Very excited to have our friend Esther join the paradia mix series

Esther’s been making musical waves for sometime now as a resident at the beloved @teak_music in Cardiff, as well as holding down a @noodsradio residency in Bristol and releasing a very exciting EP next year - head over to our insta link tree to check it out 🌳

Esther’s also cofounder of @paradisegardencdf (alongside @david_j_bull ) which is well worth a visit for the hi-fi, cosy hurt outback, and great music heads community - exactly the sort of place we need more of

The mix is a great example of Esther’s sound - a blend of lovely intricate tunes that also pack a punch and get a dancefloor going. Make sure you lock in for the full journey ⚫️

Massive thanks again Esther and looking forward to all the exciting music to come x

17th November 2023 - Viscera & Paradia at Low Profile Studios

Next up on the Paradia mix series: Elfenberg

Elfenberg aka Viktor has had our attention for a long time now so we’re super excited to welcome him to the Paradia series. Having tried his hand at many a dance music genre by now, Elfenberg never disappoints. From cosmic chug to prog that’ll take you back to the 90s, Viktor has it all...

This is a mix that explores new depths to Viktor’s sound, aptly timed to celebrate the recent EP ‘Without Further A Dude’ which was released in April on Jennifer Carfini‘s Correspondants Records

Take a dive and enjoy 🏊‍♂️ 

The rest is noisssse

[3.03] PARADIA w/ Elfenberg

Excited to be finally sharing a live recording of @arianev from the most recent @Optick_dance party with our @Visceramusic compadres. Going strength to strength in London's music scene, this mix is an example of what Ariane V does best, connecting the dots between balaeric cuts, glistening house, chug and italo. Her Balamii residency has seen guest appearances from the likes of Secretsundaze, Moxie and Hardway Bros (Sean Johnson). Her growing reputation as a broadcaster and DJ has gained international attention, recently warming up for Berghain resident Roi Perez at @PlanetGroove, Belgium. 

Here's a few words from Ariane V herself ...

"Sometimes you play a set and wish it had been recorded, and this was one of those times - but it actually *was* recorded. I've never released a recording of a live set before, and I'm so glad this gets to be the first. The Viscera/Paradia guys who played before me on the night played a great opening set ending around 100 bpm, which gave me all the freedom to do whatever I wanted with my slot. Going from chug, to balearic, to acid, slowly bringing it up to house tempos. Exactly the kind of set I love playing. A definite highlight for me was a group of guys shazaming Gazza's Fog on the Tyne. Thank you for having me and for recording the set and putting it out there for everyone to hear ❤️''

The rest is nooooiiiise

[3.04] PARADIA w/ Ariane V

Cowper’s ‘Minus Eight’ is a low, slow, dark and experimental track that goes deep into hypnotic psychedelia weaving together a woozy trip of ambient, new beat, EBM and Goa trance ⭕️

With a soundscape as eclectic as it is bass-heavy, it’s no wonder Cowper comes from the counter-cultural hub of Bristol, the UK city known for stretching the limits of sound, where he runs the Between Stations party and a monthly show on Noods Radio ✖️

Full VA coming out in September...

Come see Cowper play at our launch event on 20th September - tickets here: https://hdfst.uk/e112536

PREMIERE: Cowper - Minus Eight [Paradia]

It was hard to see what was really there, lurking between the shadows. The darkness tended to conceal a world of mystery and haunting truths – invisible forces which danced between the black.

Wandering amongst the trees, they would occasionally catch a glance or a glimmer of a face or a memory lost to the wooded place. It would never stick around for long…

The night was eerie and still, the branches shrouded this part of the world in secrecy and whimsy.

The invisible forces lived here, all of them.

David J Bull features on Volume One of a new compilation series from Paradia – this track caught our ear, a lumbering groove with ominous undertones.

Cowper - Dark Matter

‘DJ Pants' is the alias of multidisciplinary artist / live sound engineer Aditya Mehta. His unique production style and DJ sets combine the sounds of house, street soul, Italo, and balearic. 

For this release, DJ Pants is shifting gears to deliver an upbeat clubby vibe, showcasing his ability to blend driving rhythms with lofty melodies.

DJ Pants - Extra Style

Burning the midnight soil, Wormbox is the amalgamation of two new age cats - Break Mode and Cole Baby - whose collaboration results in something really far out. With mixes for Electric Shapes and Gop Tun, and a growing list of productions popping up on labels around the world, these two worms demonstrate a special pairing which is anything but grounded. 

Their jams are uniquely sewn together by combining each of their distinct production styles, creating a truly singular sound. Pulling from all sides of their electronic and dance music predecessors, the outcome is just as delightful as it is unexpected.
