A1. Phantazia
A2. 89 Swing
A3. Euphony
B1. Uplift My Spirit
B2. Elevate
B3. Love Tunnel
B4. Siren Tool

The second part in Shan’s warehouse series delivers more of the same – but that’s definitely a great thing, if the dish has a great taste. Like it’s successful predecessor, the tracks don’t re-invent the wheel, but cater to all the nameless spaces and places that made raving in defiant and derelict places fun. There is house that sounds like techno (Elevate) and vice versa. Seasoned with break beats (89 Swing or the Future Sound of London-esque Euphony) or breaks for love (Uplift My Spirit) and even dub sirens, it is almost impossible not to find something to suit the customer’s environment. The main focus of attention might be the jack of all trades called Phantazia. Wouldn’t have sounded out of place at the entertainment series of the same name, it melts proto hardcore harmonics with Soul II Soul type of strings and immediate call for „the action“. And as we all know, that always speaks louder than words.

A2. Strobelight
A3. Volume Up

B1. Textura
B2. R8000
B3. Shifter

Release Info:
Enshanté! The long overdue comeback of Shan on Running Back won’t disappoint fans new and old. Correctly captioned „Warehouse Vol. 1“, the EP with six tracks isn’t a tribute to the Chicago’s legendary club of the same name (with all respect due and even if that’s almost impossible). Shan’s sixth release for his home town label is rather a nod to all the nameless industrial spaces and places that played and still play a role as shelters and fertile soil for raw and ruff dance music.
More a feeling and a sound aesthetic than a concrete set of rules, you will find ingredients as diverse as breakbeats, rave signals, Italo bass lines, Virgo-esque piano notes (Shifter) and uptempo grooves that all seem to be lifted from an overdriven early nineties mixtape by an unknown DJ: before, during and after the rave.
Especially Abfahrt (German slang for rave) deserves special attention for connoisseurs of proto-jungle Rage house with big stabs and a Reese bass to die for. Works like a charm at any tempo and almost any peak time. Excuse the pun, but please: Join in the Shant!

Tracklist
A1. Stück 4
A2. Schlagzeug
B1. Valentino
B2. Holzboden


Shortinfo:
Shan’s fifth release on Running Back sees him wheeling towards the topical and permanent discourse of 1980s dance tropes. Be it italo- or post-diso, proto-house or the thumos of new wave, Shan’s capabilities as a producer and upbringings as an 80ies kid twinkle like a stroboscope on the record’s four tracks (five if you turn the virtual world). Included and leading the pack is „Stück 4“. Surprisingly mistaken as a Cutting Crew cover/sample (no copyrights were harmed during the recording of this song), since it famously appeared in DJ GJ’s DJ sets, it definitely owes as much to dance pop as it does to the manner of revered contemporary Kölsch. Whatever it reminds you of, it’s ravey, romantic and rousing at the same time. Turn to „Schlagzeug“ for a tool time treat and „Valention“ and „Holzboden“ to complete the picture. Sigue Sigue Shan!

Shortinfo:

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 Janson’s 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 Hour’s 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 Remarks: Stamped White Label
Tracklist: A. Chord Memories B1. Tool 1 B2. Tool 3 B3. Tool 4
You might remember Shan from his one-sided Sven-Väth-approved hit "How You Want It" for Frankfurt's 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.

Shortinfo:
Once upon a time, the footjob crew moved into a new studio space in their hometown Darmstadt. This location was previously used by a religious community that found its purpose in the worship of Shiloh.
Phonk D and Sascha Ciminiera have somehow absorbed the spirit and created this EP as if by magic. In order to enjoy this spiritual journey even more, they asked Johannes “the wizard” Albert for his support. He was immediatly hooked, threw a few herbs together and brewed them a tasty remix.

Shortinfo:

After being absent for a while, Glance is returning with a uncompromising authentic record on Footjob. It recently has become quieter around the man who used to be a founding member of Running Back, but for this occasion he went and dug in his archives and came back with some beautiful old tracks, just to compile them in a classic, full of groove second Footjob EP. As a bonus he finishes and ends the record with two Downbeat sounding songs in reminiscence of his former genre crossing alter ego Siro. So this goes out to all the realkeeper, oldschooler und newcats. Glance is back on the map.

