Title:	Bushes/Passion
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 012EP

1999 release. "During the warm periods of the year strange things often happen to peoples hormone-systems.In the case of Perlon it seems to be leading to tracks that are a bit more in touch with their feminine side. Just in time for the summer they storm your soundsystem with a silky-smooth and laid back vibe. In two solid mixes 'Freaks' (20:20 Vision) re-interpret the original 'Bushes' taken from Perlon10. Also, 'Passion' is an awesome deep hypnotic track with small vocal sections that remind me of Michael Jackson and Prince holding hands in the park and tripping on mushrooms while they are singing love songs together."

Title:	Back
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 018CD

"14 excellent song formats are blessed with the grace of eternal amorousness. The spirit of euphoria breathed life into them as timeless classics in the musical universe. Supported by the phenomenally swinging one-man-orchestra Theo Krieger, who apparently masters the whole of the acoustic instruments in the world and the fantastic chanteuse Clair Dietrich. Once more, this album proves that all his life Nicolai will be equipped with the gift of finding the right tone at the right time." Infectious, a little bit luxurious, more vocal-oriented but with a Köln-sense of electronic ambiance. First full length on the hotly tipped Perlon label.

Title:	Superlongevity 3
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PERL 036CD

2003 release, repressed. "The third part of the labels successful Superlongevity compilation (triple vinyl / no-mix CD) features 13 unreleased tunes by the usual suspects at which the spectrum of musical styles is as manifold than ever before. On a habitual high level the distinguished listener, clubber and dancer is taken on a journey through certain possibilities of current housemusic: Ricardo Villalobos opens with the relaxed, groovin' 'Alsbalduin' followed by the Dimbiman who introduces us to 'Papa Puffi's Secret'; dark but always ready to play. Dandy Jack continues spinning this psychothread using ingredients that remind us of his extremely twisted mid-90's masterpieces. A hip-hiccup is send from the gloomy depths of Pantytec's (Sammy Dee and Zip) 'stalactitecaveradiolab'. Next track is brought to us by Melchior Productions (Thomas Melchior) who offers a driving reinterpretation of 'Feel Sensual' (PERL15 / Perlondon). This time the notorious unexpected guest Akufen converts into Horror Inc. hosting his very personal, magical dreamworld. Our french companions Copacabannark (Cabanne and Ark) will then wake us with their cool sounding machinefunk. Manmadescience (Soulphiction plus friends) are yet furthering the tempo in the same frame of mind and take the shortcut directly into the legs. After a little rest with Stephan Laubner aka STL and his tropical minimal delirium you will find yourself on a weird safari through the steeldrumjungle of Narcotic Syntax. Following our Detroit Perlon-Newcomer Matthew Dear as Jabberjaw in an enquiring manner of 'Maybe This Ain't Right' and damn right it is. We could have stopped right here, but of course we have to spoil you with Markus Nikolai's engaging pop house track that will keep an ringing in your ears , unless you're resistant to Sense Club's magical percussive madness."

Title:	Chicken Fried Rice
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 037EP

"Brought to you by Zuerich-based Sascha Winkler alias Kalabrese... After several records with the hip-hop-combo Sendak, his house debut Airolo was released in 2000 through the swiss-label Stattmusik. His style: relaxed, sexy, funky. Never before you could hear someone ordering #73 at the Chinese-delivery that passionate. Fragile voices versus massive bassmelodies. Funky guitars and precise sounds will make your ears groove under headphones. By the way, Kalabrese only sings because he didn't find a singer yet. We at Perlon hope, that he'll never find one."

Artist:	COPACABANNARK
Title:	To Beach or Not to Beach
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 041EP

"After the strictly limited 10" we are happy to present the long awaited follow-up of Copacabannark. Once again the French producers Ark and Cabanne are shaking the dancefloor in their very unique style. Arrangements, that are precise and nervous at the same time, are layered over a blackmailed bassdrum, which seems to be an old french household remedy against lame legs. As a bonus, we are getting a 'senti-metal' remix of Chilean Dandy Jack." Limited stock of this now deleted item.

