State Of Flow: Chris Liebing

/in /by

“Flow” is a scientifically recognized state of mind where a person is completely focused and immersed in what they’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 the State of Flow. Although everyone has their own method to achieve “flow”, 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.

Techno Nirvana: Your Top Tracks and Guide for Yoga and Techno

/in /by

Yoga and techno — an unexpected duo that can you give the best of both worlds: dance and inner peace. By definition, yoga is a Hindu theistic system of physical postures, breathing techniques, as well as meditation — and, from the teachings of Buddha, the discipline of yoga can lead to spiritual freedom — spiritual freedom that we know as “Nirvana”. Ironically, within the scene of techno, rave culture, clubbing culture, and so on forth, Nirvana is not an unknown concept on the dancefloor — in fact, within these various realms of dance and freedom, Nirvana is physically experienced through psychedelics, shrooms, MDMA, alcohol, and various unhealthy practices.

So, all this to say, is that techno and yoga do make sense ironically — however; on this search for Nirvana, we’re not going to partake in a culture of pill-popping and pre-gaming, but rather a healthier way of achieving Nirvana.
