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

Radio On Vacation With Hidden Spheres

We’d like to thank you all for another amazing year. A big highlight for us this year was the pop-up store we put together with Inch by Inch Record Store at Amsterdam’s Vrij Paleis for ADE 2023. Over the next few months we’ll be sharing some of the highlights from the Dj sets/live sets/talks we recorded throughout this week. To kick things of, here’s @move-d’s set from 18th of October. Let’s Go!

Move D @ Inch By Inch Pop-Up Store (Amsterdam Dance Event 2023)

The beloved DJ unpacks his most influential records in our flagship live series, Playing Favourites, recorded at Dekmantel in August.

Palms Trax, the beloved British DJ and producer considered a "veteran" of the scene at only 33 years old, hit it big with a career breakout back in 2015. Since then, he's become known for his long-running radio show and record label, Cooking With Palms Trax, where he releases new music, reissues and more. His style is soulful, gravitating towards low-BPM house, disco, zouk and everything in between.

Recorded at Dekmantel in August, this RA Exchange is the latest edition of our flagship live series, Playing Favourites, where we invite artists to curate and dissect some of the records that shaped their approach to music. Palms Trax speaks to RA editor Gabriel Szatan about the song that acted as a gateway to his musical education; the track that turned him onto the idea of making music; and the band that he considers to be the "coolest of all time," as well as forthcoming music on his own label.

What unites these releases, Palms Trax says, is a powerful, ageless and immediately accessible sensibility. They aren't about technical mastery but about feeling. As music-making has become easier with the advent of perfectly engineered online samples, there's more and more appeal in music with humanity and character. Listen to the episode in full.
