Description
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, Collabs 3000: Metalism, the original classic pure techno album and first full-length
collaboration between techno innovators Chris Liebing and Speedy J, is remastered and reissued via NovaMute.
Originally launched by Speedy J (aka Jochem Paap) as a platform for 12” collaborations with other artists, the Collabs series
laid the groundwork for what would become one of techno’s most compelling partnerships. The first release with Chris
Liebing, Collabs 300 (featuring &Trick_& / ‘Treflon_’), landed in 2004 to a rapturous response; its machine-funk intensity and
unmistakable breakdowns helped define the sound of early 2000s techno whilst revealing a writing and production chemistry
that demanded a larger playground for their work.
That creative spark ultimately manifested in Collabs 3000: Metalism, a landmark record for techno. Combining the pair’s
mastery of subversive electronics and peak-time techno, the album remains a career highlight for both artists: a smouldering
collision of taut techno rhythms, sonic abstraction, and, as the title suggests, robust metallic beats.

The 20th anniversary edition of this timeless techno masterpiece has been fully remastered by Liebing himself and is
available on CD and for the first time on vinyl across 2 discs.
