B2basic EP by The Southern
The Southern returns to CLR with the three-track EP, B2basic, which includes a remix from Chicagoan Techno legend DJ Rush.
The Southern returns to Chris Liebing's CLR this March with the "B2basic EP," following his two-part ‘Particle' EP on the label in 2024. First is the title track, "B2basic," a fully-charged cut laced with a wigged-out acid line, primed for peak-time club action. Then comes Chicago's DJ Rush with the remix, a thrashing interpretation defined by layers of syncopated high-hats whilst a brooding synth guides you into a sense of warehouse rave nostalgia. Lastly, "Beg It" works with stripped-back, snare-rattling techno loops to create mesmerising space and depth for the closing track.
The Southern's high-grade techno has gained support from industry heavyweights like Robert Hood, Ben Sims, Amelie Lens, and many more on impressive imprints such as Truncate, On Edge Society, Kneaded Pains, and, of course, CLR, on which he has become one of the label's leading artists.
Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists, including Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro, and more. It has also focused on developing newer acts in the scene, such as Risa Taniguchi and Klint.
