Beard In Dust - RoRyaRe

Panorama Bar resident, Love On The Rocks label boss and one of dance music’s most in-demand DJs, producers and remixers, PARAMIDA returns to her own imprint with ‘Devil’s Destination,’ her first EP in 3 years. Set for release on 9th May, it features two brand new solo tracks, a collaborative re-interpretation of a rare 2000s tech house classic with E-Talking, and a remix by the legendary Mathew Jonson.

PARAMIDA’s reputation as a digger and student of dance music is translated here into an EP that showcases her unique and interdisciplinary approach to production, curation and DJing, threading the needle in a way that pays tribute to the past, locates itself in the present, and pushes forward into a new and exciting future – the hallmark of her label, described by Groove magazine as “one of the best house labels of the decade”.

The EP opens with its title track, and wastes none of its 8-minute runtime getting to the point: a huge, enveloping bassline (courtesy of 90s progressive trance producer Musique de Marque), to the effect of instant chills. If Love On The Rocks releases can be defined by certain characteristics, one of them is undoubtedly the presence of big emotional hits. PARAMIDA wants her listeners to feel something, with the full impact of emotions that can only truly be felt on a dance floor. A swirl of vocal samples and hi-hats precede it, before it drops directly into a thumping percussive workout replete with huge kicks, dubby bleeps and rewinds. Calling back to the cross-pollinated sound of 90's house, breakbeat and rave to devastating effect, she punctuates segments of jump-up energy with pauses that propel the listener right back into the feels, before unleashing a groove as introspective and melancholy as it is connective and ecstatic.

The EP continues with ‘On Process’ – a collaboration with E-Talking and re-interpretation of ‘Incidental Beats’ by Jean Marie K and People On Process, a French deep/tech house release on Megaphone Records from 2002. Here, the two show their skill at identifying and reworking obscure gems and influential classics whilst paying respectful tribute to them (as demonstrated on their update to Anja Schneider and Sebo K’s ‘Rancho Relaxo’ from 2024.) Lifting the disco-leaning percussion and bassline of the original, along with its contrasting dub techno/tech-house pads and synth lines, they blend the components into a gentle, endlessly progressing dreamscape that shifts effortlessly between diverse genre lines.

This sets the stage for a stunning interpretation by the massively influential Mathew Jonson, who leans into the dubby tech-house of it all. Over 8 minutes of detailed and pristine drum programming and insistent forward motion, he effortlessly connects elements of minimal, electro and tech house, layering moody twists and turns that situate the remix pitch-perfectly on an EP that surprises in both its daring and its subtlety.

‘Devil’s Destination’ closes with ‘Sayonara’, a two-and-a-half minute beatless coda, which calls back to PARAMIDA’s predilection for ambient and dream house, previously explored on ’33’ from her 2022 EP ‘Moonrise VII’. It’s a patchwork of vocal samples, reverb, delay, pads, and a proto-house bassline sitting in a soft universe between dreaming and consciousness; perhaps, a glimpse into the mind of its maker.

In short: Essential.

"Are You in Heaven?" was famously shouted by Roxy DJ Eddy de Clercq to the crowd at one of the very first legendary house parties in Amsterdam. This phrase not only symbolizes an iconic moment that captured the spirit of the era—it’s also the title of one of the three tracks featured here.

In 1991, inspired by the dance music craze that swept across Europe at the time, Arnoud Winkler and Jochem Peteri (who would later become the one-man supergroup Newworldaquarium) produced music that is equal parts euphoric, emotive, vital, and vibrant—youthful in spirit, naive yet clever. A European translation of a US-American art form, born from pure enthusiasm and concentrated passion for a culture that, to this day, continues to resonate universally.

Originally released on Lower East Side Records, the story told here is full of rave symbolism, after-party joy, and literal can-you-feel-it moments: rattling sub-bass, blissful pads, whispering voices, dub techniques, and subconscious peak-time signals.

Complemented by a new edit of Ulysses Horizon by Gerd Janson (alongside a revised version of the original), alongside Flowerdale Beach, and Are You in Heaven?, the music here hasn’t lost a single inch of its charm or allure.

A taste of Dutch house deluxe.

Next up in the series, we welcome DJ, producer, and conscious artist @itsams__ Representing a new generation of creatives, her deep, percussive, and introspective sound blends modern house with a forward-thinking vision of club culture. From her debut on Nervous Records to standout EPs on Shall Not Fade and sets across Europe, Ams is carving out a distinct space—connecting people through music and purpose.

Here’s her perspective on how the mix came together:

“I loved putting together this 90-minute mix. I really took my time to let it build slowly, keeping things deep and percussive throughout. I tried to hold onto a sexy groove all the way, guided by hypnotic drums and subtle shifts in energy. Most of the tracks are from the early 00s, with a few recent gems that just fit the vibe. It’s deep house with character — playful, a bit sensual, always pushing forward. It starts with my latest ambient track, setting a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere…”

80’s NYC NRG loft party vibes from CC:DISCO! on remix duty for Daisybelle.

There once was a DJ named Daisybelle, Who played records fantastically well,
With Tasty Lopez she’d shout, “Eyes Wide Shut” all about,
Till the dancefloor was caught in their spell!

They journeyed from London to Puerto, With CCDISCO’s remixes in tow,
On HE.SHE.THEY. RECORDS they’d bounce, With high-energy sounds to announce,
Making sunrise sessions brilliantly glow!

The vinyl-driven Daisybellian beat, Made fabric and Pikes quite replete,
With eclectic selection, And musical connection,
The Printworks crowd stamped with their feet!

Oh! The shimmer and ravey tension! And dancefloors too many to mention!
With euphoria slow-burning bright, Till the darkness turned into light,
A melodic house music invention!


 
London-via-Puerto Rico DJ/producer Daisybelle is a regular at fabric and Pike.  Eyes Wide Shut features vocals from Tasty Lopez. We’re premiering the 80’s bounce of CC:DISCO!’s rework…

Get it on, let’s go.

Madezh @ Masters (Zagreb)-19.04.2025

Artist: Loz Goddard
Title: Prism Riot EP
Label: Physical Education
Cat No: PE023
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Slug Dance
A2. Prism Riot
B1. Snadestation
B2. Minimizer Ray

Loz Goddard steps into new sonic territory on his Physical Education debut—delivering four machine-driven cuts rooted in analog hardware sounds, with high-energy rhythms and dancefloor intent. Leaving behind the sample-heavy textures and live instrumentation of previous releases, this EP leans more into synthesizers and drum machines, channelling the pulse of classic club gear with plenty of added bounce. Subtle nods to the sounds and moods of 90s and early 2000s video games add a nostalgic digital sheen—balancing playfulness, drive and warmth in equal measure.

Four forward-thinking jams from a seasoned producer.

Limited vinyl pressing coming soon on Baldo’s Physical Education label.
