Press Info:
Chris Liebing & Nicole Moudaber team up for new EP, ‘I Will Be A Devil Until I Am An Angel’

Following a remix appearance of Chris Liebing on Nicole Moudaber’s MOOD imprint last year, the pair now team up on Liebing’s celebrated CLR imprint for ‘I Will Be A Devil Until I Am An Angel’ this November.

First up, ‘Watch Me Choose You’ launches with a clap-heavy groove shot through with bleeps and squelches, a subtle serpentine acid-line woven among its sturdy drums. It’s a high-intensity, peak-time offering followed by ‘When You Are Near’, another dancefloor bomb which continues with additional bursts of acid sprayed on top of its cavernous kick drums before dropping into a mind-melting frenzy at the halfway mark.

“Since I met Nicole many, many years ago, we’ve had an amazing connection, we’ve played quite a few really amazing back-to-back sets as well as remixed each other, which we were always really happy with. It was only a matter of time until we’d do a joint original release, and here it is! We couldn’t be happier, it’s the result of our individual DJ and production styles and what we feel has the most impact on the dancefloor.” – Chris Liebing

“I’ve been listening to Chris since the mid-2000s. I remember being on the dance floor at Space Ibiza and feeling totally transported by his music, dancing until the lights came on. Fast forward to 2016, and I find myself playing b2b with him on a regular basis all over the world. His sound resonates with me on such a deep level because it can put you in a trance, and now we’ve collaborated in the studio, too. This new EP represents our collective creative and musical taste, and it’s already been tried and tested in clubs and festivals. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do – mamma mia is all I can say” – Nicole Moudaber

Press Info:
Following three stellar outings on Chris Liebing’s CLR imprint, DEAS returns to the label with the ‘Fear’ EP. For this release, the Greece-born Polish artist excellently demonstrates the use of tension in his music, with the title track building in energy through rolling bass and rhythm, counterbalanced by the sudden, imposing strikes of a string instrument.

The industrial ‘Are You Sure’ continues, featuring cavernous dub hits and hammering kickdrums, before the slicing synths in ‘Dice’ echo relentlessly throughout its clever arrangement. Last in line, ‘Koma’ then closes out this quality techno offering from the Planet Rhythm, Arts, and ara artist, growing in intensity via distorted grooves marked by tripped-out claps and DEAS’ signature use of suspenseful melodies.

Press Info:
Shlomi Aber returns to Chris Liebing’s legendary CLR with ‘Remote 101 EP’ this August.

Be As One boss Shlomi Aber has been DJing and producing since 1994, bringing his unique style of Techno to esteemed imprints such as Cocoon, Ovum, Nonplus, Figure, and of course, CLR. Returning to Chris Liebing’s imprint, Aber follows his 2022 EP, which spent 9 months in the Top Ten Beatport’s Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) section, with another four killer techno tracks.

Leading the release, ‘Righ’ combines raw, buzzing basslines with crunching percussion that evolve alongside twisted vocals throughout, kicking off the release with real menace. ‘Time and Space’ heads for trippier territories, deploying spaced-out voices buried under rattling atmospherics and pounding drums. ‘Chasing’ follows, bringing a propulsive and energetic vibe before the title track ‘Remote 101’ closes out proceedings with sizzling drum hits and intense synthesis – a killer dancefloor offering from CLR and Shlomi Aber alike.

Press Info:
Italian techno innovator The Southern joins Chris Liebing’s celebrated CLR imprint.

Carmine Portarulo AKA The Southern has risen through the ranks, becoming a regular on the international stage at clubs and festivals like ADE and Harry Klein amongst others. His stripped-back but cooling techno has found a home on labels like Tronic, Intec and Rawthing and he now makes his boldest statement yet on the legendary CLR.

This EP opens up with ‘Crackin Jack’, a belting track with hammering drum funk underneath dark vocal loops, as streamlined synths race along with increasing intensity. Things get even more raw and textured on ‘Killa Jack’, which brings frazzled synth stabs beneath tightly looped human voices. The superb ‘Switch Master’ drives ahead with edgy synths bringing a sense of suspense, which layered with deft details and pulsing effects ensures a maximum techno rush.
