Running Back continue to impress in 2011, following crucial releases like the Son Of Sam reissue and the truly odd Hammon Decks twelve with some more swooping cross city house pollination from Marco Passarani. There's a steady, constantly building vibe to "White Dwarf" that proves to be quite consuming; layers of mid tempo percussive bump drawing you in before Passarani introduces subtle acid bubbles and great big dramatic Detroit string flourishes. Watch out for the totally gorgeous drop into synthtastic white light towards the end. On the flip Passarani introduces the darker, more percussive counterpart "Black Dwarf" with only jagged shards of dubbed synths to separate the relentless rhythmic rattle of percussion. This contrasts nicely with mutant house bomb that is "Colliding Stars (Part 2)", an increasingly psychedelic melange of subterranean Italo arpeggios, euphoric keys, searing discoid strings and rasping metallic rhythms.
