Trolley Snatcha & Calvertron @ Avalon Hollywood - 07/05/2013

Trolley Snatcha and Calvertron graced the Avalon Hollywood stage on Friday night to deliver their signature styles of bass music.

The night started after a warm welcome from Gent & Jawns, two long-time friends from Richmond, VA and Washington, DC, respectively. They served up their special style of moombah and bass music that has gotten them respect from the likes of Nadastrom and Diplo.

But the real hero of the night was Trolley Snatcha. A well-known UK native, Trolley Snatcha belongs to the Dub Police label. Not one to overload the crowd too early, he started off with some moombahton and progressive house. It didn't take long however before he unleashed his repertoire of massive bangers that made the rafters shake. First breaking out the dubstep hit Fabrication by Emalkay, rinsing Jah No Partial by Major Lazer feat. Flux Pavilion. Also thrown out was the newly released FuntCase remix of Genetix' Squid Attack [Beatport]. What I believe to be the highlight of the night was the mash-up of the basslines of Red Heat by Skism and Trolley's own Make My Whole World. Trolley straight-up murdered his set and received an (already) standing ovation as he left the stage to make way for Calvertron.

I had seen Calvertron once before, supporting The M Machine on their first live show in L.A., and once again he did not disappoint. He managed to take a tired crowd at 1:30am and get us back on our feet. He started with his very own 50K off his new 50,000 Watts EP released May 27th of this year. He even took a leap and played Swing Break by The McMash Clan off Circus Records to great enthusiasm from the crowd. The set quickly turned into high energy hard electro and got the crowd jumping and moving around, transitioning from tracks by Excision to Dodge & Fuski and Zomboy. Calvertron played many more of his own tracks including 8bit Dreamz and Lazerbeam, all available on Beatport.

Tonight, Infected Mushroom is taking the stage with their FungusAmongus 2013 Tour.
