UPC 827170128422 Release date 22.04.2013
Traversable Wormhole returns to CLR after a huge success in the techno scene with the digital releases and remixes of volumes 1 - 5. The present offering on CLR contains all songs from volumes 6 - 10, originally released on 12" vinyl only.
The first anonymously produced ink stamped vinyls under the mysterious guise Traversable Wormhole appeared in the global techno scene in spring of 2009. At this time nobody knew who was behind the project and the mystique continued to grow with each new record until volume 6, when Adam X finally revealed himself as the creator of the much hailed productions in a Resident Advisor interview in 2010.
One crucial anecdote which eventually led to the digital releases and the massive remix project on CLR took place at the Berghain club in Berlin, where Adam met Chris Liebing and asked him about some highly positive remarks he had made about the mysterious act on Twitter. Chris immediately guessed that Adam was the originator of those tracks and insisted until he actually had to admit it - making Chris one of the very first persons to know the key to the mystery. It´s quite significant that this conversation took place at the Berghain, as it was the club and its infamous residents that originally inspired Adam X to write this music.

Chris Liebing drops ‘Love Those Who Fight With Passion And Faith EP’ on
CLR this January.
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.

B1 Terence Fixmer - Unforeseen (Steve Bicknell remix) B2 Terence Fixmer - Unforeseen (Fixmer's Live Version)
Short info:
Succeeding his profound and forward-thinking album 'Depth Charged' which was revealed last February, Terence Fixmer returns with 'Depth Charged Remixed' featuring Ostgut Ton's Answer Code Request and UK's underground techno hero Steve Bicknell. 'Elevation', originally the final track of the album, emotional and reflective, is kicked up a notch by ACR's Patrick Gräser by adding ponderous drum patterns making it perfect for the floor. Conversely, Steve Bicknell takes on 'Unforeseen'. With it's fast paced rolling bass it is now put into top gear shivering with feverish reverberations. To compliment each variation, included on the EP are Fixmer's own live versions that have energetically filled dance floors throughout his tour.

Tracklist:
A1 HKH B1 GHT
Short info:
ROD 2nd EP on CLR features 2 tracks that displays a style and approach he has not done before.
HKH touches the more peak time side of things, but by infusing some deep pads it creates a slightly more Detroit edge overall.
"Usually, I try to build my tracks around as minimum sounds as possible, but in this case all these lead sounds just made sense to me", says ROD.
The second track "GHT" sees ROD experimenting at a late trippy night and just flowing it out.
"This might be one of the weirdest tracks I have made so far. It reminds me it's always a good thing to search and experiment when your usual way of doing things doesn't inspire you anymore".

Tracklist:
A1 Rebekah - Distant A2 Rebekah - Distant (STERAC remix 1) B1 Rebekah - Synchronicity B2 Rebekah - Distant Memory
Short info:
Distant is Rebekah's 2nd release on CLR, after the success of her first Cycles EP back in 2013, the long awaited second single Distant is veering towards a deeper side of this Artist's repertoire. Rebekah has been pushing her sound forward in the studio and has in the last year worked more and more with analogue synths and sequencers which is evident in the title track. Opting for a more broken beat and using a vast palette to create a soundscape that keeps the groove moving forward, which opens up with darker pads, maintaining the mood and feel. Distant Memory takes sounds from the original track and shapes it into something slightly different and unpredictable by Rebekah, showcasing a completely new element of this artists work. Its downtempo and slightly experimental but also warm and inviting. Synchronicity lifts up the pace and is a full out techno groove workout, Rebekah's signature kicks come in to play but is almost more elegant here, complimenting the Distant pieces but also holding its own within the more discerning of dance floors. STERAC has produced two fantastic remixes of the title track Distant, remix 1, is more of a groovier exploration where as remix 2 (digital only), leans to the more hypnotic side, both remixes are outstanding as expected from STERAC aka Steve Rachmad, modern techno at its best.

A Anonymous B Too Many People Talking (Not Enough Information)
Short info:
"Anonymous" is a regular tune in Chris Liebing's sets across the world since summer 2014.

