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.

Saved By The Bell (10/04/24)

Os Italianos Alessandro Parlatore e Marcello Giordani vem incansavelmente buscando construir uma ponte cósmica entre a herança da música disco, mais exemplificada por eles na sua versão Italo, e a música eletrônica e o techno contemporâneo. Seja em DJ sets que exploram estes longínquos espectros e suas conexões ou em produções que aterrissaram em reconhecidos selos como Life and Death, Mule Musiq, e Hivern Discs, através do codinome Marvin & Guy que foi capaz de realizar sua identidade, costurando referências a primeira vista tão díspares entre si.

Neste mix, Marvin e Guy nos agraciam com uma seleção de empoeirados e perdidos sons da era disco e Boogie, enfocados na interpretação do continente asiático destes gêneros. Muitas relíquias cuidadosamente escavadas e trazidas à superfície neste estranho, aquoso, e inesperado mix.

Run by DCSIS (@dcsis), SOULMEEX is a weekly mix series launched in December 2022 out of a passion for high quality electronic music and beyond.

A passion often tough to turn into success for those individuals combining their regular jobs with the noble art of digging, selecting and playing records in their spare time.

Even tougher if not being into music production (or recently got into), not having contacts in the industry or counting with zero financial support to host a gig in their cities.

OUR MISSION therefore is boosting on a very special and unique website all this talent we strongly believe deserves to be heard.

Most recently, since July 2023 pro DJs and  producers join SOULMEEX from time to time to help us grow the community as we enjoy their savoir-faire in music.
