Runner, who feature Liverpool duo Rob Jay and Matt Carr, release their debut single 'Music' on Mute's Future Groove label on the 8th of July.
'Music' is released on two 12"s and looks set to be one of the biggest releases on the label so far. Infectious, futuristic pop at its very best, 'Music' comes backed with a brilliant selection of mixes from K & M, Future Groove label mates, Desert, and Runner themselves.
Rob Jay, manager of Liverpool's famous 3 Beat Record shop, began DJing in the late eighties before setting up the influential Glow Records label, which counted Tong, Sanchez, Sasha and Tenaglia amongst its many fans. He released his first record in 1996 as Hong Kong Trash and went on to record a number of great tunes under different guises including Graffiti On Mars and Coloured Oxygen. His many remix credits include 'Riverdance' on Perfecto and the flip to 98's biggest selling dance record, Dario G's 'Sunchyme'.
Matt Carr, on the other hand, is a classically trained musician. After setting up his own studio, he worked with 2 For Joy, Vertigo and was involved with The Cream label in its infancy. His own tracks have been released to critical acclaim on Extravaganza, on which he enjoyed a Top 20 hit, 3 Beat, Digidance and Nitelife. Matt Carr also wrote the theme music to the recently re-launched MTV Dance Station.
Rob Jay and Matt Carr first got together last year to work on a remix project for Nude records. A successful collaboration, they began writing together and Runner was born. Runner signed to Future Groove at the end of 2001 and are currently in the studio. Expect a follow up single in the very near future…
