[highlight]Dillon Francis[/highlight]
Making his second consecutive FreakNight appearance this year is Moombahton maestro Dillon Francis. The Los Angeles-native is one of the most popular acts in dance music today and has his first studio album, entitled Money Sucks, Friends Rule, is due out later this year. Two tracks from the highly anticipated album have been released, Get Low (a collab with DJ Snake) and When We Were Young, a collab with Sultan & Ned Shepard featuring The Chain Gang of 1974. His sets at summer shows have featured plenty of IDs and bootlegs, so here’s hoping he has something special in store (Oh, hello zer DJ Hanzel) this Halloween at FreakNight.

[highlight]ETC!ETC![/highlight]
Los Angeles-based producer/DJ Jose Guerrero, aka ETC!ETC!, is everything you’d expect from a guy working with Diplo’s Mad Decent label. He’s diverse, exciting, and endlessly evolving and manipulating his sound. ETC!ETC! has a busy schedule ahead of FreakNight 2014, performing at Beyond Wonderland and TomorrowWorld before returning to the PNW for the first time since his January performance at Foundation Nightclub earlier this year. His sound is ‘Massiv’ and his sets are a blast, so make sure you make the smart choice and check out ETC!ETC! at FreakNight this Fall.
[highlight]CAKED UP[/highlight]
Las Vegas-natives Oscar Wylde & Vegas Banger make up trap sensation Caked Up. They’re currently taking part in the FreakNight Traveling Circus (alongside Borgore, Botnek, and more) which is stopping in seven cities across the Northwest. Their energy and effort is completely focused on putting on a great show, and they do just that. There will surely be plenty of twerking going on during Caked Up’s set at FreakNight 2014, so embrace your inner ratchet and have a blast.

[highlight]ill-esha[/highlight]
Canadian producer/DJ ill-esha is one of the most talented and diverse artists performing at FreakNight 2014. Her discography spans dubstep, drum & bass, trap, and of course glitch-hop. But her diversity doesn’t end there, as the talents she brings to her live show are extraordinary. She’s not only a fantastic DJ with a great ability to shift styles within a mix with ease, but she sings while mixing as well. The Vancouver-native grew up in the Northwest dance music scene and we can’t wait for what ill-esha has in store for her return to the Emerald City.
[highlight]Snails[/highlight]
One of the most exciting artists in dance music right now, and certainly a break-out artist of 2014, Snails is a set that will be packed no matter the time slot. The Montreal-based producer DJ who is also known as Frédérik Durand, brings a refreshing blend of trap, dubstep, and ‘snail music’ to the FreakNight 2014 lineup and is another example of USC Events getting great up and coming talent at their festivals.
[highlight]Yellow Claw[/highlight]
Yellow Claw is another group of Dutchmen performing at FreakNight 2014, but these one’s are different than the rest, in the best ways. Trio Leonardo Roelandschap, Jim Taihuttu, and Nils Rondhuis have been at the fore of the recent growth in trap and do so in their own way. Signing with Diplo’s Mad Decent label in 2013, Yellow Claw have released four EPs, three of which with original tunes in less than 18 months. Their work has expanded and improved over those 18 months and, after a summer full of festivals and touring, we’re sure they’ll have plenty of tricks and treats for the FreakNight crowd.
