OBSERVE: A New Techno Beginning in Los Angeles Starting November 24th

/in /by

For the last 15 years, Droid Behavior and their INTERFACE event series have become synonymous with Los Angeles’ now-thriving techno scene.

There is no doubt that the two brands have been at the forefront of the LA techno world, pushing a sound that was once widely rejected in the city. The team built something great out of nothing, pouring blood, sweat and tears to overcome obstacles, doubters and resistance to build a foundation upon which all techno events in Los Angeles have been built since.

At 6AM we recognize the crucial role INTERFACE events have had in the creating of the techno scene in this city, a scene which makes it possible for us to contribute with our own events today. In fact, most of us at 6AM can directly pinpoint to the exact INTERFACE event that set us down this techno road we are still enjoying today. For us, it was these events that directly lead us to fall in love with techno and, as a result, want to work in this industry.

As drumcell and Truncate announced today via social media, while Droid currently remains dormant for an unforeseeable future, a portion of the crew behind those revolutionary events has decided to move forward with a new vision and a new project: OBSERVE.
