Chris Liebing today shares the latest track to be taken from his forthcoming album,
Another Day, due out
November 19 on Mute. On the new track,
“Something Half Way,” Liebing hits a sweet spot with an incandescent piece of electronic music, one that fizzes with dance floor vitality and lends itself to deep headphone listening. Listen
here.
Another Day will be available on double clear vinyl and CD – both with a silver finish and 16-page booklet – as well as digital platforms. Pre-order
here.
The new album launched last month with
“Whispers and Wires” featuring
Ladan – formerly known as
Cold Specks – and was followed by a club remix of the track. The
club mix was first in a series by Liebing, some of which were premiered in powerful live stream from the incredible environs of the Teufelsberg in Berlin as part of a new series powered by
Beatport in collaboration with Microsoft Surface for
Game Changers.

MORE ABOUT ANOTHER DAY“With this album, I wanted to take myself out of it as much as possible,” explains Liebing. After three decades working dancefloors with pummeling techno, Liebing has a formidable reputation as a DJ and is certainly comfortable with being in the spotlight, but for his solo work he has chosen a different avenue.
Another Day sees Liebing once again collaborating with an eclectic mix of artists, including several who were involved with
Burn Slow.
Miles Cooper Seaton, in one of his last performances following his sad and untimely passing earlier this year, and
Polly Scattergood lend vocals to a track each, while
Ralf Hildenbeutel returns to produce.
Ladan,
Tom Adams, and
Maria Uzor (Sink Ya Teeth) are new collaborators for Liebing.
Despite Liebing very much directing and driving the shape, tone, and essence of the album, he ultimately views it as one rooted in collaboration, and one more contributor to the album is Mute’s Daniel Miller.
“Daniel's input was just incredible,” he says.
“He brought his modular setup in our studio and he added this extra flavor.” This added element, combined with Hildenbeutel’s silky production skills, the eclectic presence of the guest vocalists, and Liebing’s intuitive ear for compositions, results in something truly unique.
