GDD™ presents CONTROL at the Avalon w/ GRUM + Felguk + Neoteric!

If you guys have been keeping up on the sexy sounds of Scottish mood-maker, GRUM, for the past couple months, you would know about his highly acclaimed album, Heartbeats, that was released on Ultra and d:vision Records earlier this summer. Each track on the album is a winner, and after doing our show with GRUM along with The Twelves in the Spring, I vowed to never miss a set of his in LA. Alongside the Scot will be the Brazilian electro duo, Felguk, as well as a bangin’ set from DJ Neoteric.

Please RSVP names to JONAH@GOTTADANCEDIRTY.COM to be on our discount ticket list for the evening. Pricing will be as follows:
-21+: $10 before 12am

Also, make sure to come stop by and say hi to us in the GDD room. We’re to the right of the main stage conveniently located next to the smoking patio. Luxurious.

Two remixes (you may not have heard) of one of the best songs on Heartbeats.

So this is one of the shows that I’ve been looking forward to the most this month as this will be the first time seeing either of the headliners.

On top of that, we have the Dutch duo Bingo Players coming to drop some serious housey sound Friday night in Hollywood.

GDD™ Presents ‘A Concert For The Amazon’ this Friday with Paul Oakenfold!

Photobucket
There is a special benefit at the Avalon this Friday to prevent deforestation in the Amazon jungle in South America, and who else would be better to throw down for saving some trees than the legendary PAUL OAKENFOLD? For those of you that just started listening to electronic music yesterday, Paul has been a visionary for the scene for over 20 years and continues to blast people away with his hair-raising, skin-tingling sets from Vegas to Ibiza every year. I commend the people of the Amazon Foundation for their efforts and helping put all of this together, so please come out and support because all proceeds from the night will be donated to purchasing land that is in danger of deforestation and will be given to local native tribes for preservation.

*UPDATE!: BURNS and Kill The Noise just added to the lineup. Yes, now you have to go.
