after last years heartbreak hotel including the mighty glitter, here comes the new tb ep. wave house, disco noir, acid love, and an all roland gear slo-mo session of the early 90ies trance-rave classic schoeneberg by marmion. gerd janson noted sounds good when he dropped it at sven vaeths party on ibiza.

so gerd and philipp were due to play xoyo one saturday night and the club is 6 minutes from my studio so i suggested we go there first to make tunes for a few hours. we made 2 songs that night and one of them is ‘reach out’. gerd did the drums on my 808, philipp wrote the beautiful lead part on my obxa and i did the bass in my cs80. i added the words a couple of weeks later, they are inspired by leonard cohen’s letter to his muse marianne ihlen on her deathbed. (joe goddard) including fantastic remixes by erol alkan and osborne.

he sings! he dances! the fabulous new album! says the original sticker on dmx krews nu romantix lp and nothing changed 20 years later for ed upton aka ed dmx. permanent vacation marks the anniversary of this influential album with a special re-release. the album is available for the first time on a loud and sharp 45rpm double 12inch (including the instrumental of come to me as bonus track). carefully remastered by lopazz for maximum pleasure. the music is now as relevant as it was 20 years ago, when the king of electro power ballades sings about the essential things in life and takes you to the place called love, that is more needed than ever before.

its done. the final, last and endmost volume of remixes for tuff city kids (aka philipp lauer and gerd janson) unique debut album adoldesscent are here. featuring kink, prins thomas, sascha funke, shan, justin strauss whatever/whatever project and brussels bohemian mugwump, tck originals are treated with acid, balearic rhythms, lean berlin grooves, new york city dubs, uk breaks and belgian new beats. there is something for every taste and one for each situation. the vinyl edition carries kink, prins thomas, sascha funke and the previously unreleased proto-rave rocket icebot. for the rest, hit the download button, please. thats all folks.

hmot aka stas sharifullin is siberian-born, moscow-based musician, curator, educator and multi-disciplinary artist from siberia. using modular synthesizer, field recordings and visual programming languages, hmot collects sounds and organizes them into structures, pushing traditional electronic music genres beyond their comfort zones. “permanent imbalance” is his ep debut on the berlin imprint oqko following a single contribution to the label’s “form_1” compilation. structurally, “permanent imbalance” is disorderly and elusive, it’s a techno record which has undergone a gregor samsaesque metamorphosis. embedded with dizzying polyrhythmics, the discontinuity at the heart of the record might also be its central directive – interrupting the ecstatic clubbing experience in favor of a contradictory reality which is impossible to describe with regular rhythms. boldly submitted to the niche of dance music deviations, “permanent imbalance” also reveals techniques directly derived from early institutional electronics and musique concrete. but where others would pile on the layers, sharifullin keeps it trim. these are just some finishing touches enhancing his rickety and multifaceted soundscapes. subject to constant deviations of its own temporality, this music proves to mirror the crisis in which modernity resides – a state of life out of balance which now appears to be permanent as never before.

mount liberation unlimited strikes back! after releases on tim sweeneys beats in space label and everyones favourite oddball house institution studio barnhus, the swedish duo, consisting of tom lagerman and niklas janzon, land on planet permanent vacation. body language is the fifth release for mlu and you can feel that they have been places and come some ways, since their debut ep in 2014: this ode to dancing sees lagerman and janzon heading into more pop-y territories than before. the swedish version is a full on pop disco track with rich instrumentation and infectious vocals that underline mlu’s status as one of the best disco and house live acts around these days. while the mouth mix is the swedish interpretation of chicago house and gets even more physical with its drum-heavy beats and computerized vocals. for your karaoke party and to round up the package, we also included the instrumental of the swedish version. rocka din kropp!