Artist:	VILLALOBOS, RICARDO
Title:	The Au Harem D'Archimede
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PERL 043CD

"Archimedes' theorem defines the buoyant lift: Diving an object into a vessel full of water causes an increase of pressure inside the vessel. The displaced amount of water, i.e. the lifting force is equivalent to the object's body volume, i.e. its weight-force. Transferring this theorem to the music of the overwhelming parallel universe of Ricardo Villalobos' new triple EP/album length CD, one will realize the following: Diving all of its notes into reality results in the displacement of the same to a high degree, since the music has an enormous volume by expanding airily. Which means nothing but the musical principle of psychedelics taking effect here. This time by using the method of reduction, Ricardo is closer to the tradition of the cultured jam sessions by the legendary German 70es musicians' collective Ash Ra Tempel around Manuel Goettsching (known from his Prototech solo production 'E2-E4') than to the simply structured march through occasionally rather uninspired club metrics. Ricardo's percussive talent is undisputed: the sophisticatedly elastic rhythm meanders of Latin American/Caribbean origin sound as if they have been introduced to the wild from the base of a cool, impeccably clean laboratory which is located somewhere in the Science Fiction vastness of the Chilean Atacama desert. The loss of sense of time appears in favour of the event of intensity. Frequently the tracks appear surprisingly volatile, despite the considerable playing times of several titles which are absolutely required for exhausting the free, rhythmic modulations. One wishes them to last forever, like the whole production."

Artist:	MORANE
Title:	Where's the Beach
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 044EP

"Welcome to the club jacuzzi! Morane bubble over with musicality in the pleasure pool of styles and their side streams. Taking great pains, Markus Nikolai, Theo Krieger and Annika Mueller de Vries create a new universe for emotions and pleasant surprises in superior style -- on the dancefloor and in the imagination of every single listener. The trio's wealth of ideas makes them one of the most brilliant projects within the rising community of producers who let their creative potential flow into blending song and club formats."

Artist:	NARCOTIC SYNTAX
Title:	Reptile Sweat Accelerator
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 045EP

"Right on time to inaugurate a new club season DJ/producer James Dean Brown and musician/producer Yapacc strike the floors again by challenging the macro universe of the Emotional Maximum once more. And they're back with a singer! 'Cowabunga!' (B) is the first Surf House track ever (proclaimed to be one), dedicated to the conquerors of the waves all over the world. In fact music and lyrics make the listeners feel like floating in a remote audio quadrant of a galaxy laced with the crest of the waves."

Artist:	ARK
Title:	Caliente
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 047CD

"Ark makes us happy again with his punkfunk. On album length he mixes weird stutterhouse patterns with hip hop grooves and funky vocals. For the latter he has invited two guests: On 'Sucubz' Xavier Vindard sounds even dirtier than James Brown. Then Jamie Lidell smoothly enlarges the chessboard to the previously unknown format 'r2d2'. This album should be listened to with your sneakers on because you wont stop moving your feet till your neighbour rings the bell."

Artist:	DANDY JACK AND THE JUNCTION SM
Title:	Los Siete Castigos
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 050CD

"Dandy Jack's long-awaited long-player. The Chilean, Swiss by choice (who is one part of Sieg über die Sonne, Carabina 3030, Gonzalo Martinez, Ric y Martin...), presents the result of two years of extended sound research. We are inconceivably happy that he does so on Perlon. Dandy Jack dedicates each of the seven (+1) tracks to one of his best friends and calls the album Los Siete Castigos (= the seven punishments). He handles his complex sound structures with inimitable nonchalant precision aiming on your brain and your feet. This album truly takes it to a higher level. Percussive, tricky, elegant."

Title:	Joker Family Park Two
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	PERL 054EP

"Spending a lifetime at Joker Family Park is highly recommended!...And the grand-opening of 'Park Two' is getting closer. After being busy doing remixes for Alter Ego, Alex Smoke or MyMy, Matt John continues to guide us through his territory. Last years 'Park One' already caused some serious reaction all over the world. Now there's six new songs, waiting to be discovered on this double 12" package. The A-side 'Hawaii You' is co-produced by Ricardo Villalobos." Last copies of this now deleted version.

