PARHAM & PLAZA
Parham & Plaza teamed up around 5 years ago and have since been establishing their brand as two of the top producers in the modern electronic dance music scene by releasing tracks for some of the worlds hottest record labels. With their unique "hybrid sound" they have both been busy touring the world while several of their productions have hit the top 5 in various acknowledged charts worldwide.
Parham who's formost been known as the DJ and producer from Sweden and one of the figureheads responsible for pushing the modern progressive sound via many nights in Sweden and across the Nordic region, the most well known being the Fokused events went into collobration with the already busy producer, Dominic Plaza back in 2002 when the two met in Stockholm after running into each other at various club nights and afterpartys. Back then Dominic who was already working with various labels doing remix jobs invited Parham into his studio one Sunday morning. While playing around and puting their twisted heads together they started their first true collaboration and made tracks "Substance" and "Catch The Sun" which later was released on highly respected label Vapour and since then the duos many releases have attracted the attention of the world DJ elite.
THE PRODUCERS
Having taken their friendship and venture into co-producing further during the years the two soon found themselves drawn to the nice and sunny whether of Barcelona in Spain. With their move there they set up a new studio together and went into hard labour moving their sound forward. Releases such as Everyday Elevation and Once was one step down the line, followed up with remixes on artists such as Kasey Taylor, Nikola Gala, Son Kite, James Benitez and many more. Their remix of Chris Lake & The Rhythm Code's "Wrong Turn" was released in 2005 on Babylon records and was called “modern, exciting progressive house” by DJ Download. The track was also ranked as one of the top tracks one month in DJ Mag and got 5 of 5. Later remixes have been the stunning vocal remix of Miika Kuisma & Mr A's - "Smoky Room" on Fokused which was recently featured on a G-Pal compilation, Romain Rai's "4 AM" on Tribal Vision, and the soon to be released remix of Brisker & Magitman's "Complex".
“Underwater Rivers” was another original track that got top attention. Getting remixed by Dean Coleman, released on Armada sub label Gangsta Audio and used by Behrouz for Renaissance Frontiers compilation. A release that might have set the footstep for their remix of old time house classic “Last Rhythm – Last Rhythm” on the legendary Renaissance label. Together with a Martjin van Telden remix on the flip the release topped many charts, became an Ibiza anthem during the summer of 2006 and was a "sureplayer" and another 5/5 in DJ Mag. The latest original release “Gun” on Fokused Recordings with the huge Mashtronic remix has been supported by all top DJs and defines the unique sound of the duo.
THE DJ'S
Their tours have taken them to the best clubs around the globe, playing for legendary clubs such as Renaissance (worldwide), La Terrazza (Barcelona), Roxy (Prague), Piekarnia (Warsaw), Maxime (Madrid), D-Edge (Sao Paolo), Pacha (Buenos Aires), Exit (Kaunas), Cube326 (Tokyo), Ibiza (Jakarta) and of course for Fokused (worldwide). This together with big gatherings as the Koneisto Festival (Finland), Sundance Music Festival (Estonia), Roskilde (Denmark), Ceara Music Festival (Brazil), Sommerparade (Norway) SEEME (Bulgaria), plus them headlining the Scandinavian Music Convention have set mark for their smooth and colourful Dj sets. Make sure not to miss them.

PARHAM AND PLAZA PRESENTS
THE QUANTUM MECHANICS - PEOPLE & REBELS (Incl. Ludovic Vendi remix) + THIN SLICING


Orde Meikle / Slam: (Peoples mix) strong - thanx!

John Selway: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Quality modern progessive with nice spacey retro touches in the People's mix, although Ludovic remix most playable for me most of the time.

Nick Warren: (Thin Slicing) Peoples mix is the one for me and thin slicing is cool too.

Tiger Stripes: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Really like Vendis mix.

Ramon Tapia: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Nice ludovic vendi mix !! will play.

Sarah Main pacha / galaxy: (Peoples mix) Nice!

Dj Yellow: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Really cool release for my man Parham... full support dj yellow.

Paolo Mojo: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Ludovic Vendi mix sounds most interesting to me in parts, albeit a bit drawn out. Interesting.

Simon Progsounds: (Peoples mix) An interesting side project from Parham and Plaza dishes up a track that seems very reminiscent of the underground hit 'In My Heart' by Ethan from a few years back. Taking a little while to kick into gear, the People Mix is a great electronic house outing with the Rebels version veering more towards to the leanings of techno. Ludovic Vendi's version highlights why his skills are in demand at the moment, and Thin Slicing broodingly closes out the EP in a rather dark and foreboding tone, while staying in tune with the futuristic themes explored throughout this EP.

Elke Kleijn: (Rebels mix) Great EP especially feeling the rebels mix. Has that really dark feel to it.

Timmy Stewart: (Ludovic Vendi remix) The wicked Ludovic Vendi mix and Thin Slicing are the standouts for me. Nice deep electronics.

Kasey Taylor: (Rebels mix) Love it mate.

Chris Fortier: (Ludovic Vendi remix) - Ludovic pulls it together.

Dubfire: (People mix) Downloaded.

Marcus James: (Rebels mix) Love the rebels mix and thin slicing.

Onionz: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Lovin the Ludovic remix, slammin!

Jim Rivers: (Thin Slicing) Like Thin Slicing most here.

Valentino Kanzyani: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Ludovic's version is the one for me here.. Big up for Heisenberg and Bhor...

Hernan Cattaneo: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Good Stuff all 3 mixes of People work for me.

Mark Fanciulli: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Ludovic Vendi mix is the strongest of the three for me.

Adi Dumitra: (Ludovic Vendi remix) Absolutely blinder of a package. The Ludovic Vendi remix is stealing the show here, this guy cant do any wrong. Thin Slicing is also perfect for those early sets while People & Rebels are saving those peak time hours. I would say best Unfokused up to date, so will fully support. Thanks.
