  • Running Back has announced details of a mix and compilation project focused on the sounds of Front, the legendary Hamburg club. Open from 1983 to 1997, Front was one of the first European clubs to embrace house and other then-cutting edge forms of dance music. For this Running Back Mastermix—out next month—two residents, Klaus Stockhausen and Boris Dlugosch, picked out and mixed music representing Front's "most cherished records and sweetest moments," as label boss Gerd Janson puts it in an introduction. The project is an expansive one, taking the form of a two-CD mix with 37 total tracks and a pair of unmixed vinyl double-packs—one for disco and proto house, the other for classic house. Everything will get a digital release, as well. Also on the way are entries in the label's Super Sound Singles series for Üdytü Ützeltürk And His Male Harem's tune "Kairo" and for Dlugosch remixes of Syncbeat's "Music." While Janson never made it to the club, he says recordings of DJ sets at Front formed a key part of his "musical diet" as a teenager living in the outskirts of Frankfurt in the early '90s and helped to shape his own approach behind the decks.
