20 Years of House in Los Angeles with Sacred Grounds
Dance culture has evolved at a rapid rate around the world; some countries faster than others, but each rich with their own unique history. Where some cultures have developed a very specific sound, Los Angeles has always been a diverse melting pot of musical ideas and groups.

This Labor Day weekend will mark a very special occasion for the Los Angeles scene too. Sacred Grounds, one of the most influential house music collectives in LA, will be celebrating their twenty-year anniversary with none other than Doc Martin and Mark Farina. The two house veterans are gearing up for a 2 x 6 open format back-to-back, with a few additional surprises for the live set.
