Gerd Janson has mixed fabric 89, which is coming out August 19th. The Running Back boss includes tunes from Traumprinz, John Talabot and Joe Claussell in his 16-track selection. "Recording mixes is always very painful for me—especially if I know that someone is going to spend money on it," says the Running Back founder. "My self-confidence as a DJ is at gutter level, and doing one for fabric, as part of a series amongst the best of the best, is quite intimidating. Plus, it's a club, so I shied away from my tried-and-tested mixtape method of boring people for the first 74 minutes. I ended up choosing some records that I played and enjoyed a lot over the last few months in a party context, mingled them with some exclusives and up-and-coming ones and tried to eternise the valleys and the mountains of a 12-hour-long epic journey onto one silver disc." Janson opens his mix with Luke Abbott's remix of "Snooze 4 Love" by Todd Terje, before working his way through 15 more tunes by the likes of Traumprinz, Joe Claussell and HMC. Dotted around the tracklist are exclusives from John Talabot, Shan, Boddika & Joy Orbison and Prins Thomas.
