Oops, Tigerheat did it again

8. Tigerheat
Hollywood's largest gay club also dealt with some venue issues, but no matter where it went, it was off the homo hook. The poptastic dance party's super-sized soirees for Britney Spears and Lady Gaga (at the Palladium no less) were flamboyant and freaky on the dance floor, and more than worthy of the divas honored. www.clubtigerheat.com

R.A.I.D. in the raw at Bootie LA

7. Bootie LA
Mash-ups may not be for everyone, but Bootie LA proved that a lot of people still like to bust moves to musical blends. Robyn and AC/DC, Deadmaus and Maroon 5, Steve Miller Band and Arcade Fire... you get the idea. The crowds here are always full of vim, and the madness gets topped off around midnight when R.A.I.D. (Random Acts of Irreverent Dance) take the stage for interpretive movement that's as sassy and scrambled as the music creators A+D and DJ Paul V. provide on the decks. www.bootiemashup.com/la

Crunkmasterflex

so how much did some of these promoters pay to have their shitty events included in this "Top 10" list?

Paul Vee

In the case of Bootie LA, zero dollars were paid to be listed here.It might have something to do with over 1,000 patrons showing up each month?

West Coast Sound

How'd the price treat ya?

How does, DubClub "Rhonda" "The Flyball" Afrofunke" Hang Together", Lil Death best up-and-comer. You should do a poll from physical promoters or people in the scenes that literally know what's up in terms of all of the real dope crackin parties in LA. They are far and few between, and there's many afterhours that have a big following like wotn & animal club that also get completely overlooked. I'm ashamed that this posting was obviously made based off "big names brought to small places" verses 'small places that have culture built around them".

We all have our faves for sure & we all have parties we are especially passionate about. I go out a lot & these were the ones that threw down. But I'm always open to learning about & discovering new scenes/parties. Send me info if you're involved and want me to check something out. Thanks for your input.

I ♥ Dub Club!! It would have definitely been in if I had a few more slots. Also Punky Reggae, Das Bunker, Mustache Mondays, A Club Called Rhonda, Underground and Control.
