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.

Zanzibar born, Sheffield-based vocalist Mim Suleiman has teamed up with producer Maurice Fulton for new LP Si Bure, via his BubbleTease Communications imprint.

All of Fulton's hallmarks are there, from deliciously phased bass licks to rubbery funk synths, and Suleiman's incredible singing marries perfectly with the full-fat funk. Wewe is plush, warm, '80s-inflected but rendered in pristine high definition, the kind of jam that would achieve crossover success in a just world. There are many other shades to this record beyond party bangers. Uutu is a beautiful, beatless lullaby of cascading arps and swooning pads underpinned by a roaming, rounded bass undulation. Patosha also benefits from a gentle approach, with Suleiman as a kind of celestial voice calling out over a wide open plain. Her percussion intertwines with Fulton's electronic sprites in a beautiful symbiosis, while carefully placed piano chords drop a hint of bombast that remains just the right side of tasteful.

That said, this definitely an album to get up and move to. Kumenora and Usiogope are straight-up house tracks, albeit less thrilling than the hopped-up kuduro thump of "Aruka." Fulton's production strikes a sensitive cultural balance, fusing his style with Suleiman's in a way that never feels forced.
