Gerd Janson is one of the two founding pillars, along with Thornsten Scheu, of the German label Running Back. Also known as the DJs DJ, RBMA lecturer and master behind the decks, he’s put out releases for Theo Parish and Todd Terje. But Janson is no record exec in a suit; he is a prolific and wildly talented DJ with a taste for the kind of simmering beats, and slow builds that others dream of. Expect the finest in house, disco and techno. For this one-off party, he’s DJing alongside mutant house aficionado and Annie Mac fave, Krystal Klear (Rinse FM / Hoya:Hoya).
