Shelter 2 Year Anniversary: Amoral, Mari Sakurai

Shelter is celebrating its second anniversary with an overnight techno party in downtown Los Angeles, and the bill is Amoral and Mari Sakurai. Doors run from 11:59 PM on Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, which is the kind of night that earns a spot among the raves in Los Angeles worth planning a weekend around.

When: Saturday, December 12, 2026, 11:59 PM to 6:00 AM Where: TBA, listed as DTLA / Los Angeles Price: $25 on Resident Advisor Genre: Techno

The lineup

Two acts are named on the listing: Amoral and Mari Sakurai. Both listings tag the night as techno, but neither Resident Advisor nor 19hz publishes set times or a bio for either act, so there is no way to say who plays first or how the six hours are divided. With a start time of 11:59 PM and a finish at 6 AM, arriving in the first couple of hours is the safest way to catch everyone.

An anniversary party usually draws the regulars who have followed the series since its first night. The listing gives no details about past editions or any special programming, so treat it as a standard Shelter night with a birthday attached.

Where is it?

The venue is not announced. The source lists it only as TBA in DTLA, and it is common for underground techno nights to hold the address until closer to the date. The ticket page on Resident Advisor is the place to watch for it. If the address is posted, expect it to come through the ticket platform rather than a public flyer.

Practical info

Tickets are $25 through Resident Advisor, and the organizer is listed as Shelter.La. For anyone building out a month of EDM in Los Angeles, this is a mid-December date, so there is time to sort out a plan.

• Use a rideshare or a sober driver. Closing time is 6 AM and downtown streets are quiet by then.
• Carry ID and a charged phone, since entry and ticket details usually live on the ticket platform.
• Bring earplugs. A long night of techno through a club system is loud.
• Check the Resident Advisor page for the final address before you leave home.
