With their trademark “heaven trap,” great vocals, and an affinity for the dirty, Slander will cater to all you lovely headbangers out there!
Baauer
Everyone and their mother has heard of the world famous “Harlem Shake” internet dance craze. Harry Bauer Rodrigues, or as we know him Bauuer, was the mastermind behind that hit song, and many more like it. Now, Bauuer is set to tear up the Gorge, for his first ever appearance at Paradiso.
Quix
If you are a part of the massive bass movement in the PNW, chances are you’ve heard this name before. QUIX is an artist known for his filthy bass and trap stylings. This New Zealand artist has been making noise all over the world, with his unique sound, and collaborations with with the likes of Party Thieves and Instant Party!
Keys N Krates
Hailing from Toronto, CA, Keys N Krates went from being a live hip-hop band reliant on rough acapellas and memory-jogging remixes to something much more complex, a tight-knit trio of producers/performers.
This trio takes rocking a party as seriously as a week spent in the studio. Their unique musical stylings have always been able to pull the strings of packed festival crowds without resorting to tired EDM tropes. Hip-hop, house and UK bass music all play a role in a Keys N Krates record, but so do the dark-tinged dynamics of indie acts like Caribou and M83.
If you have seen Keys N Krates live before you know just how dynamic and eccentric this trio is, and if you haven’t yet seen them live you will discover their on-stage pragmatism for yourself.
GTA
GTA is back again! We had the blessing of having them at both Paradiso 2014 and 2015, and now the stage is set for yet another exciting performance at the Gorge.
