Megan Sutherland's Electronic Music Event Picks In Los Angeles
On the fence about the weekend that lies ahead? Let me springboard you to the future that could possibly be all yours if you glance at these party premonitions closely. Take some notes, take a nap, take a Xanax if that’s your thing. Whatever you do, take care and enjoy this tail end of a summer in your glorious city basked in world class beats. Some daytime destinations for you to add to your repertoire, along with ammo for the night owl individuals as well.
“FIN.”

FRAMEWORK FRIDAYS
SOUND. HOLLYWOOD
Word on the street is that Hollywood mega club Sound had a swanky renovation. The already impressive venue now has an even more stellar sound system and completely different floor plan that is said to be quite legit and even feel like an underground berlin night club. Sheisa!
Reveal this rad location yourself tomorrow!!
We say #soundlovesyou a lot, but never has it been more true. In our nightly pursuit of a revolutionary nightlife experience, we took a moment to revolutionize ourselves first. Sound is more than a nightclub - it's the house our Sound family calls home - so we are beyond invested in infusing your experience with surprise and delight each and every time you visit us. It's what we want so what better than to give that to all of you in our extended family? Since family is the name of the game, we've invited our good friends Ricoshëi, Rampue, and Isaiah Martin to celebrate a season of change with us this Friday for Framework. Also. They're weird and awesome. We like weird and awesome. That's kind of our thing.

AND HIM / INCEPTION SATURDAYS
EXCHANGE. LOS ANGELES
Inception Saturdays always come in hot, however this week it’s especially sweltering featuring AndHim, Justin Jay, Kedd Cook and Jon Dadon.
FUEGO!
“Inception-Quality music is born from the soul but gifted life through the gathering of like-minded people on the dance floor, giving wings to friendship and feelings to thought. Every Saturday at Exchange, good music and good memories bloom. This is the Inception of something beautiful.”
Andhim – new boys in town
“Their sound, which they self describe as “Super House” has become its very own genre built from their soul and passion. Andhim’s unique sound, party proven and of reduced nature, is organic with an emphasis in the finer detail.
The boys grassroots flow from Hip-Hop, and they work mainly with samples which makes their tracks one of a kind. This individuality has earned them a home with Labels such as Monaberry, Terminal M, Sunset Handjob or Get Physical.
When performing live one can really feel the full commitment and passion of the boys.Energetic, creative and always entertaining, they present their very own interpretation of electronic dance music that makes dads cheer and mums scream. The boys see the record player as their instrument, which they use to create new sound worlds, which separates them from the standard reproductive character of a DJ.
After massive gigs through Europe, North America and Asia, the boys continuously work on their sound and development in an effort to explore new worlds of sound. With strong support from many Artists and Labels of the scene they are looking forward to the future with optimism and are excited to make the people of the world dance, smile and go crazy!”
