Some cases of pro quid quo are better than others: Gerd Janson released Helium Robots' biggest record to date on his beloved Running Back label earlier this year. In return, Tuff City Kids - his production group with Phillip Lauer - were drafted to remix the second single from the UK duo's forthcoming debut LP. It's a sensible combination from an aesthetic angle as well, as all involved have love for the kind of 80s synths that evoke memories and send you on an online shopping spree. TCK's remix maintains the high standard set by their rework of Massimiliano Pagliara [...]

Lauer: "Coppers" Phillip Lauer, one half of acclaimed duo Arto Mwambe, is ready to drop his debut album "Phillips" next week on one of our favourite labels Running Back . The twelve songs on this album have been described as "808 State kissing Movin Records while Cluster are in the room - or a Dolby NR tempest", and the result is quite impressive. It's a brilliant album from start to finish, which blends so many dance elements. Ahead of its release, you can stream "Phillips" in its entirety below, and in [...]

I always say "Yes!" when speaking of Tensnake remixes. Here's a new treatment for Lauer's single, 'Trainman'. Lauer's debut album entitled 'Phillips' will be released sometime in April. Woo!
German house producer Tensnake doesn't seem to ever put a foot wrong and today's cuts of house are prime examples of his ever-rising star. Check out his re-edit of Radiohead's seminal track 'Everything'. And he's got a new remix for Lauer's 'Trainman'. The German producer Lauer will release his debut solo album in April on Gerd Janson's Running Back label.

Here's a preview of Tensnake's great new remix of Lauer's "Trainman". The German producer (Phillip) Lauer, best known for his work with Christian Beißwenger as Arto Mwambe, will release his debut solo album in April on Gerd Janson's Running Back label. The record will be called "Phillips", and you can hear the album's opening track "70000ac" below, accompanied by a NSFW video from Holger Wüst, the man responsible for the visual art at the Robert Johnson nightclub. Looking forward.

Its time to get the hype engines fired up again as we get snippets of another Tensnake remix dropping around the interwebz. This one will be dropping on the excellent Running Back label for the increasingly popular LAUER who did a lovely remix for us over at Needwant.

Tensnake's brand new remix of Lauer's "Trainman" is out soon on Running Back Records. Sounding great as usual!

[Live At Robert Johnson] The past few years in dance music have suggested that no one can do house quite like Americans: no matter where your favorite contemporary house records were coming from, there's a good chance their warm chords and reverent drum programming wouldn't have been possible were it not for Detroit, Chicago, and New York. But while the steady stream of amazing records flowing out of Frankfurt institution Robert Johnson's [...]

As if to add icing to the preview of Session Victim's LP debut which we were treated to yesterday, The Boiler Room today announced the expected release of a full body of original works from Lauer, likely to hit shelves around April. If the lone preview track Miamisync is anything to go by, the elusive producer's foray into uncharted territory via Running Back , promises to be a stylish disco affair. mp3. Lauer - Miamisync [...]

Have been feelin' this track for a long time, even dropped the OG back in February on Beats in Space before it even had a name. The title track comes backed by a brilliant refix courtesy of Tuff City Kids, also known as Gerd Janson (Running Back) and Phillip Lauer (Arto Mwambe), that channels the lush pop vibe of the original and warps things in a 80's-era house workout complete with synth strings, guitars and a brand new groove. Not a bad combo eyh? lovely trax, the Tuff City Kids really have been on fire of [...]
Just was sent this banging Tech House mix from my boy Justin. Formerly of the DU men's lacrosse team, Jingo is taking the DC area clubscene by storm. No surprise when he throws a solid mix like this together in under an hour. Peep it below. Download: PBJ Exclusive Tech Mix - DJingo [...]
Lauer's really making a name for himself at the moment, constantly tampering with new styles...expect the unexpected! Two things that are consistent are the quality and constant references... DOWNLOAD/ STREAM http://www.feelmybicep.com

01. Hercules & Love Affair, "My House" [Mochi Mochi Recordings] ( buy ) Although Hercules & Love Affair is best known as a disco group, Andrew Butler often worked elements of influential American house music into their songs. In fact the band's first single since 2008 is the spiritual successor to their charged Chicago house track, "You Belong." "My House" seems to inch forward in time to the late '80s and early '90s and integrates touches of a New York sound in its Windy City foundation. Its mellifluous bass and dexterous percussion form [...]

[ Live At Robert Johnson ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Phillip Lauer's day job consists of running Brontosaurus Records, forming respective halves of Arto Mwambe and Tuff City Kids, and still finding the time to release his own records as Lauer. Considering the spread of his interests he still manages to pack each of his releases with what you feel is something a little bit extra. His latest 123 for Live At Robert Johnson carries all of Lauer's hallmark consistencies in the graceful, melancholic groove of "H.R. [...]
