A strong set of original productions and remixes have not only launched Beatman and Ludmilla to the top of their genre, but have also made them firm favourites with Paul Oakenfold. Having heavily supported them in his sets and compilations, as well as employing their remixing services several times (Tokyo, Resurrection) The prospect of a debut single caused mass hysteria in the Perfecto office.

Enter “Bazantar”, the first original production from Beatman and Ludmilla on Perfecto Records. It’s breaks, it’s massive, it kicks like a rabid donkey and it has a huge eastern vibe with enough bass to hit the brown note. Oh and did we mention it features and enormous remix from Mr Oakenfold?

To quote our good friend Captain Birdseye, “you’ve found our gold, now tuck in”

Originally released on Perfecto back in 2002, “Requiem For A Dream” was arguably Leama’s biggest release with the equally sublime Dream and Ambient Mixes. Since then the track has gained somewhat of a cult status and is considered a key classic among the progressive fans (in the traditional sense of the word progressive – as opposed to the widely recognised genre sound of today).

Bringing the track bang up to date are new remixes from label head Paul Oakenfold, who’s features his version on his new “Cream 21” compilation album, progressive house stalwart Quivver - who turns in a deep, brooding take and one of our favs Andre Sobota - whose recent remix of Justin Oh’s “Find You” is still on daily rotation in the Perfecto office. Hot on the heels of his insane “Bullet in The Gun” makeover breaks legend Refracture delivers a truly delicious take which completes the package immaculately.   

With a powerful and varied mix of styles, this is a fierce package that will keep fans on all sides of the fence happy.

Perfecto Records 46 is made up of a sizeable package from Corderoy. “Kerosene”, a track already heavily supported by Paul Oakenfold in his live sets and recent WAPP03 compilation album, features an enchanting vocal from Tim Browlow.  

The original hosts an intoxicating blend of progressive trance with a more band orientated sound featuring cool guitars and even cooler lyrics.  

Stepping up on remix duties is a Perfecto office favourite, Gai Barrone who’s recent single “Mr Slde” on Afterglow records was one of the our office summer anthems. Gai does what he does best – bending the original into a beautifully melancholic progressive journey that swells beautifully. We adore this mix!

Keeping up Perfecto’s renown ambidextrous output our brand new signing - East Freaks - give “Kerosene” a pumping US flavour. 

Light it up!!!

After launching the concept with an extensive tour in the US through November and December of last year, Perfecto Records is proud to present Paul Oakenfold’s second single from his forthcoming Trance Mission album (due for release in early Summer this year).  

The Trance Mission album will feature Paul Oakenfold cover versions of ten of his all time favourite trance records. 

This second single (the first being Paul’s cover of Café Del Mar on Perfecto Fluoro) from the album features Paul’s take on a 90’s anthem of mammoth proportions. 

“Toca Me was a massive record for me in the late 90’s – as I know it was for a lot of my peers at the time. It was one of those tracks that you could play in any situation and the place would go off. When the idea came up of doing the Trance Mission covers album this was one of the first titles I immediately knew I wanted to cover. There have been some great remixes of the original Fragma version over the years so I knew I had to make something different and so I went for a style and direction that many are currently referring to new school trance.” 

Completing the package Perfecto regulars East Freaks deliver a kicking peak time electro house monster, while Benjani takes things in an uber cool driving, melodic, progressive trance direction. Breaks guru Eshericks completes the package with a bone breaking bass bonanza. 

This is the second chapter in Paul Oakenfold’s Trance Mission story.  

Turn on, tune in and drop out.

This timeless piece of classical music returns from the original DJ who brought it to the electronic scene. 

People may think that Tiesto, or even William Orbit brought Samuel Barbers ‘Adagio For Strings’ to the electronic music masses, but in fact it was the one and only Paul Oakenfold – its first airing on the cult classic ‘Fluoro’ mix from right back in 1996. 

“I debated whether to make a cover of this one because there were already two massive covers in circulation – first William Orbit’s take which was released in 1999 and was the first single from his album “Pieces in a Modern Style” which came out in 2000 and then Tiesto’s big club version which came out in 2005 and which I think was one of the singles from his Just Be album (2004). But in the end every time I took Adagio out of the proposed Trance Mission tracklist – it felt incomplete. It was such an important record for me during that period (mid 90’s when I used to play Barber's original through to mid 00’s with all the different mixes that followed) and always got such a huge reaction whenever I played it. I’ve always wanted to make and release my own version – ever since we released the Skip Raiders take on it called “Another Day” which came out on Perfecto in 1999. 

For my cover I wanted to make something completely aimed at the US scene. Something that would work really well in my sets in the US where I seem to spend the majority of my time touring. 

I added a vocal to my new version which I know some people will see as sacrilege but I've never been one to conform to rules and regulations. Every time I play this out it literally takes the roof off. There is so much love out there for this record. Hats off to Samuel Barber. If only he was still around to see what his classical composition was doing to dancefloors worldwide today!”

Paul Oakenfold's new album "Trance Mission" is out on June 20th.

Paul Oakenfold & Cassandra Fox
“Touch Me”

Continuing the run of single releases from Paul Oakenfold’s recent Trance Mission album, we present a cover of what is arguably the biggest electronic vocal record of all time “Touch Me”. Originally by Rui Da Silva & Cass Fox and released in the early 00s the new adaptation by Paul Oakenfold took things in a more chilled direction – but still featuring a completely fresh take of vocals from Cassandra Fox. 

