Going to Your First Warehouse Party? Here’s What You’ll Need to Know

/in /by

It’s 2:22am on a Saturday night. You and your friends are in the middle of a dirty, dim-lit, dis-inviting part of town, and none of you know exactly where you’re going. You texted the hotline looking for an address and instead they only gave you coordinates, along with the vague instructions to “look for the yellow door.” You’ve spent 10 minutes doing 3 laps around the same 2 blocks and your friend who has never done this before wants to go home; but the rest of your squad pre-gamed way too hard to abort the mission.

What You Can Do To Help Keep The Underground Alive

/in /by

As the underground techno and house scene in the United States continues to grow, it’s vitally important that every single person involved understands proper etiquette and rules of conduct when attending such events.

By definition alone, the moment the “underground” isn’t underground anymore it ceases to exist, and all it takes is careless behavior to bring unnecessary light to great events occurring in your city. Promoters are undoubtedly responsible for ensuring that every single event they put on is planned and executed with attendee safety as a first priority, but they also need your help in ensuring that the event goes smoothly and becomes one of a series, rather than a single burning flame destined for no future.

Win 2 Tickets To Movement Electronic Music Festival 2018

/in /by

On March 31st 2018, WORK by 6AM and Synthetik Minds combine forces to present a special night in Los Angeles’ underground that celebrates not only 10 Years of 6AM, but the legacy of Detroit Techno with an Official Movement Pre-Party featuring pioneer Kevin Saunderson.

Platinum-selling recording artist, label boss, festival promoter, true innovator in the pantheon of popular music, cultural champion, cracking DJ: there’s a lot to be said about Kevin Saunderson. His influence runs deep, through both adopted hometown of Detroit, and music culture as a whole: as one of the Belleville Three, the high school trio which also includes Juan Atkins and Derrick May, he irreparably changed the face of electronic music; with Inner City, he gave it some of its most memorable tunes. 

The genesis of today’s enormous techno scene can be retraced straight to Kevin, Derrick and Juan, as their formative experiments on rudimentary hardware sketched a blueprint for a genre that was yet to exist. By absorbing Kraftwerk, cutting-edge funk, local radio stalwart The Electrifying Mojo’s electicism, and all manner of new synthesizer and drum machine-led pop music, the Belleville Three broke new ground as musicians and DJs in the 80s.

Hector Moralez

The thriving Los Angeles warehouse party scene is in full throttle this summer, each weekend providing an array of options to please even the most discerning of underground techno and house fans.

Coming up next week, on Saturday 20th of August, is the long awaited return of Siren, a party series hosted by Sacred Grounds LA. Headlining the night, which will take place at a yet-to-be-announced private DTLA space, is none other than Hector Moralez, whose 2013 debut album with Chris Carrier on the acclaimed French imprint Apollonia created waves throughout the international house music scene. The LP spawned a new live show, a first for Hector and a testament to his vision of constantly pushing boundaries and creating new sounds.

With support from some of the genre’s greatest, including DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, Dan Ghenacia, Apollonia, Chris Carrier, Mark Farina, Diz and DJ Heather, Moralez has gone on to release on Magnetic Recordings, Robsoul Recordings, Get Physical and Roush just to name a few. Joining him on the decks for the event that runs 10pm-6am will be Sacred Grounds’ very own G-Dubbs, Pots ‘n Kettles’ Destrada – who will be playing a special birthday set – and Fine Time’s Tahl K.

SIREN-COVER2016

Created in 1995 with the vision of bringing people of all walks of life together through the love of house music, Sacred Grounds remains one of the longest running parties in Los Angeles. In the past they have hosted artists the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Pierre, Sonny Fodera, Phil Weeks and Drumcell just to name a few. Their 20 Year Anniversary party at Lot 613 this past September featured none other than a 2×6 set by house veterans Doc Martina and Mark Farina to a packed house.

If you’re searching for that true Los Angeles underground house vibe then look no further than Siren by Sacred Grounds. Expect a true multi-cultural and visceral experience where emphasis is on quality of music, inclusion and the total focus and respect for the culture of house music.
