Very nice

Any chance of a Perlon label special in the future

We tried but they are really out of it and we don´t ask people triply.

Fair enough, they are rather mysterious aren't they? ;-) The website has been work in progress for many years now, that is out of it :p

How about any of the following:

Spectral Sound/Ghostly
Vakant (saw a little in the Alex Smoke special)
Sushitech/Pariter
Triebstoff
Substatic

Are interviews/features limited to people/labels/artists visiting Berlin or are you able to do features, for example, Spectral, based outside of Germnany?

Perlon is not mysterious - i would say confused ;-)

We´re filming everywhere not only in berlin - this would be boring and we don´t declare our Mag as a Berlin Mag. We´re international.
For the new issue we go to Vienna, London and Turku / Finland but of course it´s a bit limited, we can`t film every feature outside berlin about budget reasons

Yeah sorry - really too much emails!
I try to answer quick but sometimes it´s impossible when we´re on tour.
In between we have to produce our DVDs ;-)

That´s why we just do what we like or think it´s interesting and try to avoid this typical Promotion Spiral.
I think that´s why some promoters don´t like us ;-)

Hope you understand.
Yeah, I understand if you don't want to put the 'Maetrik - Prophecy' video on your Slices DVD magazine, but I would have liked if you had had the time to just do a very short reply "Sorry, it doesn't interest us", instead of me thinking something else
I also sent you the DVD in the post, but still I got no reply from you guys.

How many videos for electronic music do you receive each week?

Well, I didn't get pissed last year when I asked if you would do a Copenhagen city special which wasn't in your interest at that time. I think it's fair that you say what you want to do and not want to do.
At least that's better than not replying at all.

Hope you understand too
And then all the best to you guys for making a great DVD magazine.

While I agree with you, that seems to be the way business is. If you don't get a reply back from somebody...it's more than likely a no. As a rule of thumb, I usually give them about a week to reply back and then I write them off.

Surely that can be true yes, still it's not a good rule IMO.
But never the less, it's Friday and I'm ready for some partying... !
