Monsters of Bass at 910 Live Last Night

Because the concert fell on a Sunday, the artists decided to reverse their order of appearance with FreQ Nasty performing first, followed by MartyParty and then Opiuo around 1 am. FreQ Nasty's set moved between dubstep and drum 'n' bass. The dance floor was electric. I even watched as a security guard, positioned at the edge of the dance floor, could not contain his urge to dance. Every few minutes he would catch him self bobbing his head and dipping his shoulders and then quickly stop. I asked him if he enjoyed the music.

"I have the best job in the world," he said. "I get to listen to dubstep tonight and watch a bunch of people dance like idiots."

When MartyParty hit the stage, nearly everyone in the venue migrated to the dance floor. He played a mixture of old and new songs and even included a few remixes by other artists. Soon it became apparent that MartyParty is a producer and not a live DJ, despite the fact that his music is best heard live. His transitions were often abrupt and at certain points he let the music stop completely.

Before his set he told me that the Saturday night show in L.A. was the biggest of his career. Perhaps in the afterglow, he was just a tad sloppy. Whatever the case may be, the crowd was either way too faded or bass-smitten to notice, much less care. They continued dancing.

Opiuo took the stage late in the evening. His slightly groovier music gave the crowd something to unwind to but most people in attendance did not relent. They just kept dancing and dancing.
