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...
First of all I'd like to announce this is our 50th post! For those of you that have been following us build the blog and enjoy the music we've been able to share with you, I would personally like to say thanks!

Saturday much to my enjoyment went off without a hitch, we caught up with Bart B More on the main stage first. He spun some of his Dirty Electro mash with a twist of Dirty Dutch with the presence of friends on stage, such as Chuckie. If you watched the great warm up set to the day you would have wanted to stay and see the next set courtesy of Dada Life. These two guys really know how to throw down some tracks. If you are looking for a fun up tempo banging beat then look no further than the guys from Sweden.
Next we caught a little of Afrojack on the main stage for the second wonderful day in a row. The main stage was a little more main stream the second day. Still Afrojack and still awesome we just liked the first day a little better, but beggars can't be choosers, and damnit who are we to complain about the wonder and amazement that was this past weekend. We skipped our way over to the Circuit Grounds to give some Progressive House a go and got to see the one and only Roger Sanchez.
We then headed back over to the Main Stage to metaphorically shake hands with Laidback Luke. He spun a solid ass set that carried the crowd into the night. We ended up leaving a little early due to Harvard Bass rocking the Cosmic Meadows for some Bass enjoyment. The set was more than we could ask for just throwing it all out on the tables. LA Riots threw down a sick set immediately after Harvard Bass that kept the pace of the evening going.
Who was next? Who you ask.... Well no other than Wolfgang Gartner who lit up the stage like a fuckin Christmas tree. If you had the opportunity to see one act and leave on Saturday I would say you should have seen this. You could not explain it in words, only in Thizz faces, and I can guarantee you not many people there were from Norcal. Check out the live video, as well as wolfgangs new track "Illmerica".
After catching Mr. Gartner we headed over to the Circuit Grounds to catch some Fedde Le Grande. He was spinning a pretty sick set from House to Electro House to Progressive House. The way that the stage was setup was like an ancient gauntlet of music that had flames bursting from every column. You literally felt like you were in another country on some deserted island where music was God. How would you want to round out your night after that. Well you were faced with a rather large decision. (Turn to the next paragraph to find out)
Boys Noize or MSTRKRFT? Well we chose both. We started with Boys Noize and if you have seen Boys Noize ever or a hundred times you know that each time is going to be awesome, and each time is going to be different. Nothing bad could have been said about this music unless you enjoy classical.
Last but not least we rounded out the night with MSTRKRFT. By this time we were absolutely not tired and believe we need a three day festival next year, haha. Cheers and here's to next year, may it be bigger and even better.
