MUSIC LINEUP
DORAMEY
Doramey has shared his original music and unique dj sets in headlining slots all over the world under other project names. His tastes span a vast spectrum of styles while leaning into a bass-heavy, psychedelic path that holds many twists and turns. His current project is a refinement of his life-study of music thus far and focused on mashing together intricate tapestries of unexpected things.
NAUGHTY PRINCESS
Naughty Princess has been heating up dance floors since 2016, weaving beautiful eastern melodies over hard-hitting beats, and delivers the freshest bass music with her unique style and energetic performance. Naughty Princess is notorious for her ability to blend orchestral sounds and musical world elements from the east with the fattest of beats and bass drops! Her sound is cohesive and distinctive, despite traversing a range of bass music genres including dubstep, trap, West Coast bass, halftime and hip-hop. Evocative female vocals soar over rumbling 808s, violins build and crescendo then drop into throbbing beats, delicate sitar leads blend seamlessly into searing electronic riffs! She creates that magical dance floor experience where people can really let loose, express themselves, and dance their hearts out!
Naughty Princess is also passionate about empowering women in a very male-dominated music industry. Girls, in particular, are very excited to see a female DJ who can bring beautiful and feminine sounds into a scene that has been saturated with overly aggressive music, and at the same time have the chops to throw down a set so hard and dirty that everyone is sweating and fist-bumping by the end of the night!
Naughty Princess has played at top events and festivals including Envision, Oregon Eclipse, Lightning in a Bottle, Northern Nights, Enchanted Forest Gathering, The Fillmore Denver, and many Ecstatic Dances. Based in the LA area, Naughty Princess brings the sounds that light you up and inspire you to get down!

harlequin grim
“L’envol” means “take flight” in French. It is Harlequin’s balance and juggling act, featuring a temperamental character, classic ball and club juggling, club partner passing, and a daring sequence with a 6 foot giraffe unicycle. It explores themes of reluctance, fear, and self-doubt. Its soundtrack by Caravan Palace, which is what the act is named after, evokes an atmosphere of a traveling caravan from the late 19th century, featuring upbeat rhythm and swaying violins.
Harlequin grew up as a misfit child, writing bizarre characters and stories often featuring macabre themes. Growing up, he’d flirted with circus arts, but fearing there was no future with it, stopped practicing. After working at a mortuary for a year during the COVID pandemic, he became inspired by death. Leaving that work behind, he picked up the talents that he’d left in his youth with renewed vigor, becoming a full-time performance artist and content creator. He has since performed in shows local to Portland, private and public events, as both an aerialist and a ground artist, showcasing his love for circus, the strange and otherworldly, always with a dark flair.