“If ever there was a timeless vocal classic to cover it’s “Touch Me” by Rui Da Silva and Cassandra Fox. Originally released in 2001 this was a number 1 hit in numerous countries around the world including the UK top 40. I adore this record. The lyrics and vocals are so perfect that when it came to make the cover version I knew two things had to happen – firstly we had to try and get Cass to re-sing the vocals (part of the rules of making a cover means you can’t use any audio from the original composition – everything needs to be remade or replayed) and secondly I wanted this to be a really stripped back almost chill out track so that the vocals had loads of room to breathe and take center stage. I love how this turned out and I was so excited that Cass got really involved when she came in to re-sing her vocals. It’s a completely fresh, exciting and emotionally charged take on the original record and I love it. “

Perfecto Records are proud to present a package of fresh & exciting club and radio mixes.

Traversing styles from progressive house to trance this package contains something for everyone. From Paul Oakenfold’s big room house ‘Stateside’ mix to the deep house interpretation with Marcellus Wallace, from the uber cool Mike Koglin take or the party vibe Joyriders mix. From the tougher Perfecto Club mix to the all out trance fest from Thomas Datt – this first package covers all bases. 

Watch this space for the release of the official “Touch Me” video. Coming soon.

Exactly 50 releases ago (PRFCT017), Perfecto Records saw the of “The Heart Speaks”, Kenneth Thomas’ monster vocal collaboration with Colleen Riley.

This re-release sees an update courtesy of Art Deko who adds his unmistakable high-class production, fresh from his successful revisioning of Paul Oakenfold and Angela McCluskey’s “You Could Be Happy” which saw support from the likes of Tiesto, Michael Woods, Cosmic Gate and Tritonal to name but a few.

Causing a stir in the progressive scene (in the more traditional sense of the genre) is Philthy Chit who brings us a far darker take on the vocal and an altogether more progressive trance based remix and an evil one at that.

Last but definitely not least, after bubbling away for some time and having stand out releases on the likes of Anjunadeep and his own label Ifonika, Roddy Reynaert excels with his remix, bringing a nu-disco / progressive house sound.

A fantastic package covering a multitude of styles that will satisfy the most eclectic electronic music connoisseur!

Kenneth Thomas feat Colleen Riley - The Heart Speaks (Philthy Chit Remix)

After the success of Paul Oakenfold’s recent Future House Remix of “You Could Be Happy” (played on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 Essential selection four weeks in a row) and the monster original release “Only Child” from DedRekoning feat Sophie Ellis-Bextor in 2014, it seemed only right that we bring you a special package of mixes with a completely summer vibe. 

Paul’s Deep Down mix is a late afternoon Ibiza terrace take that puts a deep house spin on the original while hot house producer Supacooks gives a slightly more progressive interpretation. 

A special ‘acoustic mix’ by DedRekoning themselves brings this melodic medley to a most satisfactory conclusion. 

Enjoy!

Having come second in a recent series of the BBC hit talent series “The Voice” as well as then going on to collaborate on numerous hits with the likes of Gareth Emery, Kryder, Chicane and Simon Patterson, Bo Bruce is a name that is already widely known in the music industry today. 

Here she makes her Perfecto debut teaming up with Trance veteran Greg Downey to produce “These Hands I Hold” - a sublime remake of an uber hot track taken from her first artist album  “Before I Sleep” on Mercury Records. 

This is a melodic monster with blissfully spine tingling vocals layered on beautifully energetic beats.  

Already snapped up for use as an exclusive on Simon Patterson’s recent Ministry of Sound – Trance Nation 2015 compilation, the original is now joined by a delicious collection of remixes from some of the hottest names on the label. 

First up, Paul Oakenfold’s Future House remix follows on in the style of his recent hit with Angela McCluskey that saw four consecutive weekly plays on Pete Tong’s BBCR1 Essential Selection. This is a radio and club friendly interpretation for fans of quality house music. 

Trance heavyweight Sean Tyas makes his debut on Perfecto with a stunning peak time high energy makeover while Johnny Yono returns with an epic trademark melodic feast in the flavour of his recent successful “Poison Whispers EP”. 

Roddy Reynaert does what he does best delivering a high quality progressive chugger that will surely reach far and wide this summer. 

A huge release in time for the festival season  - enjoy!

Legends collide in this brand new Perfecto Records release. Paul Oakenfold joins forces with Joyriders and the mighty Ce Ce Peniston (of Finally fame) to create a monster deep house, vocal hit - The DJ Made Me Stay. Following on from the successes of Paul’s recent future house releases, which saw him deliver smooth remixes of You Could Be Happy (featuring Angela McCluskey) and DedRekoning’s Only Child (with the one and only Sophie Ellis-Bextor on vocals) - The DJ Made Me Stay is the first of Paul’s original tracks in this vibe and it looks set to be a firm favourite with house DJs the world over for the remainder of 2015. 

Cool house interpretations come in the form of mixes from super talented Layout (watch out for a huge original coming from him in early 2016) and Who Else – while Mia Dahli provides a truly energetic trance take.  

Enjoy!
