LAxD is a new series of events starting this Saturday Aug 20 in DTLA that explores the deep confluence of the rich history of Detroit’s electronic music legacy and the expansive nightlife landscape of the Los Angeles underground. Elbow Grease and The Black Lodge present a 100% BIPOC lineup that carries on the truth narrative with DJ sets and live performances focussed on these cultural roots often overlooked in the current global and local party scenes, while the Architect & Heroes team initiates the evening with a live panel discussion with all the artists concerned.
