Surface DIY Haunted Halloween: Techno Night in LA

Surface DIY Haunted Halloween is a seven-hour Halloween party built around progressive house, tech house and techno. It lands on Thursday, October 29, two nights before the holiday weekend proper, which makes it a good pick if you want to dress up and dance without fighting Saturday crowds. For anyone tracking EDM in Los Angeles this month, it is one more late-night option on a very full calendar.

When: Thursday, October 29, 2026, 10:00 PM until 5:00 AM Where: Venue TBA, Los Angeles Price: $11.2 on Resident Advisor Genres: Progressive house, tech house, techno

What to expect

The listing tags the night with three genres, and they sit close together on the dance floor: the long builds of progressive house, the groove of tech house and the harder drive of techno. That usually means a set of long, evolving blends rather than a fast run of peak-time drops. The "DIY" in the name suggests a self-run, community-style party rather than a big commercial production, but the listing does not say more than that, so treat it as a hint and not a promise.

The listing does not name a lineup or a venue yet. Resident Advisor is the place to watch for both. The location of a party like this is often released closer to the date, so check the ticket page before you plan your ride.

Plan your night

The window runs from 10 PM to 5 AM, so this is a real all-nighter. Because it falls on a Thursday, think about work the next day, and about getting home safely at dawn. Rideshare is the easiest option once the venue is announced, and it is worth settling your plan before you go. Bring ID, a charged phone and comfortable shoes.

Costumes are the obvious move for a Halloween party, though the listing does not state a dress code, so confirm on the ticket page. Tickets start at $11.2, which is an easy price for a full night of music. Prices on ticketing platforms can climb as the date approaches, so buying early is the safer bet.
