One Night With. Gerd Janson

Gerd Janson’s career has been like the growth of a great oak tree. From small beginnings underground, putting on events in Mannheim, Germany and ferociously digging for the deepest cuts on record, he has grown to become one of the world’s biggest DJs.

It may be his formidable capacity for eclecticism that has got him to this point, mixing a tidy European house sound with the grit and soul of US styles, as well as a healthy dose of disco. The variable roster of his Running Back label is testament to this.

His sets work well on the biggest stages and high profile line-ups; in Leeds he’ll have Wire’s intimate basement to himself, all night long. Ideal.
