Feat. New Releases in House
Reconnection
The special one! Mr. Gs productions are distinctive, deep, driving and, above all, a listen to behold. Like the man-machine interface between hypno house and roots techno, he manages to unite dance floors either through his High Mass-like live sets full of swing, grit and soul, or simply through other DJs playing his records. Blessing Running Back for the second time, Mr. Gs Reconnection EP is the result of a serious dive into his vaults. City Heat (Gs Underground Dub) is a picture-perfect example of his skill to groove without a doubt: raw, funky and fabulous. Serendipity and Work on the flip side complete this picture. Decades of record buying, music making and a love supreme for this culture rolled into one. Made yesterday, released today, and it will still sound great tomorrow. A personal gift from Mr. Gs archive to Running Back.

Feat. Staff Picks in Electronica
Obsolescence
Welcome to Pfefferkorn: a countryside studio hidden inside a former 1950s café. The stylish interior stayed, the cake display is gone, but the mountain panorama is still very much in place. Out of this unlikely combination cameObsolescence,Featers new album and a record that wasnt supposed to happen, but insisted on doing so anyway.Originally, Pfefferkorn hosted a merry-go-round of guests and genres: jazz, kraut, pop, experiments, even the occasional field recording. Among the many, Mara Oldofredi aka Mietze Conte became the most frequent and inspiring visitor. Their sessions set sparks, and one of them, Trio, landed directly on the album.The method? Call it instant archaeology: live jams on two-track tape, then pushed through edits, resampling, Fairlight IIX sorcery, and endless tape-laptop relays. Quick, raw, and without too much overthinking, more sketch than sculpture, more instinct than intent.The result isObsolescence,a record born out of detours, made for personal delight, and proof that side products can be main courses if you let them.
