Contributing WriterVisions of Paraiso is the new label from Panøram, a fresh alias with serious creative intent from an accomplished producer. He has worked on various projects before, but recently took a step back to refocus on production, hone his vision, and refine his sound into something that collides a wide range of influences. After growing up around parental Pink Floyd, The Clash, and the Sex Pistols records, he fell for US house, speed garage, and trance from across Europe. For his own productions, he has a future-facing perspective and brings warm atmospheric darkness to this first new EP. We sat down with Panøram to discuss his new release, influences, and production.
1. Hi Panoram, thank you for taking the time to sit down with us today. How have you been?
Hi, it’s a pleasure. I’ve been good, just very busy these last few weeks preparing everything for the EP release and the label. Everything is new for me, but I’m really motivated by all the projects. At the same time, I’ve been working in the studio on VOP 002 and other projects as well.
2. You’ve recently started your own label, ‘Visions of Paraiso’. What made you want to start your own imprint? How are you finding it?
The idea behind creating a label is, on one hand, to have a platform to release all the music I’ve been making over the past years, and on the other hand, to build a community of artists who share a similar sensitivity toward music, art, and life — with the goal to offer something special to people and to contribute, through music, in different ways.
3. Your ‘Visions EP’ is your first release on your new label. Could you tell us about the tracks and the vision behind the EP?
I think the EP reflects a special moment in my life, blending my indie and ’80s influences, but with my own modern touch. A1, Visions, is a journey that starts with an acoustic bass and a 909 kick, combined with 707 and 909 drum patterns and some dark guitar chords.
A2 is produced entirely with the Roland 707. The idea was to create something more emotional, with a break-driven, riding groove.”
B1 It’s my own alternative version. Here, I wanted a different kind of mix, with a strong 808 kick driving the track while keeping the bass less dominant in the low frequencies. This whole search for a unique sound kept me spending long night sessions in my little studio. At one point, I even thought, ‘Am I going crazy?’ haha — but I finally got it. Sometimes I’m a perfectionist, and I spend a lot of time trying to reach the exact sound I’m looking for.
4. You’ve recently been taking time out to refocus on production and hone your skills, a common practice for artists. What impact has this had on you and your music? Do you think it’s important for artists to take breaks from production for their development?
Yes, I think it’s important to sometimes take a break and step back from work, to focus more deeply without all the noise of social media and the world. The idea was to grow as an artist in the studio. These days, I know there are other factors—social media, image, contacts—that are also important, but for me, music always comes first. That’s why I think production is so important; I need to feel fulfilled in what I release. I worked many hours, but at the same time, I have to say, I love making music and the whole process. For me, it worked really well: I found the sound I was looking for and clarified the direction I want to take. I 100% recommend it
5. Growing up with your parents, you say you were exposed to a lot of Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, and The Clash. Has the music you grew up around influenced your production today? Do you think it’s important to consume many genres to produce great releases?
Yes, definitely, it influenced me. I was lucky to grow up in a musical environment — my parents loved music and were always playing great classics throughout my childhood. Living in the Canary Islands also exposed me to electronic influences from England and Germany when I was young, and my mum used to travel to Ibiza, bringing me great compilations from Café del Mar, Space, El Divino, and DC10. I think that’s probably why I have an eclectic taste today. I think listening to different genres can help you produce good music, because it opens your mind and gives you more options to create. I also think it’s important to understand the roots of the music — where the sounds come from. But in the end, the most important thing is what you feel, which is often more powerful than theory.
6. You’ve set a great precedent for your label with this release. What kind of music can we expect to hear from Visions of Paraiso in the future?
My idea with Visions Of Paraiso is to evolve. VOP 002 will have my sound, but it will be different. The main goal is to release timeless music that you can listen to and play at different moments, while still showing a natural evolution over time and always focusing more on quality than quantity.
7. When you’re not producing music and running your label, what do you like to fill your time with?
When I’m not in the studio, I love spending time with family and friends, and working on other creative projects like interiors or fashion. I also enjoy football — it helps me disconnect from music.
8. It’s been great chatting with you today. What can we expect from you going into 2026?
2026 will be an important year for me to grow in the scene as an artist and to keep developing as a person as well. With the label, my idea is to create a second series of releases with good remixes and release vinyl editions. I know the market is a bit saturated right now, but I believe that by working with love and doing things well, you can always find your space in the scene. Thank you for the interview; it was a great pleasure.
