The aftermath has piled up as the events of the past weekend at the Los Angeles Colesium cast a shadow over the World. If you weren't there for some odd reason, I truly hope it was a very odd reason indeed. We wanted to share some of the highlights just to re-live the experience once again or show some of you non-believers what fun is all about.
Friday was captured by a few artists and was nothing short of spectacular. We rolled up to the Los Angeles Colesium that was heavily guarded, but under complete control. The ticket lines were not long, the beer lines were which is odd, and there was only one outburst by the douchebag fence jumpers to which Lil Jon handled in about 2 minutes with some strong yelling instead of the hippie P.L.U.R. jargon. We came across Autoerotique throwing down a signature Electro set in the beginning of the day at the Cosmic Meadows. He powered down a great set just in time for us to head on over to see some of Afrojack handling the best set I have seen in a while with a special guest shout out from Lil Jon.

Next we headed on over to the Circuit Grounds which hosted a 7 story stage that Chuckie was spinning some ridiculous tunes from the songs of the summer Babylon and Hope. He spun a two hour set worthy of a headline position which I'm sure will be in the near future.

Dirty South left his normal Progressive House style set to amaze the audiences with some Filthy Electro House in the begining, and finishing with his typical tunes towards the end. Definitely different and much appreciated. All that did not know the name of Dirty South are now googling and wondering if he is from America. Well he is from the Dirty South of Austrailia.
Traktors:
After watching Dirty South and not wanting to leave them we decided to part ways with Kaskade and check out Jack Beats which in my experience if you want to see Bass Heavy; look no further. God these guys are pros at targeting the audience and putting a bullet straight through their heart.
We hung around the Cosmic Meadows after Jack showed us how the Jack Beats Rock, and checked out a very special DJ AM tribute between Travis Barker and A-Trak. This was packed with a special guest performance again by Lil Jon who seemed to be everywhere that weekend and was just an excellent set to appreciate.

Then came the long awaited Household Names of House... Angello, Axwell, Ingrosso. This was the ONE and only SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA.
If you didn't have the patience to stay in the Circuit Grounds you truly missed out on a once in a lifetime appearance. From rolling in One More Time into One, to murdering the Colesium. These three individuals held it down and should have been the headlining act. Swedish House rocked the set.
Last but not least:

We were somewhat disappointed with the Deadmau5 set, and I don't know what the plan was. The new Deadmau5 stage was magnificent, but to use it against the 7 story backdrop with no integration was a bold move, and I thought somewhat lack luster. We still have lots of love for Deadmau5, this was just not expected; especially after the way the music was being put down all day.
With some remaining time we scooted on over to the see Armand Van Helden just commit a sacrifice on the crowd while he was there. The last half hour with Van Helden was an immediate thumbs up and great decision.
