after keeping an eye on shan as a desired candidate for a while now, we proudly announce to launch his latest release via footjob. his records on running back, beats in space & the healing company during the last 5 years were critically well received and put him on the musical map - a highly gifted producer who’s capable of going into many directions. his “filterjob ep” takes us back to the golden era of sample house. driving beats combined with filtered disco melodies never get out of style. if anyone it’s shan who’s able to play with this type of sound and manages to deliver three superb dance floor bangers in filterjob, on & on and serious. to rounds things up, the ep finishes with a raw and dusty deep house banger called ruff draft pt.2

whistles out: shan returns to running back. with his fourth ep for the imprint to date, he delivers his typical dance-floor-proof, peak-time ready and subtle rave signaling house sound. informed and inspired by the playfulness of the smiley culture days, english summer and gerd jansons boiler room premiered favorite „who run tings, mark the raydon airfield side, while take me to the top and the club mix of awakenings (the original appeared as a contribution to rush hours musik for autobahns series) take over the warehouse business. simple, yet smart, effective and euphoric, this is music for djs and strobe light honeys alike.

special request returns via gerd janson & shans studio, as they completely re-build both brainstorm and make it real across four frenzy-inducing incendiary versions custom made for sending the rave over the edge

in 2015, midland watched gerd janson close panorama bar. the way he played that night and the energy he held in the room inspired him to go home and write some music influenced by the experience. the tracks that followed was the first release on regraded. fast forward three releases, in a taxi to an airport gerd mentioned he might have some demos for the label that he had been working on with shan. what followed was a pair of tracks that perfectly encapsulate what the label is about, soundtracking the moments of the night and day when everyone on the dance floor feels like a family.

round two of classic todd terry tracks reworked by shan & gerd janson!

benjamin fröhlichs 2016 ep rude movements gets the remix treatment by some of his favourite artists: permanent vacation long time collaborator and partner in crime lauer tugs amos in with a very cosy frankfurt trance blanket, while running back regular shan pulls out the curls of holloway thanks to his magic styling iron. the result: a pumping and string heavy affair. on the flipside brusselss wunderkind cleveland delivers an energizing and mesmerizing breakbeat version of ghost orchid for the magic moments in life. while siss finest jack pattern come correct with a cosmic disco reinterpretaion of spitting image

for his maiden voyage through space, shan (victor shan, if it matters to you, and it should) offers good to me, a pair of revelatory dancefloor productions inspired by many a long night and early morning spent at the legendary frankfurt institution robert johnson. a finely-tuned specimen of durable, architectural sampling, the 12” title track runs a rigorous course of breakbeat rhythms and classic chords while a diva’s pleas are made and answered within seven minutes of perfect primetime rave. on the flip, shan churns through metallic stabs and primed drum sequences for the devious “version 1.” shan spent close to four years perfecting “version 1” through various dancefloor demos, no more evident than in the stunning arc of this sought after jam.

some things just get better with age. house grooves vol. 1 mark a part in history, where a young move d felt ignited by the classic house music sounds of the day. strict rhythms and nu grooves forged masterful networks with bleeps and clonks, pianos helped synthesizing dopamine and the phuture was wide open. house grooves vol.1 embodies that special time and place with a bunch of vintage tracks saved from the abyss. respectfully edited and dusted with gloves, it features move ds sought-after magic moment i gave my love, a collaboration with mannheims house hero see-base, the bass line swing of babyphonk and a breakbeat-led remix by shan & gerd janson that tries to sound like it could have happened back them. the bottom line is: the past can make the future feel at home.

shan s third outing for running back is an ode to a time when * house* was characterized by old grooves and nu ones alike. here you get a well-rounded treatment for the times before, during and after the rave. break beats included. featured in gerd jansons fabric 89 mix.

second shan release on running back. this one has chicagos jack, leanings of new york garage dubs, miami bass methodology and breakbeat led rave signals all on one record and made for the dancing publics benefit. includes the infamous piano mix as heard in the boiler room with ata and gerd janson back in november 2014. you better work!

there are two things, that really set terre des pommes apart from all other labels with all their cool dj friends : a: no cool dj friends, b: the ceo himself aka saap really listens to all demos he receives, honestly.. to him running a label is all about fresh blood and unexpected new talents! even when it comes to remixers.. no wonder the lucky chaps that go by the beautiful name of schlango mango hit the jackpot when hiding a minidisc in saaps daily italian food delivery.. still chewing on spuma di pizza-schnitzel the boss called them up and made the deal.. schlango mango met gerd janson and shan at a lan party in the shire. they shared similar interests.. the rest is histology ..

