SELVA at High Tide: Latin, Hip-Hop & R&B Night

SELVA is a Friday night built around the music people actually dance to at a Los Angeles party: Latin, hip-hop, R&B and an open format that lets the DJ follow the room. It lands at High Tide on November 6, and it is free through DICE, which makes it an easy pick if you are sorting through LA events this weekend and want a late night that does not start with a cover charge.

When: Friday, November 6, 2026, 10 PM to 2 AM Where: High Tide, 605 E 4th St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 Price: Free (reserve through DICE) Music: Aaron Castle

What to expect

The flyer is a retro, record-sleeve design with a toucan in the middle of a tropical jungle, and the name does the same work: selva is Spanish for jungle. High Tide leans into that look year-round with its flamingo-and-palm paint jobs, so the theme fits the room.

The flyer credits Aaron Castle with the music. The four genre tags (Latin, hip-hop, R&B and open format) suggest a set that moves between reggaeton and club staples, 2000s hip-hop and slow-jam R&B without sticking to one lane. Nothing in the listing promises a headliner beyond that, so treat it as a DJ-led dance night rather than a concert.

For anyone searching for raves in Los Angeles, this is not that: it is a looser, singalong kind of night. For a broader sweep of EDM in Los Angeles, the club calendar around downtown is worth a look too, and High Tide itself hosts a lot of it.

Getting there

High Tide sits on East 4th Street where Little Tokyo meets the Arts District. The Metro Little Tokyo / Arts District Station is about a five-minute walk, which is the easiest way in on a Friday night. Street parking nearby is workable, and most meters go free after 6 PM, but rideshare saves the hunt. The venue admits guests 21 and older only, with a government-issued photo ID, so bring it.

Free tickets on DICE can run out, and a free listing does not guarantee entry once the room is full, so claim yours early and arrive soon after 10 PM. Check the High Tide venue page for house rules and more shows, and browse the downtown LA neighborhood page for more to do nearby.

If you are building a list of things to do in Los Angeles this month, a free Friday with a good DJ and a tropical room is one of the simpler ones to say yes to.
