RA. 116 – Gerd Janson

We're not quite sure what to tell you about Gerd Janson to be honest. In his lengthy and witty answers to our questions below, he tells you just about everything you need to know about his philosophy on DJing, life, and the music business. The bottom line for the Frankfurt-based DJ, though, is that if you're taking things too seriously, you're seriously missing the point. 

Whether it be via his Running Back label, which has boasted releases by Mark E, Prosumer, and Todd Osborn; his DJ sets at the vaunted Robert-Johnson club in Frankfurt; as a music journalist; or as a team member of the Red Bull Music Academy, Janson's love of music is obvious. And, on his RA podcast, you'll hear how that love manifests itself in the house he grew up listening to at Mannheim's Milk Club, the cosmic disco he's been compiling on Sonar Kollektiv's Computer Incarnations for World Peace series, and even a cover of Ricardo Villalobos. (Or is that Gerd just joking around again?) It's an hour-and-a-half journey that you'll most likely want to take over and over again. [Read More]
