- RA goes beyond the sunshine and the sprawl to explore LA's underground scene.
LA's reputation precedes itself. Around the world, Hollywood looms large, presenting America's second-biggest city as a land of palm trees, red carpets and celebrities. This couldn't be further than the truth. As Mahssa Taghinia of Mount Analog puts it, LA is a "geographical memoir, there's no truth or falsehood really, everybody's idea of LA is very personal." There is an escapist bent to the place, and many artists find a small patch of paradise to hole up and work on music.
Of course, that lifestyle and the so-called "Autopia," criss-crossed by freeways inhabited by single-driver cars, can be incredibly isolating. People cling to the communities fostered by record stores, radio stations and raves. The endless expanse of the city provides warehouse space for promoters pushed underground by a 2 AM curfew. Since the early '90s, artists from around the world have flown to LA every weekend to play back-alley spots whose locations remain unannounced until a few hours before the party starts. The word-of-mouth aspect of these events reflects a large trend in the city: so much of what LA has to offer happens behind closed doors. Our latest Real Scenes film tries to take you there, documenting a scene as thriving as it is elusive.

It's so great to see Los Angeles get some love for its music scene. I've been here awhile and due to lifestyle changes don't get to experience musical art the way I used to... So I didn't even know about Dublab. So thanks for making this about our city, thanks for showing LA love and thanks for continuing this series... I love it.
This really made me feel like I was in LA, and by that I mean listening to a bunch of people from LA complaining about LA.
I lived in LA for the past 10 years and never had people around me complaining you obviously don't live in Los Angeles or if you do you just surrounding yourself with the wrong people
And at what point in this video was anyone complaining? Lol
These documentaries are so inspiring... Always looking forward to hear/see more! Thank you for this!
Los ANGELES is like a CHOOSE your own Adventure Book.
SO TRUE!!!
True you could go up or you can go way down your choice..
I remember LA in 93-97 during the height of Rave culture...it was like any big city that had mega raves, small raves, and the undergrounds. Frankly LA was amazing and I went to raves in NYC, San Fran, and Chicago. Each had its own spirit but the one thing that made LA different from the rest of them were the badass Desert Raves thrown by the Moontribe! Those were the spirit of real raves.
you never had a rave culture and you will never have one. It was underground and only small venues, that's it. Don't overhype.
just spent 6 months in LA and here are some pro tips/events/promoters not mentioned in this documentary: for house & techno check out made to move in chinatown, low, into the woods, incognito, & lights down low. for jungle/dnb (which is actually massive in LA) check out big booty bass, hidden jungle, lostkawz, concrete jungle, respect, drumslinga, and xcellerated. surely i'm missing a bunch more. other cool parties can be found at 19hz dot info and restless nites. enjoy!
super helpful. thx!
Excited to see Chris Cruse, Esteban Adame and Drumcell. I love the scene in LA and I'm proud you guys get to share it with the world.
Watching these is a convenient low cost way of seeing what's on the other side without needing money to travel. I love it.
you got one shot in extremely familiar with, and it's right on E Cesar Chavez in Boyle Heights (where the king taco is). i've been raised on the other side of the scene, i was born into a non-musical and poor family. it's weird seeing documentaries like these because i am not familiar with these images of LA. this isn't my LA. and that's awesome - to a degree. i wish there was more representation for the other side of downtown, in East LA, Montebello, Monterey Park, etc. I don't even know what's going on over here, but i'd love to find out more and help make waves for my LA. it's pretty wonderful that everyone has their own perspective of this huge county. i'm glad this exists. thanks !
I LOVE these documentaries, every single one of them. Thanks RA
Dublab is a great radio station; that and NTS ...couldn't live without either
Best production so far on youtube for me.
Keep it coming .
Thanks
Berlin is deep and free and real. Its such a shame that other big cities in the world are lacking the freedom they have in Berlin and some other european cities.
There is no other place in the world like Berlin, Im so happy that I get to call it my home.
Highly appreciate the content!
that the L.A I grown up!! glad they still curatos to this vibe!!!
