AM/FM BY CHRIS LIEBING

Tony Rohr Tony’s lengthy journey from a College scratch DJ in Effingham, IL, to Brooklyn live artist and International superstar has been driven by his love and fascination for innovative musical ideas. His range of inspiration fuels his indefinable sound, gathering ideas through early Hip-Hop, House, Industrial and finally Techno. Channeling these expressions through his performances has earned him center stage at places like I Love Techno, Nature One, Awakenings, Tresor, Berghain, Chris Liebing’s Spinclub, Kozzmozz, Fuse, and even the closing of the famous La Real in Spain. In 2005 Tony met Tim Xavier and Camea in Brooklyn, and they began releasing together on Clink Recordings. He has contributed to five of their releases as a solo artist, and collaboratively with Tim as the Afternoon Coffee Boys. He ignited the label’s popularity with his biggest record of 2007, Kreuzberg Krunk. Tony also works with Alexi Delano, Dietrich Schoenemann and Dave Shokh (Dirka Dirka) on numerous projects and his work has been featured on top labels such as Cocoon, Weave, Podium and Frankie Records. 2008 was set to be Tony’s biggest year with two releases on Clink, one Techno and a new side of Rohr set for this summer, a House release! With additional plans for work under the Afternoon Coffee Boys moniker, coupled with his numerous collaborative releases on other labels such as Plus 8 with Alexi Delano, Tony is placing himself in the center of the action. With the rising popularity of Live PAs, Tony’s experience, production and performance skills have set him above the rest, and he is considered to be one of the hottest techno acts coming out of America.

Audio Injection Audio Injection aka David Flores has been hooked on electronic music since his introduction to the culture in the early 90's. By age 15 he was DJing at clubs and undergrounds around Southern California mixing all varieties of techno house and hardcore techno. His DJ career eventually lead to music production with initial techno releases on Monoid and harder edged acid on Industrial Strength and The Third Movement. Around the same time, his close involvement with underground culture lead him to the like minded individuals of Droid Behavior. After a few collaborative releases, remixes and live sets with the Droid label head, Drumcell, David joined the resident roster of the infamous Interface warehouse series. With releases & remixes on labels Droid Rec, 4 Track, Tora x3, Stimulus and others, Audio Injection continues to shape his own sound while releasing thumping minimal techno with a funky twist. 1.

Perc Cambridge born and London based 27 year old, Ali, aka Perc, Spartak and Votion, could be accused of being a musical obsessive, with a career that takes in spells in rock and indie bands, various dj-ing residencies, soundtrack work and his final destination as a producer of some of the most innovative yet accessible dance music currently in circulation. Key to Perc’s recent success was the release of ‘Up’ on Kompakt in summer 2007. With its unmistakable relentless rising tone ‘Up’ lodged itself in record boxes including those of Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Chris Liebing, Misc, Slam, John Digweed, Green Velvet, Erol Alkan and Steve Lawler and refused to move. Perc’s 2nd Kompakt release ‘Headphone Heart’ showed his versatility, mixing industrial-strength percussion with a haunting flute melody, a combination that on paper should never work, but somehow Ali pulled it off with style. In 2008 Ali has released his ‘Serious Moonlight EP’ on Chris Liebing’s CLR label and a single ‘Work Harder’ on his own Perc Trax label. Ali’s ‘Swords EP’ rounded off his 2008 releases. The EP was released by the label side of Lost Souls Promotions, a London-based collective for whom Ali is now a resident DJ. Ali also made his debut at Phil Kieran’s Kranc night in Belfast and has recently been asked to be a resident at the night.
This success has made Perc an in-demand remixer and over the past few years Ali has been commissioned to remix a host of world-class names including Trentemoller, James Holden, DJ Hell, Misc, Phil Kieran, DJ Yellow, Blood & Tears, Jeff Bennett, Gary Beck and many more. His most notorious re-rubs include his driving take on Holden's own 'First Light' and his reworking of DJ Hell's 'Buttersaure' that had the cream of Europe's techno scene salivating. Already in 2009 Ali has released on CLR and Perc Trax and has an EP for Josh Wink’s Ovum label ready for release after the summer. Alongside these are remixes of Misstress Barbara, Ed Rush, Kyle Geiger and Max Cooper (for the infamous Traum imprint), all out now or about to be unleashed. 1) Muff76 - Mere (Kevin Gorman Remix) - Dirty Planet 2) Nightmares On Wax - I'm For Real - Warp - TOOL 3) Xenogears - Los Socios - Restoration 4) Ed Rush & Nico - Defect (Peter Van Hoesen's Twisted Spine Remix) - Perc Trax 5) Lucretio - Good Words - Restoration - TOOL 6) Alexi Delano & Cari Lekebusch - Channel 0 - Hybrid 7) Valmay - Distrust - Blueprint 8) Psyk - Clockwise - Enemy 9) Dario Zenker - 92 - Harry Klein Records 10) Anderson Noise - Parana (Lets Go Outside Remix) - Sleaze 11) Donato Dozzy & Giorgio Gigli - Real Love EQ Italy - Wagon Repair 12) Par Grindvik - Continue On My Words (Dettmann & Klock Remix) - Spectral 13) Sawf - Plafa - Perc Trax 14) Gayle San - Mania (Bas Mooy Remix) - Elektrax 15) Forward Strategy Group - Combat Codes 002 - Perc Trax 16) Human League - Seconds - Virgin - TOOL 17) K Hand - The Creator - Acacia

