It’s always heartening to see label bosses still making music. It shows that they’re not completely lost to the music industry and even if it’s taken something of a back seat, they’re still fundamentally powered by the desire to create, either by signing and promoting new artists or making their own music. In his time making music, Chris Liebing has been the head of not one, but two record labels that have pumped out the very best in German techno, very much including his own work. To this day he still plays shows around the world, and could easily rest on his laurels for being one of the true pioneers of European techno but that’s not good enough for Liebing. A true artist whose brand of minimal techno is as much a treat for the head as it is for the hips. It’s a fantastic middle ground between dancefloor euphoria and music that’s legitimately creative, filled with heart and soul. It contains none of the fripperies and gimmicks that plague some of his peers’ sets cos he just doesn’t need it and never has. The man is a musician whose chosen instrument is a set of decks, and anyone with a passing interest in club music would do very well indeed to check him out.