His first comment when he says you're in a box. That's your choice. You can choose to live in an area where everything is located close to you or live somewhere where u have to drive to go where you want. It's a big city but you don't have to go three cities over to get a cheeseburger when theirs a burger place two blocks away. If you live in downtown u can easily go to Santa Monica. North. East. South all the way to Long Beach. Of course if u live in the hills u can afford to have a car. And about the "fake people" the funny thing is all those people are east coast transplants. The real people live in the south east and north LA who been residents for decades. Jut speaking the truth from someone who has generations of families living in LA and was raised in South Central LA.
Well this is def my favourite episode of Real Scenes. So inspiring! And again i have discovered another new artists and things to watch (maybe im kinda sad that i didnt see Delroy Edwards there). I wish that my city (Ostrava, Czech Republic) has something similar.
+Moskalus at least Delroy's music was in there.
+Jordan Hearns true
Do Chicago next, the birthplace of house music. Plenty of underground parties here every weekend too.
yea this came off as trendy superficial middle class 'nightlife' .
@@fantasyEXX Detroit=Techno, Chicago=House
That's what it's all about, connection ✌️Never heard of Dublab before, but I'll be locking on now. Awesome job RA, stunning x
Thanks for covering LA. Moved from LDN to SF and been struggling to find the same electronic music scene here. This sums up what I've experienced perfectly, everything is hidden due to the damn 2am closing time!! When you find it, its so great.
Hello there.
Stumbled upon this vid as part of my research. I’m from Tel Aviv, relocating to LA next week. Although Covid has other plans for ravers, I still wonder, as a person coming from the European nightlife-rave culture, where in LA can I find clubs/productions that throw genuine underground electronic music events?? Need me some electronic goodies, electro, techno, acid, none of that comercial tech house BS!!
Check out OBSERVE, DIRTY EPIC, INCOGNITO, 6AM Group, there is nothing going on now during the pandemic but once the dancefloor is safe again I’m positive these crews will
Be the most active in the real of YRU underground techno, acid, house and so on. If you don’t want main stream tech house then stay away from the big clubs in hollywooof
@@penroseconjecture5318 thanks for this. I'm also moving out to LA soon and this is helpful in knowing where to start.
Fantastic work, RA! So happy you used Dublab as a focal point.
Im from Berlin and I've been to LA a few times, hate it. Too many superficial people who only care about themselves. Berlin is the complete opposite.
What a beautifully produced video.
18:10 -- any other disco biscuits fans love seeing the jp8000 when he's talking about Music being the connector and healer???
Was looking forward to this one!
Excellent video. Hits pretty close to home...
Usio making his contribution @ 15:30! Awesome vision. cant wait to visit. or stay.
This was beautiful and magical. I loved Los Angeles while I visited. I hope to move out there from east soon.
Big thank you to Resident Advisor for giving the world different perspectives about the immense scale and power of electronic music. This is what we live for, this is what we die for. Don't stop!
Glad to see Santi interviewed in this!
There were parties all the time in the late 90's - early 00's. Downtown LA had Orion's and there were crazy desert and LA Forest parties happening frequently.
Once the Rave act was enacted as Law in 03, a lot of it died down or went commercial.
these things are getting sooo good!
I honestly never had the slightest desire to visit LA, until now.
This is top notch quality
Matthewdavid had me cracking up, seems like a really chill guy though! Great docu
crazy inspiring
now i just wanna play some gta
Much respect to Dublab!
I am from Johannesburg South Africa and I have always wanted to have a reason to visit Los Angeles and I got excited when I saw this post. I am still not convinced about getting on a 25 hours flight to see the city of fame. I feel like its already done on tv and there's not much of a reason for me to go visit. this docu was open ended for me, I thought they would explore layers we dont know about this city but they only highlighted one. I guess L.A doesn't have depth and every layer is just as conceited as the next and they all kind of dont mix. Here in Johannesburg everyone is in everyone faces, House music scene here is massive and everyone parties with everyone.
@24:50 Cool seeing Robert Trujillo from METALLICA at your radio station.
so cool you guys featured dam funk on this
"You can find your little slice of heaven and exist within that." So inspiring.
Great work RA. A new real scenes is always exciting. quality directing music choice.
cool. how do you not include anything/anyone from the beats scene though? brainfeeder, low end theory, soulection?
much surprise such disappoint.
