PALMLANDS RECORDS
Our Mission & Culture
Palmlands Records from Dortmund, Germany is the electronic music label for those who live dance music in all its forms — for DJs searching for strong, reliable tracks, for music lovers who want modern club sound, for people who enjoy losing themselves in a well-crafted atmosphere, and for producers who connect with our direction and ethos.
Our releases are made for the dancefloor — tracks that DJs can trust, that listeners connect with and that bring atmosphere to life in your sets and playlists.
We create events that unite people and stand for a sub-culture that is real, creative and driven by genuine passion.
Palmlands is a place where creativity can grow and where music receives the attention it deserves.
Our label is built on a simple idea: strong music, a welcoming community and nights we experience together.
Palmlands moves between clubs, open-airs and underground culture. People who connect with our sound share a similar mindset — they want energy, clarity and music that feels alive.
Palmlands is a feeling — the moment the lights drop, the bass rolls in and everything around you starts to move like palm trees in a summer breeze. It’s the spark between sound and crowd, the rush when a groove locks in and the whole room breathes to the same pulse.
Our music carries that pulse: deep, warm, driving.
Our events turn it into a world you can step into — textured, immersive, full of detail and emotion. A place where time blurs, colours shift and the night feels bigger than the sum of its parts.
We believe in experiences that stay with you, in rhythms that catch you off guard, in moments where strangers feel connected.
At Palmlands, every release, every visual and every night is crafted to resonate: to lift you, to move you, to remind you why electronic music matters.
It’s energy you can feel. A world you can step into. A vibe that stays long after the last beat fades.
The Sound of Palmlands Records
The Palmlands sound sits between Tech House, Bass House and Techno — punchy kicks, crispy drums, strong low-end, catchy vocal hooks and a clear sense of direction.
Our tracks are made for DJs who want reliability and energy, and for people who come to events for rhythm, connection and atmosphere.
Whyy DJs choose Palmlands
Today many DJs end up sounding the same — the same playlists, the same tracks, the same predictable transitions.
Palmlands offers something different.
Our records give DJs a distinct underground signature sound that cuts through the noise and makes their sets stand out.
These are tracks with character and identity — music that gets noticed, creates moments and helps DJs shape their own defining sound.
If you want your set to rise above the usual, this is where you find the difference. [ Discography ]
The Founder of Palmlands
Purple Palms
Purple Palms is the co-founder and creative force behind the label’s musical and visual identity.
As a DJ and producer, he focuses on clean bass design, club-ready arrangements and a clear artistic direction — the core of the Palmlands aesthetic.
He founded Palmlands to create a home for his music: a place where ideas can grow freely, without the limitations of existing industry structures.
It wasn’t about building a traditional label, but about establishing a foundation where creativity comes first and artistic identity isn’t shaped by trends or expectations.
For him, Palmlands is the environment he always wished existed — a space to explore and experiment, and one that now offers the same freedom to others who connect with the vision. [ purplepalms.de ]
Roxy Nox
Roxy Nox is a Dortmund-based Tech House DJ and producer, and the label boss of Palmlands Records. She didn’t just give the label its name — she built the foundation of the vision that drives Palmlands and continues to push it forward. Starting as a resident DJ at Palmlands events in 2022, she quickly grew into a defining force behind the label’s identity. Today, she performs at leading venues like Bootshaus and major festivals such as Parookaville, bringing the Palmlands energy to stages that shape modern club culture. Her belief that more women deserve to stand on stages is an essential part of our identity, and her presence, style and understanding of club culture define the energy and authenticity of the Palmlands vibe.

Growing Together. Hand in Hand.
At Palmlands, growth is something we experience together — through music, events and the people who bring it all to life.
Our focus isn’t on one element alone; it’s the interplay of sound, atmosphere, visual identity and human energy.
Supporting artists is not a business model for us — it’s a natural part of how Palmlands works.
Whether newcomers or Top 100 acts: a label should be a place where ideas naturally evolve and where artists who resonate with our vibe can grow alongside us — and create meaningful work together.
We work with positive, respectful people who embody the Palmlands spirit, and artists who perform with us carry that mindset into their sets and onto the stage.
What matters is the vibe, the direction and the connection to what we represent as a label and as a platform for DJs and producers.
Events — The Post-Apocalyptic Palmlands Paradise

• each event introduces new highlights and themed elements.
• the atmosphere is welcoming, energetic and open.

Sustainability
Sustainability is an essential part of our identity.
We design our events with intention, using reusable, durable and eco-friendly materials wherever possible to keep our footprint low.
Responsible event culture means respecting the environment we celebrate in — from the structures we build to the choices we make behind the scenes.
It’s a mindset rooted in awareness and forward thinking.
Inclusivity & Openness
Palmlands stands for accessibility and openness.
Everyone is welcome — regardless of age, identity, background or experience.
We ensure that people with physical disabilities can access and enjoy our events.
Our spaces are designed to be as inviting and barrier-free as possible — environments where everyone can feel free to enjoy the moment. We expect that same openness from our guests.
Respect and awareness ensure that everyone can have a safe, enjoyable and memorable time.
Independent by Choice
Palmlands is an independent electronic music label — because independence keeps our vision clear.
It gives us the freedom to shape our sound, our visuals and our events exactly how we imagine them.
Our world is something we build ourselves — from the music to the visuals to the atmosphere around it.
We don’t gatekeep what we’ve learned along the way.
Our experience flows naturally back into the community and to the producers who feel connected to our direction — not as a promise, but as a shared mindset.
Independence lets us grow while staying true to who we are.

From the Idea to the Growing Movement
Palmlands started as nothing more than an idea.
When the label took shape in April 2022, we had no network, no connections and no roadmap for how a label “should” work. What we did have was drive — and a passion to create something honest and rooted in the scene.
Everything you see today grew from that spirit: the music, the events, the visuals and the atmosphere that define Palmlands.
This journey shaped us, and we share what we’ve learned with those who resonate with our sound and vision.
Growth happens together — that’s the Palmlands way.
Stay on the Beach - A Culture Built on Connection and Support
Stay on the Beach became our credo in the summer of 2024 — a phrase that captures the true essence of Palmlands.
It represents mutual support between the community, our event guests, the DJs who carry our sound and the producers who create it.
It stands for openness, connection and the belief that together we can achieve something greater than any one of us could alone.
It’s more than a slogan — it's the essence of the Palmlands vibe.
