About time! Come out this Saturday and support the Movin Board stalwarts (movin-ent.com is a community board dedicated to House Music in LA). + resident DJ and House Music pusher Atomic Mike, who continues, against all odds to bring the beautiful 'Ouse Music to the loft @ Circus (which is why I continue to support him). Should be fun + these wonderful DJs, in my opinion, are too under-exposed in LA. So come out and support...It's definitely FREE before 11 if you RSVP RIGHT HERE and very possibly free up to midnight even. (i'll keep you posted). I was supposed to play myself too, but I have another engagement in OC, although I will try to drive back down in time to catch some of the fellas on the deck. If I do, watch out for the shots of Patron!!! MOVIN @ The Loft (Circus) w/ in Alphabetical Order ATOMIC MIKE ARMEN DAVE PARKER JAY BLAIR The Loft @ Circus 6655 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood, CA 21+ 9:00-4:00AM

Bumpin on da dance floor

Yoooo!!! The grand opening of WERKIT last month was a DOOZEY!! Thanks to all who came and made is so much fun! This month promises to be even better with English superstar DJ/Producer DA SUNLOUNGE[Myna, Bambino - UK] + Atomic Mike & the crazy Werkit residents. FREE BEFORE 11:00PM if ya RSVP HERE It's supposed to be $15.00 after 11:00PM (we keep working on exceptions etc...) so....RSVP dammit!!

Those are very good recommendations but I would also add, for this Saturday 8/18, The Sound Republic playing at WERKIT, in the upstairs lounge of Circus. Can't beat the Sound Republic in terms of Chicago house, and it's free if you RSVP and show up before 11:00. For more info, go to housesaladla.com

Werkit returns on a new night (Saturday!) @ a new venue (the Loft @ Circus, one of LA’s superclubs!!) The crews of Hawt, Sidecar and Housesaladla have come together to proudly bring back WERKIT, with the intended goal of bringing you the most cutting edge talent in HOUSE MUSIC. The grand opening is a doozey with internationally known, chicago based super star poducer/dj team of: THE SOUND REPUBLIC [spatula City - Lust4house- Guesthouse; Chicago] & local favorites JOESHUA & CHEWY (MAUF, la) + residents THE HAWT CREW DAVE PARKER FREE BEFORE 11:00PM if you RSVP HERE; $15.00 after 11:00PM

Well on one night of the month, WERKIT will be going in the upstairs House room. Our grand opening is on August 18 with none other then superstar DJs THE SOUND REPUBLIC . Check out my other thread on this. I went to the RED grand opening. The place was nicely packed but not uncomfortable. I think this may have been a good move precisely because of the vibe. I for one am looking forward to running Werkit on the same night as RED. Should good vibes all around. imad housesaladla.com The GOOD life

Here's the actual flyer...which contains an actual view from the rooftop from the last party we threw there...

All good things must come to an end. There ain't no better way to complete THE GOOD LIFE's 4 year run but to throw a summertime Sunday Daytime party @ the rooftop of The Pasadena Museum of California Art. This is one of the sickest venues I had ever seen in LA, with a beautiful view of majestic downtown Pasadena. At sunset, the experience is spectacular, being up there with friends, drinks in hand and intoxicating house music all around. This is the same spot where, 2 years ago, our brothers at The Blend joined us to throw a memorable party called Good Day LA with Lance Desardi as a headliner. RSVP HERE!! for FREE entry before 4:00PM and $5.00 after. Otherwise, $10.00 at the door. It's going to be one major headliner and a bunch of locals. The line-up is not complete just yet, but I think you'll like what we have so far (See below). Oh, and our party is being presented to the public by the PMCA as being a part of their Musical Program. Their music director wanted to showcase LA's HOUSE MUSIC SCENE!! pretty cool, huh?

We welcome all the party people back from the Winter Music Conference in South Beach with a very special edition of The Good Life. This is our quarterly residents & friends edition, but it's also a B-day Bash for resident MIKE MAGAñA Originally on the bill was our very good friend and HOME resident/originator DJ AMANDA J. Unfortunately, she was involved in a harrowing car wreck last month which caused serious injuries. She is now recovering and in good spirits. She will be replaced behind the decks by her partner at HOME, DJ JOEL MARTINEZ. Rounding up the stellar local line-up, are two HAWT guys, DJ EDDIE B.and Miguel Migs, I mean, THE IANATOR , and of course, the ever grooving resident DJ HOWE LIN. Although the residents & friends night is usually free, we encourage donations up to $5.00 to help fundraising for Amanda J. who unfortunately did not have health insurance at the time of the accident. All proceeds for the night will go towards alleviating Amanda's burden. You can RSVP RIGHT HERE for $5.00 donation. Thank you. The info, as usual, is in the flyer below!
