Running Back

Running Back is a German House & Techno record label that was founded by Gerd Janson and Thorsten Scheu. It is now solely run by Gerd Janson. Also known as Running Back Records, this label has become synonymous with quality electronic music.

With a focus on House and Techno genres, Running Back has consistently released music from some of the most talented artists in the industry. The label prides itself on its diverse roster, showcasing both established names and emerging talents.

As an authoritative figure in the electronic music scene, Running Back has gained a reputation for its exceptional taste and discerning curation. With their distinct sound and attention to detail, they have created a catalog of releases that resonate with fans worldwide.

Finally, it‘s happening: the other Gerd appears on Running Back. Not counting in his remix for Losoul‘s Open Door and not to be confused with the label owner Gerd Janson. Based in the Netherlands and strongly associated with the Clone complex, Gerd has been releasing countless tracks and records since the dawn of the nineties. A true child of the 'techno' Zeitgeist back then, he is keeper of a dozen monikers, project names and joint ventures that tend to connect the dots between house and techno, functionality and avantgarde electronics. Gerd‘s frame of mind is second to none, when it comes to sound research, inspiration and imagination.&nbsp;

For Running Back he decided to put his own spin on some of the label’s signature dishes.&nbsp;

The opener Dance of Enjoyment is exactly that. Based on a cleared sample from Shakira by Quinton Madlala and imported by early South African kwaito and house, it is exactly that. Life-affirming dance-floor fun or pogo time for piano people.

Let the Music Take Control dials the peak time slightly back to being a party starter with its retrofuturistic speak and spell command and some evergreen breakbeats. An additional DJ tool allows to spread the gospel elsewhere, too.

Speaking of which, the flipside deals with that in the realm of an Italian influenced theme park. Sitting neatly between the disco and the house appendix of “italo“, Change Of Heart and Digital Illusion are sugar frosted and masterful produced versions of a style that might never go out of fashion. Earnest characters might be happy with the included bonus beats on their own. All’s well that ends well: Gerd and Running Back are here to save a party near you!
