State Of Flow: Chris Liebing

/in /by

ā€œFlowā€ is a scientifically recognized state of mind where a person is completely focused and immersed in what theyā€™re doing- All time seems to stop, the whole world seems to disappear, and the person is performing and creating at their peak levels. Top performance athletes, engineers and especially your favorite music artists all try to do whatever they can to achieve theĀ State of Flow. Although everyone has their own method to achieve ā€œflowā€, factors such as creative workspaces, learning beyond their craft, physical/mental well being, feedback/self evaluation on work, and resting time- help all artists create their best work.

With a career spanning over 3 decades long, German techno legend Chris Liebing talks with SIX AM about how he achieves his flow state, what he does to maintain overall balance in a life filled with clubs and traveling, and what he’s doing to prepare for his upcoming performance at Seismic Dance event.

Dancing Keeps You Young & Danny Tenaglia Has Plenty of Rhythm

/in /by

New York is synonymous with a fast-paced rhythm of life, but Danny Tenagliaā€™s voice is anything but hurried. His thick New York accent seems to slow down time and makes you feel at ease. Humble in tone and demeanor, perhaps it’s all the dancing he’s done over the last 46 years of playing in front of crowds around the world that keeps him young. Danny Tenaglia sure does have plenty of rhythm and at 60 he admits he feels fresh as a daisy, well perhaps not in those words but you get the gist. “I feel like Iā€™m a 30-year-old guy again thatā€™s ready for the next gig,” says Tenaglia comments about his new home in New Jersey trading high rises for three acres of land. Tenaglia admits to ā€œexperiencing things here Iā€™ve never experienced before: groundhogs, coyotes, rattlesnakes, garden snakes. Iā€™m like ā€˜Iā€™m never leaving the house,ā€ he says with a laugh. Danny Tenaglia is embracing his newfound rhythm. He looks back on how paying dues has been an important part of his journey and how he’s been able to keep up with the demands of a touring lifestyle.

/in /by

Nowadays it’s hard to wait for, well, just about anything. You can order just about anything from your phone and have it delivered to your doorstep within days and sometimes even hours. Freaky fast. There’s instant gratification only a tap or click away. Music; however, is quite the opposite. In all of its aspects. Just ask Chris Liebing, a German techno legend, whose career spans more than 30 years and who sees himself doing it for another 10 years, at least. ā€œBe patient, donā€™t expect any results really quickly. Not in this business. Sometimes it happens but not in the DJ field. Things always take a little longerā€¦ā€ The techno DJ and producer talks about the sense of delayed gratification within music, his sophomore album’s influences, and why creating career success isn’t always about relevancy.