B1. Lukas Lehmann & Pallaspeople - Jean-Pierre Papin
B2. Sascha Ciminiera - Don't Bring That Low

Shortinfo:
The producer crew around footjob completes catalogue number 12 with the first ever label-sampler, highlighting their love for a variety of styles. Le Rubrique starts the journey with an afro disco banger, followed by a funky piano piece from Phonk D and the jazz formation Triorität for all the old school lovers out there. The flipside continues with an extraordinary dancefloor filler by Lukas Lehmann and the label's own supergroup Pallaspeople. On the last track Sascha Ciminiera takes us into the deepness of meditative house music with a sexy sax line. You better cop that!

Tracklist:
A1. Q & H (Original Mix) A2. Q & H (Lorenz Rhode Remix)
B1. Solid / Fragile (Coexistence) B2. Nothing But A Heartache
Shortinfo:
With Lukas Lehmann, a new face joins the footjob-squad. Out of his estimated 7.436 unfinished projects, he managed to complete three tracks, bag a remix and bundle it all up to what will hit the stores as "This Is Why" EP.
The A-Side kicks off with the discoish banger "Q&H" and a beautiful synth-heavy remix by Lorenz Rhode - not only famous for his releases on Compost Records or Exploited but also for taking Detroit-Swindle-Liveshows to another level with his godlike keys-skills.
The deeper side of Lukas' sound is represented on the B-Side. Starting with edgy piano chords, "Solid/Fragile (Coexistence)" introduces an enchanting arpeggio midway through the track. With its distinctive strings, "Nothing But A Heartache" makes for a semi-sentimental yet still hips-moving finisher.

Tracklist:
A1. Lights (Original Mix) , A2. Lights (Tuff City Kids Remix)
B1. Lights (Phonk D Remix) , B2. Lights (Tuff City Kids Dub)

Shortinfo:
Sascha Ciminiera is a familiar face from Footjob, member of the label's own Supergroup "Pallaspeople" and also famous for his tasty Bolognese sauce. With "Lights" he created a dreamy balearic tune that found its way into Gerd Janson's Groove Podcast. As a consequence, Janson and his partner in crime Phillip Lauer AKA Tuff City Kids played around with the 808 and turned it to a great dancefloor version. Phonk D completed the jubilee release with a classic House rework and on top, the Tuff City Kids Remix is added as a dub version.

A2. Who Came To Boogie (Phonk D Remix)
B1. Jack Your House
B2. Buzz The Doctor

Shortinfo:
No one else but one of Chicago's finest DJ Lil 'Tal is responsible for the ninth Footjob release. The underground veteran has brought himself to attention in the 90s by releasing on the legendary label Dance Mania.
"Who Came To Boogie" on the A-side is a pretty disco loop combined with tight and uncompromising drums - undeniably an ear-piercing banger - followed by the label owner Phonk D's insane filtered remix version.
The B-side consists of the rough, reduced-to-minimal drum track "Jack Your House" plus the funky sample tune "Buzz The Doctor" with a beat that makes your dancing feet run straight to hospital.

Shortinfo:
Phonk D connects with his buddy Le Rubrique. They created three real floor bangers with some heavy punch. Raw MPC drums, disco samples and classic synths melt into a deep funky mixture. As a very special goodie they could team up with the great Borrowed Identity, who contributed a pretty nice remix to this EP. Watch your feet!

Info:
You could not miss the 4/4 Kickdrum during the 90s in the Rhein-Main-Area around Frankfurt/Germany. Therefore Phonk D's first attempts on House and Techno were pretty successful during this period. But his feet being too big for just one dancefloor he developed a taste for Funk, Disco and Hiphop, too. So all these influences kept on working together and - as a result - in 2014 he founded his own label "Footjob". Three records have been released so far, all of them collaborations with friends, and now no.4 is ready to take off - being Phonk D's first solo project: Expect some heavy Phonk to get your foot-job done!
