2026, 12″, Running Back.
In general, Berlin-based Aussie Tornado Wallace has built a career out of forging colourful, atmospheric, musically detailed workouts that sit somewhere between Balearica, deep house and classy nu-disco. On this return to Running Back – a first collection of new music on Gerd Janson’s label for almost a decade – the Melbourne-raised producer opts for deeper, weightier, and more far-sighted sounds. For proof, check opener ‘Asahi Ga Yondeiru’, where Courtney Bailey’s Alison Goldfrapp-esque vocals with rub shoulders with starry synth chords and acid-style bleeps above sturdy house beats. Title track ‘Left at Sunset’ is even more gorgeous, fixing his usual picturexque melodies and dreamy chords to a booming bassline and shuffling breakbeats, while ‘Plasticine’ is an IDM and ambient influenced chunk of spacey dancefloor dub.
