REVIEW: Control @ Avalon 8/13 - Valerna, Harvard Bass, Wolfgang Gartner, and Skrillex

WOW. What an absolutely massive night it was on Friday at the Avalon in Hollywood. Upon showing up somewhere around 9:45 in our 65 person party bus, the line was already half way down the block. After fighting through the crowd we finally made it in just in time to see Valerna close and Harvard Bass open. From that point on the night was complete mayhem. The club was so damn hot from the utter chaos that half the place was shirtless and drenched in sweat by midnight.  The floor was absolutely packed, balconies on every side were overflowing with people and even the stage itself was wall to wall with people. And then it happened... Wolfgang Gartner took that place to the moon and back. The energy and amount of people getting absolutely filthy was like nothing I had ever seen before at the Avalon.  I could go on and on about how epic it was but I think this video below (be sure to watch it in 720p HD) will do more justice. Try to make it to the end without cracking a huge smile or getting the chills...

From New York to Japan, Starkillers has had a massive impact on the world of electronic music. The Las Vegas native is best known as the man behind the MASSIVE hits Discoteka & Scream. Discoteka was the very first track released under his Starkillers alias and lived at the top of the Billboard Dance and Beatport sales charts, named an "Essential Selection" on Pete Tong’s BBC1 radio show, nominated for best underground track at the IDMAs, and supported by almost every major DJ out there. But the track’s success simply encouraged the hard working producer to get his ass back into the studio and create a world of music his friends and fans have come to recognize him for.Get ready for him to lay down an unforgettable set Friday night.

Bingo Players (Paul Bäumer & Maarten Hoogstraten) have been left gasping for air after a seriously hectic year with bookings in the Netherlands and abroad. Outgrowing local bingo halls to play with the big ballers of the game has been the result of their hard work and devotion. The Bingo Players appear to have been made for each other, the proof of which came in November 2009, when the DJ/producer duo topped the Beatport overall chart for a second time with their remake of the dance floor classic, “Devotion”, which stayed on no. 1 for two weeks and over a month in the top 10!
