Chris Liebing (born 11 December 1968 in Gießen, Germany) is a techno DJ, producer and label founder who has shaped the harder end of European club music since the early 1990s. He cut his teeth at Sven Väth's legendary Omen club in Frankfurt and went on to found the CLR imprint, which became one of the scene's most respected techno labels. His weekly AM/FM podcast documents his ongoing sets and studio work, and his 2026 debut solo LP 'Evolver' - featuring Charlotte de Witte, Luke Slater and Speedy J - marks a new peak in a career spanning three decades.
Chris Liebing released his debut full solo techno LP 'Evolver' on 27 March 2026 via his own CLR imprint, featuring collaborations with Charlotte de Witte, Luke Slater, Speedy J and The Advent.
In a February 2026 interview, Liebing discussed the new album 'Evolver' and his goals for CLR in 2026, describing a packed year of touring and label activity.
The 'Roy Batty' EP, the first preview of the 'Evolver' album, was released on 30 January 2026 ahead of the full LP.
Liebing released his second album 'Burn Slow' in March 2025, featuring vocals from Gary Numan, Cold Cave and Polly Scattergood.
In May 2023, Liebing produced a remix of Depeche Mode's single 'Ghosts Again'.
