Press Info:
Bjarki debuts on CLR with ‘Ping Pong Ball Gag’, remixed by label boss Chris Liebing.
The hypnotic ‘Ping Pong Ball Gag’ sees bbbbbb recors’ Bjarki utilise squirming, bubbly percussion, quirky bleeps, and a dark vocal. It’s loopy, full of character, and marks the Icelandic artist’s debut on Chris Liebing’s CLR, following previous releases on NIX, Mute, and his own bbbbbb, a visually impressive home for underground, off-kilter techno.
Bjarki’s ‘Ping Pong Ball Gag’, initially produced in 2014 and subsequently hammered on the dancefloor by Chris Liebing until today, is an occasion which calls for a remix from Liebing himself, turning the intense droning rhythm of the original into a real warehouse stomper by infusing it with 909 claps and switching up its whirring percussion, making for a fantastic combination of elements while embracing the unpredictability of the original.
Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has played host to a range of artists like DEAS, Shlomi Aber, Drumcell, Truncate and more, with a focus on developing newer acts in the scene such as B. Riley, The Southern, and Klint. The imprint now adds Bjarki to its roster with a curveball, quality release we didn’t know we needed but which should be a staple in any artist’s library.