Tracklist:
A1 DJ Hyperactive - Venus (Truncate Remix) A2 DJ Hyperactive - Venus (Ciren Remix) B1 DJ Hyperactive - Venus (DJ Hyperactive Remix) B2 DJ Hyperactive - Venus (Original Mix)
Short info:
With the present release, Chicago born and bred DJ, producer, teacher, and brother of the humble, Joseph Manumaleuna aka DJ Hyperactive has provided us with a truly remarkable four track EP.
CLR086 covers a wide spectrum of the sonic and artistic possibilities, which make modern Techno as irresistible as it can ideally be. There is the minimalist, bouncy original, elegantly playing with a mixture of uplifting and dark vibes, then there is the extremely reduced and highly effective Truncate remix, the relentless, almost epic Ciren mix and the percussive and hypnotic remix by the man DJ Hyperactive himself. Each and every one of those versions can be appropriate for a different situation, but in the end they are all aiming for the same goal - to create an absorbing soundtrack for unifying experiences on the dance floor.
The "Venus Revisited" package and particularly the quality level of the present versions pay full respect to the outstanding original. CLR086 is a highly recommendable release for all those who appreciate uncompromising, cutting edge Techno with loads of groove and untamed energy.

01. Ellipse 02. Fleeting Beauty 03. Unforeseen 04. Purity 05. Inside Of Me 06. Outside Of Me* 07. Beyond 08. Pallid Light 09. Thoughts 10.Elevation
Short info:
Over the past two decades, French producer and live performer, Terence Fixmer, has continued to evolve as an artist while maintaining his influential stance in international techno culture. With his last solo album, Comedy of Menace, already five years behind us, his continuous evolution has led him to produce his most introspective album yet. With this 10-piece composition Fixmer is able to tell a story from start to finish, with powerful, deep, dark, pulsating tones that are essential to his musical approach. Depth Charged is a complete concept as Fixmer's track arrangement takes the audience through various emotions illustrating how there is more to darkness than the dance floor. Beginning with a slow but heavy bassline, "Ellipse" acts as a perfect introduction setting the attitude for the album. "Fleeting Beauty" brings us fluttering chords amidst a serpentine drone, while the rolling bass of "Unforeseen" sends you into a trancelike state. "Purity" distracts the listener with its raw analog warmth filled with extraterrestrial energy. "Inside of Me," exclusively selected by Marcel Dettmann for his Fabric 77 mix, followed by "Outside of Me" are both very dark tracks, filled with atmospheric suspense and quaking rhythms. "Beyond" is a pure exemplary of Fixmer's signature style with an infectious progression sending anyone to the dance floor as "Pallid Light" follows its footsteps filling a bit more radiance into a modern techno sound. "Thoughts" shows another emotion of the album with deeper dub-like sonorities leading to the final track. Concluding the odyssey is "Elevation," the most melodic track of the album, beautifully deep, undulating and atmospheric, it is a breath of fresh air that brings one back to reality. Fixmer's productions have drawn the attention to stimulate individuals in other artistic mediums, as the track was an exclusive selection of Raf Simons to showcase his works for Dior at the CFDA-Awards. Raf has been a very big supporter of Fixmer's work since his first album in 2001, Muscle Machine. Passionate of profound mystifying tones that rise and fall, Depth Charged is the epitome of unique expressiveness for Terence Fixmer. With darkness as a companion, each track has come from deep inside the soul; uncompromised soundscapes that promote taking risks.

A Drumcell - Departing Comfort (Planetary Assault Systems Remix) B1 Drumcell - Departing Comfort (Orphx Remix) B2 Drumcell - Departing Comfort (Material Object Remix)
Short info:
With the "Departing Comfort EP", CLR artist DRUMCELL has put together a heavyweight remix package for one of the tracks from his debut long-player "Sleep Complex". After receiving raving reviews and massive support in the international scene, the Californian dj/producer has invited some of today ?s most intriguing Techno artists to create their own version of his outstanding composition. The title is fairly self-explanatory and goes back to an emotion, which followed MOE ESPINOSA pka DRUMCELL all through his life. "Departing Comfort" deals with leaving one ?s comfort zone, facing change and exploring new grounds without caring about possible expectations, a challenging experience, skilfully manifested in the original version of the track. DRUMCELL is one of today ?s most extraordinary and promising electronic musicians and his way of expressing deep and truthful emotions with his characteristic blend of Techno is one of the most remarkable and recognizable trademarks of his work. To have LUKE SLATER ?s PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS contribute a remix is in itself a major thrill, but the result is even better than anyone could have expected. Elegantly driving, straightforward, deep Techno, perfectly arranged by one of the most experienced and popular underground players of our time - a more than dignified A-side. On the B-side of the vinyl we can find the ORPHX remix, which remains faithful to the broken beat structure of the original. It creates a suspenseful atmosphere and contains distorted rhythms and acidic sequences, reflecting the sonic roots of the original. The second title on the B-side is the MATERIAL OBJECT Remix, characterized by a big, hypnotic bass- line, slowly building with a variety of well-chosen rhythmic elements and textures.

