was Berlin’s Tresor, where he first performed at his friend Surgeon’s residency. Through this connection, Ruskin was asked to deliver his second album for the label of the same name. 2000’s ‘Point 2’ saw Ruskin deliver chilling ambience, ferocious, dense club tracks, the Detroit funk of ‘Connected’ and the symphonic strings of ‘Detached’. A more rounded affair than his debut long-played, Ruskin quickly followed ‘Point 2’ with ‘Into Submission’ the next year. A denser, brooding but occasionally melodic and emotive affair, it saw the UK producer moving further from his purist roots. James’ most recent album, last year’s ‘The Dash’ was melancholic and melodic, often understated but never lightweight, Ruskin explored with a variety of tempos and beat structures on ‘The Dash’ and its his best long player to date. Against this backdrop, Ruskin has re-launched Blueprint with the first release proper from his new collaborative project, O/V/R, together with Regis aka Karl O’Connor. 01.

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:39:58 +0200

Marc Romboy Music with a certain break dance appeal - reminiscent of old school Chicago dance floor insanity - is Marc Romboy’s true passion. Working in dance music for over a decade, Romboy has co-founded and built internationally respected dance-music labels and projects, never tiring of coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to push the limits of electronic sounds.  In 1994, Romboy and Klaus Derichs founded their own label ‘Le Petit Prince’. The label quickly became one of Germany’s most popularunderground outputs, with Groove magazine charting it as the second most popular label in 1995. It went on to release tracks from Microwave Prince, Emmanuel Top, Thomas P. Heckmann and Phuture until its demise in 2000. Around the same time as he formed Le Petit Prince, Romboy also began djing, frequently playing at the techno parties. Now, Romboy regularly travels around the globe at clubs including The Rex in Paris, The End in London, Watergate and Weekend in Berlin, F.U.S.E. in Brussels, Cocorico in Italy and Cocoon and Monza in Frankfurt. “Basically I love to dj all over the globe because I like the way that everybody understands and lives the same language, the universal language of techno or house music.” Romboy began his second label Systematic in 2004, he also released his debut artist album ‘Gemini’ on the label in 2006 to great critical acclaim. Through both his solo releases and his collaborations, Romboy has also released on labels including Ovum, Simple, Brique Rouge, Superstition, 20:20 Vision and more. A regular collaboration is that with Romboy and Stephan Bodzin, the two have released records together on Systematic, 20:20 Vision and Bodzin’s own imprint Herzblut, with ‘Atlas’ and ‘Callisto’, being two of their biggest releases so far. “All my other collaborations have been done with singers as I love to include the soul caused by the voice in electronic music; it’s definately my style and passion, soulful techno and house.” In june 2008 Romboy released his second artist album on Systematic called ‘Contrast’, produced in cooperation with his friends and studio mates 45 Rocks. In 2009 he wanted to have his focus on playing a lot of different shows around the world, tours in Australia, North America and Europe. They finally launched their own weekly radio show called ‘Systematic Sessions’. Besides this he was happy to have mixed the ‘Essential Mix’ on BBC Radio One in march 2009, a great occasion to represent high quality tech house to a huge audience.” 01. Marc Romboy Vs.

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:55:15 +0200

Perc From his earliest demos to his current position as a key figure in the global techno scene, Perc (aka Ali Wells) has taken the established forms of the music he loves and twisted them into something new and fresh. Building up successful relationships with scene-leading labels such as Drumcode, Ovum, Kompakt and CLR whilst unleashing a strong run of releases on his own Perc Trax label has seen Perc’s influence and support grow even further. With each release his sonic experimentation has taken another leap forward without losing sight of the dancefloor.  2009’s ‘Throb’ on Ovum and ‘Submit’ on CLR brought Perc his first support from the key Berlin tastemakers and his 2010 releases including ‘BCG’ (Perc Trax) and ‘Monad V’ (Stroboscopic Artefacts) have made him an essential artist for those with an interest in techno that refuses to conform to preconceptions. As Perc’s profile grows his booking schedule has become busier and Perc’s travels have covered all of Europe plus tours of USA, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and Japan. Personal highlights for Perc's touring include a back-to-back set with Oliver Ho in Tokyo, his debut at Tresor in early 2010, being part of the Drumcode tent at Dance Valley in 2008 and playing on the same bill as Richie Hawtin and Speedy J at 2008’s Electric Deluxe Queen’s Day party at Melkweg, Amsterdam.  This year Perc has frequently played alongside Josh Wink as part of the '15 Years Of Ovum Tour' and will make his debut at Berlin's legendary Panorama Bar in September.    01.

