Firme Fangs & Freaks at El Cid

Firme is back at El Cid with Fangs & Freaks, a costume-friendly night built around two sounds that rarely share a room: perreo and latin club on one side, darkwave and EBM on the other. Anthny Gbriel and Killed BY Synth are the names on the bill. If you want a version of EDM in Los Angeles that leans moody and bilingual, this is it.

When: Saturday, October 24, 2026, 9:30 PM to 2:00 AM Where: El Cid, Los Angeles Price: $12 via DICE

What to expect

The poster is all green halftone and a mouth full of fangs, so the theme is not subtle. The listing tags the night as latin club, perreo, darkwave and EBM. In practice that suggests a dance floor that can jump from reggaeton-rooted grooves to cold synth bass and industrial pulse without anyone complaining. Treat it as a pre-Halloween warm-up, and dress for it if the mood strikes.

Anthny Gbriel and Killed BY Synth are billed together, and the details of who plays when aren't published on the event page. Doors are listed at 9:30 PM, and the night runs late into Sunday morning, so there's room to arrive after dinner and still catch plenty of music.

Tickets and planning

Tickets are $12 on DICE, which is on the low end for a Saturday night out. DICE is ticketed through its app, so have your phone charged and the ticket loaded before you head to the door. Prices can rise as the date gets closer, and the page is the only place to confirm what's still available.

Plan your ride ahead, since the night ends after 2 AM. Rideshare is the easy option on a late Saturday. Check the venue's own channels for age limits and dress code before you go, because the listing doesn't spell them out.

Part of a bigger weekend

If you're building a plan around LA events this weekend, this night fits neatly as a late stop. It's one of the more distinctive picks for raves in Los Angeles this month precisely because the sound mix is unusual. Browse more EDM events or see what else is happening in Silver Lake.
