High above the sparkling coastline of Ibiza, the Nexus Lounge came alive with vibrant conversation, creative energy, and underground dance music culture as acclaimed DJ and producer Paramida joined Farius for an intimate and revealing interview inside the Beyerdynamic Space. Surrounded by panoramic views, sun-soaked skies, and the unmistakable buzz of Ibiza nightlife, Paramida opened up about her artistry, her creative philosophy, and the evolving landscape of electronic music.
Making her debut appearance at the International Music Summit, Paramida arrived with excitement and curiosity, eager to experience one of dance music’s most influential gatherings for the very first time. During the conversation, she shared her anticipation surrounding the week’s festivities, including appearances at the Beatport Awards and a performance later that evening. For Paramida, the summit’s theme of “Reclaim the Dance Floor” perfectly reflected her personal approach to music — one rooted in authenticity, individuality, and genuine artistic expression.
As the discussion shifted toward production techniques, Paramida highlighted the critical role headphones play in both studio work and live performances. Precision and isolation, she explained, are essential tools for capturing every subtle layer within a track. Whether refining a mix or preparing for a set, Paramida emphasized the importance of investing in quality equipment that allows artists to fully connect with their sound.
The interview also offered fans insight into one of Paramida’s latest milestone projects: a major remix for legendary duo Deep Dish on Armada Music. Speaking passionately about the process, Paramida revealed that the remix came together naturally in one inspired session. Rather than endlessly overworking the track, she trusted her instincts and focused on preserving the original spirit of the music. That intuitive approach, she explained, remains central to her creative identity.
Throughout the conversation, Paramida spoke candidly about the realities of today’s electronic music industry. While social media metrics and oversaturation continue shaping the modern scene, she believes talent and authenticity still matter most. Paramida acknowledged the challenges artists face with the decline of clubs and independent venues, but encouraged emerging producers to remain focused on their craft instead of chasing trends or validation online.
The interview took a playful turn during a rapid-fire “Take Five” segment, where Paramida’s personality shined through effortlessly. Asked about her pre-show preferences, she admitted espresso martinis were usually the drink of choice before a set. When asked what spirit animal best represented her energy, she chose a black cat — mysterious, independent, and a little mischievous.
Beyond touring internationally with upcoming performances in places like Mexico City and Miami, Paramida remains deeply invested in her label, Love on the Rocks. More than just an imprint, the label serves as a creative home for underground sounds and emerging artists pushing boundaries within dance music culture. During her sets, Paramida often relies on unreleased tracks from her roster, continuously introducing audiences to fresh talent and innovative sounds.
By the end of the conversation, it became clear why Paramida continues to stand out within electronic music’s underground movement. Her commitment to authenticity, artistic integrity, and community-driven music culture has helped her cultivate a sound and identity entirely her own. Listen to the full interview below.