As a producer Tim's sound is admired, analyzed and followed, with a personal style that is overflowing with maturity and fluent simplicity. He is a techno Beethoven, deep, dark and emotional, and lets his tracks breath by manipulating a few simple ideas in each experience.

CLR Special X-Mas Podcast Competition As I already announced in my special X-Mas podcast of the 24th of December, I wanted to use this opportunity to showcase some of next years fat CLR releases and give you a few Christmas gifts at the same time. I included four (4) of the many upcoming CLR releases in this special podcast and made a little comment at the beginning of each one of them. The task of the competition is to send us the correct order of the four producers mentioned below - meaning the order in which their tracks appear in this podcast. If you are familiar with the specific sound of those artists, you should be able to know which one of those tracks was produced by each one of them. If not, you can make a guess and still have a pretty good chance to win one of the four prices. In case nobody can figure out the correct order, the best guesses win. The prices are: 1. One of my XONE 92 mixing desks (by Allen & Heath) It has travelled with me over the past year, looks used, but fully functional and has my signature. I even have a kind of personal relationship with it ;) 2. A collection of all my Live Mix CDs 3. Another collection of all my Live Mix CDs 4. A collection of some CLR vinyls from the last 10 years including some rare "Es ist Freitagaaabend" 12"s The four (4) upcoming CLR releases included in the podcast are by the following producers: Juan Pablo Pfirter Traversable Wormhole Speedy J Monoloc If you know or if you want to guess the right order, just put it into an e-mail and send it to: podcast@clr.net Obviously each person can only send one single e-mail and members of the CLR team as well as their family members cannot participate in the competition. The deadline is the 24th of January 2010. I look forward to your e-mails and wish you good luck! Merry Christmas and peaceful holidays, Chris Liebing

Pär Grindvik is an artist that always aims to com-pose music that keeps the aesthetics and underground culturealive. Pär Grindvik or his pseudonym The Hollow has been a core person of the Swedish electronic scene since the nineties as record store-owner (Illegal Stockholm), label manager and producer. He is a well established artist and after many years of touring and releases on big name labels like Drumcode, Spectral Sound and his own label Stockholm LTD, which he created and founded in 2002, he is now based in Berlin, Germany.

James Ruskin London born and based techno producer and DJ James Ruskin is one of the lights in UK techno. James Ruskin comes from a background that first put him in touch with hip hop and electro and later with the emerging Detroit techno scenes and brings a long background and deep knowledge of underground electronic music to his productions and DJing. 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. James’s delivered 2 albums in the past, 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 It’s 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. While the duo had remixed Ruskin’s ‘Lahaine’ last year, the panning, hypnotic techno of their debut EP for the label, ‘Interior’, solidifies their working relationship. Ruskin has also been releasing under his own name on the label and plans to release material by artists outside of the original Blueprint line up as well as further album projects. With more O/V/R material being recorded and plans in place to perform the project live, James Ruskin is once again providing a unique blueprint for techno music.

