Thermal: Maurer, Dylan Fogarty and More in Downtown LA

Thermal lands in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, October 24, with a seven-act bill built around techno, hard techno and hard groove. Maurer and Dylan Fogarty lead the lineup, with JAQ.XS, heelbite316, S.I.M, BEEBA and MAREA filling out a night that runs from 11 PM to 5 AM.

When: Saturday, October 24, 11 PM to 5 AM Where: Downtown LA, venue to be announced Price: Free with RSVP before midnight, otherwise $11.10 to $44.45 Tickets: Resident Advisor

What to expect

The listing tags the night as techno, hard techno and hard groove, so expect a floor built on driving kicks and rolling, percussive grooves rather than a slow warm-up. Seven names across six hours gives the night room to shift. Early sets usually sit in the groovier end of the range, and the pace tends to climb toward the peak hours after midnight.

Maurer and Dylan Fogarty are the two names at the top of the bill. JAQ.XS, heelbite316, S.I.M, BEEBA and MAREA round it out, which makes this a good pick if you like hearing a full run of local and touring selectors in one night instead of a single headliner. For anyone tracking raves in Los Angeles this fall, a long-format techno night like this is the kind of thing worth planning around.

Price and RSVP

The pricing on the listing is split. The free tier comes with an RSVP before midnight, and the paid range runs from $11.10 to $44.45, which usually means tiered tickets that rise as the night gets closer. If you want the free entry, RSVP early on Resident Advisor and arrive before the cutoff. Check the event page for which tier is still open when you go, since tier availability can change.

Venue and getting there

The venue is listed only as TBA, with the area given as downtown Los Angeles. Resident Advisor often reveals the exact address to ticket holders or RSVPs closer to the date, so confirm the location on the event page before you head out. We have no street address to print yet, and we would rather say so than guess.

Plan your ride in advance. Downtown streets get busy on a Saturday night, and with a 5 AM finish, a rideshare or a ride home you arranged ahead of time beats hunting for parking at closing. Bring ID, since club nights in the city are commonly 21+, and check the listing for the age policy.

Make a weekend of it
