PARA Is an experiment . A collaboration between Claus Fuss and Princelton Delacroix .
Frustrated by the cultural elitism and outdated definitions of techno , fe**sh and general alternative culture… By the homogenisation, oversaturation and monotony that has commercialised the cultures we revere … we got talking …
NOT ANOTHER FU***NG BLUE MONDAY.
Not another flat pack off brand fu***ng techno party … why restrict ourselves to either or ...
And we felt others felt the same .
So we asked a few friends family and idols .. and the realest came through ... we feel we have an extended family strong enough to support and represent our ideas .
Driven by a passion / necessity to push sound and vision little bit further … by revering the old gods and masters whilst scrying to see where further might be …
We aim to provide an open inclusive space where our artists are able to fully express themselves and challenge people preconceptions, to encourage new talent to develop their skills and show their teeth
Media saturation and the corporations may have stolen and debased our culture but it has given us new tools and fresh canvases.
We all fu***ng hate these overly cynical blurbs kerouakian pretence and words on a screen .
I’d rather just have said we play dark heavy hard s**t , bangers , soul musick , the weirdest , the rawest , music to cry to , rudimentary experiments in mind control ... but then some one is gonna be like erm
So just to clarify ... We try to keep the dance floor on fire with use of (though not limited to ) techno ,industrial , electronic , synth wave, post punk , dark wave , minimal wave , cold wave no wave and genre defying beats ...
PARA a prefix appearing in loanwords from Greek, most often attached to verbs and verbal derivatives, with the meanings “at or to one side of, beside, side by side” (parabola; paragraph; parallel; paralysis),
“beyond, past, by” (paradox; paragogue); by extension from these senses, this prefix came to designate objects or activities auxiliary to or derivative of that denoted by the base word (parody; paronomasia), and hence abnormal or defective (paranoia), a sense now common in modern scientific coinages (parageusia; paralexia).
As an English prefix, para-1 may have any of these senses; it is also productive in the naming of occupational roles considered ancillary or subsidiary to roles requiring more training, or of a higher status, on such models as paramedical and paraprofessional: paralegal; paralibrarian; parapolice.
