[highlight]Dig-Dug & Sidestep[/highlight]
Two guys who do so much more than perform, DJs Dig-Dug and Sidestep (also known as Doug McIntyre and Paul Song, respectively) are cornerstones in the Northwest dance music scene. The two play integral roles in what goes on behind the scenes regarding events and shows in our lovely area of the world. McIntyre is one of the heads of one of our favorite local companies USC Events, while Song owns Red Cube, a Portland-based music event production company. The duo know what it takes to put on a good show, and have the combined decades of experience in the industry and on the decks to do just that.

[highlight]Laidback Luke[/highlight]
Arguably the most technically gifted DJs in the world right now, Laidback Luke should be at the top of anyone who appreciates live mixing and skill at its finest. The Filipino-Dutch producer/DJ has been releasing originals and remixes since the mid-90s and has successfully stayed at the top of his game year after year. Laidback Luke, 37, is married to DJ Gina Turner, who heads Turn It Records. His skills and past speak for themselves, and so will the thousands of Ls in the air during his set this summer at Paradiso 2014.
[highlight]Tommy Trash[/highlight]
Thomas Olsen, also known as Tommy Trash, will be bringing his authentic style and brand of energetic house to The Gorge this summer as a returning artist to Paradiso from last year. The Aussie has shown off his production skills for years, registering huge hits with The End and Reload. Now it’s his skills on stage that will be showcased at the ultimate Northwest summer dance music festival. He’s been nominated for a Grammy, worked with the biggest labels and producers in music, and played at the most prestigious festivals in the world. He came to the Northwest with Wolfgang Gartner for the ‘Hounds of Hell‘ tour last year and will be one of the top house artists at Paradiso 2014.
[highlight]Oliver[/highlight]
Duo Oliver ‘Oligee’ Goldstein and Vaughn ‘U-Tern’ Oliver, better known as Oliver, have teamed up to create some of the funkiest and grimey house sounds in dance music today. The classic, yet undeniably new and unique, take on the current house music environment is refreshing and irresistible to groove to. The experience the duo have in the Northwest after touring with Zedd and Alex Metric last year will struggle to compare to what the duo will have at their disposal at Paradiso 2014. The beautiful scenery, the awesome weather, and thousands of fans will give the Northwest to show Oliver exactly what we’re all about, as they do the same for us.