Title:	Superlongevity 4
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PERL 056CD

"Way back is miles ahead! Here's a big chunk of what one should expect from a funky future, merging forward sound techniques with field-tested vibes from past, transfiguring musical eras. The Perlon visionary society is known and appreciated for representing the continuation of a propulsive groove development. Embedded in the stimulating context of forwardness and incalculability, the 16 new tracks on Superlongevity 4 once more mark the label's distinctive approach to sire a swarm of heralds who are going to effect a climate change above inventive ingenuity. A highlight for sure in this correlation is 'Morning Sir' by Baby Ford & Zip, shifting the ideals of Suicide (Alan Vega + Martin Rev) to unearthly binary dimensions of nonchalant coolness, closely followed by the growling Pantytec Funk incorporating stellar and gloomy soundscapes that seem to be flowed from the rivers of Ash Ra Tempel, and Luciano who is deliberately conducting the machines' own, funny internal dynamics tenderly rearing up. New Perlon crew member Stefan Goldmann points out where to start the long trip with a view to discreetly recolonise remote planetary sound systems having been explored by some Jazz-driven mothership or other, while Narcotic Syntax lay a spanking alien Electro egg into the Perlon nest, and the gently swinging Horror Inc. (aka Akufen) celebrates eternal propagation of splendid harmony. Just a few examples of how to raise the game in 16 ways." Artists: Pantytec, Melchior Productions Ltd., Baby Ford & Zip, Luciano, Dandy Jack and the Third Leg, Cabanne, Dimbiman, Stefan Goldmann, Soul Capsule, Soulphiction, Ricardo Villalobos, Narcotic Syntax, Markus Nikolai, Matt John, Kalabrese, Horror Inc.

Title:	What's Wrong My Friends?
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	PERL 059LP

Repress of this 2006 double 12". "After Ricardo has being busy doing remixes for Depeche Mode and Beck lately, we are happy to release 4 brand new songs in the quite luxury format of 2x12"... yummy. 'What's Wrong My Friends?' is the general question asked in the opening -- and title track. We know everything is pretty alright.... especially when this brass section swings in. On the flipside 'Gugga Sempa' introduces the subflute, a rare instrument dated back to the bass-age. The second record of the doublepack holds a rough percussive monster entitled 'Africolaps,' as well as 'Dummolator,' an instant 14-minute hypnosis."

Title:	Waiting 4 A Way
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 063EP

Soul Capsule = Thomas Melchior & Baby Ford; first new tracks in 5+ years. "The duo founded this project back in 1999. The results were released through Trelik and Aspect Music. Besides that, you'll find remixes for Music for Freaks, Ricardo Villalobos, Swag, Sven Väth, and Pantytec. The first appearance on Perlon was the contribution of the song 'International Party People' for the label's 4th part of the Superlongevity compilation last year."

Artist:	MELCHIOR PRODUCTIONS
Title:	No Disco Future
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PERL 066CD

"Three years after his groundbreaking album The Meaning (Playhouse, 2004) Thomas Melchior presents his new longplayer No Disco Future. Skills and experiences Thomas gained throughout the years are innumerous. To mention just a few: along with Tim Hutton he formed the Duos Vulva and Yoni who were releasing on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex, on the U.S. label Reflective, and for German electronica pioneers, Source Records. With his mate Peter Ford, he forms the duos Sunpeople and Soul Capsule (and various others). The new album sounds less micro-house and more homogeneous. Slightly spherical soundscapes perfectly unite with discreet vocals building very harmonical structures."

Artist:	VILLALOBOS, RICARDO
Title:	Vasco
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	PERL 069CD

This is minimal master Ricardo Villalobos' second full-length release for the Perlon label. Following the last two 12" Vasco releases featuring "Minimoonstar," "Electonic Water" & "Amazordum" (containing remixes on the B-sides by Shackleton, San Proper & Baby Ford), this CD contains the full-session mix of "Minimoonstar" (32 minutes long!) as well as a CD-exclusive bonus track entitled "Skinfummel." You know, it is most important to get into the flow. This is quite possibly Villalobos' most experimental dance music to date, driving home his ever-widening philosophy that when styles have fallen into oblivion, when dance is subliminal, when positions don't matter, when discussions have faded, when every substance has been dropped, when everyone is free of inert mass, when the set-up is cleared of significance, then mindset and music will float freely. The journey of the most successful explorer, the commander of a floating ship starts from a pool full of nutritionally-dense ideas, a primordial soup filling a feel tank -- as opposed to a think tank. Moves that make a jam session -- that's how to begin when entering and establishing new playgrounds, designing organic technologies, expanding universes. There's enough space to place countless seeds of sense, causing the joint communication between the players of the jam to flower out. The players of these jams are the many spirits of Ricardo Villalobos. His philosophy of the flow of absolute sound is in full evolution here, and this is 70 minutes worth of pure bliss.