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:18:53 +0200

Phil Kieran Belfast born Phil Kieran is back once again with a big schedule of quality output and some new labels including his own Phil Kieran recordings. After the mammoth ‘SHH’ debut long player project released on cocoon earlier this year to critical acclaim and a successful world tour, playing his forward thinking live avsets in some of the biggest clubs around, Kieran didnt want to look back and rest on his laurels he decided to jump back into the studio locking himself away for weeks on end putting together a large amount of output to push over to some labels he has been liking for a number of years. From these tracks produced Kieran has signed 3 eps to Snork Enterprises, Electric Deluxe and International DJ Gigolo. This happened very quickly giving him some time to look forward to the next project that he has been wanting to put to bed for a number of years ‘Skyhook’.  Originally never making any remixes of the massive chart smasher he had lots of requests from various people to rework the track. Without having a label to put it out Phil dismissed this as something that he might look at in the future.  The skyhook remixes have been produced by Jesper Dalhback & Adam Beyer, Ricardo Tobar, Scuba Vs SCB, Green Velvet and Felix Martin who you will know from Hot Chip infamy. This is a project put together to kick start his label Phil Kieran Recordings and also finally end the request to re-release Skyhook. 01.

CLR Podcast | 076 | Chris Liebing

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 13:17:02 +0200

CLR Podcast 076, with: Chris Liebing´s first Omen set ever - 24.11.1995 Welcome to this week´s CLR Podcast. Let me take you on a little personal history tour this time. You might know that I am normally more about "new" music, rather than "old" music, or one could say that I am pretty much the wrong DJ to book for a "classics" night, but here I am, very happily making an exception. A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon an old box in my basement. In this box I found a tape (yes, one of these old things with two holes and actual tape on a reel) with a white sticker that showed "Omen 24.11.95" on it. I realized that on this Friday night, almost 15 years ago, I had my very first gig at the famous club. At that time I was randomly DJing at little clubs and worked main time for EYE Q Records in Frankfurt, when I was asked by DJ Good Groove (at that time label manager at EYE Q) if I could fill in for DJ Pauli (today label manager of Cocoon Recordings), who suffered a stomach flu. It was Friday afternoon and I was basically the last person to get asked, since all other regular resident DJs didn't have time. Of course I agreed, and lucky for me, the night went so well, that I quickly became a resident at this famous club in the heart of Frankfurt myself. In the last three years of this club (it had to close down in October 1998) I was able to play along some of the finest international guests and also opened various times for Sven and DJ Dag - as well as having my own nights, where I invited artists like for example Adam Beyer or The Advent. Looking back to these precious 3 years of my career, I would say it was the best DJ school one could ever ask for. I played warm up sets, long sets, short sets, peak time sets, morning sets and chill in and out sets, all in front of a knowing crowd on one of the best sound systems at that time. So it really is quite a discovery, which I made in my basement, and I am happy to be able to share this with you on our CLR Podcast. I am curious what you think. Were the old times really better then today? How much has changed in style and sound? A lot? Nothing? Are we going in circles? Maybe you could send me some feedback on Facebook or Twitter, since we have not yet managed to install a forum on our Website (soon to come…). Ok, so what you can hear on the published CLR Podcast are 60 min of that tape recording, including some comments of mine. In case you are interested to hear the whole 90 min without my talk, you can download it for free on our website www.clr.net, you just need to register. The set is so old, that I do not think anyone will mind. Sorry about the sound quality at times, but remember the tape is 15 years old. Now lean back and enjoy - and by the way, in case someone can come up with a complete track listing, that would be very much appreciated :) Peace and fun, Chris Liebing

CLR Podcast | 075 | Peter van Hoesen

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 13:11:00 +0200

Peter van Hoesen When it comes down to combining the best of many musical worlds, Peter Van Hoesen can say he's been doing it for a while now. Deeply rooted in the Belgian electronic music scene, he is considered by many as a man with multiple musical talents: from straight-up dancefloor jackin' techno to advanced abstract electronica. He is active as a DJ, producer, composer and sound designer for contemporary dance and theatre. Since 2006 Peter has established a reputation for producing solid but thoughtful techno. His productions are mainly released through his own Time To Express imprint. Attention to detail, a healthy obsession with bass and a profound love for the dancefloor are trademark aspects of his work. This was soon picked up by other labels, resulting in releases for Komisch, Curle, Meakusma and Morse. A string of remixes concludes this list, most notably his dark 2009 techno reconstruction of Ed Rush & Optical's seminal tech-step burner 'Defect'. His 2010 album 'Entropic City' was heralded by many as a contemporary classic. Peter's techno sound is best described as bass-heavy, 6 am warehouse music with a twist. His monthly DJ residency at Brussels' legendary Fuse club showcases this particular take on electronic dance music. With a keen ear for new sounds his musical approach is distinctly forward looking, while staying connected to electronic dance music's rich past.