after the original comes the remix. or in this case three. i:cube, chinaski and aera help you refresh your memory and re-draw drawn from memory from benjamin fröhlichs second part of the rude movements series. its one single track, but every remixer has taken his very own approach and came up with a new interpretation. the iconic french producer and permanent vacation long time favourite, i:cube, transformed the original into a soul warming and heart melting late night bomb that lets the sun appear even in the darkest places. chinaski out of frankfurt, well known from his releases on live at robert johnson and uncanny valley, fuses italo disco with a john carpenter-style soundtrack aesthetic and an infectious bassline completed by a full on guitar solo in the break. aera, fresh from releasing his album on permanent vacation, is slowing down the tempo, rearranging the layers of the original and adding a bubbly and underwater atmosphere that let the dub stabs shine. three different versions that may represent different memories of one long night.

2x12 inch vinyl with download voucher in slipcase with 5mm spine, black innersleeves and sticker.
everything begins with changes, whether you re moving geographically or emotionally. aera’s album „the sound path” tells the story of this sentiment.
born in the high north of germany and now a berlin resident, ralf schmidt aka aera first appeared on the electronic music map when he established his own aleph music label back in 2010. with only a handful of releases, aera was able to lay out his very own musically topography on the cutting edges between house, psychedelia and breakbeats. this colourful mix culminated on his debut album „offseason traveller” in 2013, resonating the past forty years of electronic music, which brought him the attention of a wider audience as well as fellow djs and producers. so it was a logical consequence that his talent also attracted other labels and lead to widely praised releases on innervisions, maeve or john talabot’s hivern discs. with these, aera’s sound bloomed further into bubbly acid and trancey territorries and his fine reputation as a singular producer, travelling dj and remixer flourished. with „the sound path” aera continues his musical travels and permanent vacation is gladly hitchhiking on that ride. his second album is the most coherent and definitely most personal work to date. here, he has perfected his sound even further - adding nuances from the meadows of new age, kraut cliffs and high-flying kites of ambient. complete with the cinematic and nature-esque qualities of ralf’s music, it will draw you in deeply through a great variety of landscapes before your inner eye. however, you’ll never lose track, because this path is beautifully illuminated.

brazilian born producer and self-confessed studio freak terr will be making her debut with have you ever on permanent vacation. she found recognition with her creative, quirky electronica productions, said to be heavily influenced by her use of analog gear, her sound is a combination of techno, house and disco with futuristic textures and elements. throwback disco meets techno, alongside a scintillating synth in have your ever, not forgetting the mesmerising robotic female vocal hook. a thunderous kick drum bass line combo takes the dub version into a more late-night dance edit of the original. hauntingly cinematic with its hook line, memoir hints on some intergalactic synthetic inspiration, which builds into a nearly disco-esque breakdown. this track lends well to roll into twenty thousand leagues metallic and bubbling with its multi-layered textures. its delicate and finely tuned.

calling in the favors: marcel dettmann, roman flügel and scuba under his scb inversion disguise, take apart songs and tracks from tuff city kids debut album adoldesscent. dettmann, submisses to his new wave and em callings, keeps the song that is scared intact, but mangles it into a fast-paced pogo piece, while flügel uses his second take of rmancer (see the happy gerdy remix for reference) to push it into the k-lauer abyss, before scb inversion tones down the rockism of nordo and makes it inherently his own. to complete the picture, you get thorarium by tck themselves. a previously unreleased track that is basically a remix of a previously unreleased track

carl gari is a group of three from munich: jonas yamer, till funke and jonas friedlich. they released their well received and idiosyncratic debut (npr mentioned it as one of the 50 best albums in 2016) on the trilogy tapes, for which they collaborated with egyptian singer and spoken word artist abdullah miniawy. for the second release on permanent vacation they perfected their unique blend of psychedelic ingredients, dubbed out drums, drony sounds and a general hazyness. the mystic chants of abdullah, who is also featured on two tracks, weave themselves into the bands lively sound texture. apart from that carl gari showcase the diversity of their analogue driven and melodic approach to electronic music through four beautifully detailed tracks.

