D1tch P4rty
07.17.25

Before you cruised down the boulevard as the sweet soul oldies of the legendary Art Laboe Connection fill the airwaves at sunset, you heard the energy of the acid melodies and felt the heavy hard house bass filling the backyards of the D1TCH P4RTIES hosted by a local Party Crew. Join host ANTHNY GBRIEL as he takes you on a sonic journey where he’ll dive into the beautifully misunderstood culture of the Party Crew scene to celebrate the iconic Ditch Parties that once lit up Los Angeles, California. He welcomes all vatos, vatas, groovers, breakers and go-go girls to relive those monumental moments that still resonate in the heart of so many Angelenos.
On this month’s edition of D1TCH P4RTY, ANTHNY GBRIEL is joined by Escaliente.
Danny Escalante, also known as Escaliente, is a native of South Central Los Angeles with Mexican and Salvadoran heritage. His musical style is diverse, encompassing Cumbia Colombiana, Banda, Dembow, and Latin hits from the new millennium. If it’s upbeat and in Spanish, you can be sure he’ll play it.
Escaliente is a resident DJ for I Love Micheladas’ “First Fridays,” one of the largest monthly Latin parties in Los Angeles. Additionally, he curates his own highly successful Latin party series called Cuatro Por Cuatro (4×4), which also based in Los Angeles.
