A NIGHT FROM THE NEED TO DANCE WITH EACH OTHER
In a landscape dominated by harder electronic sounds, Parotia aims to make way for a new sound in Utrecht's nightlife. For this final edition at EKKO, IRMA and Ajuma will take over the decks.

Utrecht-based Ajuma , also the founder of Parotia, is a DJ who takes you on a musical journey around the world. In recent years, she's played festivals like Lowlands and Best Kept Secret, and she's also a familiar face at EKKO. She played Parotia's first track at EKKO three years ago. It's only fitting that she also plays the very last track.

Warm sounds and funky percussion are at the heart of Utrecht DJ IRMA 's sound . She's been part of the Parotia team since day one and will be sure to heat up the floor one last time at EKKO with her flair for rhythm and grooves.

About Parotia: Parotia, a reference to the mating dance of the eponymous New Guinean bird-of-paradise, aims to get people dancing together again with softer, warmer sounds. A step away from individualism and a leap towards each other. A colorful blend featuring house, disco, Latin, Afro, and boogie, among many others.
