AUSTIN, TEXAS — Let’s take a moment to appreciate the all-around awesomeness behind this entire Euphoria Music Festival 2016 lineup. From the artwork to the full list of artists, we are thoroughly impressed. We couldn’t be more excited to attend for the first time this year at Carson Creek Ranch in Austin, Texas. This lineup is stacked!
It’s a given that you should see each of the headliners like Bassnectar, Above & Beyond, Dillon Francis, and STS9; however, we are only going to focus on more of the up-and-coming artists that we want to ensure don’t get overlooked when you’re planning schedules and trying to figure out who to see.
1. Prismo
Prismo is a Texas native from Houston that has been killing the bass music scene with some his unique twist on insane trap remix and bootlegs. From Fetty Wap to throwback Mike Jones and Slim Thug, Prismo will certainly give you the bass fix you need.

2. Space Jesus
Space Jesus is a Brooklyn, NY native that has really risen to fame in lowend scene in recent years. According to social media, “Space Jesus explores the electronic auditory universe in search of lower frequencies, future feels, and fire beats.” His catchy bass hooks will surely keep you mesmerized for the entirety of his set.

3. G Jones
G Jones has been a personal favorite for the past two years when it comes to bass music. Ever since I discovered his Lowend Theory Mix in the depths of SoundCloud, I have been absolutely hooked. G Jones will be returning this year, so he is no stranger to Euphoria Music Festival–but I’m sure he has an epic set up his sleeve that will make you glad you didn’t pass it up.

4. Big Wild
I discovered Big Wild when he opened up for an Odesza show I attended in Boulder, CO in February 2015. I was completely captivated by his unique twist to encompass multiple blends of genres, working in some mashup samples as well as his own unique sounds and live aspects. His well-known whistling in his remix of Hey Mami – Sylvan Esso (Big Wild Remix) has been very well-received and you can expect to see him actually whistle out the part during his live set.

5. Tycho
Okay, so maybe I lied…Tycho could be considered a headliner, but still. They are so far out in their unique style of music and live performance, that you’d be crazy to miss their set, given the opportunity. Ironically, the best way to describe their performance would be euphoric. Tycho will take you on a hypnotizing journey with their music and self-curated and designed graphics–truly showcasing what beautiful music sounds like. This would be our hands-down DO NOT MISS set of the weekend, whether you’re more about electronic music, hip-hop or jam bands–they will put on one of the best sets of the entire weekend.