Scuba running the door about 3.45 in
+Joseph Harris Scuba?
i can't wait to explore this amazing underground scene, its just my favorite, just dance my night away with awesome beats and music. wow I just moved to Southern Cali, so this should be exciting. i hate normal clubs with all those fake people too.
been here my whole life I done it all from running a massive sound system in the rave years to just running a small DJ gig L.A. is very diverse I can count many different types of crowds anything from college to ghetto but no matter what there is one thing that makes everyone do the same thing at any crowd ghattering and that is the power of MUSIC no matter who you are if there is good music vibes in the air you will twitch
Andrew Hogge has no clue what he's talking about ; the acid house and RAVE movements were the dominant scenes in the 90s which includes early techno like Altern 8, Human Resource and Quadrophonia - taking place primarily in large warehouses (downtown) throughout Los Angeles including Compton and Long Beach. The contemporary techno scene began to flourish in 1998 ; punk died in 84' and is now regrouping in it's original home of East Los Angeles!
no they weren't. They were small underground venues with a small group of people. That's it.
You guys should do Toronto ! Even Montreal are very rich in electronic music !
Love it
Would someone kindly tell me the date of Frosty’s Celsius Drop special “All French” edition (25:14)? Can’t find it! Many thanks! 💕
Good documentary. Was hoping you'd guys show more of the hip hop and deep house scene in LA but there is only so much you can capture in 30 mins. To those who want to trash talk on LA, please come here and visit the city before saying something. Like every city in the world there are pros and cons.
DO MONTREALLLLLLLLLLLL SO MUCH TO SEE UP NORTH ITS CRAZY
+SIM L I agree!!! Montreal would be dope. Or Vancouver!!
do moscow or something :) not canada
fuck outta here
it's incredible
Wow what a great watch ! Really appreciate content like this
Btw can someone ID the one at @8:00 ?
delroy edwards - can u get with
righhht! that 2am cutoff had me sooo pissed. i could have remained in omaha, nebraska for my bday. we cut off at 2am
Thanks +RA for these documentaries! I grew up in LA, and support the NY underground scene. Super fascinating to get a look at what's brewing back home.
Anyone know the tune coming in at @15:50? Been looking for it for some time now.
Legend John Tejada dropping some knowledge
Love LA❤️Super Fun❤️
Born and raised in LA! (Pasadena) lol gotta represent that 323
Yeah, Jeni!
What shirt is Matthewdavid wearing?
'Awesome Tapes From Africa'!!! More Ata Kak please!
I'm flying into LA next week from Texas (for the David Gilmour of Pink Floyd concert) .. Wednesday to Saturday.. I'll prob be able to catch ... DJ Three (wed), Zimmer (thurs), Detroit Swindle(Fri), Cherushii (Live) and Dahlia(Fri) during my time there.
SouthTexasHouseCat where you living in Texas ?
I lived in LA since I was born till the age of 13 then moved to Pennsylvania. LA will always be my hometown and I have my happiest memories in the time that I lived there but I don't think I would like to raise my kids there
I love this video . You can tell they are so real and chill to be around . Hopefully I can come to a underground party one day

Oh yeah!
this one actually makes an impression of genuinity
Fire
Moving to LA next month can't wait to co-exist
2 years later, how's the city treatin you bro??
Being from LA, the most annoying thing is seeing a documentary with people who aren't even from here but just moved here and claim LA. This ain't Oklahoma, ur not from here.
What about the Syrian refugees?
David Morton facts
David Morton Properly said!!!
Dude are toys! We were doing this at 14-15. Theses are adults who were lame trying to be cool.
I’m with you !!!
LA's scene is so chill. I hope by next year I can move there to experience it. Tired of NYC.
Residence Advisory Can You Please Do a Episode of
North Carolina
Alex Olson @ 8:04 and 27:06
Los angeles is so diverse I wish you guys would touch upon the great food and culture Ie; korea town, Alhambra SGV, east los/boyle heights, south LA/Compton/watts!..etc
Santiago Salazar is an LA native? I never knew that! I thought he was a detroiter...
apparently the point of this video was for people to think of other towns in a segment type format to repeat this process but only for other cities which kind of seems like something that would happen in most peoples minds.
