Fire up your turntable and lace up your dancing shoes – this is where it all began for Information Society. “Running” first hit the scene in 1985 as the band’s debut single, sneaking into the clubs and taking over the dance floors before anyone knew what hit them.

Originally pressed up for club DJs, it became an underground sensation, especially in New York, until Tommy Boy Records swooped in to give it the push it deserved.

Built on hypnotic synth lines, pulsing beats, and Kurt Harland’s distinctive vocals, “Running” is a prime slice of mid-80s electronic pop that still feels fresh. It’s no surprise it climbed to number 2 on the Dance/Club Airplay charts, becoming a must-have for fans of freestyle, synthpop, and new wave crossover grooves.

Flip it over and you get the instrumental version – perfect for DJs, remixers, or anyone who just wants to let those icy synth textures and driving basslines shine without the vocals. It’s a reminder of just how sleek and forward-thinking Information Society was from the start.

Compact, collectible, and packed with that early club magic, this 7-inch is a little time capsule of when synthpop was pushing boundaries and packing dance floors.
