Bassnectar's sold out performance at St. Andrew's Hall last Saturday was off the hook. 

People from all over Michigan as well as Ontario, Canada, waited in line to get into the show; the line stretched around the entire building.

As soon as Bassnectar took the stage, bass filled the concert hall and everyone started cheering and jumping. The floorboards actually shook as each set of rhythmic jumps took place.

St. Andrew's was packed with trippy glow sticks, sick sounds and an entirely enthusiastic and energetic crowd. Three screens were set up above Bassnectar, displaying a plethora of different shots, timed perfectly with the beats the DJ was producing.

Bassnectar's ability to remix genres like rock, reggae and rap into one kickass song was mind-blowing. Towards the end of the set, he even remixed music from the movie The Matrix and included shots of the movie on the back screens.

One of the best parts of seeing Bassnectar perform live, as if the loud bass and intense environment aren't enough, is how enthusiastic a performer he is. I have seen far too many DJs simply stand in front of their mixers and, well, mix. But Bassnectar is so connected to the crowd, headbanging as he creates new beats, that just watching him is entertaining.
