Louche presents Perlon, take two! After mother nature ruined our plans 9 months ago, finally the re-scheduled party has come around. Zip and Margaret were all set to come over last April until the Icelandic volcanic ash grounded all European flights. They were as desperate as we were to re-arrange, so exactly a year on, here we are again. We give you, Perlon Records.

One of the most iconic imprints of our time, Perlon oozes cool. Founded in '97 by Zip and Markus Nikolai, Perlon's intellectual twist on electronic music has seen artists such as Ricardo Villalobos, Akufen, Maayan Nidam and Cassy release on the ground breaking label, and their refusal to bend to the digital format in favor of vinyl has seen them gain respect from all corners of the globe. 1999's suPERLONgevity compilation release featured 'Bushes', a track which has since been remixed by Fatboy Slim and Derrick Carter. A tribute to Perlon's influence on modern dance music.

Thomas Franzmann AKA Zip began his illustrious musical career in 1986, as lead vocalist for the band Second Voice. The next eleven years were spent exploring 4/4 music, and after a move to Frankfurt, Perlon was born. Thomas has released on Perlon under several pseudonyms; Pantytec, Dimbiman and Narcotic Syntax. He is also part of the laptop jam supergroup Narod Niki, a five man off the cuff live set created by Ricardo and also including Hawtin, Luciano, and Daniel Bell. He selectively gigs at only the worlds finest venues, holding exclusive residencies at Panorama Bar and Harry Klein. Indeed, Zip can often be seen spinning back to back with his contemporaries and friends from the Narod Niki crew. The man, and his label are clearly an important chapter of contemporary house.

Supporting is Margaret Dygas, an artist who's great productions caught Perlon's eyes recently. Margaret has has a colourful upbringing, living in Poland, Germany, L.A, New York and London before settling down in Berlin to work on music full time. A fashion student originally, it was her time spent in London and The Big Apple where she was exposed to the vibrant electronic scenes that have made her the artist she is today. Releases on Perlon, Contexterrior and Harry Klein display her passion for dub, techno and everything in-between. The electronic-tech vibe of her present sets incorporate the deep and minimal sounds she loves, whilst retaining the driving funk of her musical past, and crowds all over the globe flock to see her do her thing.

Perlon parties are an extremely rare occurrence, and it gives us tremendous pleasure to bring these two, and the Perlon musical ethos to The Mint Club. Trust us; this one is going to be very special. Volcano permitting.
