The second week of January is where resolutions go to die quietly. The gym is still crowded with strangers, your coat has not properly dried since New Year's, and nothing in this city has felt like an actual event since the thirty-first.
Which is why a warehouse by the river throwing a birthday show for the most famously unimpressed man in dance music reads like a small mercy. Joel Zimmerman has spent two decades being openly irritated by the genre that made him rich, and then going out and playing it better than most of the people who are sincere about it. The helmet is a bit. The programming never has been.
Electronics Place is a real street in an industrial pocket off the LA River, and the long walk in from wherever you ended up parking is part of the whole thing.
Ten o'clock, Saturday the 9th of January. 4594 Electronics Place, Frogtown.
