Ding dong! It's round two of remixes from Benjamin Fröhlich's Amiata (PERMVAC 186-1LP, 2019) album. A great bunch of personal favorites, friends, and heroes enter the ring and deliver the goods: Chloe, Fort Romeau, Marcus Worgull, Yor Kultura, and Tom Bioly aka TB. All of them bring their own touch to Benjamin's originals, breaking them down to their molecular structure rearranging them into new aggregate states. From trance to acid, from lighthearted house to hypnotic trips these tracks will keep no eyes dry and no feet on the ground.

Five producers take on their favorite tracks from Benjamin Fröhlich's debut album Amiata (PERMVAC 186-1LP). First up is Panoramabar resident Massimiliano Pagliara with a raving disco remix of "The Big Sun" in the best Metro Area and Balihu tradition. Rhode & Brown of Munich turn "Tivoli" into a choral house affair for late nights and early mornings, while Good Timin' boss Jex Opolis, funks and speeds up "Secret Alphabet". Leipzig's Panthera Krause comes up with a heart-warming electro version of "Memory FM". Cornelius Doctor from Lyon slices and dices "Secret Alphabet" into a chuggy acid monster.

Benjamin Fröhlich has struck many chords in the arena of electronic music: as a party organizer and record shop owner in his early days, and now as a label owner, DJ, and producer. He is the co-founder of Permanent Vacation Records together with Tom Bioly, which has been up and running since the tropical summer of 2006. Emerging from the vibrant cosmic disco and Balearic scene, Permanent Vacation has been going strong over the past decade with genre-defining hits, albums, and compilations. Fröhlich and Bioly have worked together with the household names of the international electronic dance scene. They have scouted artists like John Talabot, Todd Terje, Tensnake, and Mano Le Tough early in their careers and released their breakthrough records. On top of his dedication to explore and feature rising as well as accomplished artists, Benjamin Fröhlich himself has emerged as a producer of vibrant tracks that are testament to his versatile and compelling approach to club music. His 12-inches, which were well received by DJs and clubbers alike, are accompanied by acclaimed remixes including his Tuff City Kids rework, which made it on Roman Flügel's Fabric mix (FABRIC 189CD, 2017). Now his first album is ready to go! Amiata is a conglomerate of Benjamin Fröhlich's longstanding experience. Just like his DJ sets and work for PV, each of the album's tracks expresses a different facet of his musical preferences. While keeping it under the roof of Benjamin's specific sound, the tracks range from dub hybrids to Italo, disco, and boogie inspired tracks, '90s spacy breakbeats, and electro to classic house ("Last Night" features rising US artist Dreamcast). It is an in-depth exploration of his background and Benjamin Fröhlich's passion to combine the unforgettable past and the gripping present with the tunes of tomorrow.

Benjamin Fröhlich's 2016 EP Rude Movements (PERMVAC 151-1EP, 2016) gets the remix treatment by some of his favorite artists: Permanent Vacation long-time collaborator Lauer tugs "Amos" in with a very cozy Frankfurt trance blanket, while Running Back regular Shan pulls out the curls of "Holloway" thanks to his magic styling iron. The result: a pumping and string heavy affair. On the flipside Brussels's wunderkind Cleveland delivers an energizing and mesmerizing breakbeat version of "Ghost Orchid" for the magic moments in life. While Swiss finest Jack Pattern delivers a cosmic disco reinterpretation of "Spitting Image".
