The long overdue comeback of Shan on Running Back won’t disappoint fans new and old. Correctly captioned „Warehouse Vol. 1“, the EP with six tracks isn’t a tribute to the Chicago’s legendary club of the same name (with all respect due and even if that’s almost impossible). Shan’s sixth release for his home town label is rather a nod to all the nameless industrial spaces and places that played and still play a role as shelters and fertile soil for raw and ruff dance music. More a feeling and a sound aesthetic than a concrete set of rules, you will find ingredients as diverse as breakbeats, rave signals, Italo bass lines, Virgo-esque piano notes (Shifter) and uptempo grooves that all seem to be lifted from an overdriven early nineties mixtape by an unknown DJ: before, during and after the rave. Especially Abfahrt (German slang for rave) deserves special attention for connoisseurs of proto-jungle Rage house with big stabs and a Reese bass to die for. Works like a charm at any tempo and almost any peak time.

Be it italo- or post-diso, proto-house or the thumos of new wave, Shan’s capabilities as a producer and upbringings as an 80ies kid twinkle like a stroboscope on the record’s four tracks (five if you turn the virtual world). Included and leading the pack is \u003ci\u003eStück 4\u003c\/i\u003e. Surprisingly mistaken as a Cutting Crew cover \/ sample (no copyrights were harmed during the recording of this song), since it famously appeared in DJ GJ’s DJ sets, it definitely owes as much to dance pop as it does to the manner of revered contemporary Kölsch. Whatever it reminds you of, it’s ravey, romantic and rousing at the same time.

Like it’s successful predecessor, the tracks don’t re-invent the wheel, but cater to all the nameless spaces and places that made raving in defiant and derelict places fun. There is house that sounds like techno (Elevate) and vice versa. Seasoned with break beats (89 Swing or the Future Sound of London-esque Euphony) or breaks for love (Uplift My Spirit) and even dub sirens, it is almost impossible not to find something to suit the customer’s environment. The main focus of attention might be the jack of all trades called Phantazia. Wouldn’t have sounded out of place at the entertainment series of the same name, it melts proto hardcore harmonics with Soul II Soul type of strings and immediate call for „the action“. And as we all know, that always speaks louder than words.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Running Back","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50531134439755,"sku":"2215340","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/RBSHAN06_e592c9f7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728096092"},{"product_id":"run-tings-ep","title":"Run Tings EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhistles out: Shan returns to Running Back.
