Biography of PARAMIDA

Cosmic euphoria from Panorama Bar

The Panorama Bar booth encapsulates much of PARAMIDA's magnetism: a mixing style that avoids Berlin dogma and transforms the club into a luminous, sensual, and strange territory. With Persian roots and born and raised in Germany, she spent part of her adolescence in Tehran, where she encountered clandestine parties before returning to Hesse and getting closer to the Frankfurt and Offenbach scene. Robert Johnson was a decisive reference in that dancefloor education, and Berlin ended up concentrating her activity since 2010.

Rare records, hedonism, and broken rules

Her career was built on obsessive listening and record store work: while passing through OYE Records, she began to shape a selector identity that crosses proto-house, trance, italo, new beat, energetic techno, Italian dream house, and percussive gems. In 2015, she performed at Panorama Bar for the first time, and in 2020, she joined their resident team, a position that solidified her international reputation. Her sets, often extensive and unpredictable in nature, rely on an uncompromising archival search: dance music with memory, but without decorative nostalgia.

Love On The Rocks as a declaration of independence

In 2014, she founded Love On The Rocks, a label that functions as a direct extension of her taste: melodic, rare, and functional club records where nu-disco, acid, deep house, breaks, ambient, trance, and progressive sensibility coexist. The label has developed its own community of producers and vinyl buyers, and in 2024, it celebrated its tenth anniversary with the compilation Sky Is The Limit. Her criteria as a curator have been as important as her presence behind the decks, positioning her as a central figure in the contemporary return of trance, italo, and prog languages to the European underground.

From radio to the studio without losing edge

As a producer, PARAMIDA began defining her own material starting in 2020 and released Dream Ritual in 2021, followed by Moonrise VII in 2022 and Devil’s Destination in 2025, all linked to her universe of psychedelic rave, samples, and nineties synthesis. She has also maintained a radio presence on Rinse FM, Refuge Worldwide, and BBC Radio 1, where she held a residency in 2023 and an Essential Mix in 2024. Recognized by BBC 100 Women in 2023, she occupies a unique position: a global-reach DJ, label founder, and narrator of a freer, more euphoric, and culturally open dancefloor.
