| Waiting for the bass to drop |
1:58 am: Everyone was shuffling to
Knife Party's drum and bass climax. And then... silence, someone must've unplugged their CDJs.
1:59 am:Silence
2:00 am:Still no music
2:01 am:Still silent and rowdy screaming fans yell "Datsik, Datsik"
2:02 am:Either it was a very off beat set change during a song, or a shitty set change. Datsik begins his set, as a bulk of the crowd begins to march our of the arena. The dance floor is now half empty -- what a shitty way for him to start off his Birthday. It is a clear indication that the name
Knife Party drew most of the bass-heads on this night.

2:14 am: Datsik got me dancing with those who stayed as remixed "Gin and Juice" -- Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg couldn't drop the bass this hard, even if they wanted to.
2:24 am:In Vegas, you can be who ever you want to be. A guy is line dancing to drum and bass, literally kicked off his shoes violently, plaid shirt and all.
2:56 am:As he ends his West Coast set with a dub-fied version of "California Love" Datsik said this is the best birthday with friends as he is joined on stage by friend
Excision once again.

3:01 am: A rapping
Borgore hits the decks and--in a brilliant move of autopilot DJing-- clicks "Levels" (Skrillex remix) on his itunes playlist. Someone shoot me now.
3:02 am: Now he brought girls dancing on stripper poles on each side of his turntable -- life is much better.
3:05-3:07 am: Boregore is now rapidly going through a random set of songs "Somebody To Love (Skream remix) to a hard-style break, followed by a dubstep remix of Riskay's "Smell Yo Dick," heads back to mainstream world with "Have You Seen Molly" and "Bass Canon" -- couldn't he stick with one song for more than 45 seconds?