after his joint ep with sascha sibler and his fabulous contribution for the ten years anniversary compilation of the label, daniel bortz returns to permanent vacation with his first solo ep since the infamous bella avgvsta trilogy. four tracks that are hard to pigeonhole and show the great variety of daniel bortzs production skills: you will find euphoric techno, hard hitting dub, cinematic breakbeats and heart warming electronica, all dancing harmonically in a giant echo chamber.

tb is the alias of permanent vacation label co-head tom bioly. his releases as tb so far are invitation to love on john talabot s hiverned 10inch imprint (was voted amongst the best 10inch releases by uk fact magazine), and -city girl on permanent vacation, of which german groove magazine wrote entirely superb. heartbreak hotel is a double twelve-inch release with eight tracks of melancholic dance noir set in smoke-filled darkness. acid bobbles, distorted strings and echoed guitars are mangled and layered on machine beats and disco drums.

multi-faceted irish musician david kitt aka new jackson returns to permanent vacation in full force, riding high from releasing his critically acclaimed debut album from night to night, which was filled with rich melodies, dusty synth pop, late-night boogie and cinematic deep house. for his third pv ep, new jackson tightens the strings and brings back the bounce with two rather floor-friendly tracks that are still deeply rooted in the unique new jackson universe. to round things up feather by feather is a love-trenched early morning anthem, which is the perfect soundtrack for doing all things that are nice in this world.

andrei antonets legt noch mal nach. doch wo sein track permanent departure und der dazu- geho&#776,,,,,,,,rige dop-remix auf der mmr 27 noch die meditative magie der nacht suchten und fanden, machen diese vier tracks erst gar keine gefangenen in sachen tanzbarkeit. mit breitspurigen bassdrums und einem funky-unverkopften sounddesign, das genauso viel jack wie tiefe mit sich bringt, zielt die neueste ep des russischen produzenten geradewegs ins herz der tanzfla&#776,,,,,,,,che. bis in die a&#776,,,,,,,,u?ersten kapillaren senden sie dort mithilfe tief ha&#776,,,,,,,,ngender ba&#776,,,,,,,,sse, turbulenter percussion und geheimnisvollen vocals die schillerndsten signale ewig langer na&#776,,,,,,,,chte. wa&#776,,,,,,,,hrend hellraiser 2017 und for me there is no other one (feat. jake the rapper) sich auf der a-seite noch im unteren bpm-bereich ihren weg bahnen, schraubt pd124 auf der b-seite das tempo und somit auch das energielevel an û und ha&#776,,,,,,,,lt es ohne mu&#776,,,,,,,,he ganze acht minuten lang. den abschluss bildet dann eto ne son 111, das schwer stampfende drums mit sehnsu&#776,,,,,,,,chtigen melodien paart und diese ganz und gar nicht widerspru&#776,,,,,,,,chliche fusion perfekt aufgehen la&#776,,,,,,,,sst. diese vier tracks von der mmr 28 sowie die beiden tracks von der mmr 27 erscheinen zusa&#776,,,,,,,,tzlich zur vinyl-vero&#776,,,,,,,,ffentlichung auch in einem digitalen bundle als mini-album (6 tracks inkl. dop-remix).

more rudeness for your pleasure from the co-founder of the permanent vacation kingdom, benjamin fröhlich: one year after the well received first rude movements ep and the accompanied remixes benjamin fröhlich returns for another round. the second part of the rude movements series brings you further adventures into the world of dance music from the past and present. it covers percussive space trance , roaring synth jams to stab-driven and flute-infused house workouts and dubby breakbeat steppers, all happily dancing under one roof.

celebrating its 10 years label anniversary permanent vacation releases a top-notch package of 16 brand-new tracks by their main artists including john talabot, tuff city kids, mano le tough, tensnake, red axes, pional and many more. plus special guest joakim, who contributed the track camino de la luna, paying homage to his classic remix for antena s camino del sol, the first big hit on the label 10 years ago.

