EDM artist Troyboi is gonna “Buss It” open Thursday night at the Glass House on his college tour this year. Troyboi’s dancefloor-packing sets pair heavy bass and twisting melodic outbursts with a mesmerizingly bright light show. With samples pulling from from Southeast Asia, the U.K. and elsewhere, Troyboi’s mixes have a flavor of their own, and this guy rocks the stage for anyone wanting to dance and vibe with the rhythm. Loud and energetic, this show will shake the glass walls of this venue, and provide plenty of drops to keep people jumping through the night.

TroyBoi is a master of tone. In a genre that all too often prioritizes cursory beauty, maximalist explosions and the instant gratification of the massive drop, the London-based producer prefers to give his listeners a single feeling to explore. Consider “O.G.” from his debut album, Left is Right—a trap affair, packed with the requisite trilling high hats, a syncopated kick-snare bounce and a gangster slow-mo refrain. Using this limited palette, he methodically adds and subtracts elements, growing and shrinking the beat, allowing it to alternate between deep and shallow breaths until it reaches its natural conclusion.