Title:	Vasco EP Part 1
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	PERL 069EP

"First part of Ricardo's new contribution for Perlon entitled Vasco EP. Two original compositions by mister Villalobos that get remixed on the B-sides by Shackleton and San Proper. 'Minimoonstar' on the first record gets a special underwater treatment by ex-Londoner Shackleton (Skull Disco). On the A-side, we find a special 12" edit of the original to make it fit on wax. This time the remix gets delivered by Amsterdam-based San Proper, who is known for his superb releases on Rush Hour."

Title:	Knowone Can Take Away
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 070EP

"Alan Abrahams, that's the man behind Portable, born and raised in South Africa, where he started to produce music in the '90s. 1997 he moved to London. After several releases on labels like Context or Background, he started his own imprint Süd Electronic around 2002. Another project named Bodycode was born and found a home at USA-based Spectral, the sister label of Ghostly. His first Portable album was released at the end of 2007 through Süd Electronic. Now Perlon is more than happy to welcome mister Abrahams on board with this incredible deep 12" entitled Knowone Can Take Away. Two songs for eternity!"

Artist:	A GUY CALLED GERALD
Title:	In Ya Head
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 071EP

"When sonic pioneers collide in an ideal setup within club culture dynamics, they do not just produce dents on the floor, but in fact amalgamate in a pliant way to stretch the space-time continuum by means of enrichment through sound. And knowledge. Here we have such a mighty hook-up: Gerald Simpson is known to be an innovator of electronic dance music. Starting with Manchester-based 808 State in 1988, sparking the fire of Voodoo Ray Acid Soul, measuring the Black Secret Technology jungle, finding the Essence of song-based dance via New York City, he continues pushing evolutionary music processes since taking up residence in Berlin. Now he joins forces with the Perlon visionary community of unfathomable deepness and unrivaled sound design always leaving room for novelty, scientific curiosity and blasting mind frames. On this volume, every element of Gerald's spirited signature can be strongly detected again: his rhythm awareness, the proto acid clonks and bleeps with soul implant, the drum&bass infection, the arcane technology, the essence, the magic, the coolness, the timelessness -- again put into a future focus. The stunning result appears as a revelation of a shiny, blue-black character. 'In Ya Head' is featuring soulmate Mia, former Cologne producer and founder of Sub Static, who dived into the Berlin pool in 2004, the same year as Gerald did. The forward motion of this stealth orbital glider with its elegant lunar sister module is definitely space-, time- and style-expanding."

Artist:	PANTYTEC
Title:	Pony Slaystation
Label:	PERLON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PERL 028CD

"Perlon's second artist album, brought to you by Pantytec, the band of the label's co-founder Zip and Sammy Dee, introduces their unique definition of cartoon house to shake the dancefloors wo. Available in 2 formats, the double vinyl comes with 8 ,while the CD offers 11 tunes. The recently released 12" entitled 'Elastobabe' was a nice foretaste of what to expect inside the Pony Slaystation. With the first track, Sammy and Zip take us on a 'micromission' (Dan Bell remix will follow) that leads us directly to a 'candy coated conspiracy' -- bon appetit! Pantytec 's incredible guitar talent can be proofed easily, listening to 'valentine', that is also available in a remix version by the mysterious 'Pokémonopa'. The album version of the pre-12" titletrack lost a few beats on it's way to the longplayer: pantytec's 'Elastobabe - Crackhouse dub', featuring Florian Schirmacher 'I' on vocals. He's also the one, who's forming a duet with Zip; while getting closer to 'Supratahiti'. Once there, sammy is already waiting inside the 'Quattroporte' to cruise the dancefloor Pantystyle in highest gear. The voice of NYC Diamond Girl Christine, with her definition of the beautiful colour 'Pink', marks the end of the vinyl, while the digital format offers 3 additional tracks from previously released 12"s."