CLR Podcast I 074 I Audio Injection

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:34:34 +0200

After years of Djing he then decided to learn to produce his own music, which landed him releases on techno labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, & local label Droid Recordings.

CLR Podcast I 073 I Norman Nodge

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 11:08:32 +0200

Norman Nodge Norman Nodge is a resident dj at Berghain since 2005. Being a life long music lover, dj and promoter of his own parties all led up to his current status of Berlin’s secret weapon for serious techno. Born in East German Leipzig, raised in Brandenburg, Norman got bitten by the techno bug after the wall came down. From 1994 on he promoted several events, which also helped to launch his career as a dj. At these parties, he crossed paths with Marcel Fengler and Marcel Dettmann for the first time and literally became their mentor for all things techno. At the end of the 90s, Nodge backed out of the local nightlife in order to focus on becoming a lawyer and starting a family. Five years ago, though, Marcel Dettmann pitched him to Berghain’s management and he became a resident instantaneously. Since then, he plays there once a month specialising in the almost forgotten art of warming up at the beginning of a night. In 2005 he also started to produce his own tracks. His maturity proved to be very beneficial in terms of his artistic vision, as he made up his mind about what he likes and what not a long time ago already. Unsurprisingly, his outings on Dettmann’s MDR label, as well as his track „Native Rhythm Electric“ for OstGut Ton left a deep impression with headstrong techno lovers. With his dusty funk, static hiss and the rich thump of his kick drums, he managed to made himself recognised as one of techno’s more unique auteurs. Norman Nodge cites Detroit techno (Jeff Mills, Rob Hood, 430 West), Chicago House (Relief, Dance Mania) and Techno (Luke Slater, Peacefrog, Mark Broom) as his most essential influences. Hence, it is not surprising that he fuses the old with the new, the soft with the tough when he plays out. „It is my goal as a dj to make people dance withought walking on trodden paths of recent trends. I want to sensitize dancers for unusual sounds, old and new.“ 01. Claro Intelecto - Back In The Day - Modern Love 02. Jared Wilson - Paris Massacre - 7777 03.

CLR Podcast I 066 I Tommy Four Seven

Mon, 31 May 2010 15:24:34 +0200

Tommy Four Seven  Dark, raw and sweaty environments are where you’re most likely to find Tommy Four Seven, filling the void between house and techno since 2005.  Tommy’s been steadily building his catalogue of strong, moody and hypnotic dancefloor destroyers such as early hits on Parisian label, Kill Brique and recent recordings for Wolfskuil Records, Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe and Chris Liebing’s CLR, as well as remixes for the likes of Josh Wink and Darko Esser.  Tommy’s approach to music is unlike a musician. Instead, Tommy prefers to sound design, recording and sculpting elements into deep engaging atmospheres. It’s this production ethos Tommy also applies in the club, morphing from tech-house, to the darker realms of techno. “I always keep the foundations deep and hypnotic, a vibe I feel that creates more of a connection.”  Giving his own contribution to techno, in 2008 Tommy launched deep techno imprint, Shooting Elvis. Gathering artists from Mark Broom to Remute, to Sebastian Roya to James Kronier, choosing to release quality rather than quantity, an attitude that has not gone unnoticed.  1.

