Chris Liebing had his first Residency as a DJ in a small club called "Red Brick" 1991 in Giessen, near Frankfurt. There he was playing all sorts of music from Soul, Hip Hop and Pop to House. In 1993, buying his records at Downtown Records in Giessen, he discovered the more electronic side of music, and one year later, he decided to open up a Techno Club, called "Spinclub". Already beginning of 1995 the club had to close down and Chris began working for Eye-Q Records in Frankfurt. During that period, he met his friend and partner Andre Walter. Together they started to built up a studio and worked on music. Later that year, the first record on Global Ambition was released. Also together with Tommy Bingel from Downtown Records and Toni Rios, they founded the house Label SOAP. Various records and remixes were released, like Traveller on Harthouse, Noosa Heads and E.H.R. on Soap, Strictly Ryth, and others. In November 1995, Chris had a chance to play at the OMEN in Frankfurt and shortly after became Resident DJ. About a year later, influenced by his DJ-ing, he created "fine Audio Recordings" together with Under Cover Music Group. Chris gained first worldwide recognition with releases like Audio 07 and Audio 11. Between 1997 and 1999 he hosted his weekly radioshow on Evosonic Radio. Very much happened then in 1999, Chris played the first time for the U60311 and started his residency every first Friday of a month with "Es ist Freitagaaabend!", playing along with his favourite DJ's and live acts from around the world. He joined the Cocoon Agency in Frankfurt to take care of his growing booking schedule and also in that same year, he moved on with his label work and created his own record company "CLR". From then on the labels CLR, Clretry, CLAU, Stigmata and Soap were distributed by Prime in England. Since August 2000 you can hear Chris and Pauli Steinbach in their "Pitch Control" on HR XXL every Thursday night. In may 2001 he mixed his first double CD Techno Divison Vol. 01 in cooperation with his residency Club U60311 and their label. The CD runs went well and were charted on ..18 of the German dance chart directly. Also Chris started working to produce for his first album. But he still released production on his own labels in 2001/ 2002. In 2002 he left Cocoon Booking to manage the booking schedule by himself. From now on CLR is taking care of his labels and bookings. Chris Liebings Debutalbum EVOLUTION got released in June 2003 national and October 2003 worldwide. The reaction is immense and most magazines support the album and producer behind it. Next to releases in 2003 on his labels CLR, CL Retry, CLAU and Stigmata (for more information watch Chris Liebing's discography) Chris decided to built up his own Party row ES IST FREITAGAAABEND (means its friday night) in the U 60311 in Frankfurt. In August Chris played Nature One Festival in Germany and got voted to best DJ of the festival, second year in row. After a successful year (2003) Chris decided to take off a complete month in January 2004; he wants have a few weeks off for vacation and studio work. In that take off Chris have had the idea to arrange a remix contest for all tracks he released on his debut album Evolution. Chris put all parts of the tracks on his site for download; and within a few days CLR received more than 2000 registrations of producers who wanted to do a remix. After three month CLR received more than 500 remixes; and on August 2004 Chris released the best four tracks on CLR evo. In July 2003 Chris Liebing is nominated for the German dance award in the category best national DJ, also nominated were Paul van Dyk, Sven Väth & Westbam. Chris flew in to be part of the award show wich happened in Berlin; really happy about the nomination; - nothing aspected and WON the award for best national DJ! A few weeks later Chris and Pauli receives the information that the radio channel where they run their weekly radio show, that the radio channel was switching name and products; their radio show PITCH CONTROL should move from a Thursday night slot to Saturday night. Pauli and Chris decided not to go on, because both are mostly booked DJ wise, and the Pitch Control team decided that to record the show under the week and to broadcast it Saturday night instead of doing it live, would mean they'd lose loads of spontainous vibe. So in December 2004 the last Pitch Control went on the air before they both closed the radio show after three years.. The reaction were massive, but there were no chance to hold the Thursday night. In the beginning of 2004 Chris Liebing was voted "best remixer" by Raveline Magazine's yearly readers poll. In the categories best DJ and best Producer Chris runs number two. In May 2004 Chris released his second double mix CD for his residency Club U60311 on their Label Techno Divisions; the Mix CD by Chris was Vol. 4. in this mix CD Chris goes on as he would in a DJ performance, with all technical equipment and effects he usually uses; Final Scratch; Ableton Live, Faderfox, Air FX, etc. Also the cover of the CD shows his laptop with Final Scratch running. In March Chris received a request if he would be interested in hosting a weekly night from July to September together with Mauro Picotto on Ibiza at the Privilege Club. Chris and Mauro decided to do so; even with loads of critics in back; they did, and the Meganite combinazione were born. The night turned out as a success and the first season on Ibiza were made, both hosts will go on with Meganite Combinazione at Privilege in 2005 every Wednesday. In October 2004 Chris release the STIGMATA CHAPTER ONE Mix CD, for wich he used all 44 tracks he has released on his Label Stigmata for the first Chapter ( 01 10) in cooperation with Ableton live. The mix CD is sold as The complete Collection, -Chapter one . Chris Liebing and his partner Andre Walter will start in second half of 2005 latest with the Stigmata Damon Chapter, Chapter two. Together with the incredible dutch producer Speedy J Chris produced a release on Speedy J's label COLLABS in which Speedy J releases always in cooperation with some other producer on the renommated Novamute label. Chris and Speedy J released Collabs 300 in November 2004. The results were good and Speedy J and Chris Liebing realized that they should continue to work together. So they started the collabs 300 series; in January 2005 they will release their next 12. Collabs 301. Also a complete album is scheduled for November 2005 via Novemute. In November 2004 the international recognized readers poll of the Top 100 DJs of the world from DJ Magazine happened. Chris Liebing climbed on at number 23! He climbed 65 steps; which has him as the highest climber of the Top 100 readers poll history of DJ Magazines. In January 2005 Chris received the message that he is again nominated for two German Dance Award; Best DJ and best Techno Artist. The Award show will happen on March 11th 2005. Also in 2005 Chris Liebing will host a second month residency at Avalon in New York City.His night ES IST FREITAGAAABEND at the U 60311 will happen in 2005 again for sure, for the 6th year! January Chris signed endorsement deals with Final Scratch 2 and Shure. Chris will play at the german release party in Berlin for Final Scratch and in Miami in March for the American release party of Final Scratch 2. In Febuary 2005 Chris will relaunch his website; new updates artwork, new press shoots. In Summer 2005 Chris and Mauro celebrated their second year in Ibiza with Meganite.

