We would like to welcome King Brandon & Queen Orly to take their places on the throne, as monarchs in the forest. Their videos were both superb and silly, and the rest of the forest is excited to work with them to bring their ideas for forest improvement and fun to life!

Next, we are creating a new prize for two lost kittehs- Duchess Minh & Duke Tim!

Lastly, our other four fantastic finalist films will each be receiving 2 tickets per video.

n partnership with Mixcloud, Electric Forest presents a mix contest for a chance to perform in the forest this year. We pride ourselves on our cutting edge music and our fantastically receptive community. This year, we would like to invite a new artist onto our stage!

One talented winner will receive a 30 min set at the event's Forest Stage, 2 VIP Event Passes (valued at $1000), tent lodging onsite, and $500 towards travel.

To enter, visit the contest page on Mixcloud here: http://www.mixcloud.com/competitions/electric-forest-mix-match-2012/

We are polishing our mental stages to envision how events will unfold on the physical plane, hoping this list inspires you to do the same!

Beats Antique returns again, with their capering horse head and entrancing dancing friends!
Papadosio will make you awake inside, a five piece rock band you'll be glad you tried.
GRiZ might bring both synths and a saxophone, so Big Gigantic won't feel alone…
And Nadis Warriors won't cut any corners- they are singing bowl and tabla courtiers.
Paul Basic launches his own brand of electro-hip hop missiles, fans of Pretty Lights surely will whistle.
R/D is at the edge of the West Coast Bass Scene, he could catch a fish, but beats are preferred if you know what we mean.
Finally - The Coop is an electronica quartet with some jamband spots- get ready, because they add special sauce!

We have an additional change to announce - Battles seems to have a parallel campaign, and now from the Forest they must abstain.

Lastly, we would like to issue a formal apology to The Divas of Big Freedia - we intend to use no shorthand. It's Big Freedia And The Divas performing, we proclaim throughout Electric Forest land.
