we’re still wondering
PERLON RECORDS
CHALLENGE
- What to do when your contract with a major label does not satisfy you?
You’re releasing your own music on your own record label and produce the music and graphics you’re having fun with.
INSIGHT
- Being released from the contract as PILE (Markus Nikolai, Thomas Franzmann aka Zip and Chris Rehberger) from Sony Music we were heading straight to the next Apfelweinkneipe in Frankfurt to figure out what to do next. Ultimately we were left with the idea to establish our own record label. PERLON was born – that was in 1997.
SOLUTION
- Developing and establishing not only a visual but a whole life style, you can not plan. It is just happening to you.
So it did to us. We only wanted to produce a product that we thought is nice enough to have the right to live. We were starting with a 12", the #1 in 1997, and ever since did not stop. Why would we? We (Markus Nikolai, Zip and Chris Rehberger) had fun running the label and banging out music we have not heard and graphics we have not seen before.
RESULT
- On August 04 2017 we had a party at the Funkhaus Berlin for our 20th anniversary. over 4.000 people from all over the world attending – many of them travelling from half a world away just for this to take part in.
What elseis left to say but – THANK YOU for supporting us for the last and the next 20 years.
