[highlight]3lau[/highlight]
24-year-old American artist Justin Blau, better known as 3lau, is a Northwest regular when it comes to the major festival circuit, and we aren’t complaining. The progressive house mash-up maestro performed at Paradiso 2013, Lucky 2014, and now returns for Paradiso 2015. The New York-native’s monthly ‘3lau Haus’ podcasts are musts for anyone who’s had the pleasure of raging to one of his sets live, and is a regular inclusion in our monthly rotation. A set that will get even the grumpiest, most downtrodden of ravers moving, 3lau’s set will only grow in numbers, so make sure you get there early.

[highlight]Alesso[/highlight]
Making up for his highly-anticipated performance from the cancelled second night of FreakNight 2014, Swedish superstar Alesso is doing it in the best way imaginable. Fresh off of the release of his debut album, Forever, and riding a career arc that has thus far only pointed north, Alesso is the now and future of EDM. He’s worked with the biggest names in the industry, and his brand of progressive house is perfect for the shifting trend toward dance music on mainstream radio. Joining a superstar cast of headliners at Paradiso 2015, and fitting right in, shows how far the 23-year-old has come in his short career. We’re thrilled to see where it goes from here, and what Alesso has in store for The Gorge.
[highlight]Arty[/highlight]
Bursting onto the dance music scene in 2009, at the age of 19, Russian progressive artist Arty has blossomed into one of dance music’s top acts. A regular at major festivals around the world all summer long, Arty has found his niche and is making the most of his opportunities. He made stops in both Portland and Seattle last year, and debuted in the Northwest at Lucky 2013. He’s released tunes with all of the major labels, like Anjunabeats, Armada, and more, while his productions have become more polished and his sound more defined. An artist that will surprise many, and live up to the high expectations of many more, Arty’s a set fans of progressive house will make sure to see.
[highlight]BYNON[/highlight]
Richard Beynon is a British-Canadian artist, also known as BYNON, who currently holds a residency at the SLS Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Releasing tunes on Spinnin’, Revealed, Ultra Music, Armada, Sony Music, and more of the major players in progressive and electro house, BYNON is building his resume’ with the best. Beginning his career in 2009, after being classically trained musician throughout his childhood, BYNON caught the attention of Paul Oakenfold in 2011 and has continued to capitalize on the chances he’s been given. His blend of progressive house is made for Northwest summer vibes, and we’ll be enjoying his sound in the perfect setting for his Northwest debut at The Gorge.
