If you think the only place for high quality contemporary disco is Scandinavia, you must have been asleep for a while. The German city of Munich (Germany's former disco capital) brought up a hot new label with a hand for forgotten gems and top league productions: Permanent Vacation. From the 1980s Belgian new-wave group Antena to Kathy Diamond, all releases show the love for music that targets the dance floor without neglecting the need for songs and melodies. More fabulous people have already contributed songs, albums and remix works to this still young label definitely to be checked out like Joakim, Todd Terje, Ilya Santana or the balearic/leftfield/disco star Lexx. Permanent Vacation is also the home the musical output of the two label owners Tom Bioly and Benji Fröhlich.

Its title both a nod to krautsynth pioneers Tangerine Dream and the scarcity of exotic fruit in former East Germany, Mandarinenträume compiles electronic music from the German Democratic Republic's final decade. Poppish synth tunes explore escapist motives of sci-fi and fantasy, a great historic document unearthed by Permanent Vacation.