CLR Podcast I 063 I Brian Sanhaji

Thu, 20 May 2010 10:29:42 +0200

Brian Sanhaji When Brian the young innovator, came across a music program on a friend´s Amiga 500, the desire to produce his own sound started to grow within. In the beginning he experimented with Hip Hop beats, but triggered by a “The Prodigy” gig he started focusing more and more on Techno. As much as for many of his contemporaries in the nineties, the legendary “Omen” club in Frankfurt served as a source of inspiration for him. His first two records under the pseudonym “Relic” were released on the label “Triebtäter” in 2000 and 2001. After this he took the next step and founded his own label “Enable Recordings”, on which he presents artists like “The Advent” or Andre Walter, next to his own productions. Little by little, Brian got the opportunity to release on further labels as well, for instance “Punkt Music” or “Definition Records”. At the same time he produced the project “Citizen Art” together with the artist ”Cess”, and amongst others released a remix for “The Horrorist” on “Things To Come”. But ultimately they were his own releases that turned him into a much requested live act. In the course of his transfer to CLR Booking in 2005, his booking schedule increased from the main floor of “Nature One”, to the “Detroit Electronic Music Festival” in the States to his preliminary peak at “Spinclub” / Ibiza. Next to his well-established label “Enable Recordings”, he founded another imprint called “Sonata Music” in the beginning of 2008. Although it was planned as a digital only label, he started releasing the tracks on vinyl as well, due to the big success. In October 2008, the album prerelease single “Cortosis” came out, together with a remix by Chris Liebing. In November 2008, the long awaited first Studio album “Stereotype” was finally released on his all-time favorite Techno label CLR. “A stylistically versatile, entirely club oriented record with traces of Minimal, House and Dub, always true to its Techno origins.” When Brian is not touring as a live act, or producing new tracks and remixes, he is also working as highly successful mastering technician with clients like CLR and Cocoon Recordings.

CLR Podcast I 064 I Adam Beyer

Mon, 17 May 2010 14:29:49 +0200

Adam Beyer Adam Beyer became dedicated to the fascinating world of rhythm early on. After playing the drums as a teenager his obsession turned to the decks. In 1990 he bought his first set of turntables and started spinning a wide range of hiphop, hiphouse, acid and techno at local parties and clubs. Beyer soon learned how to blend his sets in a thoughtfull and highly focused way, a talent that has now developed into his trademark style. In 92 Fellow school friend Peter Benisch introduced Beyer to the sampler , a year later they got their first record deal with New York based Direct Drive. After finishing school in 1995, Beyer started work at the Planet Rhythm record store while releasing some tracks under a variety of names and continually djing all over Scandinavia. Adam Beyer sites Drumcodes 1 (Planet Rhythm 1995) as the first record to define his style; hard, percussive and loop oriented. This 12" names Beyer´s future label and was soon followed by his critically acclaimed debut album Decoded (Planet Rhythm 1996). His need to create the perfect dj tool gave rise to the launch of the Drumcode label allowing him total musical freedom. The label´s strong concept and high production levels meant it enjoyed immediate success. After six releases Beyer launched his second label Code Red focusing on a slightly softer side of techno. Code Red finished with its 10 th and final release Stand Down (Code Red 1999) which was a compilation of remixes from various international artists. His production skills soon brought Beyer to the attention of djs worldwide and global bookings soon followed. His meteoric rise has been cited as one of the catalysts for Swedish techno´s current influence. He pinpoints the Stockholm sound as being closely linked to his network of friends in the city aswell as the triumvirate of himself, Joel Mull and Cari Lekebusch. After many releases and remixes on various labels he launched the second album Protechtion (Drumcode 1999). While the market was being flooded with monoton loop oriented techno Beyer worked on strengthening the arrangements that characterised his earlier works, aswell as adding melodic strings. Still with a clear focus on the dance floor. The same year Adam Beyer and Cari Lekebusch linked up to create a stunning live act first witnessed in London to instant acclaim. The act created the intense feeling of a creative dj set while the duo played back to back mixing their production styles.

CLR Podcast I 062 I Speedy J.

Mon, 03 May 2010 13:12:52 +0200

Speedy J. Jochem Paap (the Rotterdam artist owes the nickname Speedy J to his DJ skills) is unanimously considered to be one of the first techno producers to come from the Benelux.

Since the early nineties, Speedy J releases on labels like Plus 8, Warp and Novamute. After fifteen years of techno Speedy J now has come full circle. Blurring the lines between Live performance and Digital Djing, he fuses subversive electronics and peak time Techno.

