Decorated Permutation 3
(Thomas P. Hackmann Remix)

Press Info:
Luis Flores lands on Arkham Audio with Decorated Permutation, a stripped-back, high-impact EP that leans deep into hypnotic minimalism and mechanical groove. Out June 13th 2025, the release features three original permutations plus a blistering remix by German techno legend Thomas P. Heckmann.

Each track is a variation on a theme: dark, focused, and built for tension. The opener moves like a pressure system — thick atmospheres, sinister pads, and a pulsing drive that sets the tone. Track two comes heavier, stompy, with a vibrating low-end that doesn’t let up. The third strips things back even further, sharpening the edge while keeping the floor in a trance. Heckmann closes the release with a peak-time detonation — distortion, chaos, and rave-ready madness that reimagines Flores’ sound with raw, unforgiving energy.

This is techno with intention — functional tools that still carry emotion. No fluff, no filler. Decorated Permutation is a full-circle moment — Flores at his most distilled, with one foot in the shadows and the other locked on the floor.

Press Info:
Chris Liebing returns to his CLR with two-track EP.

Chris Liebing comes back to his CLR label this April with the ‘Phantom Rider’ EP, already supported by Daniel Avery, GiGi FM, Jon Hester, and more. The first track, ‘Kaizen’, doesn’t hold back – pounding drums, cavernous dub chords, and a razor-sharp snare-laden groove all play a part in this peak-time offering. Liebing’s ‘Wailer’ completes the package, continuing with more rough and raw rhythm and wonky, unfiltered 303 lines, making for a fantastic follow-up to his acclaimed version of Emmanuel Top’s acid techno hit, ‘Turkish Bazaar’, which closed out CLR’s 2024 and has stayed at the top of the Beatport Techno charts throughout 2025.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as Risa Taniguchi, The Southern, and Klint.

Irish-born, Berlin-based producer, sound engineer, and live act Hybrasil debuts on Chris Liebing’s CLR with the ‘Kontrol’ EP, landing this April. The two-tracker, starting with the title cut, effortlessly blends inky atmospheres, crunchy rhythm and
hurried highs. The artist with credits on Rekids Special Projects and his eponymous Hybrasil label follows up with ‘Release’, a jackin’, vocal-infused track with hard-hitting drums and dark synths. ‘Kontrol’ is the kind of quality, heady Techno Hybrasil has become known for since the project’s inception in 2016.

Press Info:
Artist
Formed in the late eighties in West London, RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE are known for their inventive fusion of club sound and metropolitan character. With the original line -up of Gary Asquith, Danny Briottet and Karl Bonnie, Renegade Soundwave were known for their “Soundclash” and “In Dub” albums, and their up-front knowledge of the club scene. Their early singles ; ‘Biting My Nails” ” Space Gladiator”, “Probably A Robbery” and “Thunder 11” revealed an ear and an eye for stimulating detail. In fact “Probably a Robbery”, their first Top 40, hit was complemented by the club remixes of “O-Zone Breakdown” which were checked and decked in all the right places.

After a lengthy break, during which time Renegade slimmed down to a two piece, (Gary Asquith and Danny Briottet) they returned with the single “Renegade Soundwave” complete with its perfectly timed Leftfield remixes. “Renegade Soundwave” was a perfect taster for the album “HOWYOUDOIN?'” flush with confidence, tricky little samples, characteristic tales of late night highs and early morning come downs and , of course, an array of instruments and subject matter that was only matched by their width of influence.

Bringing together musical genres as diverse as dub, jazz and rock and roll Renegade Soundwave write an accurate score for their own inner-city tales. The Autumn of 1994 saw Renegade Soundwave step in the live arena with their club friendly blend of dubbed up bass sounds.
