Daft Disko New Years Eve at The Moroccan Lounge

New Year's Eve in Los Angeles comes with a lot of expensive options, and plenty of them involve a countdown you can barely see over a crowd. Daft Disko takes a different route. The party lands at The Moroccan Lounge on December 31, 2026, with a night built around funky house, French house and disco, the three styles that sit closest to the filtered, sample-heavy sound the title nods to. For anyone tracking EDM in Los Angeles this winter, it is a small-room alternative to the big holiday warehouse shows.

When: December 31, 2026, starting at 9:00 PM Where: The Moroccan Lounge, 901 E 1st St, Los Angeles Tickets: $19.25 to $25.67 through Eventbrite Presented by: Orlove

What to expect

French house and disco share a lot of DNA: looped disco samples, sliding filters, bass lines that bounce, and hooks that repeat until the whole room is singing them. Funky house adds a little more swing on top. A night in this lane tends to be about dancing and singing along rather than staring at the booth, which suits a holiday when most people just want to move and celebrate.

The listing does not name a lineup, so treat this as a party-first night. Check the Eventbrite page for the latest on performers and set times before you go. If the earlier Daft Disko Halloween night at the same venue is any guide, expect a crowd that dresses up and arrives ready to dance.

About the venue

The Moroccan Lounge sits on East 1st Street at the edge of downtown, close to Little Tokyo and the Arts District. It is an intimate room, so a sold-out night feels packed in the best way. That also means tickets can go quickly on a holiday, and the price listed here may move as a release tier sells through.

Planning your night

Because this is one of the more affordable things to do in Los Angeles on December 31, it is worth buying ahead rather than counting on the door. Rideshare is the easiest way in and out around midnight, and the Metro A Line stops in Little Tokyo for anyone who wants to start the evening downtown. Plan your ride home before the countdown, since surge pricing after midnight is common.

Doors and the exact finish are set by the venue, so confirm them on the ticket page. The window above runs from the 9:00 PM start through the end of the night, and the party is meant to carry you straight into 2027.
