Blksmiith: Drum and Bass at El Cid, Silver Lake

Blksmiith brings a night of fast, heavy bass music to El Cid in Silver Lake this January. The DJ set is billed by the promoter Minty Boi, and the listed styles are drum and bass, jungle and breakcore. If you follow EDM in Los Angeles beyond the big festival stages, this is the kind of room-sized show that rewards showing up early.

When: Thursday, January 21, 2027, 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM Where: El Cid, 4212 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029 Price: From $27 on DICE Presented by: Minty Boi

What to expect

The three genres on the listing sit close together. Drum and bass and jungle share the breakbeat backbone and the heavy low end, while breakcore pushes the same idea toward chopped, frantic drum edits. A set that mixes all three tends to move quickly, so expect tempo shifts and a dance floor that stays busy. The set is billed as a DJ set rather than a live performance, so the night is built around selection and mixing.

El Cid is a Sunset Boulevard venue with a long history as a place for music and performance in Silver Lake. The event page names the room and the address, but it does not list a lineup beyond the headliner, so check DICE for supporting acts or schedule updates closer to the date.

Planning your night

Tickets start at $27 and are sold through DICE, so buy there rather than waiting for the door. DICE tickets live in the app, which makes entry simple. The window runs from 10 PM until 2 AM, a standard late-night block for a Thursday show, which means a long evening for anyone with work the next morning.

Sunset Boulevard parking in this stretch can be tight, and a rideshare drop-off saves circling the block. If you are building a week of plans, this fits among the things to do in Los Angeles in January for anyone who wants bass-heavy music in a smaller room. Silver Lake also has plenty of food within walking distance for a bite before the doors, so plan an early dinner nearby.
