AM/FM BY CHRIS LIEBING

Dark, raw and sweaty environments are where you’re most likely to find Tommy Four Seven, filling the void between house and techno since 2005. Tommy’s been steadily building his catalogue of strong, moody and hypnotic dancefloor destroyers such as early hits on Parisian label, Kill Brique and recent recordings for Wolfskuil Records, Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe and Chris Liebing’s CLR, as well as remixes for the likes of Josh Wink and Darko Esser. Tommy’s approach to music is unlike a musician. Instead, Tommy prefers to sound design, recording and sculpting elements into deep engaging atmospheres. It’s this production ethos Tommy also applies in the club, morphing from tech-house, to the darker realms of techno. “I always keep the foundations deep and hypnotic, a vibe I feel that creates more of a connection.” Giving his own contribution to techno, in 2008 Tommy launched deep techno imprint, Shooting Elvis. Gathering artists from Mark Broom to Remute, to Sebastian Roya to James Kronier, choosing to release quality rather than quantity, an attitude that has not gone unnoticed with supporters including Ben Klock, Len Faki, Joel Mull and Paco Osuna.

Function, aka David Sumner, should be a familiar name to anyone who's been paying attention to techno in New York City for the past 15+ years. Heavily influence by the early New York rave scene (Limelight, NASA, Storm, etc), Dave dove into production with a string of releases and collaborations on Damon Wild's seminal Synewave label in the mid-90s. From the late 90s to the early 00s, Function put out many productions on his own label, Infrastructure. In the process he made a strong artistic connection with Regis and Female from the UK, and formed Portion Reform with Regis, releasing a handful of 12"s and an album on the cult, UK Midlands based imprint, Downwards. This connection remains strong to this day. In 2008, Dave moved to Berlin and began to strongly focus on the Sandwell District label, which was undoubtedly one of the breakout labels that year. The label was launched in 2002, and has only put out 15 releases since then, each one well worth owning. In 2010, the techno spotlight is shining brightly on Sumner and Sandwell. He has a residency at Berghain, and appears regularly at other huge clubs around Europe, and from all reports, his performance was the best set at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan this year. And now with Sandwell District being slated to close the main stage at Sonar this June, 2 new groundbreaking V/A Promo 12"s in the pipeline set to come out in May/June 2010, which will precede a full length Sandwell District album and 2 new collaborative projects with Jerome Sydenham for CLR and Ibadan, the future really couldn't be much brighter.

James Ruskin is one of the leading lights in UK techno. With a musical history that can be traced back to mid-80s electro and hip-hop, Ruskin brings a long background and deep knowledge of underground electronic music to his productions and DJing. When Detroit techno emerged in the UK at the start of the 90s, Ruskin bought all the key records and started to DJ soon afterwards but quickly realised that he needed to make how own music to gain recognition. Subsequently, Ruskin and long-time friend Richard Polson set up a studio together and, by 1996, had also launched a label, Blueprint (a sub-label, Coda, followed in 2000). Originally working together as Outline, Polson and Ruskin’s first searing interpretations of minimalism formed part of a new wave of UK techno producers alongside Birmingham’s Surgeon and Regis, and London’s Oliver Ho. By 1998, having released a number of solo EPs and collaborative works with Polson, Ruskin put out his debut album, ‘Further Design’ on Blueprint. ‘Design’, along with the rest of his work on Blueprint, mean't that in a short space of time Ruskin became one of the World’s most in-demand techno DJs. One of the clubs that James started to play in most regularly was Berlin’s Tresor, where he first performed at his friend Surgeon’s residency. Through this connection, Ruskin was asked to deliver his second album for the label of the same name. 2000’s ‘Point 2’ saw Ruskin deliver chilling ambience, ferocious, dense club tracks, the Detroit funk of ‘Connected’ and the symphonic strings of ‘Detached’. A more rounded affair than his debut long-played, Ruskin quickly followed ‘Point 2’ with ‘Into Submission’ the next year. A denser, brooding but occasionally melodic and emotive affair, it saw the UK producer moving further from his purist roots. James’ most recent album, last year’s ‘The Dash’ was melancholic and melodic, often understated but never lightweight, Ruskin explored with a variety of tempos and beat structures on ‘The Dash’ and its his best long player to date. Against this backdrop, Ruskin has re-launched Blueprint with the first release proper from his new collaborative project, O/V/R, together with Regis aka Karl O’Connor. 01.

