Biography of Parris Taylor

House in the sun, with a percussionist's pulse

Daylight, percussion, and a warm take on house are Parris Taylor's natural terrain. His background includes over fifteen years of playing drums and percussion, a rhythmic baggage he later transferred to his DJ sets. He began DJing in early 2013 and developed his first stage in the London circuit, with performances at Ministry of Sound, Pacha London, Egg London, Supperclub, The Box, Studio 338 and We Are FSTVL, as well as residencies at Raffles Chelsea, HotBed and La Maison De Artist. He grew up in a family closely linked to music, an environment that broadened his culture before his leap into the studio.

Soul, disco and vocals for a luminous dancefloor

His selection moves between soulful house, deep house, disco house and vocal house, with fluid rhythms and a positive energy suitable for both an afternoon by the sea and a night club. The roots of James Brown, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Parliament and Roy Ayers coexist with booth references like Maceo Plex, Lee Foss, Maya Jane Coles, Sven Väth, Sam Divine and Dubfire. Taylor graduates the intensity, leaves room for vocals and uses percussion as a connecting element. This sensitivity has also extended to creating atmospheres off the dancefloor through music playlists for the Wi-Ki-Woo hotel in Ibiza.

Paravana, from Cambodia to the O Beach booth

His activity is not limited to DJing. He participated in the organization of Paravana and Swankys together with Tony Lowther and Lloyd Nwagboso. Paravana was born from a conversation between Taylor and Lowther on a beach in Cambodia; the name combines the concepts of paradise and nirvana, and its identity revolves around collective connection through deep and sensual house with disco accents. The project has found its recurring stage at O Beach Ibiza. In parallel, Taylor worked with Nwagboso under Headspace and in the Parris & Lloyd format, expanding his journey between promotion, residencies and shared performances.

Ibizan residency and new record stage

The relationship with O Beach has become the axis of his current stage. As a resident of Pool Party, he appears consistently in the club's programming and on Ibiza Global Radio broadcasts. His 2026 schedule brings together performances at the opening and closing of O Beach, Paravana, Soul Heaven, the opening of Eden and a B2B with Perry Martin for Defected at Chinois. His facet as a producer has gained visibility with Count On Me and Falling, released in 2025 through O Beach Music. The former condenses his approach well: house rhythm, soul vocals and an openly festive vocation. By linking the London scene, the culture of daytime parties and the creation of his own concepts, Taylor occupies a defined position within the luminous and vocal house associated with Ibiza.