Christian Smith Born in Stockholm, the DJ/producer has spent the last decade working relentlessly to bring his amalgamation of funky house and tribal techno to a global platform. Although Swedish by birth, Christian spent much of his youth in Frankfurt, Germany, and this turn fate played an unexpected role in determining his musical tastes. Moving to New York in 1989, Christian discovered that, running parallel to its high profile house community, the city that never sleeps also had a thriving techno scene. After finishing high school in 1992, Christian moved to Washington DC to study international business at university and, in his spare time started DJing. He never dreamt DJing would become his career. Indeed, Christians earliest DJing experiences also played a definitive role in his future work, as he first met regular collaborator John Selway in 1993. Selway, who was playing the same rave circuit as Christian at this time was also working in New Yorks renowned Satellite Records store. By '97 he felt really inspired by DJing and the music that this prompted him to get working seriously with his label TRONIC. However, on completing his studies, Christian started to go to New York more frequently to collaborate with John Selway! 
Back in Stockholm later on, Smith noticed that the demand for his tightly mixed, three decks DJing had increased and was booked to play all over Europe and beyond. Tronic was one of the first tech-house labels, music that house and techno DJs could play; Christian calls his style housey techno. While there's no doubt that Christians distinctive work injected a much-needed sense of funk back into techno, he made it accessible to a wider audience. His DJing is of an exceptionally high standard; Smiths willingness to travel to literally every country in the globe has been another determining factor in his ascendance.
While Smiths releases ensured his bookings continued to soar, the Swedish DJ/producer identifies the release of his first major mix CD, Tronic Treatment as another turning point in his career. Weighing in at twenty eight tracks and recorded live in Australia on three decks, the smooth mix moves from funky house through to dubby, rolling tech-house, into pulsating techno. In fact, as things get faster, his selection becomes more varied. Christians profile was raised by the mix. His sense of diversity and unwillingness to adhere to one dimension is an ethic Christian believes is inherent in the worlds finest DJs. Christian was most inspired by Carl Cox and Laurent Garnier. Although both DJ’s are quite different what Christian saw in Carl was the ability to mix continuously between three turntables, and create that musical fusion. 1.

The Advent Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. 1987 Cisco began going to clubs and learning about this new thing called Acid House, which was spreading like crazy throughout London’s underground scene, culminating in the famous "Summer of Love" in 1988, the genre’s golden period. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis and Fingers Inc’s recording sessions! Around this time, a record label called, Jack Trax "One of the 1st to release Acid House, House and techno in UK" Moved in next door and began using the same studio for recording sessions, with Cisco as the engineer working with Fingers Inc, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson and Derrick May. Cisco released his first record in 1988 on Ferrari records (R&S records) Then later "Cisco Ferreira" EP on Fragile. His first big break came in 1994, when he and fellow Londonite Colin McBean (a.k.a. Mr. G) were brought on by Internal Records to help co-produce a group called Salt Tank. A record contract with Internal/FFRR soon followed, committing The Advent to 12 EP’s and 3 albums. Today, The Advent goes on just as Cisco Ferreira. While he has had a long history with tons of accomplishments to hang his hat on, he continues to make history. The Advent is fulfilling Cisco’s vision as much as ever. He is busy touring as both a DJ and a live performer, producing for numerous labels, and running his own Techno imprint, Kombination Research. As Cisco moves forward, striving to fulfill the ambitious goals he has set one can look back at his storied past and see how he has come full circle..

JOEL MULL
 Stockholm, Sweden. He started travelling around the globe more than a decade ago and quickly made himself well known as "the Swedish techno soul" of the electronic music world. Joel's passion for music really started in his early adolescence when he began attending a music school and spending all his time at the piano and keyboard.
In the early nineties the new phenomena "Rave" caught his attention and his interest for electronic music and recording own material led to large sums of money being spent on drum machines, samplers and synthesizers. Soon the first 12" techno track was released, a collaboration between him and school friend ADAM BEYER. For over 3 years, 3 times a month, Joel was warming up, closing and playing along-side many of the important DJ's on the national and international circuit.
Moving back to Stockholm in 1997 Joel had more time to focus on his productions and in early 1998 his own imprint INSIDE RECORDS was born. In the recent years Joel has focused on his DJ career more than ever which has led to a hectic touring schedule. His productions and releases are also getting more attention. In 2007 we saw a string of releases and collaborations from Joel with other top artists, but the most important release was of course his artist Album "The Observer" on Harthouse. He integrateded Ableton live into his DJ set and used the mixer 3D from Allen&Heath to combine the two systems. The result was fantastic. He will definitely be known as one of the few who more than rode but created the wave of electronic dance music and he will always be mentioned regarding Swedish techno!
This year has been another great year for Joel. 
Before this years Winter Music Conference he got asked by his friend DJ/Producer Nic Fancuilli to mix a compilation with tracks from his Label Saved Records. It got featured as cover cd with the Magazine IDJ doing a WMC Special. And 30.000 units got spread around the world. 
At the moment Joel is working on a album due to be released 2010. He will also continue his residency on the Drumcode label parties that are going to go on tour next year starting in January in London at Ministry of Sound...

