The high and mighty Perfecto Records has created a landmark 25 years in the Dance Music fraternity! Yes, you read that right! It’s been a quarter century since their first release Izit ‘Stories’! Founded by non other than Triple Grammy nominated and former DJ Mag # 1 DJ, producer and former Champion Records A&R man Paul Oakenfold – Perfecto began at a time when house music, rave culture and the Balearic scene were all in full bloom in the UK. Since its first release Perfecto went on to release the music of countless headliners of the future including Carl Cox, David Guetta, BT, Man with No Name, Timo Maas, Tiësto, Grooverider and many more. It of course also served as a platform for Oakenfold and his many guises including Grace and PlanetPerfecto to present his exciting, fresh sounds to the world. And it was his pioneering writing, production style and sound that would lead to Grammy nominations and numerous high profile co-writing and remix jobs with the likes of Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Azealia Banks, U2, The Happy Mondays and so on!
Today, the iconic music label continues to thrive with a new line up of exciting young talent – all making fresh melodic music from house to breaks, trance to EDM for the famous P shield that hangs on the wall at Perfecto’s UK offices. Head honcho Paul Oakenfold takes over the decks at the Perfecto office to unveil a stunning new compilation that features 34 tracks spanning nearly three decades! Telling an epic story, the compilation will educate, thrill, excite and inspire. Here’s what the master had to say about the album compilation.
From the soulful house of Mozaic ‘Sing it’ (The Hallelujah Song) through to the ripping Goa trance sounds of Man with No Name I feel confident this album really is an authentic representation of the many stages of Perfecto’s evolution. But with such a massive back catalogue the task of choosing just thirty or so tracks to represent the absolute creme de la creme of Perfecto proved to be quite a challenge. However, after a great deal of retrospective research and passionate, often heated, debate with the team in my office (who are all die hard Perfecto fans) I think we’ve settled on a tracklist that is an entirely fitting tribute to the many chapters of the Perfecto story.
A man that has been truly adored and loved amidst audiences over countries and cultures around the world, the compilation will reciproacate all that love back through an exhaustive and immersive playlist of the best and Perfecto tracks of the last 25 years!
