Thanks to the 25,000 people who have passed through the two days of Paraíso 2019. It has been a pleasure to have each of you.

A total of four stages hosted the 49 performances of artists from 17 countries, with artistic installations, from performance to ephemeral architecture, resting areas, a gaming space and a careful gastronomic offer. In addition, the second edition has brought a new space: Nido Stage, dedicated to that local talent that keeps Madrid’s scene alive 365 days a year.

We would also like to thank all those who have contributed to the second edition of Paraíso through the sponsorship of Absolut, Schweppes, Alhambra, Reebok, Tuenti, Lavazza and Tanqueray, the collaboration of Jägermeister, Mac, Linda, Pepsi, Areucas and Canna, and the institutional collaboration of the British Council, Institut Français, Matcoam and the Beep Electronic Art Collection.

We are looking forward to see you again in Paraíso 2020.

Two days for dancing in a green open field, 49 music shows and 4 stages. You can now check timetables and program at Stages Paraíso, Club, Manifestó by Absolut, and newcomer Nido Stage.

We’re pleased to present two of the works that will nourish Paraíso 2019’s artistic ecosystem. Plastic Beach and Dentro are two of the projects selected from the visual arts and living art calls, opened last February.

Plastic Beach | Installation

Plastic Beach is an installation focused on the use of PVC—the most commercially widespread polymer—to reflect on the spirit of consumption in today’s society through a vault of 180 kg of plastic, the average amount a family wastes in one year, made with beach mats. It will serve as a recreation and relaxation area, making it visible that polymers can be used more intelligently.

These mats will remain intact at all times so as to recover them and give them a new life after the festival. The material is 100% phthalate-free PVC, which facilitates its recyclability and durability. Also, the flanges will be removed without breaking, resulting in a completely reusable pavilion.

Plastic Beach has been created by Alberto Alonso, Sergio González, Enrique Mansilla and Maxi Martín of the architectural production group Terrario Arquitectura, formed by students and architects recently graduated from the Escuela Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid (UPM).

Dentro | Performance

Made in collaboration with La Juan Gallery, Dentro is the project selected in the category of living art, a performance that takes place under an inflatable sculpture to propose new experiences connecting space, the body and coexistence.

The performers rethink the space, their relationship with it and the way to inhabit it, so that the subject becomes an object and their body a territory of meanings, with the aim of transcending the limits of their own ego to build a collective ego.

Its analogy with the natural space explores different ways of connecting to the environment. Dentro portrays urban and intimate images that lead us to passivity and indifference as receivers. Agglomeration, interaction, mutation, inclusion and dialogue are some of the concepts underlying this work accompanied by illuminated atmospheres.

Dentro has been created by Melisa Zulberti, contemporary dancer, visual artist and creator of performance installations in continuous exploration of interconnections among various languages.

Paraíso 2019 full line-up is already available. Among last confirmed names arte the 23 local artists that grouped in 13 sets, will open the Nido Stage.

In 2019 this new space will be dedicated to the vibrant panorama of the city of Madrid with DJs and producers who are revolutionizing the local scene and who, from their residences, clubs and collectives, keep the capital pumping 365 days a year: a_mal_gama Soundsystem, Bcosof Live Remixes (Pedro D. & Suso Saiz), Danilo & D.Faux, Dos Doggos, Eder Croket & Fer Xplosion, El Cuerpo del Disco, Estatua de La Libertad, F-on & DJF, Guacamayo Tropical DJs, Jackwasfaster, JAI & Damaru, Juanito Jones and S-brid & Gaspar Antuña.

We have three new reasons for which you will not be able to stop dancing.

First of them is the new icon of the underground scene, Peggy Gou, who will conquer the dance floor of Paraíso 2019 on Saturday June 15. The South Korean DJ and producer who resides in Berlin is characterized by such a personal sound that it’s already been baptized with her own name, Gou, with which she’s conquered the top of the lists for best DJ of 2018. In 2019 Peggy Gou continues garnering good reviews for her first single, “Starry Night,” a track that inaugurates her own label, Gudu, where her next EP Moment will be released.

