[highlight]Matthew Koma[/highlight]

One of the more interesting artists to be added to the Paradiso lineup is Matthew Koma. With his most notable work coming as a vocalist, working with dance music heavy-hitters like Hardwell, Zedd, Alesso, Tiësto, and more. He’s no slouch as a producer either, with an impressive list of collaborations with artists like Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso. What he has in store for his Northwest debut at The Gorge, as he’s also shown off his acoustic skills time and time again. We’ll be in the audience to find out, and we know we’ll be happy with whatever Koma has in mind.

[highlight]Trippy Turtle[/highlight]

Bringing the Jersey Club to Paradiso, Trippy Turtle (who is/isn’t Cashmere Cat? Or wait, Lido?), is one of the more mysterious artists performing at The Gorge this summer. Not a lot is known about the artist, but the music is doing plenty of talking. Trippy Turtle’s ‘Diplo & Friends’ mix gained TT a ton of attention, and we’re hoping for a similar blend of downtempo and trap for his performance at Paradiso this summer. There’s plenty to explore over on his soundcloud, and it’ll only make you want to know more about the artist known as Trippy Turtle.

[highlight]Savant[/highlight]

Aleksander Vinter, better known as Savant, has released tunes under several aliases, but none have caught on quite like Savant. Dubbing his sound ‘complextro’, Savant describes his creative process as “all about putting everything into one pot of musical ether. I don’t have a rigid formula; my music manages to be comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. I like breaking rules – that’s where new stuff emerges.” He certainly manages to combine genres and styles that other artists would shy away from, and it leads to tons of content and an impressive catalog of tunes at his disposal for live shows. One of the most talented acts performing at Paradiso 2015, Savant is one of the artists that every attendee should make time to see.

[highlight]Stylust Beats[/highlight]

Fusing dubstep, hip-hop, and more has given Stylust Beats, also known as Geoff Reich his foothold in the dance music scene, and he’s not going anywhere. His recent remix with Bassnectar of the bass-music figurehead’s tune Loco Ono was included in Lorin’s Noise vs. Beauty Remixes album, and the opportunities are only getting bigger and better for Reich. The Vancouver, BC-native performed at Shambhala last year and his set is one that’s been on repeat for us ever since. We’ll be sure to catch his set at Paradiso 2015, and you should too.