CLR Podcast I 060 I Function

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 12:11:14 +0200

Function Function, aka David Sumner, should be a familiar name to anyone who's been paying attention to techno in New York City for the past 15+ years. Heavily influence by the early New York rave scene (Limelight, NASA, Storm, etc), Dave dove into production with a string of releases and collaborations on Damon Wild's seminal Synewave label in the mid-90s. From the late 90s to the early 00s, Function put out many productions on his own label, Infrastructure. In the process he made a strong artistic connection with Regis and Female from the UK, and formed Portion Reform with Regis, releasing a handful of 12"s and an album on the cult, UK Midlands based imprint, Downwards. This connection remains strong to this day. In 2008, Dave moved to Berlin and began to strongly focus on the Sandwell District label, which was undoubtedly one of the breakout labels that year. The label was launched in 2002, and has only put out 15 releases since then, each one well worth owning. In 2010, the techno spotlight is shining brightly on Sumner and Sandwell. He has a residency at Berghain, and appears regularly at other huge clubs around Europe, and from all reports, his performance was the best set at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan this year. And now with Sandwell District being slated to close the main stage at Sonar this June, 2 new groundbreaking V/A Promo 12"s in the pipeline set to come out in May/June 2010, which will precede a full length Sandwell District album and 2 new collaborative projects with Jerome Sydenham for CLR and Ibadan, the future really couldn't be much brighter. 01.

CLR Podcast I 059 I Jerome Sydenham

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:12:57 +0200

Jerome Sydenham Jerome Sydenham is one of the hottest tickets in the world of house and techno music right now. His DJ sets are nothing short of phenomenal – veering from deep, intricate, chugging techno, to jackin' tech house, into huge anthemic house moments in the classic vein. Always pursuing his love for techno – both industrial-edged thumpers and deep, soulful Detroit moments, with some melodic beauties along the way. Jerome Sydenham’s illustrious music career took off in the late eighties when he joined the prestigious A&R division at Atlantic Records where he worked with the likes En Vogue, Das Efx, and breaking the vocal house group Ten City. Soon after he met emerging producer Kerri Chandler – one of his closest friends and a former collaborator, his name as a producer and DJ gradually built over the ‘90s, with his superb label Ibadan Records launched in 1995. He is best known for beautiful, emotive, sunkissed deep house tracks like "Swimming Places", and his timeless collaboration with Dennis Ferrer, "Sandcastles", both on leading house imprint Defected. However he also shares Ferrer’s love for hypnotic, soulful, sexy techno – bringing undeniable warmth to an often emotionally cold genre of music. His collaborations with Get Physical’s Swedish talent Tiger Stripes - like the hugely acclaimed "Elevation" and their joyous remix of Faze Action’s classic "In The Trees" - should likewise be added to the cannon of great house music history. Sydenham’s desire to push the creative envelope took him into the world of Techno with the hit “Asama”, with which he launched the German based label Apotek Records. The year 2007 also saw the initiation of a new label collaboration, Avocado Records, established in Denmark with heavy weight producer Rune RK with the monster "Elephant". Recent remixes by Sydenham include: "Angel" by Carl Craig (Planet-e), "Forming Dies" by Adam Beyer & Joel Mull (Drumcode), "Way of the Lonely Ones Pt2" by Nihad Tule (Spectrum), and "Materia" by Nic Fanciulli (Global Underground). 1.

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:20:28 +0200

Samuli Kemppi Samuli Kemppi is one of the key figures of finnish techno scene. Hard working producer and dj who is always breaking boundaries and delivering fresh mixture of times past and days yet to come. His influences range from Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode to Sahko Records and recent Sleeparchive releases. His sound is described as icy cold techno style, a controlled exercise in minimal techno devastation, bass-heavy jacker grooves with shivering hihats and floating athomspheres… (boomkat) Samuli is releasing his music since 2002 under different names / pseudonymes. 2008 and 2009 have been very successful years for him, with phantastic releases on Ostgut Ton, Prologue and Time To Express. This year there`s a lot of great stuff in the pipeline, for example his Dark matter EP on Mote Evolver is just released. 01. Edit-Select feat Gary Beck - Ploy - Edit-Select 02.

Dustin Zahn A bad ass behind the decks, and in the studio since 1998...Dustin Zahn’s productions ended up on some bigger techno labels as well as more obscure imprints. A few words can easily describe his style: moody, tribal, dark, and hypnotic. Along with Ian Lehman, he forged the well-received “Attack People” live performance…bringing his show across the US, to South America, and Europe as well. When he’s not on tour with his DJ sets or supercharged live pa sessions, he co-promotes some of Minneapolis’s biggest techno parties. In addition, he also manages his labels Abiotic Recordings and Enemy Records, which both receive wide support from the techno community such as Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Redhead, Tim Xaver, Dave Clarke, Umek and countless more. 01.
