Last Friday, Dirty Dutch duo Chuckie and Gregori Klosman played to a packed house at the Fox Theater in Pomona, CA. The Dirty Dutch crew's signature combo of synths and beats makes them a highly anticipated act among dance music crowds.

A pioneer of "dirty house" music culture, DJ and producer Chuckie has gone on to found the genre, label and group known as Dirty Dutch in recent years.

Klosman played a high-energy and well-mixed set, with rave anthems and his own twist on electronic music that got the crowd moving.

Then, it was Chuckie's turn on the turntables, on which he wasn't shy about showing off his skills.

The "Let the Bass Kick" master didn't drop his notorious song that night, but he did have numerous countdowns with the crowd before he finally dropped the beat after prolonging the build-up each time.

Often, the drop was accompanied by smoke shooting up out of canons, as Chuckie took the crowd along for the ride with his steady beats, build-ups, and drops throughout the night.

Although the visuals and theatrics were minimal compared to other events, the crowd was there for the music, and seemed to love every moment of it.

The Dirty Dutch tour will continue on, playing around the world and even on the epic Groove Cruise, at a private beach party on Catalina Island during the 3-day EDM cruise. Stay tuned for more details and coverage!
