Nightshift After Hours at The Lexington, Oct 23

Nightshift After Hours lands at The Lexington in downtown Los Angeles on Friday, October 23. The music starts at 11 PM and runs until 5 AM Saturday, and the listing tags it with tech house and minimal. It is one of the more reliable LA events this weekend for anyone who wants to keep dancing well past normal last call.

When: Friday, October 23, 2026, 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM Where: The Lexington, 129 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 Price: Free with RSVP before 1, otherwise $23 Tickets: Resident Advisor

What to expect

The two genre tags say a lot. Tech house is built on tight, groove-first drums and rolling basslines that keep a floor moving. Minimal strips the sound back further, with long builds and small details that pay off over a full night. Put together, expect a patient, hypnotic evening and not a string of big-room drops. A six-hour window means you can arrive late, leave early or stay for the whole stretch.

The listing we worked from did not name a lineup or a set schedule, so check the Resident Advisor page for who is playing. We would rather say that plainly than guess at names.

Price and RSVP

The price line reads "free w/rsvp b4 1 / $23." In plain terms, RSVP through the event page before 1 AM and you get in free. After that cutoff, plan on $23. If you would rather skip the guesswork, RSVP before you head out. Terms can change, so confirm on the event page.

Getting there

The Lexington sits on East 3rd Street, on the edge of Little Tokyo in downtown. It is an easy trip for anyone already out in DTLA, and the Metro A and E lines stop nearby at Little Tokyo/Arts District. Late-night rail service thins out, so sort out your ride home before the night gets away from you. Rideshare is the safer bet after 3 AM.

Friday crowds at a session like this tend to mix regulars who come for the music with people drifting over from earlier plans. If you are hunting for raves in Los Angeles that are less about spectacle and more about a steady, focused floor, this one fits. Browse more nights on our EDM page or see what else is on in downtown.
