Animal Trainer and Noah Kulaga readies its 18th release with the collaborative ‘Running’ EP, out now via Around Midnight.
A powerful meeting of Swiss electronic mainstays Animal Trainer and fast-rising Swedish talent Noah Kulaga. Title-track ‘Running’ is anchored in a deep, rolling groove and elevated by Kulaga’s distinctive vocal presence. Hypnotic layers of melody unfold over a steady pulse, capturing a sense of emotional urgency and dancefloor nostalgia. Built equally for sunrise sets and packed late-night clubs, it’s a track made for movement; physical and emotional.
The EP is enriched by two standout remixes, each taking ‘Running’ in bold new directions. Label heads Chambord deliver a refined interpretation, blending deep club energy with shimmering French Touch textures, a perfect balance of groove and elegance. Meanwhile, Danish favorite Nandu offers a brighter, more radiant take: fluid, joyfully melodic, and bathed in golden-hour warmth.
Swiss electronic music DJ and live hybrid act Animal Trainer are known for their driving, crisp techno and house sets, they blend DJing with live performance elements using synths and guitar, playing at global festivals and clubs. They are also owners at Zurich’s Hive Club and are respected for their high-quality productions and ability to drive electronic trends.
Noah Kulaga, meanwhile, represents a new wave of Scandinavian talent, fusing heartfelt vocals with a modern approach to melodic electronic music. His rising profile has marked him as one to watch, and this collaboration showcases both his vocal strength and his evolving artistry.
Launching with a powerful statement, ‘Running’ marks a highlight for both artists and Around Midnight’s catalog, an EP that feels timeless yet urgent, melancholic yet euphoric.
