About Chris Liebing
Chris Liebing is a DJ and producer from Frankfurt am Main whose name became tied to the hard, percussive end of German techno in the late 1990s and 2000s. His sets from that period ran on tightly layered loops and relentless kick drums, close kin to schranz, and his CLR label gave a home to records in the same vein. The CLR name also covers a long-running weekly podcast and radio show built around guest mixes.
In later years Liebing slowed the tempo and leaned into atmosphere and song structure. His album Burn Slow, released on Mute in 2018, brought in vocalists including Gary Numan and set his techno background against darker, more electronic-pop arrangements.
