As we reach our thirtieth release, we are extremely happy to present a true legend in the history of electronic music. From the early nineties and onwards, Robert Leiner and his moniker, The Source Experience, was one of the most influential producers on the burgeoning global techno scene. While living in Sweden, he was already a great inspiration to the local techno scene. Soon he relocated to Belgium and to the prominent R&S Records.

His 1993 album, 'Organized Noise', is a milestone in techno history. A long row of albums and singles on R&S Records and their sub-labels followed and he soon found himself working together with artists such as CJ Bolland, Juan Atkins, Lenny Dee and LFO. Robert soon became one of the most sought after artists and was regularly DJ-ing and playing live to ecstatic crowds at legendary clubs such as: Drum Club, Lost, The End and Return to the Source in the UK, E-Werk, Tresor and Ultraschall in Germany, Fuse in Belgium and Liquid Room in Japan; only to name a few. His appearances at festivals and events like Roskilde and Quarts Festival, Dance Valley, Tribal Gathering and Mayday made him a sure favourite with the festival crowd as well as the techno masses. Additionally, for consecutive years he was a regular guest at Australia's Earthcore festival, which lay ground to his huge popularity down under.

Apart from his own material, he is also known for his remixes of Jam & Spoon's masterpiece "Stella" as well as Front 242's side project, Male or Female and Juno Reactor, just to mention a few.

Towards the end of the nineties, Robert gradually decided to part from R&S due to the lack of artistic freedom and return after years of techno exile in Belgium to his hometown, Gothenburg.

Lately it has been somewhat quiet from Robert Leiner and The Source experience, but he is busy setting up his own new label and working on a new album.

It is very hard to pinpoint Robert in any musical genre since his productions float in between techno, trance, tribal and electronica. His new single on Spiral Trax is no exception! 'Hook' is a fantastic piece of tech-trance while on the flip there is a new mix of 'Roots FM1' that was featured on our Ease Division compilation.