*mouth* follows acclaimed lead single *giudecca* that was reworked by factory floors gabe gurnsey. now, with running back co-founder and tuff city kid gerd janson – often referred to as the djs dj – and his label affiliate shan on remix duties across club, instrumental, 808 culture dub and acid versions, *mouth* is set to propel ghost culture to new heights and further establish his well earned position as one of the most accomplished new acts on the musical landscape.

steady pulsating bassline driven house tracks with a little nodd to the house sound of chicago. great release on this small german label who so far was under the radar and only sold in some local german stores. recommended by roman fluegel.

some asked for an instrumental version of that future classic. here it is, and to make it complete the record comes with another fine warehouse mix by victor himself and a bangin techno remix from the almighty tuff city kids.

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.

radius continues its superradio series with one of the deeper but bigger tracks from the superradio catalogue. every self respecting disco dj has hammered this gem for years. catch by sun la shan. the best way to describe this track is to picture yourself visage and moroder working out together in a gym staring at a blondie poster. catch is most definitely a seminal piece of work combining disco and new wave in a sexy and sleazy molotov cocktail. the ep comes with a stripped down dub version and a disco devil remix. also hailing from gent, belgium, where radius is based, disco devil stayed quite close to the original vibe with minimal synth efficiency and equally sleazy vocals. catch is sexy!

running back will mark its fifteenth anniversary with the release of its first label compilation, the running back mastermix, in september. as befitting the celebration of a landmark year in the life of gerd jansonÆs widely adored imprint, janson has invited one of house musicÆs original & greatest proponents of the mastermix, nycÆs tony humphries, to curate and mix the cd & digital editions of the compilation, accompanied by an unmixed double-lp which features a handful of the compilations rare & exclusive cuts. the mastermix is a timely reminder of what has made running back endure and remain at the top of many house music fansÆ favourite label lists for over a decade. beginning with todd terjeÆs blockbuster æragyshÆ and traversing tracks from across the labelÆs history, it includes contributions from long time label regulars alongside more recent additions and reminders of some of rbÆs best reissues. label mainstays tiger & woods, matthew styles, redshape and leon vynehall all appear, alongside mr g, paul woolford and recent breakthrough artists shan, jex and roy camanchero. tiger & woodsÆs ædonÆt hesitateÆ appears on vinyl for the first time, while the dixon edit of precious systemÆs anthem æthe voice from planet loveÆ will be available on wax again after only appearing on a super limited 12&#8243,,,, run the first time around. the choice of tony humphries to mix the compilation is a significant one.

bunkr enslave dust-coated synthesizers, dilapidated drum machines and rusty fx boxes to craft 4/4 tunes for their impatient overlords. their vision is clear they will make techno, they will make house, they will make electronica, and you will listen and dance. its not yet clear if bunkr is the work of one frenzied human or many lazy individuals but we do know one thing - the ringleader is one james dean, who previously released as lost idol on labels such as pork recordings, nature, final frontier and cookshop. following a prolonged spell of writing music at slow tempos, dean initiated bunkr as a reactionary desire to speed things up. too much time had been spent just sitting around - it was time to stop sitting and start dancing. true to their vision, here we have cloud chaser, a bubbling jam backed with a huge remix from shan, who flips the mix with dramatic strings, sprinkles of magic dust and massive amen breaks. no less impressive is junos revenge, a track youd turn up on your headphones while taking a nice afternoon stroll on the moon, on a sunny morning after a long interplanetary rave. igor tipura delivers the rework, complete with a marching percussion workout and acid chemtrails that will send you right back to 1993.

five point after dark is the first release of the new label called katnip owned by larry de kat. it contains five suave productions ranging from hiphop to house and back. this ep has a sincere vibe and should appeal to the real connaisseur with its diverse and unique track selection. we can guarantee you will have some good times listening to this music be it in the club, on the road or just relaxing at home. for the baddest cats only.

theres a bit of a story to side a. in 1996, jd twitch released a 12inch by manchesters bryn jones aka muslimgauze on his then label pi recordings.

a fresh and exclusive collection of music compiled by gerd janson. music for autobahns 2, ambient race car music!!

tensnake s standard in the end (i want you to cry) release gets not one, but seven remixes. a nod to the good old remix double pack craze of the nineties, you will find them spread out over two plates. ranging from a classic tiger & woods treatment to prins thomas quirkiness via lone s happiness, two versions by shan, the timid dj oyster as well as pete herberts & dicky trisco s respectful re-arrangement, this one has it all: disco, techno, jungle (alomost!), house, cheese & chocolate!

die beiden frankfurter phillip lauer und gerd janson haben sich für diese 12inch mit ihrem kumpel shan zusammengetan, dessen club hits how you want it und chord memories noch in aller ohren sind, um zwei roughe power house cuts zu fabrizieren. zusätzlich gibts noch einen alternativ mix und die cole rabies beats, für all die kreativen auflegemeister. a tuff city kids delight.
