Framework, one of the world’s leading independent purveyors of underground music experiences, will bring a tour-de-force of house and techno to Los Angeles this summer. The LA-based event production will continue showcasing expertly-curated lineups at various locations across the city, hosting headlining performances from celebrated selectors like Duke Dumont, Nora En Pure, Hot Since 82, Francis Mercier, and more.
Framework’s summer schedule kicked off last weekend with Framework Presents Solomun, which saw the underground kingpin, Solomun, perform a genre-spanning, six-hour set in Exposition Park. Framework backdropped the marathon performance with one of their most elaborate stage designs yet: a massive, custom-built replica power plant replete with detailed projection mapping, pyro, and Tesla coils shooting out lightning bolts.
Francis Mercier – 6/29
Later this month, Framework will bring Haitian house music DJ/producer Francis Mercier to LA’s Chinatown district for a special set at Gin Ling Way. Taking place on Saturday, June 29, Framework Presents Francis Mercier represents the next chapter in a close-knit relationship between Framework and the highly touted afro-house DJ.
Duke Dumont – 7/13
Next month, Framework will team up with Goldenvoice for Duke Dumont All Night Long (Warehouse Edition), which is already sold out. Taking place Saturday, July 13, the show will mark the debut live concert experience at the legendary Red Studios Hollywood, with Framework transforming the 100+ year-old treasure of cinematic history into a bonafide dancefloor for the very first time in the venue’s history. Located in the heart of Hollywood, Red Studios is one of one of Hollywood’s premier boutique studio spaces, and has remained the ideal location for filmmakers and producers dating back from the silent film era in the 1920s to the award-winning pictures of today.
Anjunadeep Open Air – 7/2
Closing out July with a bang, Framework will return to Exposition Park’s Expo Lawn West on Saturday, July 20 for Anjunadeep Open Air Los Angeles. Marking the first-ever collaboration between Framework and the Above & Beyond-imprint Anjunadeep, Anjunadeep Open Air Los Angeles will feature a stirring marathon of deep-house soundscapes headlined by San Francisco-bred producer Luttrell, with support from CRi (DJ Set), Nicky Elisabeth, Romain Garcia, and Qrion – all making their Framework-branded debuts.
Hot Since 82 – 8/10
Then on Saturday, August 10, Framework will return to Expo Lawn West for Knee Deep In Los Angeles, which will commemorate the long-standing collaboration between Framework and renowned UK DJ/producer Hot Since 82. Headlined by Hot Since 82 with support from PRUNK and Ky William, Knee Deep In Los Angeles will follow previous Framework x Hot Since 82 events at Pershing Square, Sound Nightclub, and West 5th Street.
Nora En Pure – 8/11
To wrap up its stacked summer of events, Framework will host deep house icon Nora En Pure and her Purified brand for Nora En Pure Presents Purified at Expo Lawn West. Taking place on Sunday, August 11, Nora En Pure Presents Purified will be Framework’s first official collaboration with the Purified brand (though Nora En Pure has played Framework’s Sound Nightclub a handful of times over the past several years). Concluding the summer with idyllic underground sounds, the event will be headlined by Nora En Pure with support from Justin Martin, Worakls, Jono Stephenson, and Tim Enso.
