Tracklist:
Cloud Walker, Special, Zone In

Short info:
The inimitable LD Nero with his first outing for Running Back. Best-known for his merits on Trelik and a poetic sound which is distinctively his own, LD Nero immerses himself in a rare breed of deep house music that isn't classicist, yet dateless, emotional but not kitschy, and most of all meditative without drowsiness. Devoid of any second thoughts, these are three tracks made for those wee hours in the morning that may never end.

Tracklist:
A1 LD Nero - Friction Addiction A2 LD Nero - Gauge Pressure B1 LD Nero - Skip About B2 LD Nero - Let Your Body Speak (Instrumental)
Short info:
When an artist truly lets their music speak for them, there is no need for words. With his discography packed tight for the last 3 years and almost no information online, this seemed to be the case for LD NERO. So when he dropped 4 original tracks at our doorstep, we knew we had to pay attention. 'Let Your Body Speak' is LD NERO's EP debut on Get Physical, already appearing with his bombastic remix of Roland Leesker's 'My Warehouse' alongside Chris Liebing, Cardopusher, M.A.N.D.Y. and DJ T..

LD NERO's fresh and unique sound is abundant throughout the EP. First, the hyperactive 'Friction Addiction' gives us a good feel for what's to come, keeping it light while still delivering the steam (the digital version includes a FBK remix, definitely check that out as well). 'Gauge pressure', on the other hand, feeds a drip of deep bass bathed in bubbly percussion. 'Skip About' is a stripped down, straight-to-the-point kind of track, achieving a very diverse track. And finally, the title track growls along as the vocals guide our attention (you'll also find an instrumental version here). All in all, LD NERO has had no problem exploring new directions and serving up a brilliantly simple, effective, refreshingly unique sound. In fewer words, 'Let Your Body Speak' is bouncy, gritty tech-house to jump your late-night bones.

B1. So I Go Dancing (Gerd Janson DJ Remix)
B2. Things Can’t Go On Like This Forever (Freestyle Instrumental)
B3. Things Can’t Go On Like This Forever (Freestyle Beats)

Maximum vocal power and prime time dramatics by Chrissy and Carrie Wilds. The San Francisco based DJ and producer shows his stylistic versatility and technical capability to work with vocals, melodies and sound sources. Like a facsimile of the late 1980s house/freestyle record that you never owned, Things Can’t Go On Like This Forever ticks all the right boxes. Heartfelt vocals (by the great Carrie Wilds): check! Timely social message: check! Melodic euphoria: check! Old school house and true school freestyle flavor: check! Comes in various mixes and with a freestyle bonus beat special.

Additional airtime is given to the now classic Chrissy production So I Go Dancing. Done in a traditional remix fashion by Gerd Janson it highlights all the features of the original and again Carrie‘s enchanting voice, extends the included hysteria and adds a few snare rolls. Let‘s go dancing to brighten the darkness. Dance music in its purest and maybe most US-American form.

A1 Fiesta 2000 (2023 Remaster)
A2. Fiesta 2000 – Sally C Remix
B1. Hitter Mane
B2. Fiesta 2000 – Matisa Remix

Even a pandemic can have its upsides. Fiesta 2000 proves this debatable statement. Conceived by Raphael Schön during a Covid-19 lockdown and originally released in 2021 as part of I’ll Be The Energy on Freeride Millenium (*thanks, guys! Ed.), it is one of those godsend tracks that cannot be duplicated, recreated or planned. The prohibition of any kind of hedonism, the yearning for collective pleasure, post-teenage-angst and rave romanticism all make up this delicious cocktail. Now served again on the Running Back subsidiary Misfit Melodies and freshly remastered, it is a hard one to put down.

Especially, since it has been supplemented with the just as charming tearjerker Hitter Mane: melancholic, hopeful and motivating in equal parts. The original of Fiesta 2000 is also backed up by remixes from Matisa respectively Sally C (who directed Gerd Janson’s attention to the track in the first place). Both brilliant in their own right, Matisa shifts the track into turbo-mode that will please the ruff necks amongst you, while Sally C brings off the feat of uniting pumping house, breakbeats and balearic piano moments in one go. Fiesta forever and ever ever!

A1. Modern Romance (Dusky Remix)
A2. Modern Romance (Dusky Dub)
A3. Modern Romance (Bella Boo Remix)
B1. Modern Romance (Ryan Elliott Remix)
B2. Modern Romance (Ryan Elliott Instrumental)

Release Info:
No business, like show business; The happy pill that was the Catz ‘N Dogz liaison with Gerd Janson gets a remix treatment. Dusky, Bella Boo and Ryan Elliott put their respective and requested stamps on Modern Romance.

