Interviewer
Gerd Janson
Holding a residency at the world-renowned house music shrine that is Robert Johnson. Reviewing the latest 12” releases for German music reads SPEX and Groove. And, of course, releasing some of today’s most tantalizing, daring, sexy dance music on his own Running Back label – it’s all in a day’s work for Gerd Janson.
