Based in the Netherlands and strongly associated with the Clone complex, Gerd has been releasing countless tracks and records since the dawn of the nineties. A true child of the "techno" Zeitgeist back then, he is keeper of a dozen monikers, project names and joint ventures that tend to connect the dots between house and techno, functionality and avantgarde electronics. Gerd's frame of mind is second to none, when it comes to sound research, inspiration and imagination. For Running Back he decided to put his own spin on some of the label's signature dishes. The opener "Dance of Enjoyment" is exactly that. Based on a cleared sample from Shakira by Quinton Madlala and imported by early South African kwaito and house, it is exactly that. Life-affirming dance-floor fun or pogo time for piano people. "Let the Music Take Control" dials the peak time slightly back to being a party starter with its retro-futuristic speak and spell command and some evergreen breakbeats. An additional DJ tool allows to spread the gospel elsewhere, too. Speaking of which, the flipside deals with that in the realm of an Italian influenced theme park. Sitting neatly between the disco and the house appendix of "Italo," "Change Of Heart" and "Digital Illusion" are sugar frosted and masterful produced versions of a style that might never go out of fashion. Earnest characters might be happy with the included bonus beats on their own. All's well that ends well: Gerd and Running Back are here to save a party near you!
