CHRIS LIEBING, THE ALTE STUBEN MODULAR ENSEMBLE — Entangled Circuits

Chris Liebing & The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble – Entangled Circuits (Phase Fatale Remix) Chris Liebing returns to CLR with Entangled Circuits, presented in a new 12-inch edition that places the original collaboration with The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble alongside a new interpretation by Phase Fatale. Released as CLR147V, the record transforms one of the most experimental pieces from Liebing's Evolver album into a focused techno tool while preserving the original version on the B-side. The original Entangled Circuits was created by Chris Liebing together with The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble and appeared on Evolver, Liebing's first full solo techno album. The ensemble brings together Daniel Miller, Pascal Gabriel and Terence Fixmer, adding a distinctly modular and experimental dimension to Liebing's otherwise techno-focused production. The track itself originated from a jam session in Oberlech, Austria. Liebing has explained that Entangled Circuits grew out of a session with the Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble, connecting the quiet Alpine environment with a much more complex electronic sound. That spontaneous origin is important to the character of the composition: rather than being conceived purely as a conventional club track, it emerged from interaction between several musicians and modular sound sources. Phase Fatale's remix takes that material in a considerably more direct club direction. The atmospheric and modular foundations of the original are retained, but the arrangement is tightened around a hypnotic bassline, heavier kick pressure and sharper industrial textures. The result is darker and more concentrated, turning the experimental source material into a peak-time techno interpretation. The remix places particular emphasis on repetition and physical impact. The original's complex electronic textures become part of a more focused rhythmic framework, while prominent synth stabs and dense low-end movement give the track a harder edge. Phase Fatale's treatment does not abandon the character of the source; instead, it extracts its most forceful elements and reorganises them for the dancefloor. This makes the A-side especially effective as a DJ record. The remix has enough weight and repetition to function in a contemporary techno set while retaining the unusual sonic character inherited from the Alte Stuben session. It is a meeting point between Liebing's long-established techno vocabulary and Phase Fatale's darker, industrial approach. The B-side returns to the original Entangled Circuits. In this context, the original version becomes more than simply an alternative mix: it provides the sonic reference from which the remix develops. Its modular textures and collaborative character reveal the more exploratory side of the composition, making the two sides of CLR147V a useful study in how the same material can operate in very different club contexts. The release also extends the narrative established by Evolver. Liebing's 2026 album brought together collaborators including Charlotte de Witte, The Advent, Luke Slater, Speedy J and The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble, placing techno alongside more experimental electronic approaches. Entangled Circuits was one of the album's collaborative highlights and has subsequently appeared in Liebing's live and DJ programming. For collectors, CLR147V offers a particularly focused physical presentation of the track: a new Phase Fatale interpretation backed by the original album version. For DJs, the contrast is even more significant — a harder, more concentrated remix on the A-side and the more expansive original on the flip. Entangled Circuits (Phase Fatale Remix) is therefore not simply an album track repackaged for vinyl. CLR147V reframes the composition as a dialogue between modular experimentation and contemporary peak-time techno, connecting Chris Liebing, The Alte Stuben Modular Ensemble and Phase Fatale across two distinct interpretations of the same electronic material.
