Perfecto Digital

It looks like Perfecto has finally gone digital with their first release being Robert Vadney - SledgeHammer 2008 (Radio Edit). According to Beatport this was released Feb 12, 2008. Pretty exciting to see Perfecto finally get with the times. Hopefully they can get some of their back catalogue sorted out and release some of those gems as well!

Yeah back catalogue would be ace, there's a lot of the fluoro stuff I want to get my hands on.

From the interview I heard with Oakey, he said forget about hearing the back catalouge on digital. He said it won't happen.

didn't they already release oakenfold's album digitally when it came out? and i remember reading somewhere that they won't be releasing any of their back catalogue digitally because they'd have to get permission from each and every artist for that.

Yup thats the reason Oakey gave in the interview, which was:

Paul Oakenfold - 2006 05 24 - Interview On Groove Radio

It smacks of laziness. All it takes is a few emails. Flying Rhino are doing that and their back catalogue is appearing on the Internet for free (and legal) download.

Old Perfecto stuff would sell well on the download stores. Its just that they cant be bothered to do it.

They release that back catalog and I'm back to spinning trance for a while.

+1 Seriously

Those releases helped me get into Trance in the first place, during my "total EDM noob" stage

Yeah I remember that interview too. And I also remember reading that Oakey said he'd only ever spin vinyl... Look where that went.

I can hope, right? I just won't hold my breath.

They probably lost a lot of those old masters;just like bonzai. That's the only reason they're not going to put their backcatalogue online. That artist permission excuse is bs.

If their backcatalogue isn't showing up then there's no fuss needed about this label going digital. As of now, it's a huge pile of shit.

Well the difference being that it takes less effort to play CDs, but it takes more effort to set up a digital back catolouge.

I'd be more interested in seeing old BT/Quivver/Mozaic et al stuff re-released than the Fluoro stuff.

You'd think it'd be a profitable move for them to put their back catalogue online, given that Perfecto has been a consistently popular label since its inception.

which of bonzai's old masters are lost? I know they have put up some stuff from 95 and 96 up for download. is it the stuff before those years?

I say don't release the Fluoro stuff as the vinyls are all you need

True, but they cost a fortune due to rarity and in the modern age, a download should be available for those who dont really want to pay top dollar for a dusty, scratched vinyl from an old box in a smokers garage

Perfecto are a lazy bunch of fools for refusing to do this.

In this month's Mixmag:

"..Paul Oakenfold has announced that his label Perfecto will begin releasing tunes via digital download in 2008, 'We've had so much great music locked away for a while and now we have the chance to unleash it,' Oakie told us."

Either he's indicating that Perfecto have a lot of new releases that have piled up, or he's referring to their back catalogue. A reason to be optimistic, at least.

So far it's been the 1st, not the 2nd. Sledgehammer, On All My Sundays and Break And Fall have been released on Beatport.

wish he d hurry up and release nat mondays bad apples remix - been after that over a yr and a half now!

Dont think so I've never done it but I'd imagine it'd be easy enough.

Wouldnt take one person more than a few weeks to do.

Any CD stuff -> Rip to .wav, send .wav to Beatport.
Set up a batch operation in Goldwave to convert .wav to 320 and 192 mp3s.
Let the computer crunch all this.

Masters need to be copied to the computer, not sure how thats done with older stuff.

In any case, I cant see it being a massive, insurmountable amount of work. Hell I'm sure any big music fan would do it for FREE if they were allowed a copy of each track.

now you're just getting people's hopes up!!! i was just listening to that the other day thinking of how good it was.

I want the old Fluoro stuff.

I swear, Oakenfold would be the biggest douchefag EVER if he didn't back catalogue the label...
