It is mostly a vinyl label, apart from compilations and some artist albums released on CD. No releases have been made available online in digital formats.[3]
Perlon gained international attention with Markus Nikolai's 2000 dance floor hit "Bushes" and the label compilation "Superlongevity 2" in the following year.[4] In his book Energy Flash about rave music and dance culture, Simon Reynolds called Perlon one of the leading labels of its second decade.[5]
Perlon has run a monthly party named 'Get Perlonized' in Berlin.[citation needed] The record label is known for its distinctive graphic design by Chris Rehberger of the graphic design studio Double Standards.[6]
