There is plenty to be excited about heading into the Kaleidoscope Music Festival this weekend. Even aside from the main performers such as Bassnectar and Empire of the Sun, there will be hidden gems throughout the weekend to feast eyes and ears on.

One of those hidden gems is EDMTunes DJ Topher Jones. Jones is an up and coming artist from Chicago whose music includes a healthy range of remixes and originals. Some of his music has been played by artists such as Skrillex and Afrojack. To hear one of Jone’s more praised releases, try listening to “Brohammer.” His August is booked with performances in different cities nearly every night, and on August 24, he is stopping by Kaleidoscope to douse Eugene Meadows with his dirty beats.

Of course it’s not just musicians storming the stages of Kaleidoscope this weekend. A wide range of performing groups and spectacles will be there to satisfy the desires of the audience as well. A dubstep dancer by the name of Marquese Scott is one of those performers. Watching the way that Scott’s body contorts and moves might make you question the human anatomy itself. His arms may be made of spaghetti, and his feet may be made of air. Regardless, somebody should probably give him an MRI to see what the deal is.

Another Kaleidoscope performance to get excited about is The Jezebelles. Difficult to describe in words, The Jezebelles are a group of women who belly-dance, hoop, walk on stilts, play with fire and more, while wearing wacky outfits. They’ve performed at such popular venues as Dayglow and Spring Love. If you like girls with paint on their bodies, long, colorful boots, and/or the occasional gas mask, you should give The Jezebelles a whirl.

Speaking of colors, another can’t miss attraction at Kaleidoscope will be The Wanderlust Circus. Filled with colorful lights, bike tricks, stilt dancing and hand balancers, The Wanderlust Circus is a spectacle to behold. According to kaleidoscopemusicfestival.com, The Wanderlust Circus will be holding a special Daytime Electro Swing MegaBounce Party. Indeed that is an ambiguous name, but if there’s one thing that makes a megabounce party glorious, it’s daytime electro swing. That’s just a fact.

Now crazy contortionists and colorful acrobats aside, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t mention the fact that rap artist Lil B is a part of the Sunday line-up for Kaleidoscope. Yes he raps about wonton soup, his seemingly infinite supply of swag, and some sort of entity called “Based God,” but isn’t that exactly why you want to see him?

Lil B is just another fun and unique experience that Kaleidoscope will offer. There’s going to be some talented musicians, wacky shows and sights you may never see again. Nothing less should be expected from a music festival in Eugene.
