Many electronic artists are inspired by the glorious heyday of ’90s rave, but few artists have sought to explore the many threads that make up that decade’s sound in as deep a way as Paramida. The Berlin-based Panorama Bar resident began her career as a DJ and label head, curating her imprint’s vibe by giving each artist these specific instructions: “Imagine it’s 1992, you are at a rave in Goa on the beach. It’s 8am, what’s the track playing? Make that track.”
After experimenting with producing edits to drop in DJ sets, Paramida decided VII. Her impressive, multifaceted interests as a record collector are on full display on her monthly Rinse FM show and as a DJ, Paramida continues to dig deep and experiment with the influences that make up her sound, pulling from both obscure cuts and party tracks to keep listeners locked in and dancing.
