Envision Festival is hosting their 7th annual Event, and in honor of it being their 7th year, we have chosen 7 Must See Artists! Its not easy to choose from such a beautiful, stacked, and talented lineup, but from our experiences, and their musical talent and releases, we have conjured together a list of amazing, skillful, and original artists. Check out the amazing line up below and our list of 7 must see artists!
Starting with our close friend and incredibly talented violinist, Govinda.
Govinda
Having played the violin since the age of 8, Govinda has mastered his violin skills while combining it with ‘sexy vampire bass music.’ He offers downtempo electronic music to bass heavy psy-trance music, all layered with wonderful violin harmonies. Not only is his music delightful and will leave you in a trance, but his partner in crime and fiancee, Jordan Proper, has performed with Govinda for a couple of years now, getting her moves and stage presence down to a tee. She will be joining him for this set in the jungle and with her various skills in flow arts and their extremely bright love for one and the other, she will add an extra visual element to the already exhilarating set.
Opiuo 
Shut the F*CK Up and Dance. Opiuo lives by that and with that, the crowd dances… hard! He has been able to produce distinct snare and drum sounds through his electronic drum pad which has glorified his name, Opiuo, into being one of the leading electronic acts in the world. Opiuo has traveled across the world playing his exotic music and with his distinct drum samples and funky music, this is going to be a set you have to see at Envision!
Goldfish
A duo coming from South Africa with some of the classiest and talented production in the electronic scene. Goldfish is a ground breaking live act that plays some of the funkiest and deepest of house music. They play on a Piano, Cello, Flute, and Saxophone, all while having some of the best electronic music with the instruments. With these tropical and deep house beats that Goldfish play in their sets, this is going to be a set you have to get your grove on too at Envision!
Rising Appalachia
Two multi-instrumental sisters lead the band, Rising Appalachia, and have found their love in spreading their positive message and stories through world and folk-grass music. They promote the well being of yourself and the earth while also telling their experiences, and spreading their message. Rising Appalachia has played across the world and for them to be at Envision, a place of such good Eco-friendly initiatives, this will be a set that can’t be missed!
CloZee 
This amazing and extremely humble French-producer has been absolutely slaying the scene. Creating a various amount of music ranging from world, glitch, melodic, and bass heavy electronic music, she always keeps her sets fresh and unique because of her large selection of music. She has been on the rise for the past couple of years, and to see where she is now is absolutely wonderful. She promotes such a positive vibe and when you see her live, you will be eager to see her again.
Ott.
This goofy yet extremely brilliant and talented UK man has created a massive movement from his music. Having creating music since the early 2000’s, Ott. has become world renowned for his exotic and distinct music production. He has produced melodic world music to spacey, and bizzare music. Having collaborated with Simon Posford several times, Ott. has an amazing following of fans world wide that get down to his one of a kind music.

Papadosio
Last but not least, one of the most innovative and creative jam bands from the scene today, Papadosio. This band is full of compassionate members who put full devotion and dedication into their music and live performances. Having released 4 albums and an EP, this band has discovered their style of music and created a strong fan base. Creating a melody of music that grazes between rock, jazz, and electronic music, Papadosio keeps it fresh throughout their sets and is why this set is a must see!
