German-based outfit who have written and produced over 170 records over the last 12 years and are regarded as one of Germany's most successful music production companies. Production company 'Perky Park Music' emerged out of the artist-songwriting-production team of Merziger, Kammermeier and Hayo, which - as synth-pop band 'Planet Claire' - generated chart hit "Heaven in Your Hands" in 1988, alongside two albums. The house/techno euphoria of the early 1990s brought the team to Frankfurt. From that point onwards, they produced literally scores of club tracks on internationally acknowledged labels (such as Harthouse, Touché, R&S, Noom and Music Man). One of those club hits, the trance classic "Una musica senza ritmo" by 'Degeneration', was recently re-released in Europe, the USA and Japan. The increasing popularity of electronic music eventually led to songs which the trio wrote for international pop acts like 'Culture Beat'. Many of these songs made it into the German and international charts. "Rendez Vous" turned into the biggest radio hit for Culture Beat (Top 4 in the airplay charts). The hit single "Walk the Same Line" and several songs for the albums "Metamorphosis" and "Inside Out" also originated from Perky Park. In 2001 the team returned to its roots in the club music scene. In collaboration with DJ act M.A.N.D.Y. (who are DJ duo Phil D. Young and PatBo) they worked out a unique new club sound, which is being honed and perfected since the establishment (together with M.A.N.D.Y. and DJ T) of their own record label 'Get Physical Music'. Together with M.A.N.D.Y., Perky Park is continuing to produce successful remixes in the dance charts, such as for Silicone Soul ("Right On"), Galleon ("So I Begin"), Sugababes ("Round and Round") and Daniel Bedingfield ("Gotta Get Thru This"). In the field of dance-pop they recently landed a hit - together with 'Heaven 17' singer Glenn Gregory and electro legend - under the pseudonym 'Goldpeople': "Music Don't Stop". The trio recently relocated their studio to Berlin, where - alongside the generation of various club and commercial hits - Perky Park produce advertising music for several consumer products companies including Sony Playstation. The outfit also have their own publishing company - 'Edition Perky Park' - which is connected with Warner Chappell, the world's largest publishing house.
