[highlight]Skrillex[/highlight]
Skrillex performing at The Gorge was every Northwest dance music fan’s not-so-secret wish for Paradiso 2015. Also known as Sonny Moore, Skrillex has performed in the Northwest several times in the past, but hasn’t been back in a while. He performed in Vancouver in December of 2013, while his last show in the Northwest U.S. came at Bumbershoot 2012 in Seattle. Since then he’s done nothing but add to his ludicrous list of accomplishments, accolades, and quality releases. The six-time Grammy Award winner has been focusing on collaboration project Jack Ü (with compadre Diplo) throughout 2015, but we’re hoping for a classic dubstep filth-fest from Skrillex at Paradiso 2015. His set will be packed, so if you want a good spot, sacrifice your time and show up far in advance. You won’t regret it.

[highlight]Doctor P[/highlight]
One of the co-founders of Circus Records, one of the most influential bass music labels in dance music today, will be gracing Paradiso yet again. In the past Flux Pavilion has performed at The Gorge, and now, it’s Doctor P’s turn. He’ll be going B2B with fellow Circus Records label-mate Funtcase. Both have been vital to the growth of dubstep and bass music in general throughout the last decade, and getting them both on the stage at the same time at The Gorge is a bass-head’s dream come true. Doctor P does it all, bringing out the best with his productions, live-sets, and artist development. We’ll be Going Gorillas at Paradiso 2015, and we hope you will be too.
[highlight]Eptic[/highlight]
Blowing up into the bass music scene in 2012, Belgian Eptic is one of the bright young stars in dubstep. Working on the famed Never Say Die record label, Eptic is working with the best, and putting that quality time to good use. He’s performing for the third time in the Northwest at Paradiso 2015, and considering he’s going B2B with Must Die!, we’re betting it’ll be the best of the bunch. His best is still ahead of him, which is an exciting thought for those of us who’ve been listening to Eptic for years. We won’t be missing his set at ‘Diso for anything, and you’ll be regretting your decision if you do.

[highlight]FuntCase[/highlight]
FuntCase, also known as James Hazell, is a Bournemouth-born bass-heavy artist who’s live-sets are must-see at every festival he performs at. The fact that he’s going B2B with Doctor P, at The Gorge, is more proof that this is indeed the greatest lineup in Paradiso’s four-year history. Spanning drum & bass, dubstep, and more since beginning his career in 2007, FuntCase is as diverse and talented as they come in dance music. A great follow on Twitter as well, FuntCase can consider us followers anytime. Join us for what could very well be the set of the festival when FuntCase goes B2B with Doctor P.

[highlight]MUST DIE![/highlight]
MUST DIE! is a Berlin-based artist who’s had releases on all of the major bass music labels and gained friends and fans across genres. Also known as Lee Austin Bates, MUST DIE! has released songs on Play Me, Dim Mak, Never Say Die, Rottun Recordings, Firepower, and OWSLA throughout his career. He’s also managed to perform in the Northwest over the years, including two stops in Seattle last year. Now that he’s going B2B with Eptic this summer, he’ll have another performance to add to the list. If you haven’t been able to catch one of his sets yet, do yourself a huge favor, and make time for MUST DIE! at Paradiso 2015.
