Steel Horse x Strange Brew presents Gerd Janson

Steel Horse X Strange Brew collab to host Gerd Janson’s debut set at Brew. Gerd Janson is a staple of Italo Disco, House and Techno. This is due in no small part to his work as the brain behind the Running Back label, an imprint that has been a home to numerous artists over the years. It’s testament to Janson’s curatorial instinct that music both popular – Tensnake, Todd Terje – and cult – Maurice Fulton, Theo Parrish – feel right at home. There are few labels that have put out an EP that contains two tracks that made it on Resident Advisor’s end-of-year list and a 12-inch that boast “Professional Sound Effects.” In addition to his work helming Running Back, Janson has also teamed up with Philip Lauer under the Tuff City Kids alias. Originally taken on as a remix project, the partnership has quickly evolved to include original productions that have seen release on Unterton and Delsin. Their work together is classic-leaning – unpretentious and hugely effective on the dance floor. Steel Horse (aka Señor Chugger) is a local whose productions have caught Gerd’s attention and have been released on Running Back. The bedroom producer’s music has also been shared by pioneering labels in contemporary Italo such as Slow Motion Records, Moustache Records, Bordello A Parigi and Red Laser Records. Warming up alongside Steel Horse will be Acid Love Letters. This is the alias of a veteran producer whose iconic 303s can be found on Hypercolour Records and will give Strange Brew's front windows a run for their money.