Another artist unleashing passions is young British artist IAMDDB, the artistic name to which Diana De Brito responds, who will first set foot on a stage in Madrid on Friday June 14. Her mix of hip-hop, rnb and soul with her peculiar raspy voice shines on her recently released album Swervvvvv.5. The most urban artist in the line-up arrives in Paraíso to astonish us with this new work, after her recently successful collaboration with Diplo, “Mira Mira”.

Israeli DJ and producer Chen Moscovici, also scheduled for Friday 14, closes this trio of confirmations. Moscoman combines the sounds of his homeland with forays into new wave, house, techno or trance, and is a key figure in the blooming club culture in Tel Aviv. Despite having moved his residence to Berlin, his sound remains faithful to Middle Eastern rhythms, and he continues to reveal young talents to the world on his own label, Disco Halal.
In the coming weeks, we will incorporate 13 artists into its programme, 12 of them performing on the new Nido Stage, dedicated entirely to the effervescent local scene in Madrid.

In the DNA of Paraíso is the vocation to become a catalyst of the local scene by promoting projects and creators from different disciplines that put local talent into the spotlight.

New Nido Stage

In this second edition, Paraíso 2019 will have a new space: Nido Stage, that for its first year will be dedicated to the emerging panorama of Madrid.

Local DJs and producers who have much to contribute to the current electronic scene will gather at Nido Stage, those artists that keep the local scene alive 365 days a year from their residences, clubs, collectives, etc.

The stage will have a programme of six performances each day that will be announced in the coming weeks.

A new wave of names comes to Paraíso line up. In addition, line up by days is now available, as well as tickets for Friday and Saturday for € 44 or € 64 for premium tickets.

Remember that tickets price will change next March 7th.

Line up by day

French electronic music reinforces its presence in Paraíso with the addition of Charlotte Gainsbourg and the duo Polo & Pan, artists whose work includes the French touch of the school created by Cerrone, who recently confirmed his participation in the festival.

Three new live shows are coming from the UK: the Scottish band CHVRCHES with the dose of adrenaline that characterizes their concerts, the Londoners Superorganism, with proposals moving between pop and electronica, and the duo Mount Kimbie, whom we owe the term “post-dubstep”. They will land in Paraíso after releasing their first mix for the revered DJ-Kicks series (!K7 Records, 2018)

Swiss-based Irishman Mano Le Tough heads up the list of the DJ sets in these new confirmations. His eclectic style includes incursions into house, techno, disco and new wave, making him one of the chosen ones to renew the European scene.

From the other side of the Atlantic, we will be visited by the Canadian Jacques Greene and the American Channel Tres, two young exponents of the new house made in North America. And as far as national talent is concerned, Barcelona’s John Talabot and North State also join the line-up,

Besides that, the festival informs that the members of the Brazilian duo Selvagem, which was already part of the line-up, have decided to take different paths. That’s why Millos Kaiser, one of this duo’s two faces and a specialist in recovering forgotten gems of Brazilian music, will perform at the festival in the end.

Conceived from the start as a festival of electronic music and other arts where to explore and discover the works of visionary creators in different disciplines, we present two initiatives that aim to support and make the work of emerging artists visible through two open calls. The selected projects will be exhibited at the festival on June 14 and 15.

Paraíso aims to be a meeting point where to share new ideas and reflections in a tolerant and inclusive environment, and to promote various projects that, from different techniques and artistic disciplines, explore the relationships of people with each other and with nature, and how these are affected by consumption and technology.

Visual arts in Paraíso 2019

Directed towards artists and emerging collectives this call invites to create an installation project, large-scale sculpture or ephemeral intervention in the green space of the venue.

The selected project will have a maximum of 7,000 Euros for its production and exhibition at the festival. The deadline for submission of projects is March 18.

Performance in collaboration with La Juan Gallery

In collaboration with La Juan Gallery, the first gallery specialized in live art in Madrid, this call aims to develop a performance and promote those projects that get closer to the public, and play and investigate in an innovative way with the most interpersonal discipline of art.

In this case, the selected project will be allocated a maximum of 3,000 Euros for its development and performance at the festival. The deadline for submission is March 30.
