Ep. 7 - Chris Liebing

Rave Curious Podcast

Chris Liebing Loves California and Classic Cars, Hates Cheese Dairy and EDM get dissed on the Rave Curious Podcast. Chris Liebing has a long-running reputation as one of the nicest dudes in techno, but that big smile doesn't mean he suffers fools. As such, our Rave Curious conversation covers both his love of Los Angeles and his vintage Ford Mustang, and his utter disdain for the dairy industry. Plus, he has some harsh assessments of mainline EDM structures. "It's the same thing over and over again," He says. "Is your attention span so short you forgot what happened 30 seconds ago?" In between these moments of befuddlement, Liebing details his early years in Frankfurt, the rise of the often maligned "schranz" sound that he accidentally invented in the late 90s, and his more recent efforts to balance growing popularity with his own sonic evolution. He also explains why he decided to wrap his long-beloved CLR Podcast and put the label of the same name onto the back burner in order to concentrate on his own artistic pursuits.