Srpska nova...

Doslo vrijeme da opet slavimo... Poslije prikupljanja snage, obilnog prezderavanja za Bozic i sve, lijepo bi bilo da na vrijeme isplaniramo ovu drugu Novu... Za pocetak, 13. januara u Hrvatskom kulturnom centru sviraju DJ Tin (mislim da je u pitanju "Inner sunrise") i DJ Tina, djevojka iz Beograda, koju smo imali prilike cuti jednom ili dvaput ovdje... Ulaz je besplatan, a "Bavarija" ce se prodavati po promotivnoj cijeni. Dakle, jeftino, dostupno i muzicki veoma primamljivo.

Ko ima vremena da skokne do Beograda, na secult.org pise ovako:
Londonski sastav X Press 2, proslavljeni hitom “Lazy” 2003. godine zvijezde su proslave Srske nove godine u klubu Posejdon u Beogradu, gdje ce nastupiti uzivo i DJ Tommyboy, kao i dvojac John Creamer & Stephane K, prenose srbijanski mediji.
Sastav X-Press 2 prvi put se na internacionalnoj klupskoj sceni pojavio 1993. godine. Ashley Beedle, Rocky i Diesel, koji su iz predgradja Londona, dozivjeli su 2002. godine i veliki uspeh singlom “Muzikizum”, dok su pesmom “Lazy”, najvecim radijskim hitom te godine, zasluzili i nagradu "Ivor Nevello".
Prosle godine objavili su drugi album.
Tommyboy, koji se bavi DJ-ingom vec 16 godina, poslednjih nekoliko godina pustao je muziku u svim bitnim svjetskim klubovima (Vinyl Njujork, Thurnmills London, El Divino Ibica…), a saradjivao je sa nizom top DJ-eva (Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Pete Tong…) i izdao nekoliko velikih klupskih hitova (You make me feel, Extacy, u saradnji sa Sultanom, Naturelize sa Mannelom).
U poslednje vreme bavi se i produkcijom i promovisanjem sopstvene izdavacke kuce Pornostar Records, ali i mnogobrojnim remixima koje radi za Yoshitoshi, Stereo, Iberican Sound, Stereo Cool…
Stephane K i John Creamer su DJ-evi i producenti koji vec par godina unazad izbacuju neke od najboljih remiksa i izdanja - remiks “Hide U” koji su uradili za Kosheen doneo im je nagradu za najbolji remiks u 2001. godini na Music Awardsu.
Uslijedili su i remixi za Satoshi Tomiiea “Love In Traffic”, New Order “Crystal”, “Waiting” Nat Mondaya i Rapture ”Iio”.
Remiksi “Hide U” i “Iio” postali su globalni hitovi i dostigli su sesto i trece mesto na britanskoj Top 10 listi.
Uradili su i remiks projekte “Troy” Sinead O’Connor i “Mooney” Dove.
Producentski su se istakli projektima “I Love You” i “Wish You Were Here”, a osnovali su i sopstvenu izdavacku kucu NY Love (prvo izdanje Storm).
Stephane K je uradio i remiks pesme "Nobodies" Marilyna Mansona (Universal).

