Romney
Deep, hypnotic techno inside a videomapped art installation born from a graduation project.
Industrial roots, art-school origins.
The Romney Loods began life in 2019 as David Sciarone's graduation project for the Kunstacademie. Paradigm gave the piece a home, and in return earned permission to use it for its events. Through collaborations with artists Liza Verboon and John Oosting it grew into the fully videomapped space — DJ-booth included — that now anchors the deepest, most hypnotic techno on the terrain.
A robust, industrial shell wrapped around something intimate. The Romney is where slow-building, transcendental sets meet contrasting, meditative visuals — a long trip rather than a sprint.
From graduation project to festival landmark
What started as one student's afstudeerproject became a years-long collaboration. After early experiments — decking the space out with lights for a New Year's chill-out — the team landed on the idea of videomapping the entire structure, front of the DJ-booth and all. The result is one of Paradigm's most distinctive stage designs.
Deep techno, made for the trance
The Romney is built for depth over flash. Hypnotic, slow-building techno pairs with quiet, transcendental visuals that unfold like a single long image rather than a rapid VJ cut — the kind of room you sink into for hours.
