  the whole biography

  Paramida moved to Berlin in 2010 and has since made an impact to the local club scene with a distinctive and sensualizing approach to music. Her varied sets represent something hopeful, something unusual, something unlikely. A beacon of pleasure and surprise. Blending proto-house to trance, percussive gems with high-energy techno, Italian dream house and irresistible new beat – Paramida is truly committed to digging. The Panorama Bar resident is a confident, talented and occasionally provocative artist in a city whose musical rules are often made to be played by and begging to be broken. While working at OYE Records, she began her life as a DJ between a tireless party scene by night and days immersed in music. In the years since, those same instincts have taken Paramida to far-out places. Her singular thirst for often obscure, always incredible music has lead her to residencies at two of the world's most renowned nightclubs. Already a regular fixture in the booth at Offenbach’s rightfully coveted Robert Johnson, she started her residency at Berghain’s Panorama Bar in 2020. Having impressed on many occasions, whether conducting winningly trippy afternoon excursions through to a number of unpredictable closing sets, extending well beyond sunrise, dancers always share the energy of Paramida’s singular obsession. Outside of dancefloor expectations, Paramida’s recent discoveries and closely-held gems make up the soundtrack of her monthly show on Rinse FM. Paramida’s taste is also the guiding spirit at the heart of Love On The Rocks, the label she founded in 2014. Its catalogue is defined by irresistible, offbeat club anthems and unexpected 12"s adapted from the dustiest corners of outsider dance culture, bringing together elements from nu-disco, trance, acid, deep and progressive house, breaks and ambient music across continents. Many of the unlikely and treasured connections that form the backbone of Love On The Rocks have been established as Paramida has travelled the world, performing at clubs and festivals across Europe as well as Asia, Australia, Central and South America. Devoted to the euphoric potential of nightlife, Paramida is one of dance music’s true characters; a passionate proponent of music, a devoted resident and quite simply, a DJ always worth hearing.

  the whole biography

  Voiski has been a leading figure in techno music for more than a decade. Becoming, since his debut, a very interesting and respected artist around the world, he succeeded in keeping his huge musical aura and sound through the years and fashions. From an Iranian background, he has always been very connected to spiritual music and trance in particular. The element of repetition is ongoing through his catalog, creating a direct link to his beloved minimalistic classical composers and his Iranian roots. Experienced live performer, Voiski is also an amazing DJ. His love for classic electro gets space to shine here, together with segments of underestimated beatless material, breaking up the steady pattern of the kick drum. Appearing around the world under his own name, Homāyun Kheradmand goes under many guises and is part of several constellations aside from his main alias. Famous for being the other part of the very popular Polar Inertia, you can also meet him as Vrilski (with Vril), Superski (with Eliott Litrowski), Wav (with Wata Igarashi), Kartei (with Crysta Patterson) or with Hadone on their recent collaboration. On the production side, Voiski is a very prolific musician. With more than 200 tracks and 20 EP’s, his compositions are released on the creme de la creme of labels including Bassiani, Mama told Ya, L.I.E.S, Dekmantel, ARA and Delsin. In a time when the techno world often can give the impression of “the harder, the better”, Voiski is not afraid to admit he wants his music and DJ- sets to contain groove and is all about proposing an alternative sound for a deeply charismatic techno which can speak to everyone.

Teeyam is one half of a new experimental dance music project with the prolific, John Barera. PHREAKERS is self-described as “Sludge-induced gutter techno acid punk”.