Novogodisnji party maraton :-)

Prije desetak dana u Banja Luci je otvoren Cat club, na donjem spratu diskoteke «Titanijum». Koncepciono i dizajnerski sjajno osmišljen, ovaj klub je mjesto gdje će se, nadam se, u budućnosti okupaljti svi istinski ljubitelji, konzumenti i simpatizeri odlične muzike, opuštenog provoda i zanimljivog svijeta... Za sada u njemu svira «Urban beat», Woodie, ali i neki drugi predstavnici alternativne kulture, uglavnom iz BL i okolnih gradova.
Dva dana prije nove godine dođe vrijeme da i ja poslije višemjesečne pauze isprobam moje nove dancing shoes... U ekipi sastavljenoj od mojih omiljenih partijanerki – go go Nataše i Jelene i Mirjane, a poslije zagrijavanja uz vino crveno, upadosmo u Cat... Mjesto kao da sam ja smišljala... Crveno, malo, akustično, pod zemljom, toplo, svukud mačke i aluzije o mačkama... Za gramofonima Mladen Tomić, ekipa se tek okuplja... Ohrabrene s još malo vina, prisustvom promotera Srđana i Ive, plesali smo... Plesali... Apsolutni hit nam je Umekova stvar «Posing as me», ali i gomila domaćih i stranih producentskih izdanja, uglavnom sa Tomićevog novog, desetog promo miksa...
Narednu noć zaputismo se u Doboj (bez Nataše, ali s Danijelom), s nestrpljenjem iščekujući da čujemo Ivana Komlinovića, čovjeka kojeg lično nisam imala priliku da čujem uživo do sada, a već nekoliko godine priželjkujem. Na ulazu vidimo da je došlo do izmjena i da LaDiDa nije mogla da dođe, a da umjesto nje nastupa hrvatski DJ Zero, Komlinović i Feđa Knajdl... Pa, nema veze. I čuh Ivana. I dopade mi se. Znate li kako izgleda osjećaj kad čujete nešto, i slušate i dalje i mislite kako vam ništa drugo ne bi nimalo prijalo, ni leglo, ni... E, tako biješe. Mada, atmosfera nije bila nešto «pregrijana», a ljudi su već oko četvorke počeli da se razilaze... Poučeni njihovim primjerom i mi se zaputismo na željezničku stanicu... (Mnogo hvala za prevoz mom malom slatkom i preseksi Teslićaninu koji nikako da dođe... ;-))
Prvi put doživjeh i preživjeh detaljan pretres, na parkingu, sa sve rukama na haubi i raširenim nogama... Inspektorke drage, i meni je milo što se onako prisno upoznasmo... Sad sam bar sigurna u moju straight seksualnu orjentaciju... Uf.
I onda, dođe i ta Nova godina. Scenario prilično sličan, ekipa okrnjena za Natašu koja je sebi našla jednu drugu seksi zanimaciju iz... uh, Beograda? (Nato, ne ljuti se, ali ovo ti je zato što nisi došla).
Već malo poslije desetke uletismo u Cat... Odlično raspoložen UB dvojac i gomilica ljudi koji su se zagrijavali... Poslije ponoći i ljubljenja (kakav dobar izgovor da se cmoknete sa svima, a? Što Nova nije svakog weekenda J) klub se napunio, tenzije porastoše, muzika nas ponese, odnese... I tako do šest. Kad smo se zaputile u potragu za burekom. Uh, hvala nebesima što pekare rade, bez obzira na praznike... Super nam je počela Nova. Dobro, svako ima nekog koga nema, a htio bi da mu je blizu, ali u pravom kontekstu i društvu, uz dobru muziku i atmosferu raspoloženje raste, a rodi se i optimizam... Da se sve može riješiti, da će nam Nova godine donijeti malo olakšanja, malo manje prepreka i više lijepih iznenađenja... Pa tako i vama želim.
I za kraj, u maniru pravog radio fanatika, iskoristiću priliku da se zahvalim Jeleni i Mirjani na gostoprimstvu i strpljenju, a svima ostalim na raspoloženju. I već pomenutom Teslićaninu na tome što je, uz sve okolnosti, ipak mislio na mene...
I naravno, srećna vam Nova!
