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

Wax’o Paradiso Recordings continues its dive into the extraordinary canon of contemporary Antipodean psychedelia with its second outing on vinyl, four spacious and soaring balearic cuts from local duo Donald’s House. 

From the glistening textures of 37° South (featuring renowned Australian percussionist Phil Stroud), to meandering meditative freakouts Aurora Australis and Under the Lilypad, to the italo new beat muscularity of ‘Budge-E Beat’, Donald’s House are showcasing a constantly evolving versatility and a truly unique take on the acid trip sunrise at the metaphorical Café del Murray.

A2 Aurora Australis

this new slighlty damaged mix, by @florentbey, is a tribute to all those end-of-race moments, when the body is at the end of its capacity, focus is at its lowest, and everything leads us to think that the only remedy would be to go to bed, but you can't bring yourself to it. 

When you're running on fumes, embrace the haze.

Enjoy.

No Apri No Party : BEDUGUL 21.07.2025

This track was inspired by Lakej's masterclass. I followed his method to get grainy textures and tried to create more complex sounding elements and with a simple build, tension and release. Through recent upheaval the track reflects both the unease and clarity of moving through inner conflict.

"Während der musikalische Fokus von OYE in den frühen Zweitausendern besonders auf Latin und Brazilian Music lag, hat sich der Laden mit seinen beiden Filialen in Kreuzberg und im Prenzlauer Berg in der folgenden Zeit zu einer der wichtigsten Anlaufstellen für House, Techno, Disco und Artverwandtes entwickelt. Und OYE verkauft längst nicht nur Platten. Diverse eigene Labels wurden aus dem Umfeld der Läden heraus gegründet. Außerdem entstand eine hauseigene Partyreihe, die sich auf Vinyl-Sets spezialisiert hat."