Tracklist: A1 Monoloc - Things (Original) A2 Monoloc - Things (Monoloc Edit) B1 Monoloc - Things (Rødhåd Rmx) B2 Monoloc - Things (Roman Lindau Rmx)
Short info:
CLR is back with release number 83 and has something very special in store this time. Monoloc's latest effort offers a challenging mixture of various electronic music genres. Apart from the original version and the Monoloc Edit, which occupy the A side of the vinyl, two highly respected producers have contributed remixes to this project, making it an impressive assembly of potential A sides. Monoloc's original version underlines the capacity of the Berlin based producer, to create unorthodox, suspenseful Techno with a very personal handwriting. Once more the beat structure, treatment of vocal bits, the selection of sounds and the overall arrangement and production style make his productions easily recognizable and truly unique. His additional edit surprises with a mesmerizing and enchanting sequence, which could easily become one of those laid back after hour sunrise classics. The two versions alone would make a dignified EP already, but then there are the remixes by Roman Lindau and Rødhåd, which turn this release into one of the most diversified CLR releases ever. While Roman Lindau takes a House oriented direction and excellently works out the potential of the track on the more uplifting side of the musical spectrum, Berghain resident Rødhåd explores the dark side of Monoloc's composition and delivers a haunting Techno version full of well balanced bass, phasing sequences and an irresistible, almost tribal rhythm structure. CLR083 is one of those releases that characterises the direction the label has taken over the last years and is equally interesting to DJs from all kinds of stylistic branches of the scene. It´s available on vinyl as well as digitally and will surely grace countless record bags and playlists all over the world.

Tracklist: A1 Brian Sanhaji - Gyre A2 Dualit - Berkel B1 Bas Mooy - Exiles B2 Rebekah - Zero Point.
Short info:
With the present four tracks compilation of exclusive Techno productions, Rebekah delivers the third and last part of CLR's new format, which consists of an hour and a half dj mix and two subsequent EPs. Once more, Rebekah has chosen a mixture of tracks by fellow CLR players and other colleagues she admires for their cutting edge, quality production style. Long-time CLR artist and mastering technician Brian Sanhaji contributed "Gyre", the first track of the release and a truly mesmerizing, acidic journey, which fulfills the usual, extremely high sonic standard the experienced producer is known for. The second track "Berkel" was produced by Dualit and is characterized by a comparatively laid-back vibe with a gently driving rhythm, irresistibly haunting atmospheres and sequences. It closes the A-side of the vinyl and leaves you with the urge to turn it around and keep listening. The B-side contains two more tracks by Bas Mooy and by Rebekah herself. Bas Mooy´s "Exile" is another good example of minimalistic, driving and hypnotic Techno with an extraordinary rhythm and a diversified structure, while Rebekah manifests with "Zero Point" what she is best known for: straight-forward, full on, banging Techno with heaps of positive energy from the relentless side of the genre. Her second "Mind Sets" effort is a thoughtful selection, a dignified continuation of the first part of the sampler and should be enjoyed loud on top-notch sound systems. Rebekah completes the first edition of CLR's brand-new vinyl/digital venture and once more recommends herself as a tasteful advocate of uncompromising, undying Techno.

Tracklist: A1 Perc - Grindr A2 Dark Chambers - Shaded B1 Pfirter - Erosion 2 B2 Operator - Finding The Way
Short info:
With "Mind Sets", CLR artist Rebekah is introducing a new format on the imprint, consisting of an hour and a half mix and two subsequent EP Samplers for release. While the EP's in the series contain pretty straightforward Techno tracks by artists she admires, the compilation mix from the prolific DJ/producer known for her thunderous and relentless Techno beats shows a more experimental side of her musical spectrum. It features a skilfully arranged, suspenseful and haunting, sometimes edgy and sometimes spherical mixture of tracks, which can be easily listened to outside of the club as well.
The first of the two EP Samplers Rebekah compiled for this launch release consists entirely of exclusive productions which capture a moment in time within the continuously changing Techno genre. With their outstanding productions, Perc, Dark Chambers, Pfirter and Operator, the artists Rebekah had asked for their contribution, have delivered superb manifestations of this exciting moment in Techno history. CLR has been at the pulse of the movement for many years, and underlines this position with an innovative concept like this one. The new Mind Sets Series, combining exclusive EP's and the DJ-mix compilation, offer a chance for the artists to grow and discover new facets about themselves. This first Sampler is a dignified first release in the series you should definitely have a close listen to!
