Awen (Hybrid Set) at The Spotlight Hollywood

Awen is booked for a hybrid set at The Spotlight on Friday, December 11, and the listing points to a night of tech house and afro house. It is a straightforward club night with one name on the poster, which makes it an easy pick if you want a late Friday in Hollywood built around groove rather than a festival-sized lineup. If you are scanning for EDM in Los Angeles this winter, this one lands right at the start of the holiday party season.

When: Friday, December 11, 2026, 10 PM to 3 AM Where: The Spotlight, 1601 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: $25 on DICE Age: 21+

What to expect

The genres tagged for this show are tech house and afro house, two styles that sit comfortably together on a dance floor. Tech house brings the rolling, percussive low end. Afro house layers in warmer rhythms and a looser, more hypnotic feel. A hybrid set generally means the artist blends live elements with DJ selections rather than just mixing records, though the listing does not spell out the setup, so treat that as a loose description and not a promise of specific gear.

The Spotlight is a compact room on Cahuenga Boulevard, so a single-headliner night like this tends to feel close and focused rather than sprawling. Awen is the only act named on the page. No support acts or set times have been announced, so check the DICE page closer to the date.

Tickets and practical info

Tickets are $25 through DICE, and the venue notes that a limited number may be available at the door, though door tickets are not guaranteed and depend on capacity. The safer move is to buy ahead. This is a 21+ night, and The Spotlight publishes a dress code, so read it before you head out. Table reservations are handled by the venue by email, which is worth knowing if you are planning for a group.

Hollywood on a Friday night means busy streets, so give yourself extra time for parking or a rideshare drop-off. Cahuenga Boulevard fills up quickly after dark, and getting a ride home after a 3 AM close is easier than hunting for a spot. Anyone building a list of things to do in Los Angeles this December can slot this in as the late-night option.

Around the neighborhood

The venue sits in the middle of Hollywood, within a short walk of several bars and late-night food options if you want a bite before doors. For more nights like this, browse the EDM events page, or read more about The Spotlight before you go.
