Pure Perlon (100% Unofficial!) mixed by Darren Allen
Yesterday I was waiting patiently for a package to be delivered to my door. It never arrived... Anyone like Me who relies on the postman to deliver their new batch of 12"s will understand my frustration when on the second day in a row the postman is a no show. So rather than take a hissy fit and wallow in self pity (like I normally do) I decided to make myself uselful and get round to recording that mix I'd been meaning to do for a super long(evity) time... This mix that lasts just under two hours was recorded using all Perlon vinyl from my collection. Initially I just wanted to digitise a lot of it for my iPod considering you can't listen to them anywhere but on your turntables. Also, I'm always banging onto my mates about how much i love the label and since they have no means to listen to the records then why not serve them up a bit of a treat? Others that spin digital only should appreciate it as well since the one minute samples on the net can't possibly do these timeless pieces any justice. For anyone looking for a nice introduction to the label then this would be a nice place to start. So, I got all my Perlon records together, selected Markus Nikolai - Mr. Big Star (from Superlongevity 3 – the purple and yellow one), pressed start on the turntable and hit record. The track selection was unplanned, mixed once with no effects. I wanted to capture the vibe of Perlon and what the label means to me (deeeep, timeless, stripped back, sexy and fun) by selecting a broad range of tracks and artists spawning the years from its inception (1997) - 2008 -- I made an effort not to include all the obvious big hitters (on closer inspection I don't think there are any?), I also decided not to include any of the 2009 releases since they're still too fresh in my mind while at the same time I made an effort to include some of my personal favs. All in all I think it turned out well. Mission accomplished. Hopefully You enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed creating
DA.
