Next up on Carhartt WIP Radio is DJ and label owner @paramida. Since moving from Frankfurt to the German capital in 2010, she has garnered a reputation for DJ sets that combine elements of rough proto-house, energetic techno, trippy trance, kicking new beat and  dreamy Italo house.

Paramida’s multifaceted approach to DJing is rooted in her love of crate-digging, a passion further fueled by working for the record store Oye, before going on to launch her own series of parties, and subsequently a record label, named @loveontherocks, in 2014. The label is, in her words, an “experiment in musical exploration, embracing artists both known and unknown, music both old and new.”  
 
So far, it has released music by renowned artists like @massimilianopagliara, @fantastic-man, and Italian edit specialist DJ Steve. The label’s “Supergau” compilation series, meanwhile, features work by nascent artists, such as @ivanberko from New York City and @warehousepreservation from Los Angeles, while it has also released several reissues, including obscure gems from 1980s German synth-pop trio Romie Singh. 

It is this diversity of sound that has helped Paramida establish herself her own unique niche, playing to crowds throughout Europe, as well as Vietnam, South Korea and Brazil. Closer to home, and on the back of a residency at Offenbach’s mythic Robert Johnson club, she also began a new residency at Berlin’s infamous Panorama Bar shortly before the pandemic struck in early 2020. At a time when dancefloors lay empty and silent, Paramida has continued to keep herself busy through her monthly @rinsefm radio show, two new shows at Berlin’s @refugeworldwide platform, and a show on Frankfurt’s @eosfrankfurt. 

For Carhartt WIP Radio Paramida found some time to create a well-balanced Love On The Rocks mix that features older classics from producers like @telephones from Norway or the Detroit electronic musician @shariflaffrey as well more recent material by Berlin-based producers like @longhairlive and @alexkassian.

As always, we talked to our host about her label’s philosophy and her first steps as a DJ, as well as a few quickfire questions. Check the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

Carhartt WIP Radio June 2021: Paramida - Love On The Rocks Radio Show

To kick-start our new solar orbit, Amsterdam's Nera (@nera-ja) has programmed the next instalment of Virtual Utopia. A 90-minute future-space voyage through progressive trance and everything that surrounds. Close your eyes, and know the destination will be great, but the journey much greater...

This program aims to imitate the sensation of drifting consciously into the never-ending centre point of focus. Within the initial section you will be greeted by an artificial-intelligence 'DEEP-DREAM™' avatar who will lift you out of earths stratosphere and into distant realities,  then will guide you through chromatic fractal hallways where yourself reflects back at you infinite times, optimised for introspection.

Tunneling endlessly through squiggly acid lines that travel through you like plasma, a macro-dosed journey through utopian visions and future civilisations,  an interlaced groove keeps this simulation a high-vibe-emitter from start to finish.  Emulating the sensation of travelling through an internet cable, spanning genres but still maintaining light speed progression.

Nera has provided an explorative, espionage mission to discover metallic artefacts of otherworldy materials. Throughout the mission there is ability to discover the distant expanse of the known universe, yet inspect the unfathomable dimensions of whats beyond the molecule.

Strap in and connect to your CIU (Cerebral Interface Unit) - the simulation is about to begin...

Patch Notes: "Many thanks to Laura for this high-propulsion mix, and happy new year to all <3"

Live Recording from our last Party at PRST Club.

Since we first saw Maksym play last year, we quickly knew he had a special energy to him. His talent for seamlessly mixing character tracks, combined with his magnetic appearance, makes him a true gem in the Viennese electronic music scene. This set is a live recording from our last party in December, where he took over after the opening. It confirms what we already felt. Enjoy the ecstatic, sexy, and emotional journey we shared while dancing to it.
