AM/FM BY CHRIS LIEBING

This week´s AM/FM is the first hour of my 5h set that I played at Concrete in Paris on Sunday August 9th. It was a daytime party and I started to play at 3 pm. I finished just shortly after 8 pm, before Dustin Zahn took over with an amazing live set. Over the past 5 years the Techno scene in Paris has developed remarkably. Concrete and the Weather Festival play an essential role in this development and the scene is very vibrant and open-minded. People are having a blast and are really open to whatever you play, as long as you play from your heart and have loads of fun while doing so. It was my third time playing on this great boat on the Seine, and I always enjoy the special atmosphere of this venue. Due to the fact that the DJ booth is right at the end of the dance floor, you are very close to everyone, which creates a certain intimacy between you and the crowd. Although I have to say that my mixing might have been off a little here and there, I chose to bring you this full 5h set, because it was just so much fun. The crowd and I really went on a journey together and I ended up playing quite a few old tracks I haven't played for a while. Touring in summer and especially in August tends to be physically pretty demanding, with all the festivals and odd club days and nights. Only in the first 2 weeks of August I have been playing about 12 gigs and Paris was gig number 7 in that series. It definitely does get exhausting at some point, but that is also the point where you enter this mode in which you start to think less and just do. And as far as I believe, this is always helpful, especially when it comes to music. Like I said before, it may not be the most perfectly mixed set I have ever played, but it was a lot of fun and quite a unique ride, so that I am more than happy to share this one with you. Hope you enjoy listening to it!

This week´s AM/FM episode is the recording of the second and last hour of my closing set at Awakenings Festival in Amsterdam on June 27th. Somehow I can't really say much about it, besides that is was one of the, if not the most intense festival gig experience for me so far. There was so much great energy from the crowd. It was really unique. Thanks again to all who were a part of it and made it happen.

This week you can listen to the third and last hour of my set that I played on the Amnesia Terrace in Ibiza for Hyte on June 24th 2015 between 6 am and 7 am, right after a fantastic live performance by Henrik Schwarz. If you watch the Video (https://youtu.be/kHpqyN4IfUE), you might already get an idea why this set was quite special for me. Some might think that I am not into melodies and vocals, considering the majority of sets that are out there and that some of you have heard me playing live, but actually I am. I am a kid of the 80's and grew up listening to the music of this time and always have been a big fan of bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode, Joy Division and so on. In the past years I have rediscovered this side more and more in me and found different ways to fuse this kind of vibe with the techno that I play. Hyte is now in its first season, Wednesdays at Amnesia and I am one of the residents this year among guys like Loco Dice, Maceo Plex and more. But also in the years before, I have always had a close relationship with Amnesia, since I played there for the first Cocoon season back in 1999. I do love this club and I think it is one of the best in the world. I always enjoy playing in the Club Room and I am happy that I can look back on many amazing nights not only for Cocoon, also for Music On …. and of course I am looking forward to more memorable nights in there this summer for Hyte. When it became clear that Hyte and Amnesia gave me the opportunity to also play a set on the Terrace, I happily agreed, knowing this would give me the chance to go even deeper into these new musical adventures of mine, as there is not really a better environment to DJ this kind of style then on the Terrace of Amnesia. The atmosphere of this room, especially when the sun starts to rise in the early morning hours, is one of its kind. Somehow it kind of took me back into my early days of DJing, when I tried to create a journey for the dancers going through various styles of music. Well, to make a long story short, although I did feel a bit nervous at first, I had a blast "on the other side" and it motivated me to continue this musical journey in the future. Thanks again to everyone involved for making this happen! Have a listen and let me know what you think. Now that you have the last part, you could even put episodes 18, 19 and 20 together in a playlist and listen to the whole set with seamless transitions. I hope you enjoy !

This week´s show contains the end of my set at Toffler Club in Rotterdam on May 8th 2015 and was recorded between 5 and 6 am. The night was hosted by my good friend Benny Rodrigues, one of the best and nicest DJs I know. You might also know him for his ROD project, btw. a new release by ROD is on the way on CLR and if you listen closely you can hear it somewhere in the set. Toffler is a rebuilt old underground tube station, which holds maximum about 400-500 people and has a quite interesting feature. The whole DJ booth at the very end of the club can move further back into the room depending on the amount of people entering the club, so the dance floor becomes bigger and bigger the more people come in. I did an all-nighter, meaning I started right at the beginning at 11 pm and played till closing at 6 am. Well actually we went till 6:30 in the end…. I really enjoy these long sets, also to start playing when no one is in yet and to be responsible for the journey through different styles over the whole night. Since the middle of the 90's when I was resident DJ at the OMEN in Frankfurt I enjoy opening a night, which sadly rarely happens these days, so the night in Rotterdam was a special one for me again. There is an interview that I did with Benny after the same night one year ago, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnEGHf6qQwM Hope you enjoy the ride with me and in case you were there that night, thanks for the great vibes and the all night dancing! We will do it again next year and I am already looking forward to it!

OK, I really didn’t plan on doing this, but I changed my mind mainly due to 2 reasons. Firstly, because of the high demand in my Facebook and twitter feed, to publish this set by those I guess mostly Argentinian fans, and secondly because it was really a very special night and quite magic two hours for me at Time Warp in Buenos Aires. As some of you might have noticed, I already published a Time Warp set on AM/FM some weeks ago, the one from Germany, and yes, I do play quite a lot of the same tracks, but, well different. Every night is different and so was this one. Must have been a combination of factors. Sven, who played a fantastic set before me, the amazing location with an even bigger main floor than in Germany, and me playing the closing set. There were a lot of goose bumps moments or it was rather one long one. I can only say thanks again to that fantastic crowd in BA for all that support and fun we shared. The new AM/FM concept is quite an experiment to be honest. It challenges me even more than before to come up with new tricks, tracks and ideas on every set, cause I never really know which one will end up getting published. I don’t wanna bore you listeners out there with the same stuff over and over again, but for the mentioned reasons I decided that you should have this one. So again, you will be judge and jury ;0) What you hear on this week´s show is taken from the set I played at Time Warp in Buenos Aires between 5 am and 6 am. It is the second and last hour of my set. On the downloadable version you can even hear my encore, which I was allowed to additionally play after 6 am. … and don´t forget that you can listen two the whole set if you put the individual parts into a playlist and listen to the whole set with seamless transitions. I hope you enjoy!
