About us
Our vision is to enchant us all together at our — mostly nightly — events. To create unparalleled experiences. A fresh taste, back to the future. Something out of the ordinary, here in our rough diamond, the in many ways conservative Göteborg, Sweden 🇸🇪
The haunted Gotham City-altered state of our nightlife rarely offers the vibe we look for. Yes, it’s great for many, don’t get us wrong. Our prime source of inspiration is often found in the Rave Capital of Germany or the festivals around it.
Imagine us as a travelling caravan passing by town once in a blue moon, coming back home fully-loaded with inspiration and new ideas. One time you’ll maybe notice that we have been joined by the freshest bearded lady. That we found in her synthesizer park-basement, running it’s own power plant from the backyard. Or that still Traktor v2.5-rocking 66 years young-hipzter with the massive mustasche giving that extra oumph to his beats. Characters like these can really be found in the B-town where our spirit animal, Herr Bär, the latest active cirkus bear megastar in our physical plane got famous. From the sound clouds he now watches from above through the quantum fields over us, here in the imaginary life-line of our culture, still emanating, from the HQ in the Holziverse out to our satellite DIY-project. Ja, ja, ja, does anyone even ever read the fine print anymore, scroll on! ; )
Prime time
Hear the Cirkus
A very important aspect in all that Paralello does is the musical vibe. A beautifully decorated pulse with quirks we find cool is our beating heart. It’s the main building block of all our experiences and experiments.