while red axes s ode to the sun is still running strong one and a half years after its release (it even made it into last year s top 50 at resident advisor), here comes the heavyweight remix package: german wunderkind konstantin sibold is hitchhiking the original into afro rave territories with vodoo percussions and a hauting bassline that will be hard to escape from. fango from the italian degustibis family continues his string of strong remixes as he turns the original into a rough beat version just to drop the melody in the break for maximum dancefloor mayhem. and last but not least the axes themselves come up with a tropical house version that works any time any place. and thus the sun continues to shine.

some events in our life are responsible for driving us to a type of system where only the risks we take day by day are responsible for not letting us in.

here comes argoman, the antihero of disco music. inspired by the 1960s b movie super hero argoman, the name literally means lazy man, however its also a combination of three italian producers names, who started the project about one year ago. the track chimicalissimo merges the vibrant rhythms of disco with the emotional approach of modern electronic music. its a peak-time dancefloor banger completely produced with analog synths and drum machines. the tune is a proper voyage between syncopated rhythms and heavy basslines soaked with synth melodies that often recall idm progressions. the dub version gives more space to a melancholic piano melody that culminates through analog arpeggios to an unstoppable build. black spuma remix finally turns the track into a slow burning disco monster.

remixers getting remixed! the first batch of interpretations for tc’s 2016 debut album adoldesscent arrives with a trio of artists above the ordinary. while tensnake and joe goddard take care of tell me (the former delivers one of his peaking trademark tearjerkers, while the later one is basically meditating on himself), gifted &blessed roman flügel turns the proto-rave of r-mancer into a joyful ride through post-house that not only will make gerdy happy. one record for every turntable.

benjamin fröhlichs 2016 ep rude movements gets the remix treatment by some of his favourite artists: permanent vacation long time collaborator and partner in crime lauer tugs amos in with a very cosy frankfurt trance blanket, while running back regular shan pulls out the curls of holloway thanks to his magic styling iron. the result: a pumping and string heavy affair. on the flipside brusselss wunderkind cleveland delivers an energizing and mesmerizing breakbeat version of ghost orchid for the magic moments in life. while siss finest jack pattern come correct with a cosmic disco reinterpretaion of spitting image

somewhere between a dadaistic mixtape, a surreal audio collage sourced from his record collection, and sporadic interjections from his own storehouse of outlandish and intriguing productions, this 79-minute journey reveals madteo’s freewheeling rigor in the studio.
confessions of a permanent alien opium beater is another crucial piece of a discography from one of music’s most fascinating enigmas, a celestial lysergic jukebox that conjures new pleasures and deeper mysteries with each listen.

Ähnlich wie bei tuff city kids selbst, geht es bei -adoldesscent- nicht um eine bestimmte stilrichtung oder einen sound. vielmehr ist es der ansatz der verschmelzung. und damit ist endlich der nachweis erbracht, dass die verschiedenen ecken des elektronischen musikspektrums wesentlich mehr gemeinsam haben, als man gemeinhin vermuten würde. aber was noch viel wichtiger ist und am ende mehr zählt als all das: es zaubert ein lächeln aufs gesicht!

the unstoppable tag team gerd janson and phillip lauer aka tuff city kids have another surprise up their sleeves with their first full on vocal track labyrinth, which is also a precursor of the soon to be released first tck album. who else but norwegian wonder woman annie could be better suited for the job on the microphone? the result is a timeless disco mutant for all centuries. and who else but new york don morgan geist could do the remix job? he delivers a notorious disco dub version that lets all of you disco vampires burst into flames. if this wasn’t enough tuff city kids give themselves a taste of their own sweet medicine and lift labyrinth onto the thougher club floors. for all creative djs, there is also a heavy percussion workout by mysterious dj oyster. here we go again!