Ladies first: Bella Boo takes the upbeat piano house of the original into a deeper sphere. A square bass, a catchy marimba hook and some vocal sprinkles make for the aural equivalent of salted caramel. Next up are everyone’s favourite peak time sweepers Dusky who open the gates to the rave. Heavily influenced by the ingredients of the proto UK bass scenery (breakbeats, ragga bass sounds, life-affirming vocals) they place Modern Romance somewhere between N-Joi and Shut Up and Dance. If that is too much for you to swallow, Ryan Elliott might have the remedy. Ostgut Ton’s „best dressed chicken in town“delivers a sleek translation that is neat as a pin and wears the influence of his hometown Detroit proudly on the sleeve. „Help me find out, what I like…“

A1. Lille Vals (Original Mix)
A2. Lille Vals (Gerd Janson Talamanca Dub)
B1. Lille Vals (Patrick Topping Remix)
B2. Lille Vals (Ajaks Remix)

Shortinfo:

Storken’s „Lille Vals“ is among those type of infectious and addictive instrumentals that feel like songs without words, pop without divas or perfectly synthesized disco. Being the debut of a young and promising man from Sweden as, it received candid praise by dancers and DJs alike.
Originally „Lille Vals“ appeared as the centerpiece of Running Back’s One-swallow-sampler series, it earned its second spring on a dedicated 12inch release. Although still as much fun as the first time around, Storken’s precious little diamond gets a threepart remix treatment to season the dish. His fellow Ajaks offers a stripped down ans mesmerizing take that should make minimalists allergic sufferers of melodies happy. Newcastle’s power house Patrick Topping pulls out one of his tricks to beam it into his own world and brings out all the big elements to make it even – yes – bigger. Finally, Gerd Janson does the opposite and dubs out the highs and lows of the original to meet Augustus Pablo and Daniele Baldelli somewhere uptown.

A1. Modern Romance (Original Mix)
A2. Modern Romance (Instrumental)
B1. Modern Romance (Club Mix)
B2. Modern Romance (Gerd Janson’s Club Dub)

Shortinfo:
Despite all its terrible tragedies and hardships, the whole disaster that is 2020 has had its positive sides. One might have been Danny Howard’s Radio 1 Lockdown link up. The idea behind it: bring artists together that have never worked together due to time, place or opportunity. So when the dice were tossed for possible collaborations, you might want to think they were loaded.
The Catz ‘n Dogz liaison with Gerd Janson is just that obvious - as is the result. „Modern Romance“ translates to upbeat dance music that neither shies away from vocals nor pianos and is practically the antidote to any foul mood. Or as Gerd likes to put it: „The whole thing was already laid out by the dance music masters that are Catz ’n Dogz. All I had to do was to ask Mark Barrott to help out with some piano work and finish an arrangement. Voilá!“ House music that will sound as great in clubs and parties as it will on treadmills, or on your favorite means of transportation as it does on airwaves and did so on Danny Howards Radio 1 edition.

Tracklist
A1. Grouse
A2. Defy Me
B1. Revel
B2. Pang

Shortinfo:
The Helium Robots appearance on the Running Back subsidiary Misfit Melodies with one of their finest narratives so far. Subdued Neo trance and indie dance for fans of bicep curls and the border communities of yore. Or to use the words of the creator: The Grouse approaches, intent on witnessing Helium Robots release the ghouls and demons from their machines. What potent mix can this mean? Channeling the raw energy of their 2018 track Sly on Running Back, the monolithic baselines and surging, dense forces of Defy Me and The Grouse itself unfurl from the speakers. To mop fevered brows after those torrents, the alchemy changes to create the fuzzy warmth and bounce of Pang. Playful vocal samples flicker and weave through the chords, giving way to the final melodic flow of Revel. And we're done. The Grouse, unruffled, proudly turns and stalks away…

B2. Never

Shortinfo:
With the second record for Misfit Melodies and the fourth for the Running Back universe, Robert Dietz solidifies and hones his very own sound.
Heartfelt and emotive, a slice of lovers acid works as the prelude to an EP of IDM patterns, classic house tropes and something that is as much fun as it is funky. "Great Hormones at Bed Time" owes the same amount of money to Detroit as it does to Frankfurt am Main. Definitely no lullabies here.

B2. Droeni
Short info:
A warehouse jive for number 5 on Running Back's Misfit Melodies series. Introducing new artist and shrinking violet Pistachio, "Ilox" cuts house music out of a techno cloth and vice versa. One of three direct cuts between chord memories, distant voices and space echoes, complemented by a drone piece for the times before, after and in-between. Classic soundscapes with a modern drive. Nutritious as a nut.

B2. Deep Feat. Seebase (Dj Oyster Edit)


Short info:
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 D's sought-after magic moment "I Gave My Love", a collaboration with Mannheim's 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.
