shan: nordring

Much like its associated club, Live At Robert Johnson not only features seasoned veterans, but likewise emerging talents and those already paving their way with quality productions. Victor Shan's production style tells much about his ongoing collaborations with one of bespoke veterans, Gerd Janson, providing countless remixes and edits as a tag team on labels such as Running Back and Permanent Vacation. Taking their inspirations from a sonic array of UK synth pop, Balearic beats, and Italo disco, Victor Shan's LARJ debut four-track EP reveres nights spent at the Robert Johnson club: from the dancefloor to the studio. Lush detuned synths, deep basslines sometimes lingering down below, and upfront beats -- they all catch the vibe of a wooden dancefloor to be found at Nordring 131 in Offenbach.
