Wet Hot American Summer

Don't know when the last time you spent a substantial portion of un-air conditioned time in the Southern California sunshine was, but if it was semi-recently then you know we've been deep a classic late August heat wave. Skin gets sticky, the brain clouds over, and the only activity worth leaving the house for is cannonballing in a turquoise swimming pool. We at Groovetickets have one such opportunity. Homemade Events is throwing an epic Wet Pool Party on Saturday, August 30th at The Custom Hotel in lovely Los Angeles, and none other than mushroom-jazz maven himself Mark Farina will be providing your splashy soundtrack. The party begins bumpin' at one in the afternoon and goes till you're satisfied, so come early, stay late, get wet, and get wild. Beat the heat with beats, for reals.

Doors open at a chipper six PM and don't close until deep in the pre-dawn (four AM), and the bill boasts monsters of the midnight dance brigade like Digitalism, Above & Beyond, Richie Hawtin, Kaskade, Cosmic Gate, Claude Vonstroke, plus others. The NOS Event Center in San Bernardino is playing host to this hardcore slumber buster so the proceedings are gloriously all-ages, exquisite VIP packages are available, and costumes are thoroughly encouraged.

Voices from the Undergound

The only place to be this ”LABOR DAY WEEKEND” Saturday, Aug 30th. Voices From The Underground. I guess from a certain vantage point, it really is quite true that there's no such thing as a bad summer. At worst, the weather's a little too hot and there's a lot of mosquitoes and work sucks, and at best you get a badass tan and cannonball off a high dive into a sparkling pool of bikini babes. Of course the reality is inevitably somewhere between the two, but the tenet that “summer rules” is fairly unbreakable. Especially considering the existence of massive dance extravaganzas like IT Family's second annual Voices From The Underground which is going down at the incredible Hollywood South Lot at 6800 Hawthorn Boulevard in the one and only Hollywood, CA, and features the talents of a zillion record spinning wunderkinds. It's nine great hours of the emotional equivalent of the aforementioned babe splash, and so should be seized with insane haste. Viva la vida.
