Traversable Wormhole Remix #1 Review on OurHouseMag.com
CLR Podcast 078 - 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.

Traversable Wormhole Remix's Pt 2 Review on RA
The Traversable Wormhole reissue series on CLR may just be one of the most exciting things in techno in 2010. With a self-consciously zeitgeist slew of new remixes mixed in with the steampunk antiquity of the originals, it's a package that appears impossibly flawless in execution. The second in the series focuses on one track, "Superliminal"—a somewhat more straightforward tune that deals with familiar spindly electric charges and forward-driving basslines. The track deals in pure black hole atmospheres, playing reverb tricks in an air-deprived oxygen chamber, audibly-diffusing mists of frequencies sucked into the invisible swirling vortex. In its sparse, subtly macabre horror, it recalls recent work by dark techno producers like Dino Sabatini and Cio D'or.

CLR Podcast 076, special 90 Minutes Set.
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 f! or 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…).
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
Chris Liebing presents 10 years CLR 1/5 review on FWD.dj
In Celebration of CLR’s ten-year anniversary, a special 10” vinyl series containing a total of ten tracks over five EP’s that encompasses Liebing and his harder breed of techno is set to commemorate the occasion. Liebing will compile all of the tracks into a mix for all to enjoy. All of the tracks to be released as singles have been edited and produced specifically for CLR’s tenth anniversary. Knowing Liebing and his exhaustingly intense rhythmic regimen, this could hit harder than heat stroke at summer camp. I mean, of course it sucked, but everyone knows that fevers are kind of cool.

If you have met Chris Liebing, you know how Zen and positive he is. De-branding his label from his own name to „Create - Learn - Realize“ reflects the change in concept and direction that comes with age and experience, and represents what Techno means to Chris. http://www.clr.net
