Boris Dlugosch and Cassara drop the Traveller EP on Running Back, a label that has carved out its niche since 2005 under Gerd Janson’s steady hand, championing sharp-edged house and disco cuts with an unerring eye for dancefloor essentials that bridge decades without apology. This four-track release captures two masters at work, Dlugosch with his deep roots in Hamburg’s explosive house scene and Cassara bringing fresh fire from their chance encounter over vintage synths. Together, they channel pure underground drive, the kind that pulls DJs back to the decks night after night.
Traveller kicks things off with a surging groove that demands attention, its relentless pull born from those classic machines they both cherish. Dlugosch, the guy who cut his teeth DJing as a teen under Klaus Stockhausen’s guidance at Front, knows exactly how to build tension that explodes into movement. Front Traktor follows as a DJ tool sharp enough to slice through any set, echoing the tractor beams that lit up Front’s floors back in the day—pure utility with an edge that keeps the energy locked in. Intervox dives deeper, twisting electro-funk elements into something hypnotic, the sort of track that underground crowds latch onto for those marathon sessions where the room forgets time.
Nightflight seals the deal, lifting off with disco heart and house muscle, a nod to the US garage and Jersey flavors Dlugosch has long championed while remixing hits that crossed over from shadows to spotlights. What ties this EP together is that spark from their synth-fueled jam at a friend’s place, turning shared passion into tracks that hit hard and leave marks. Running Back delivers again, handing DJs and fans a weapon for the crates, steeped in history yet built for the now. Dlugosch and Cassara remind everyone why house stays vital: it’s the rush, the connection, the underground pulse that never quits. In a scene full of noise, Traveller EP stands tall, ready to dominate rotations from dimly lit clubs to festival peaks.
