Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte have lit up the electronic music scene once again with the announcement of their collaborative release, ‘Symphonie des Seins’ (Symphony of Existence), available now through Liebing’s CLR imprint. This exciting new track features both an original mix and a Dub mix from Liebing, following their stunning 2019 collaboration ‘Liquid Slow’ and serving as a precursor to Liebing’s highly anticipated ‘Evolver EP’ set to drop later this month.
‘Symphonie des Seins’ is a pulsating acid-infused track that churns with the energetic essence of 90s techno, employing a rich tapestry of sounds that evoke real dancefloor euphoria. De Witte takes the lead with her distinctive, tweaky spoken vocals, drawing inspiration from the vivid experiences found in various ayahuasca and DMT trip reports. These immersive narratives were serendipitously discovered by Liebing online, underscoring the unpredictable yet captivating creative process behind the track.
The result is a masterful blend of crisp production and heady soundscapes; ‘Symphonie des Seins’ is both a nostalgic nod to techno’s roots and a forward-thinking composition that perfectly encapsulates the evolution of the genre. This convergence of styles showcases how two artists from distinct yet complementary backgrounds can create something exquisitely coherent.
As the follow-up to January’s ‘Roy Batty’ EP, ‘Symphonie des Seins’ serves as a tantalizing prelude to Chris Liebing’s forthcoming thirteen-track ‘Evolver’ LP, which is set for release on March 27th. This album is eagerly awaited, especially with the promise of additional collaborations featuring notable techno artists like Luke Slater, Speedy J, The Advent, and Terence Fixmer, among others.
Liebing’s ‘Evolver LP’ represents a pivotal moment in his career as it marks his first solo Techno LP since pivoting to long-form electronica outputs with previous co-writers. This evolution is especially notable given his past works like ‘Burn Slow’ and ‘Another Day’ and stands as a testament to his ongoing transformation as an artist in the ever-evolving electronic landscape.