Marc Romboy Music with a certain break dance appeal - reminiscent of old school Chicago dance floor insanity - is Marc Romboy’s true passion. Working in dance music for over a decade, Romboy has co-founded and built internationally respected dance-music labels and projects, never tiring of coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to push the limits of electronic sounds. 
In 1994, Romboy and Klaus Derichs founded their own label ‘Le Petit Prince’. The label quickly became one of Germany’s most popularunderground outputs, with Groove magazine charting it as the second most popular label in 1995. It went on to release tracks from Microwave Prince, Emmanuel Top, Thomas P. Heckmann and Phuture until its demise in 2000. Around the same time as he formed Le Petit Prince, Romboy also began djing, frequently playing at the techno parties. Now, Romboy regularly travels around the globe at clubs including The Rex in Paris, The End in London, Watergate and Weekend in Berlin, F.U.S.E. in Brussels, Cocorico in Italy and Cocoon and Monza in Frankfurt. “Basically I love to dj all over the globe because I like the way that everybody understands and lives the same language, the universal language of techno or house music.” Romboy began his second label Systematic in 2004, he also released his debut artist album ‘Gemini’ on the label in 2006 to great critical acclaim. Through both his solo releases and his collaborations, Romboy has also released on labels including Ovum, Simple, Brique Rouge, Superstition, 20:20 Vision and more. A regular collaboration is that with Romboy and Stephan Bodzin, the two have released records together on Systematic, 20:20 Vision and Bodzin’s own imprint Herzblut, with ‘Atlas’ and ‘Callisto’, being two of their biggest releases so far. “All my other collaborations have been done with singers as I love to include the soul caused by the voice in electronic music; it’s definately my style and passion, soulful techno and house.”
In june 2008 Romboy released his second artist album on Systematic called ‘Contrast’, produced in cooperation with his friends and studio mates 45 Rocks. In 2009 he wanted to have his focus on playing a lot of different shows around the world, tours in Australia, North America and Europe. They finally launched their own weekly radio show called ‘Systematic Sessions’. Besides this he was happy to have mixed the ‘Essential Mix’ on BBC Radio One in march 2009, a great occasion to represent high quality tech house to a huge audience.” 01. Marc Romboy Vs.

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.

Phil Kieran Belfast born Phil Kieran is back once again with a big schedule of quality output and some new labels including his own Phil Kieran recordings.
After the mammoth ‘SHH’ debut long player project released on cocoon earlier this year to critical acclaim and a successful world tour, playing his forward thinking live avsets in some of the biggest clubs around, Kieran didnt want to look back and rest on his laurels he decided to jump back into the studio locking himself away for weeks on end putting together a large amount of output to push over to some labels he has been liking for a number of years. From these tracks produced Kieran has signed 3 eps to Snork Enterprises, Electric Deluxe and International DJ Gigolo.
This happened very quickly giving him some time to look forward to the next project that he has been wanting to put to bed for a number of years ‘Skyhook’. 
Originally never making any remixes of the massive chart smasher he had lots of requests from various people to rework the track. Without having a label to put it out Phil dismissed this as something that he might look at in the future. 
The skyhook remixes have been produced by Jesper Dalhback & Adam Beyer, Ricardo Tobar, Scuba Vs SCB, Green Velvet and Felix Martin who you will know from Hot Chip infamy.
This is a project put together to kick start his label Phil Kieran Recordings and also finally end the request to re-release Skyhook. 01. White Treasures - Snork - Jens Zimmermann 02.

CLR Podcast 076, with: 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 for 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…). Ok, so what you can hear on the published CLR Podcast are 60 min of that tape recording, including some comments of mine. In case you are interested to hear the whole 90 min without my talk, you can download it for free on our website www.clr.net, you just need to register. 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

Peter van Hoesen When it comes down to combining the best of many musical worlds, Peter Van Hoesen can say he's been doing it for a while now. Deeply rooted in the Belgian electronic music scene, he is considered by many as a man with multiple musical talents: from straight-up dancefloor jackin' techno to advanced abstract electronica. He is active as a DJ, producer, composer and sound designer for contemporary dance and theatre. Since 2006 Peter has established a reputation for producing solid but thoughtful techno. His productions are mainly released through his own Time To Express imprint. Attention to detail, a healthy obsession with bass and a profound love for the dancefloor are trademark aspects of his work. This was soon picked up by other labels, resulting in releases for Komisch, Curle, Meakusma and Morse. A string of remixes concludes this list, most notably his dark 2009 techno reconstruction of Ed Rush & Optical's seminal tech-step burner 'Defect'. His 2010 album 'Entropic City' was heralded by many as a contemporary classic. Peter's techno sound is best described as bass-heavy, 6 am warehouse music with a twist. His monthly DJ residency at Brussels' legendary Fuse club showcases this particular take on electronic dance music. With a keen ear for new sounds his musical approach is distinctly forward looking, while staying connected to electronic dance music's rich past.
