havamal inspired briton will flisk takes his filmic approach to music to the streets with his first output on our curious little imprint. with the help of good friend black merlin (george thompson) on synths and drum machines and natasya hodges on cello, this amazingly orchestrated title track (red planet) takes us to different planets and back, even though our money is too short for commercial space travel. nashville, tennessees very own grey people (alex j michalski) works his distortion on a sinister remix (b1) thats leaning towards the more techno side of things. for the b2, will bestowed an amazing bit of roughness upon us.

the one and only radio slave is back on rb. this time with retro futuristic breakbeat-house and -techno. children of the e comes in two mixes for different moods and some locked grooves for double copy wizardry. inspired by the london warehouses of yesterday, fuelled by evian bottles and made in a fog horn frenzy. or as the man himself puts it: matt edwards goes back to his roots with children of the e: just another white kid from catford. ultimately, were all children of the e(arth)!

running backs 50th anniversary comes courtesy of redshape. after his utilitarian bonuz beatz effort earlier this year, the masked man is back on the monolithic techno tip. graced with a sense of tradition and a modern stlye of execution, leaves is the sort of warehouse rave signal that exceeds the sole purpose of a tool. speaking of which, it comes in two different mixes to choose from accompanied by two unclothed versions for the creative dj mind.

todd osborn ftw again. this time with music to go with the beats: acid, house, idm and lots of fun. starts with two mixes of put your weight on it. one for lazy djs from frankfurt and a shorter one for hard working windy city selectors - in any case heavy stuff. flip features the softer side of the michigan maestro with the downtempo love poem medium and the contemplative markert. todd is g(o)od.

late night running is a rotterdam-based multidisciplinary initiative that is created out of sympathy for those who are willing to run hard for their beliefs. when one is sucked through the barriers of time, where days become nights and vice versa, we like to speak of late night running. the first physical effort out of the lnr camp comes in the form of a nicely designed 12inch by the likes of 25 places. this duo has its roots in the working class city of rotterdam, but also lived elsewhere for some time, working long nights in the advert industry. theyve been based in berlin for several months in 2012, where the x9 ideas were first create

dial rb+47 for telephones! known for his releases on sex tags ufo and full pupp as well as dapper facial hair, the norwegian berliner graces running back with an island fantasy of his very own. immured in the sands between the beaches of rimini and sant antoni, the ocean called ep evokes the lucid dreams and hazy visions that pale club kids allways had of these places. think vintage irma and calpyso records done in a modern way, or tony humphries in swimming trunks. four tracks, four waves of joy well as rhythm tools and cool spots. barefoot in the head 4ever.

hand stamped white label. you might remember shan from his one-sided sven-väth-approved hit how you want it for frankfurts newly founded label the healing company. here he is with his monolithic chord memories. an evocation of what dubbed out house and techno tracks usually do, but to a rather unusual and - if we dare say - devastating effect. the flip holds three short and direct cuts with leanings to the a-side and one acid track. necessary ruffness.

running back veteran mark e returns with a tribute to the uks black country and an ode to the industrial revolution. the images and histories of coal mines, steel mills and iron foundries north and west of birmingham and south and east of wolverhampton lay the foundation of the three track ep (including a work break siren). being a product of his environment, mark e delivers lots of sooty particle house music with a glimpse of sunshine. bostin!

teamed up with running back for a vinyl release, bubbletease communications releases are defiantly infrequent, reflecting boss man maurice fultons desire to only release personal projects and those hes somehow had a hand in. given fultons track record, this approach guarantees a high quality threshold in truth, bubbletease releases are rarely less than excellent. this four-tracker from tokyo-based dj nori, co-produced by fulton, is predictably impressive.

the one and only disco nihilist is moving forward.mike taylors second ep for running back is turning the curve ball of the first into a wild pitch (if baseball metaphors are your thing). 4 tracks across the disco nihilist spectrum: the rare cheerfulness of house rent boogie is backed up with a classic and no-nonsense rz-1 beat symphony that is aptly titled beatdown drums,while the flip presents the masked mania of film grain and some grumpy grittiness with operator select. mastered and cut in the us of a by legendary engineer mark richardson at prairie cat.

after the trippy translations of the helium robot space trip called jarza, theo parrishs second and very welcomed visit to running back is all new material - almost. black mist in its extended version is just that: an extended take of the already released version on the rare-as-hens-teeth sketches pack. cut on 45, its a hard punch in the gut. techno-not-techno-house-not-house parrish power. previously unreleased and no less persuasive are pop off and wild out. while the first one centers around an endless piano and sucks you into the corny, but magic of repetition, the second one sounds like a theo parrish demo for dance mania after he came back from listening to lil louis at the bismark pavilion. mosh pit music. limited pressing in full printed sleeves.

short version: swedish new school electronic disco music. one side with vocals by kicki halmos and a melancholic swing, the other one is slightly man parrish-ish and features viking muscle beats. both tweaked, edited and mixed by a certain terje olsen from another viking country. long version: during a long and cold night in stockholm some moons ago, a mysterious 7? was given to running backs chief a&r. he liked it so much that he wanted to convince the world of its greatness, got more copies, played them back to back, gave it out to djs and producers and there a certain terje olsen decided that he could prolong the all too short 7inch versions into a 12inch. and here we are. original versions released on drifter sthlm by samo forsberg. do some popping, locking & down-dogging!
