Club Nokia and Los Angelenos get a special treat tonight when Moderat - the esteemed collaboration of Modoselektor and Apparat - unleashes that good sort of filth as Thursday turns to Friday. The collab does not tour often - so electronic music aficionados take note. The late addition of Tokimonsta only makes the bill significantly better --- and makes the decision to not go that much more ignorant. Don't miss the queen of electronic beats (TOKiMONSTA), where she is likely to perform a handful of tracks from her Ultra release "Half Shadows." It's rare that such high quality musicianship and production skills packs a bill in Los Angeles and tickets are still available day of --- but they are, and for all ages. Doors are at 9 and Patricio will be first to the decks. Follow this link if you want to ensure you're in the building when the music drops.
Its the last Sunday of the year, the last Sunday of football and the last chance to see a handful of artists perform in 2012. Popular producer and relaxed party general Laidback Luke gets down at Avalon Hollywood. For other beat offerings - Feed Me drops a DJ set at Yost Theater.
For laidback vibes - The Dustbowl Revival collective hosts Bacchanal at Del Monte Speakeasy and The Aggrolites get a little dubby at Saint Rocke. Want weird? Its Dirt Nasty baby at The Viper Room with Beardo and The Attack. Downtown Ludacris and Kelly Rowland deliver some pop flavored urban tuneage at Club Nokia, other notbales include Peter Murphy at The Observatory and Donovan Frankenreiter at Coach House.

If you're not already tired of your costume or too hung over to move - Halloween themed parties are all the rage again tonight - and dance-a-thons are in no shortage. No matter what side of town you're on - there is someone pushing a few buttons to keep your feet moving. On The westside, those buttons are pushed courtesy of Goldroom, Yuksek, Steffi Graf and Jamuel St. Jones at The Central SAPC. If you missed their show on Thursday at The Echo/Echoplex, tonight's your chance to correct that mistake at this Audio Absinthe presents event. You can buy tickets here too.
O.C'ers shouldn't come up to the beach though - I'd advise sticking down by Detroit Bar for Flight Facilities and Fred Falke, unless, of course, you were already going downtown to Club Nokia to see Flight Facilities open for The Presets. Benny Benassi, Congorock and Pink is Punk also get heavy downtown at Exchange LA and Belasco Theater hosts a haunted mansion with $5,000 in cash prizes for costumes.
Take a trip up the 101 and contine to Halloween BOOootie LA at Echoplex or try Hollywood's Avalon to dance wee into the morning with Erick Morillo or with Supreme Team presenting DJ Felli Fel and Will.i.am at Supperclub. Its a potentially destination for the hip-hop fans spilling out of the sold out Macklemore & Ryan Lewis show at Fonda Theatre (Note, if anyone can find Macklemore's threads from this video, aka his jacket, I kind of want that to be the "cold ass honky" as my Halloween costume for tonight).
There is other hip-hop stuff too - like Brother Ali and Homeboy Sandman at El Rey Theatre or Skeme at Key Club.Rock fans get a true treat with Jane's Addiction at The Wiltern. They're supported by Thenewno2. The Railroad Revival Tour chooches through town too with Band of Horses at Warner Grand Theater. Since it's Halloween Weekend - KCRW hosts their masquerade ball with tunes served up by Z-Trip, Mexican Institute of Sound, Dustbowl Revival, Hanni El Khatib and more. White Arrows at Constellation Room is also a SUPERGOOD choice.

I LOVE L.A. HALLOWEEN MASQUERADE PARTY @ The Airliner
Halloween Weekend is on like Donkey Kong in Los Angeles with plenty of costume parties on the bill for tonight. No costume party will rage harder than the Collaborative Media extravaganza at Vanguard. The bill features not only a live performance from The Presets - but DJ sets from Australia's Miami Horror, members of The Rapture, Etienne De Crecy, Foster The People, Guns in The Sun and more. Get tickets here. You can also dance in a costume at clubs downtown with Sex Panther at Belasco Theater or in the O.C. at Yost Theater or Detroit Bar.
To move to some filthy beats - go to Club Nokia for Flying Lotus, The Gaslamp Killer and Jeremiah Jae or - if you want lyrics and posses - go to A$Ap Rocky, Schoolyboy Q and Danny Brown at Hollywood Palladium. Downsize for some more intimate hip-hop at The Roxy with Dilated Peoples, Fashawn, LMNO and DJ Mishaps.
Punk out for a homo-ween event at Los Globos with SSion. Go for free by winning tickets through us - just tweet out @iheartcomix @clublosglobos and @supergoodmusic in the same tweet to enter. If you want to be spooked by guitar play - Jon Brion at Largo could be your jam.
