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.

Shubostar's RA Podcast begins and ends with video game music. (The beginning kind of sounds like Mary Poppins, actually.) Lots of DJs and producers play or make music that emulates the nostalgic sounds of old-school gaming, but the South Korean artist goes direct to the source. Before falling in love with dance music, she went to an animation-focused high school and learned how to make video games—so it's basically in her musical DNA. And while her DJing isn't as out-there as you might expect from that description, '90s and '00s Japanese video game (and anime) soundtracks offer a good idea of what her playing sounds like: lush, synthetic and a little naive, full of wonder and positive vibes.

With releases on labels like Permanent Vacation, Internasjonal and her own uju Records, Shubostar is also a student of cosmic space disco, inspired by artists like Daniele Baldelli, Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas. Lately she's been rubbing elbows with Âme and Dixon. She picks tracks from across eras and genres on her RA Podcast, with cuts from Yellow Magic Orchestra, Baldelli and Kraftwerk alongside selections from DJ City and Private Agenda. It's a mix full of mood shits, dazzling keyboard runs and, of course, melodies that seem to reach out towards the heavens—or outer space.

Love On The Rocks - Massimiliano Pagliara - 21 Mar 2024

We are straight outta the bank holiday here at Phonica and right back into business with another killer mix in our Phonica series from one of our all time favorites of late; Spotlight Records and Panorama Bar regular Chris Cruse.

We are straight outta the bank holiday here at Phonica and right back into business with another killer mix in our Phonica series from one of our all time favorites of late; Spotlight Records and Panorama Bar regular Chris Cruse.

Chris has been a predominant figure in the queer dance scenes in America and in Europe over many years having represented his mainstay party, now label, Spotlight from L.A., the Club Toilet Crew from Detroit and now residing in Berlin the last couple of years where he holds down regular slots at the city's major clubbing institution Berghain / Panorama Bar (most notably the party Snax which takes place there). Chris has dug deep  and worked hard with these residencies to showcase the queer roots of house, techno, disco, and other forms of dance music.
For Phonica 118 Chris takes us on a heated, hot and heavy club ready mix which would get anyone out to party. We sat down and had a lovely chat with Chris about his mix, his approach to DJing and what he has got up his sleeve for the future.For Phonica 118 Chris takes us on a heated, hot and heavy club ready mix which would get anyone out to party.
