For the first CLR release of 2023, Chris Liebing drops a heavy-hitting EP for his own imprint, the two-track 'Love Those Who Fight With Passion And Faith EP'. Leading the release, 'For Those Who Fight' combines sub-rattling kicks and siren-esque bleeps with rousing vocal samples and shimmering percussion for a warehouse-filling club cut. 'With Passion And Faith' keeps the energy levels high with dubbed-out FX, twisted atmospherics and sizzling drum machines.

While 2022 was dominated by Liebing's 'Another Day' LP and remix version, 'Another Night', for Daniel Miller's Mute, 2023 will see Liebing in full-on singles mode with some notable collaborations to come.

Liebing's iconic CLR imprint started in 1999 and returned in 2021 after a five-year hiatus. Now titled Create Learn Repeat, CLR reemerged in the techno underground with releases from Liebing himself, followed by newcomer Frankie Bromley, upstarts Hertz Collision & Gene Richards Jr, DEAS, Truncate, Drumcell and techno legend Luke Slater.[info sheet from distr.]
