Frankfurt’s Gerd Janson is one of electronic music’s most genuine and humble characters. It was on a Boy Scout trip, of all places, where he caught dance music fever upon hearing a Sven Väth mixtape, and Janson’s career in music has the air of an innocent adventure, fuelled by an ardent curiosity. In order to get closer to the music he loved, he became a “fanboy music journalist”, writing for magazines such as Groove, Spex and Ouk, and not long after buying a pair of decks and a mixer with his brother, found himself DJing at parties and local clubs. But in the early 00s, a residency at the renowned Robert Johnson club allowed him to really flourish as a DJ, and his profile has risen steadily ever since. Running Back, the label he co-founded with Thorsten Scheu, has charted Janson’s impeccable yet unpredictable taste over this period. Taking in everything from Mark E’s low-slung disco cut-ups, through to KiNK’s high-octane tech workouts, the imprint’s discography reads as a who’s-who of underground house music, paying testament to his unrivalled ear and the esteem in which he is held amongst his artistic peers
