Later this month, the inaugural WTFestival takes place in the picturesque White River Canyon, 100 miles outside of Portland, Oregon. Among the many amenities the property will feature are an outdoor hookah lounge, poolside music arena, ample lounge spaces, as well as interactive art installations. The lineup is backed by a healthy contingent of West Coast names including Claude Von Stroke, NastyNasty, Ana Sia, and EPROM. Flown in from abroad Scuba, Star Slinger, Bonobo and Sinjin Hawke round out the lineup and filling in the gaps are a bunch of the PACNW's finest locals.

SCUBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Scuba has crafted the perfect soundtrack to your summer with his third album Personality released on his own Hotflush imprint earlier this year.  If you think we are talking dubstep here I wouldn't blame you, but you will however find yourself awesomely mistaken.  This rave-tinged album unfolds with a varietal of tracks rolled out and held together with an energy one personally wishes they could be nostalgic for.  NE1BUTU is an oldskool rave anthem that's pure bliss and the accompanying video champions this success with a fresh throwback vibe.




ANA SIA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The Fritenite squadron will be rolling deep to WTF?! where you can look forward to seeing Ana Sia, Danny Corn, Nasty Nasty, and Eprom.  Ana Sia has proven herself as a truly versatile selector that comes correct on a number of different flexes.  You can rest assured your perceptions of space+time will be shaped nicely in her hands.
