About Paroxysm Ltd:

Paroxysm Ltd is an international event production & promotion crew, but also a record label based in Albania and operating in Europe.

The idea started by husband and wife Avni & Isabelle Leka in the summer of 2022 while they were in Marseille and it became a reality with their first event in November of that same year in the second largest city of France.

After partnering up with Vekh (Kevin Haouji) just shortly after their first event, the family started to grow and the idea for a record label (launching officially in the spring of 2024) became a reality.

Our manifesto:
We are committed to an old school rave vibe and favoring artists who play analog. our shows are mostly vinyl only or live performances of many kind, no digital djs or instagram and tiktok new wave stars allowed and you can expect to find some of the best Techno-DnB-UK Breaks-Acid-House music acts performing at our events.

We are seriously committed and before being event producers we were (and still are)  ravers, we come from the dance floor and we work for the dance floor, thinking as a partygoer and not as a business/promoter when we organize something.

Our crew is international and very diverse, different religions, ethnicities and genders united by the same passion for music and we always set our parties up to be as inclusive as possible.
We firmly stand against any form of discrimination although we hate posers and fake people, same also for any form of harassment  and violence of any sort: zero tolerance.

The mood at our events is the one you would expect in the best electronic music venues of the world, we care a lot about pairing a good live act with an amazing sound system and a great vibe, that's why we select at the door and we encourage people attending our events to not use phones on the dancefloor and to not take pictures while in the middle of the crowd, in order to respect everyone's space, privacy and place.

We hope to see you soon at one of our upcoming events, check our social media(s) to know what is going on and where ;)

About our record label: we release both on vinyl and digital format, many interesting artists are being signed on our label, some known (Like John Beltran, Lindsey Herbert or Vekh just to name a few) and some lesser known but absolutely talented who deserve to be released out there and get known! Our A&R (Vekh) works hard to always bring you the best music, if you like our sound and if you think your productions deserve to be released just send us a demo, we will always review it and get back to you with a contract if we find it worth it. You can email demos to vekhmusic@gmail.com or just reach out through our social media pages, we will always reply as soon as possible :)

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
