Radio On Vacation with Naomi

Volume 005 of our PRO series comes with the signature of Benjamin Fröhlich, a pivotal figure in electronic music seamlessly combining the roles of DJ, producer, and co-founder of the very influential Permanent Vacation label.

Born and bred in Munich, Germany, Fröhlich's musical journey ignited in the early 2000s assuming the ownership of a hometown record shop which would shape his path in the industry significantly.

Fueled by his passion for music, he delved into DJing, organizing underground parties that propelled him from a hobbyist to a professional.

Despite the closure of his record shop in 2008, the inception of Permanent Vacation was already a reality. A venture co-managed with Tom Bioly, that almost 18 years later stays in excellent shape, releasing timeless music several times a year.

The label, established in 2006, has been the powerhouse of renowned artists like Todd Terje, John Talabot, Fort Romeau, Lauer or Massimiliano Pagliara.

Beyond curation and DJing, Benjamin's also been into making vibrant records during the last decade for Live At Robert Johnson, Optimo Music, Slam City Jams and his own label, of course. Pleasure Principle Vol.1, his latest addition to a long list.

To all intents and purposes, Benjamin Fröhlich is an unwavering force steering electronic music ever-evolving soundscape.

Four high energy cuts rounded out by the aptly named Sudden Peace. And with flying colours. Highlight track Farbpaletten is as propulsive as it is large, a typical Dietz track that touches on trance, but not in the way you would expect. These are tracks to draw out to sun and fill up any floor. 3 Mirrors is Robert Dietz's most explosive outing yet.

A1| Three Mirrors
A2| Judas Goat
B1| Farbpaletten

Accomplished as a certified Hit-Producer and DJ hailing from Berlin, Johannes Albert has left an indelible mark on the global dance music scene. For the past decade, he has steered the ship at the Frank Music label, solidifying his presence as a stalwart in Berlin's nightclubs and captivating audiences worldwide.

Johannes Albert's magnetic DJ reputation has catapulted him to stages from London to Tokyo, Augsburg to Cape Town. This is no surprise, given his impressive dual role as the head of his labels, Frank Music and Fine. His musical contributions extend beyond, gracing imprints like Live At Robert Johnson and Permanent Vacation. Known for eclectic mixes and a range of genre-spanning aliases, Johannes effortlessly infuses modern disco euphoria with a touch of acid, seamlessly blending classics and displaying an open mind towards genres, even embracing current rave revivals.

Hailing from the enchanting region of Franconia near Würzburg, Johannes's journey began with a fascination for the house and disco sounds of the time, evolving into a deep exploration of techno, acid, electro, italo, and beyond. Endowed with the essential DJ quality of amiability, propelling him from hometown clubs to a staple of the German scene.

Frank Music, initially a platform for Johannes Albert's productions, has birthed four solo albums, including the ambient masterpiece "Spessart." Tracks like "Endorphin Refill" and "Fountain Of Youth" have become anthems, with contributions from artists such as I:Cube, Lauer, Fred P, Ladymonixx, Boris Dlugosch, David Jackson & Gerd Janson. Meanwhile, Fine, managed alongside Tilman, is firmly rooted in House Music, where a simple sample and beat can set the dance floor ablaze.

In 2024, Frank Music releases "Moon IV," a collaborative album with Iron Curtis, showcasing their moody material. Johannes Albert, often associated with summery, uplifting mixes, surprises with his versatility, evident in remixes for Riva Starr & Mark Broom, Alan Dixon, andhim, Super Flu, Keinemusik & Catz ‘N Dogz.

Having found kindred spirits in the many hotspots of Berlin, Johannes is one of the very few DJs who can equally adjust to the many floors of the city, being a regular at Watergate, Tresor, Sisyphos, Else, about blank, Renate and the likes. Embracing an 'anything goes, super fun' approach, he considers Berlin the perfect home base to explore his myriad influences, ensuring a box of fully road-tested tricks for every club and festival adventure.

Oleeva Records w/ Will You + Bex - 27.04.24

Welcome to „Industrie & Zärtlichkeit“, the raw, quirky yet emotional debut album from Moon! Although the Berlin-based duo is revered for dancefloor bangers such as „Ze power”, Johannes Albert and Johannes Paluka (better known as Iron Curtis) have put much effort into making this album a true listening experience without sacrificing their roots in House Music. „Industrie & Zärtlichkeit“ (which translates into „Industry & Tenderness“) effortlessly achieves what is claimed in its title, namely a fusion of seemingly disparate elements: the rough and the smooth, dirty beats and soothing harmonies, bizarre sounds and comforting chords. The title track is a fine example of this perfectly-dosed blend with its detuned strings that glide over a crisp electro beat and an infectious melody which would make Kraftwerk proud. “Cafe Del Landwehrkanal” is a lighthearted and kinky gem while „Light Of Virtue“ combines warm synth pads (Detroit is not far) with dusty drums and an acid bassline. “MFB Nights” and “Machine Rhythm Tomorrow” are also illustrations of the duo's undeniable savoir-faire, with the former celebrating garage classics thanks to its cheeky vocal sample and gorgeous rhodes chords while the latter plays out as a dedication to the early 90's, a time when people didn't care about genres and just dived in the novelty of electronic dance music.
But as we all know, there is a dark and secret side of the Moon, an aspect which is best expressed via the freaky organ chords of „Proto“ and its detuned melody. Not to mention the excellent ambient pieces „Fjordig“ or „The Bitter End“ which showcase the duo's ability to venture into uncharted territory.
All in all, “Industrie & Zärtlichkeit“ feels like drinking fresh orange juice gently sparkled with chilli... and it concludes flawlessly with two reworks that prolong the album's laidback yet assured vibe. First off is Black Spuma (Lauer of Tuff City Kids fame and Italian disco legend Fabrizio Mammarella) who rework the title track into a hands-in-the-air boogie monster that will definitely be a festival staple this summer. Finally, Lerosa emphasizes the deeper shade of the album's spectrum with an impressive new wave rework of „Appeal“.