Where can I listen that last ambient track or follow the artist? I think it's Hypoxia - L’oubli.
drumcell.bandcamp.com/album/hypoxia-a-constant-preparation-for-loss
+Drumcell Espinosa Amazing track! Just bought you're EP. Is the bass done on the Buchla Music Easel too?
+Drumcell Espinosa THANK YOU for this, as my google skills were coming up short. This is such an EPIC track.
I'm watching this in 2020. Should I move to LA from Chicago?
fucking love this series
wish i got to see this side of LA
but i know nobody there
just like LA, my city Melbourne isn't known for its nightlife
but i think it has one of the best scenes in the world
and would love to see it on this series
this is the kind of shit that makes me love people
Once again, a good piece of work from RA. Still, even though the whole 'scission' thing between the celebrity and superficial image this city suffers from and the growing underground scene is very well outlined, my main feeling was that RA did not much try to get out of their comfort zone.
A bit of local underground artists, a few beautiful images of hidden parties taking place in unexpected spots, a little touch of spirituality and we are good to go. My thought is they could have gone a little bit deeper, I don't feel like knowing much more of the origins of this scene, and directions it is taking.
Oh, and yeah, hipsters everywhere.
Can I ask what’s the name of the club showed in the video ? 🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼
8:05 is that alex olson lol
the LA punk scene is still cracking
This what I remember how underground looked like
😄 Novelty moves west. Absolutely.
is there a real scenes London video up?
or maybe Seoul?
or Amsterdam?
or Melbourne?
defenately amsterdam and london, also brisben, barcelona and nijmegen!
Britt je. LolZ - i like the way you threw Nijmegen casually in there.. (you're not Dutch, eh ?~) ~ funny 'cause my Deutsch/ American homey has gotten mad into the techno- dance culture while a student up in Holland.. @michael.tepe - the Bay Area was where I discovered the underground music scene, after Chicago.. ,~]
1:20 where is that?
Don't get me wrong, LA is special to me in its role as a big part of my early 20's. However, most of the people in this video embody what I don't like about the city. So pretentious, so cliche, so lacking in substance and guts. I mean, if everyone stands for their own, unique thing, does anyone stand for anything?
i miss LA :(
Not great coverage of the scene to be honest.
If you want to start from the top to the bottom, Ticketmaster, golden voice, and insomniac are based out of here.
Stick ing strictly to EDM, insomniac owns three clubs, all of which pedal the most populist of a hard style, big room, dubstep whatever. Then you have sound nightclub, arguably the most influential nightclub this side of the Mississippi. A good place to have a conversation, but also take in the vibes something like a warehouse but with the polish that you would expect from Hollywood, even though the building is basically an alleyway.
Just two blocks over is Avalon, where you have four DJs, and the bar opens back up at 5:00 and it goes until 7:00 a.m.
in the arts district you have mix mag throwing free parties like twice a week. Generally these are short, and alcohol is often free because that's the whole point, to promote the liquor sponsor.
The fact that most clubs close at 2:00 a.m., means that there are plenty of underground Berlin style illegal warehouse parties, with all sorts of attractions from weird sex stuff to live art and yoga when the sunrises.
This is to say nothing of all the clubs that play top 40 in Hollywood, or the historic music venues all over the east side, from the Hollywood bowl in the Greek theater in the hills, to the Old Hollywood ballrooms in downtown featuring international music acts and all the venues that are championing independent music in silver lake or echo Park.
I don't even know why you would go to Venice Beach or Palm springs, they literally do not have music scenes, the best you can do in Venice is go to a bar with a DJ, the best you can do in Palm springs is go on a holiday weekend for a pool party with well-known DJ.
24:50 that's gotta be Trujillo rite? lol
is that Robert Trujillo of Metallica on 24:50 ?!?!
+Filippo Bordigato Yes it is. He was being interviewed on dublab about the Jaco Pastorius documentary he was involved with. dublab.com/stefan-biedermann-wguest-robert-trujillo-jaco-pastorius-special-interview-11-19-15/
23:35 TTT
Blimey, LA looks dreary!
