The Unofficial Paradiso Genre-By-Genre Artist Guide For 2017

Electro House

Black Tiger Sex Machine
Black Tiger Sex Machine (or BTSM for short), is a hard electro trio that is known for their hard hitting sound and intense visuals. Patrick Barry, Marc-Andre Chagnon, and Julien Maranda create the masked trio that also are the founders of Kannibalen Records, home to some of the filthiest electro and hardstyle artists on the planet. This will be BTSMs’ second time here in the Northwest, and their first time at Paradiso. If last year’s show at Foundation Nightclub is any sort of hint as to what we are in for, you do not want to miss this trio at the Gorge.

Dyro
Jordy van Egmond is a Dutch DJ and EDM producer straight out of the Netherlands. In 2010, he had several releases through various labels, such as Revealed Recordings, Musical Freedom, and Def Jam. Dyro is also no stranger to the festival circuit, having played Electric Zoo in 2013 and 2014, and Future Music Festival in 2014.

In addition, he’s played the iconic Ministry of Sound in London, and at the legendary Space Ibiza. Dyro launched his own record label in 2014 called WOLV Records. His musical style is always evolving, tapping into Drumstep, Trap, Drum N Bass, and Electro among many other genres.

Rabbit in the Moon (Live)
Rabbit in the Moon is a American dance music duo formed in Tampa, Florida. Their musical style can be categorized as Psychedelic Trance, House, and Breakbeat. The group started way back in 1993 under the name Anarch-E.

They’ve done remixes for bands such as Garbage, Tori Amos, Orbital, Smashing Pumpkins, White Zombie, and Delirium. Their unique blend of psychedelic sounds and house appeals to audiences all across the United States.

House

Mija
After bursting onto the scene in a now-legendary b2b set with Skrillex at Bonnaroo, Mija continued her meteoric rise into superstardom in the ensuing years. Today, she’s known for her genre-busting sound, her killer skills on the decks, and a global following unmatched by many.

Bijou
If you are a fan of house music, then chances are you’ve heard of this producer before. Bijou is one of the biggest names in house music in the Arizona music scene, and he has no plans on stopping.

The thing that makes this house DJ so widely loved is his ability to dip his hand in just about any sub-genre of house music that you can find. From his massive g-house hit Hello with Dr. Fresch, to his own deep house single Guru, he has the ability to tap into every inner house fiend. Do not miss out on this incredible set at Paradiso this year!

Billy Kenny
Bringing the perfect balance between techno and house music, this British producer and DJ is known for his enticing beats. Paradiso 2017 will be Bill Kenny’s first appearance at the summer festival.

Kenny is known for some of his massive bass house hits, including his hit single Work, released back in 2014. With the PNW being known as the bass capital, we couldn’t think of a more perfect artist to come tantalize the crowd and bring together the house and bass music fans. We are excited to give a warm welcome to Kenny upon his arrival to the Northwest.

Anna Lunoe
Anna Lunoe is a true artist, as a DJ, producer, and singer. This well known Australian DJ is nothing short of amazing. Lunoe began her music career early on in life singing and playing guitar, before she broke into the music industry hosting her own dance show on an independent radio station based out of Sydney.

This OWSLA-signed artist is hard to pin down to just one sub-genre, keeping audiences surprised every time she’s on the decks. Additionally, congratulations are also in order, as Lunoe just recently announced that she is expecting! Let’s give her one hell of a celebration at the Gorge, shall we?

Chris Lake
After getting his start in 2006 with tracks such as Changes and Carry Me Away, he’s been a regular of several radio shows, including Pete Tong’s Radio 1.

Chris Lake also operates two record labels known, Rising Music and Rising Trax. With roughly 180k followers on Soundcloud, Lake has become a staple of the house music movement, and a great addition to this diverse lineup.

KSHMR
Niles Hollowell-Dhar is a California based US producer and DJ, known for making massive main stage bangers with his electro house/progressive style. Before making his way into the scene, KSHMR was actually a part of the hip-hop trio known as The Cataracts.

KHSMR is now ranked in the top 20 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs, and has most definitely been living up to the expectations. He’s known for his unique talent at bringing together sounds from cultures around the world, making his live performances a thrill to watch.

Wax Motif
Danny Chien AKA Wax Motif is a well known Australian producer and DJ that’s always been a favorite in the Northwest. Much like Bijou, Wax Motif is one of the founding members of the G-house movement, working alongside hip-hop superstars such as Young Thug, Warren G, and Ty Dolla Sign.
