And so the countdown begins.. 

Girl Talk

Saturday night I revisited the Hollywood Palladium to see Girl Talk (real name Gregg Michael Gillis) in concert for my second time. Any show that involves a mix of old school hip hop, electro, pop AND colorful balloons being released into the audience is going to be a guaranteed good time. And of course it was. 

The opener acts, God help whoever had to witness them, were absolutely atrocious. But I guess thats what you get when you need opening DJs the same weekend as Ultra. He played mostly songs off his latest album All Day and although a little short (he ended the show around 12:30), it was a great night filled with high energy and tracks that you can't help but dance your ass off to. 

Afrojack is BACK!

On Tuesday night (yes - Wednesday morning was awful) I went to see Afrojack at The Music Box Hollywood. After being a bit disappointed by his new year's set at TAO, I had low expectations. Perhaps that is why I was so blown away this time around! Nervo (a badass female duo made up of Australian twins) prepped the crowd with some crazy electro tracks but when Afrojack came up to bat the crowd seemed to double in size.

Opening with sick remixes of Bangduck then Bounce Little Kitty, he went on to play EVERYTHING an Afrojack fan could dream, including: Polka Dots, Take Over Control, Spencer and Hill's Cool, Duck Sauce's Barbra Streisand, Martin Solveig and Dragonette's Hello, Angello's Knas, Guetta and Rhianna's Who's That Chick, and much more!! He even took breaks to chug vodka right out of the Grey Goose bottle - now that's my boy. Totally satisfied with his stage presence and stellar set, Afrojack is right back to being one of my top favorite DJs.

Morgan Page

I finally got to see Morgan Page and boy was it awesome! After hours of listening to terrible tech house at Avalon I was so glad when Mr. Page came on stage and opened up with a song I've never heard before Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers - Blow Up (Hook N Sling & Goodwill Remix). He went on to play all the crowd favorite's including Unleash The F*cking Dada, I Fight For You, Take Over Control, Red Meat White Noise, and my personal MP favorite - his remix of Florence and the Machine's Cosmic Love. He went on at 1 am and by 3:15 I was ready to be an old lady and pass out so unfortunately I missed Donald Glaude's after hours set (which I heard went until 6am!) but I did hear that Donald rocked the house for those who were able to stay up all night.

I am now looking forward to seeing Afrojack next Tuesday at The Music Box and attending Beyond Wonderland that Saturday where I will be hanging out with Christopher Lawrence. I will also be seeing Kaskade for my first time ever and the rest of the BW lineup is pretty amazing:
