I heard about the
Hidden Detour Party about two days before the event and I had absolutely no idea what to expect except that there would be lots of dancing. And I guess that's all we really needed to know! Boost Mobile & Fader put on 2 parties at these hidden locations in LA and the only way to go was to rsvp/text to get a text back of the address on the days of, raver status true. We went Friday night for the
Ed Banger crew.
Quick History: Pedro Winter a.k.a. Busy P runs
Ed Banger Recs since '02, it was part of Headbanger Entertainment. Most of the acts are French electro/house DJs and Artists including heavyweights
DaftPunk! Friday night was one of the best DJ live sets we have ever heard/seen/experienced. Some of the DJs included Kavinsky, So-Me, Justice, Mehdi and of course Busy P. We danced to mixes, remixes, mashups done way proper on the 1s and 2s of Feist, Beastie, some old school, lots of dance and house beats. You could definitely feel the anticipation from all the boiling point build-ups and follow-the-leader beat drops. LA brings the eclectic crowds out; clubbers to indierockers and Rec heads to some older folks (dance knows no age). I remember
Googling the location, street viewing, and realizing there wasn't really anything there other than some random/regular downtown warehouses. Turned out to be a
perfect spot.


These parties of course were lead-ups to Saturday's
L.A. Detour Festival which included Moving Units, The Ed Banger Crew, Teddybears etc. etc. I do say good show.
