Bass Machine

An electronic music blog that represents my taste in EDM and other similar genres. I try to provide tracks that offer a free download as often as possible. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-27485709-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

Paradiso 2015 @ The Gorge Amphitheater

Man, what an amazing adventure! Can you tell just how psyched up my roommates and I were? We pushed up our departure time at the last minute to leave at 10pm and get a good camping spot instead of leaving at like 8am the next morning.

In case anyone is actually interested in what the camping grounds looked like...

After so much waiting, the big day finally arrived!

I think this was Dyro. I’m not sure.

Update: It was not the best slice of pizza ever. :(

Green Velvet @ Paradiso 2015

I had never heard of this guy, but his beats were smooth and he actually sang! That was a first.

Jack Beats @ Paradiso 2015

Jack Beats was my surprise favorite set of the day! I’m sure part of that had to do with the fact that the stage wasn’t crowded like the others and there was so much room to dance. And everyone else seemed to be there to dance too, instead of just standing in place and jumping!

Party Favor @ Paradiso 2015

Mad props to the performers who traveled around after their performance on the main stage in order to continue to entertain the crowd!

Showtek @ Paradiso 2015

I definitely wasn’t expecting Showtek to be the first DJ I heard to drop this track.

CAN YOU TELL HOW EXCITED I WAS TO TAKE A PICTURE “WITH” MY FAVORITE EDM ARTIST?

Knife Party @ Paradiso 2015

I had been waiting all day long for this set! And unfortunately it was a bit underwhelming. The bass felt a bit muddy (perhaps I should have stood further back) and there wasn’t enough room to dance to my heart’s content. (I guess I really should have stood further back. But I wanted a picture up close!)

Martin Garrix @ Paradiso 2015

Pretty bad quality, but I can’t do much when it’s pitch black out and there’s lights flashing all over the place.
