Figure Added To Paradiso Festival
by USC Events on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 3:00pm

On Monday, we announced Chris Lake for Paradiso Festival. Today we are adding bass music heavyweight Figure!  In a matter of years, Figure has risen to center stage of the dubstep world with his unique style and bass-heavy productions. Hailing from a small town in Indiana, he is credited with putting the Midwest on the map for bass music. He is arguably the most influential advocate of drumstep, a genre that combines drum and bass breakdowns with sub-frequency basslines. By crossing genres and incorporating unique sounds influenced by movies and video games, Figure has created a distinctive sound that fires up dance floors all over the country. His tracks regularly sit on the Beatport top 10 and his live performance skills are credited as some of the best in the industry. This is your opportunity to experience the sounds of one of dance music’s most promising rising stars at Paradiso Festival!

The next artist announcement will happen Friday at 3pm pacific. This is one that is guaranteed to sharpen the edges of Paradiso Festival and turn the Gorge into a rage valley- we hope you’re ready to be destroyed with lazers!

 

KNIFE PARTY!   The rumor is true – it was already basically confirmed via the 4/30 announcement, where USC Events stated:  “On Friday we’ll announce someone that will definitely chop up the party” !!!!  Now, with a direct mention to Knife Party’s infamous track “Destroy Them With Lazers”, along with a reference to Knife Patry’s upcoming EP Rage Valley, I think it’s safe to say that we will finally get a bloody Knife Party in Washington!  Stay tuned for the official confirmation this Friday at 3pm.
