Noise In The Woods Vol. II: Halloween House and Techno

Exxbarz is bringing the party back to "The Woods" with Noise In The Woods Vol. II, a Halloween-season house and techno night on Friday, October 16. The flyer plays it as a horror movie set: bare trees, dripping red lettering and the Hollywood sign hovering in the fog. If you are mapping out LA events this weekend, this is the one aimed at people who want to dance in costume.

When: Friday, October 16, 2026, 8 PM to 2 AM Where: 1533 N La Brea Ave, Los Angeles (Hollywood) Genres: House, tech house, techno

What to expect

Seven sets are listed, two of them back-to-back pairings. Adam V. plays B2B with Darknite and Bosu plays B2B with Bayxi, with solo sets from Collage, EZ Beets, Kimmay, Taey and Vivian. The genre tags are house, tech house and techno, so expect a night that runs from groovy four-on-the-floor to something darker and harder as the hours go on.

A costume contest is part of the billing, which fits the October timing. If you want in on it, come dressed for the theme rather than in a generic party outfit. Spooky, silly and elaborate are all fair game.

The setting

This is a smaller, DIY-style gathering rather than a big club night, and that is a big part of the appeal. For anyone who follows raves in Los Angeles beyond the large festival circuit, nights like this are where a lot of the local scene lives: promoters, DJs and friends building something from the ground up. Vol. II suggests the first edition went well enough to run it back.

Practical info

Tickets and RSVPs run through the event's Partiful page. The price is not listed in the source material, so check the page for the current status before you head out, and do not assume the night is free. Partiful events often have limited capacity and a guest list, so respond early if you plan to go.

The address is on La Brea just north of Sunset, close to plenty of Hollywood parking and rideshare options. Street parking nearby can be tight on a Friday night, so a rideshare or a lift with friends is the easier call, especially if you plan to stay until the 2 AM finish.
