Aaand it’s a wrap. The Cookout, one of the biggest music events out there, came to pass — and we had a blast! From slaying artists with next-level gigs to big decision-makers of the biz, it was all we’d imagined and more!

Kick-ass tunes & crazy vibes

Over the years, The Cookout has turned into a thrilling travelling showcase of the latest hot talents from Paradigm Talent Agency’s electronic roster. Which, in other words, means an insane mix of electrifying sets, wild party vibes and a whole bunch of artists, managers, producers, agents and other music pros from around the world. The line-up, which was filled with standout talents, by the way, involved our very own co-founder and techno royalty UMEK playing an exclusive set as Zeta Reticula and other pretty big names you’ve been hearing a lot about, like Chris Lake, Mija, CamelPhat and Justin Jay, to list a few. How was it, you ask? Let’s just say there were some crazy back-to-backs that sent shivers down our spines. A real treat!

Today’s who’s who in music

And let’s not forget about other music pros and industry giants that were defo on the lookout for the next big thing! We hung out and talked business with Paradigm’s Sam Alpert, VP of Marketing, Emma Hoser, booking agent of massive techno artists including Adam Beyer, Mark Knight, Eric Prydz and Matador, and Harris Lewis, booking agent of huge names like Alan Walker, GTA, Hardwell, Dubbs and Tigerlily. Also there, checking things out, were Lawrence Lui, CEO of Bampire and marketing manager of Above & Beyond, and Paul Morris, booking agent of the legendary Tiësto, The Prodigy, Carl Cox, David Guetta, Martin Solveig, Alan Walker and Benny Benassi.

Viberate and Paradigm working on future plans

Yep, all the big ones. And we have to say they were pretty impressed with our product. New partnerships on the horizon? Well, they sure are on the table. Or as our co-founder and COO Vasja said: “Plans have been set in motion, now let’s see how they unfold. There sure is some good stuff coming our way”. Stay tuned to see what happens!
