Once again, Bassrush Experience has put together yet another heart-stopping show, inviting six incredible performers to the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California. On Saturday, March 4, Bassrush hosted a show as part of Datsik’s Ninja Nation tour. When purchasing my ticket I was already excited to see Datsik, Crizzly, and Virtual Riot, however, I was unaware of the talent they would be featuring at this show. Along with the three originals, Cesquax, Rusko, and Warren G joined the experience adding three more styles to the mix. Starting at 9:00pm with Cesquax, each performer was given a forty-five minute slot to tear the Palladium down.
As this show followed the release of his latest EP, Sensei, I was most excited to see Datsik perform. Not only did he play new songs from Sensei, but also many of his older songs along with remixes of fellow DJ’s beats, like one of my personal favorite’s “Feel Your Love” by Flux Pavilion and NGHTMRE. Mixing past and present original songs with other styles morphed into his own, Datsik truly put on a show to remember. All five of the other performers added their own piece to the experience as well with Cesquax, Crizzly, Virtual Riot, and Rusko adding drum, bass, and electronic and Warren G bringing in the hip-hop.
Though the actual show was enough to draw in any basshead, the venue added so much more to the event. Being intimate enough to feel connected to Datsik but still holding a ton of people, the Palladium was a perfect fit for the Ninja Nation Tour. The lights and deep bass in the room felt like it’s own world away from the outside, making it the perfect place to let loose and enjoy the music.
If given the chance, check out the Ninja Nation Tour. Datsik, Crizzly, and Virtual Riot are sure to have a lot of surprises in store for upcoming shows, it is not something to be passed up on.
