Stories: Chris Liebing
Have you ever been trapped in a nuclear submarine sinking towards the bottom of the Mariana Trench? If not, you can still get an impression of how that would feel like by listening to the output of the German producer Chris Liebing. Twelve inches like Auf... EP conveys a claustrophobic sensation.
His trademark of driving sounds, deep bass and excellent production techniques have secured his spot as one of the masters of the darker strain of electronic music. Fans of happy-go-lucky tunes will need to look elsewhere. This is slightly apocalyptic techno.

I'm a bass lover, says Chris Liebing from his home in Frankfurt, Germany. Bass drums in particular are important to me.
That comes as no surprise. When listening to Liebings music it's hard not to notice the amount of attention given to the lower frequency spectrum. Especially if you hear him play live through a good PA. No wonder he has his own philosophy when it comes to bass drums.
A bass drum has to fit a certain track. You can't use one bass drum sound for all your tracks. Everything below 200 Hz must fit really well together and the bass drum is the central part. Tuning the attack and the decay of it just a little can change the whole vibe of a track.