The CLR Podcast 037, this Monday, 9th of November 2009, with a massive set from Benny Rodrigues… Enjoy, guys! Benny Rodrigues has infiltrated himself in the list of famous Dutch top DJs in a very short time. This Rotterdam born and raised talent with Portuguese blood understands the art of using the funk, of getting the dancing floor full and the room to its feet. Although confessed because of its groovy/funky (deep) tech-house sound with lots of detroit, minimal and acid influences, he also knows that he has to do some work now and then and he knows how he must use that hatchet, what results in a particularly strong and delightful portion of techno which remains above everything well digestible. Besides his huge amount of dj-gigs, Benny's main focus nowadays is to produce music wich reflects his tipycal edge sound, so the rest of the world will get to know and experience where Benny Rodrigues musically stands for. With releases scheduled on Darren Emerson’s (ex-Underworld) Underwater Records and other very interesting upcoming projects he's setting himself quite a good step in the right direction!

Hello everybody! It’s monday and we wanna start the first week in november with a new CLR Podcast, this time with the swedish DJ Ida Engberg... Listen and enjoy! 27-year-old Ida Engberg started DJing hip hop and soul aged 14 after a boyfriend showed her how to mix, but she says “I had absolutely no plans on becoming a DJ, I just saw it as a new way to listen to and interact with music and I loved it!” After several residencies in the beginning, a move to Marbella brought 8 months of club gigs, followed by a season in Ibiza which inspired Ida musically like no other place. “I had fallen deeply in love with the minimal techno sound so it was perfect at the time. At the end of the season, Ida returned to Stockholm landing a top residency at Cocktail Club, the best underground club in Stockholm. “Stockholm is a great platform for electronic music. There are so many great producers and DJs living here and people really support each other.” Although DJing is her first love, it was only a matter of time before Ida tried her hand at production. Her first effort was the massive Disco Volante - signed by John Dahlbäck to his Pickadoll label and released in 2007 with a Sebastien Leger remix it became a huge hit all over the world, featuring on compilations from Ministry of Sound, Defected in the House and Pacha Ibiza. It charted across the whole of Europe. Two more tracks have followed on Get Physical and Pickadoll plus a remix for Dada Life. She can be found playing her brand of minimal, techno and tech house in clubs all over the world every weekend, and her love of what she does is obvious to all. Playing unplanned sets allows her to respond to the crowd, she’s rocked parties and clubs. Lately she also took part in the Drumcode parties with Swedish companion Adam Beyer.

With a strong foundation in Detroit Techno and House, Thomas has been an active - and eclectic - producer and DJ for over 17 years, and is one of the leading players on the international DJ circuit. His international breakthough came on legendary techno label Bush Records in 1997 with the track “When I Rock”; unique at the time for fusing Techno with a distinctive hip hop sample: In the same year Thomas was commissioned to compose the music for a staging of Shakespeare’s Hamlet at the Schauspielhaus in Bonn, and he ended the year with his first solo artist album Electric Ballroom. Mixmag hailed it “Techno’s funk packed answer to (Daft Punk’s) Homework.” He followed this up with extensive international touring, numerous productions and remixes, and two more artist albums: Electric Avenue and Home, rated by de:Bug magazine as “…a bloody deep masterpiece”. Soon after the release of Home, Thomas signed with Get Physical Music. The affiliation with Get Physical is set to continue in 2010 when Thomas releases his new album for the label in March. Nowadays Thomas is a proud family man, and while he still spends plenty of his time in the arrivals and departure lounges of airports all over the world, he is honoured to travel to every corner of the globe to do his thing, and showcase the diversity that has become his trademark. 01.
