Desert Gold Weekends @ Ace Hotel & Swim Club

Our righteous ritual beneath the mountain returns for a double weekender of holy chaos, sunbathed sound and glorious poolside parties from April 13-23. This year Desert Gold invites in a days-long list of legends and surprise stars to fill our cups with ethereal infinity. Every event is free and all are welcome, though space is limited and we abide by first come, first served.

LINK UP

LINK UP, founded by Andre Power, is more than just a popular event series. First debuting in 2021, as lock-down restrictions lifted, Link Up quickly shot to popularity. It was one of the first events in LA, around this time, to give DJ’s the opportunity to once again perform in-front of a real audience. The reason Link Up is primarily an outdoor day event is a direct reflection of the post COVID era and Andre’s desire to create a safe space, filled with light, energy and of course, music. Link Up’s DJ curation is very intentional in mixing talented up-and-comers with world renowned, established DJ’s.
