Academy LA

Formerly Create (and before that Vanguard), this space from Insomniac (creators of the rave-tastic Wonderland and Electronic Daisy Carnival festivals) books both emerging DJ talent and high-profile EDM artists. The three-room, 20,000 square foot space features an epic soundsystem and Hollywood’s largest LED wall. Those looking to downshift and desensitize can find respite on a tree-lined patio illuminated by simple strands of party lights. Though this major production of a club may not seem like the type to forgo bottle service at private tables for a general admission and open dancefloor format, versatility is found in different club nights, making it not only a great place to pop bottles in booths, but a bonafide space to sweat it out to EDM festival trance and house headliners.
