1995-11-24 - Chris Liebing @ Omen, Frankfurt (CLR Podcast 076, 2010-08-09). The content of that mix page is listed below.
Notes: This week´s AMFM is a 23 years old recording from the Omen club in Frankfurt, which I still consider the best DJ school that I have ever had. Last month, 20 years ago, the Omen closed down it´s doors for good and I felt that this was a good occasion to share one hour out of a mix that I had recorded towards the end of `95 in one of my early days at the Omen club with you.
As a little fun-fact by the way, the way I became resident at the Omen club in fall 1995, was that one day I was sitting in a record label where I was working back in the days and the late DJ Good Groove (R.I.P.) came into my office and asked me if I had time to play a little bit of music in the beginning of his set that night. On this day he had his night at the Omen club together with DJ Pauli, but Pauli was sick and he couldn´t find anyone else to play with him. Since he didn´t want to play the whole night on his own, as Omen nights were sometimes going a little bit longer, he asked me to play in the beginning. That was the very first time I got to play at the Omen and instead of two hours I ended up playing four hours and the managers asked me back again to play in the following week already. This is how I became resident of this beautiful club. I call it my DJ school as I have learned so much there, playing early sets, playing warm up sets, playing extremely long sets, playing late sets, playing early morning sets and I am very grateful for these times.
So you could say that this is a “retro-AMFM-show” and I am very curious to hear what you think - musically and tempo-wise, as I believe that the same vibe of the music is happening again today, obviously in a way more modern form and put together a little bit better. You always have to remember that a mix like this was basically done with just two turntables and a Rodec MX 180 mixing desk, where you had to train your finger muscles quite a bit in order to turn the EQs. I hope you enjoy this little throwback-in-time-issue of AMFM and I look forward to your thoughts about how far we have come in the last 23 years. Next week we´ll be back with a new set, until then have a great week everyone and happy listening!1995-11-24 - Chris Liebing @ Omen, Frankfurt (CLR Podcast 076, 2010-08-09)

Notes
"A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon an old box in my basement. In this box I found a tape (yes, one of these old things with two holes and actual tape on a reel) with a white sticker that showed "Omen 24.11.95" on it. I realized that on this Friday night, almost 15 years ago, I had my very first gig at the famous club.
At that time I was randomly DJing at little clubs and worked main time for EYE Q Records in Frankfurt, when I was asked by DJ Good Groove (at that time label manager at EYE Q) if I could fill in f! or DJ Pauli (today label manager of Cocoon Recordings), who suffered a stomach flu. It was Friday afternoon and I was basically the last person to get asked, since all other regular resident DJs didn't have time.
Of course I agreed, and lucky for me, the night went so well, that I quickly became a resident at this famous club in the heart of Frankfurt myself. In the last three years of this club (it had to close down in October 1998) I was able to play along some of the finest international guests and also opened various times for Sven and DJ Dag - as well as having my own nights, where I invited artists like for example Adam Beyer or The Advent. Looking back to these precious 3 years of my career, I would say it was the best DJ school one could ever ask for. I played warm up sets, long sets, short sets, peak time sets, morning sets and chill in and out sets, all in front of a knowing crowd on one of the best sound systems at that time.
So! it really is quite a discovery, which I made in my basement, ! and I am happy to be able to share this with you on our CLR Podcast." --Chris Liebing
