Following years spent flitting between labels including Technicolour, Shall Not Fade, E-Beamz and Bobby Donny, DJ Boring makes his bow on Running Back with a suitably vibrant, colourful and atmospheric collection of mood-enhancing club cuts. He begins with a dash of synth-laden, synth-pop flavoured kaleidoscopic house - the rushing 'Beautiful Strangers'- before opting for a breezy, sun-soaked sound on the similarly attractive 'Can't Fix a Broken Heart' (though the track certainly does a good job of trying to). Jasper Tygner makes his present felt on opioid deep two-step workout 'When I'm With You', while 'False Attraction' is a brilliant blend of bilious pads, off-kilter house percussion and locked-in bass. Closing cut 'Memories Fade', meanwhile, is the missing link between head-nodding hip-hop and enveloping synth-wave soundscapes.
