Electronic Music Events in Los Angeles run across three separate tiers - Hollywood superclubs, rooftop and open-air sessions, and the Downtown warehouse and afterhours floors - spread far enough apart that no single source covers them together. In Mood's data, 458 electronic events are listed across Los Angeles in August 2026, from house and disco to techno and afro house. This guide covers the headline club bookings, the open-air end and the underground floor, and how to find a night that fits.
House leads the LA floor
The clearest read on the LA electronic calendar is what dominates it. In Mood's data, the house family - house, tech house, deep house and afro house - totals 342 August listings against 90 for the techno family, a roughly four-to-one split that tells you the city leans groove-led rather than toward the harder four-four end. August backs that up at club level: French future-house producer Tchami closes the month at Academy LA on August 29, with Getter, Dvbbs and Bonnie X Clyde filling out the Academy programme before him. Sound Nightclub carries the melodic and organic end - Chris Luno on August 7, Nitefreak's afro house set on August 14 and Sabo's Balearic session on August 15 - while Exchange LA runs Habstrakt on August 14 and the Space Yacht Tech My House party on August 28.
The biggest electronic booking of the month sits outside the clubs entirely: RÜFÜS DU SOL hold the Kia Forum for five August nights, an arena-scale run of melodic house that few US cities get at all.
Rooftops, parks and the daytime set
The other half of the LA electronic calendar happens outdoors and in daylight. Hotel terraces and rooftops run weekly golden-hour sessions across the summer, the polished, view-led end of the city's programme. The Sunset Sounds series at Terra on August 7 sets local DJs against the Hollywood Hills, and Sunset Rooftop in Hollywood carries 26 August listings of open-format day parties and after-hours. Downtown, Dim Mak in the Park takes over Pershing Square on August 15, moving the label's tech house and bass bookings into a public park - the open-air end of the scene at its most accessible.
The warehouse and afterhours end
Underneath the clubs sits LA's harder, later scene. Eagle LA is the busiest electronic room on the board with 37 August listings, a nightly rotation of house, disco and nu-disco floors. The harder end surfaces even in the big rooms - Oguz brings hard techno to Exchange LA's Mutate party on August 22 - but the properly underground layer is listed differently: 44 August events in Mood's data carry only "Los Angeles (Secret Location)" as their venue, 19 of them house-family and 15 techno-family bookings at undisclosed addresses. The honest caveat is that this end is the least predictable: parties are one-offs, locations move, and door details land last-minute.
How to find an electronic night in LA
The difficulty is the same as the rest of the city, sharpened. The electronic scene spreads from Hollywood superclubs to rooftop terraces to Downtown afterhours floors, hours apart, announced across promoter Instagrams, Resident Advisor and word of mouth. No single source covers the club headliners, the daytime rooftops and the warehouse parties together.
Reading the city as one feed is the fix. Mood pulls every Los Angeles electronic event - club, rooftop and warehouse - into a single calendar with date, lineup and a link, filterable to house or techno, so the question becomes which night is on near you rather than which promoters to follow. Following an artist surfaces their LA dates automatically, which is what matters in a scene this scattered.

Where are the best electronic and techno clubs in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles splits its electronic scene across Hollywood superclubs like Academy LA and Sound Nightclub, Downtown rooms like Exchange LA, rooftop and hotel terraces for the daytime house sessions, and Eagle LA plus secret-location parties for the harder, later floors. Hollywood and the rooftops lean polished and house-driven; the warehouse end runs rawer. The right room depends on the night you want - a club, a terrace or an after-hours floor.
Is Los Angeles good for house and techno?
Los Angeles has one of the largest electronic scenes in the United States, with 458 electronic events in August 2026 in Mood's data. The house family outnumbers techno roughly four to one - house, tech house, deep house and afro house total 342 listings against 90 for techno, hard techno and melodic techno - so the city leans melodic and groove-led rather than toward the harder Berlin sound, with a deep rooftop and after-hours layer on top.
How do I find warehouse and underground parties in LA?
LA's harder parties cluster at Eagle LA, after-hours bars and secret-location spaces - 44 August events in Mood's data list only "Los Angeles (Secret Location)" as their venue - often with late-announced details, which makes them hard to track. The practical approach is an aggregated calendar that pulls announced nights into one place - Mood lists the city's house and techno events with dates and lineups, filterable by genre.
Los Angeles rewards anyone who treats its electronic sprawl as a filtering problem. The full month of house and techno listings, with dates and lineups, lives on Mood's Los Angeles house events page.
