Time Warp has thrown parties for three decades, and it has never done Los Angeles. That changes over Thanksgiving weekend. The German techno institution lands at Ace\*Mission Studios on Friday, Nov. 27 and Saturday, Nov. 28, and the official site lists exactly who plays which floor.
The basics: Ace\*Mission Studios, 516 S. Mission Rd. in Boyle Heights. Hours are 2 PM to 2 AM both days, and it's 21+. The official ticket page sells two-day passes, single-day passes for Friday or Saturday (general admission or Stage Access), and parking passes. Insomniac says this is the first electronic music event ever held in the Ace Warehouses, a part of the property that had never been used for events.
The floors are Cave 2.0 (Floor 1), Circular (Floor 2) and Arcs (Floor 3). Acts are listed alphabetically, not by set time, and set times weren't posted when we checked on Nov. 10.
Friday, Nov. 27: the groove night
Cave 2.0: Ahmed Spins · Colored Craig · DESIREE · Gerd Janson b2b Julya Karma · Loco Dice · The Martinez Brothers
Circular: Cloudy · fun2bjane · Funk Tribu · ØTTA · ONYVAA
Arcs: HAAi · Helena Hauff b2b Juliana Huxtable · INVT · Quest b2b Ryan Elliott · Tiga
If you came for house, Friday's Cave 2.0 is the room. Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers share it with Ahmed Spins, DESIREE and LA mainstay Colored Craig. It also hosts the night's wildcard: Gerd Janson b2b Julya Karma, which Insomniac bills as the pairing's world debut.
Over on Arcs, Tiga and HAAi share the bill with Quest b2b Ryan Elliott and INVT, and Helena Hauff b2b Juliana Huxtable fills the slot Insomniac's original announcement listed as "TBA b2b Juliana Huxtable."
Saturday, Nov. 28: the heavyweights
Cave 2.0: Ben Klock · Chlär · D.Dan b2b Freddy K · ØNYX · Richie Hawtin · Rødhåd
Circular: Dennis Ferrer b2b Skream · East End Dubs · Heidi Lawden b2b Masha Mar · Luuk Van Dijk · SOSA
Arcs: Blawan b2b Elli Acula · John Bryars · Novah · southstar · SPFDJ b2b TOCCORORO
Saturday splits cleanly. Cave 2.0 is pure techno muscle, with Richie Hawtin, Ben Klock and Rødhåd under one roof. Circular is the house heads' floor, and it's stacked. Dennis Ferrer b2b Skream is billed by Insomniac as a pairing of frequent collaborators, and it's the set we'd circle first. East End Dubs, Luuk Van Dijk and SOSA keep the groove going, and Heidi Lawden b2b Masha Mar puts LA's own underground on the same floor.
Arcs goes fast and hard, with Blawan b2b Elli Acula making its U.S. debut, according to Insomniac.
Why it matters for house fans
Time Warp is a techno brand, but this bill gives house a real home on both nights: Cave 2.0 on Friday and Circular on Saturday. Several of these artists are on our charts. In ID Library's Nov. 9 Beatport snapshot:
- Pretty Girl by Luuk Van Dijk & Sierra Volt was No. 14 on the House Top 100 · Buy on Beatport
- SILK SCARF (Chris Lake Remix) by Tiga, Chris Lake & Fcukers was No. 21 on the Tech House Top 100 · Buy on Beatport
- Pleasure From The Bass (Rooléh Extended Remix) by Tiga was No. 22 on the House Top 100 · Buy on Beatport
And if you want a preview of Saturday's best b2b, Dennis Ferrer and Skream already have a record together: Old Yella · Listen on Apple Music

It's also a big two weeks for the brand in the U.S.: Insomniac's announcement for Time Warp New York City puts that edition on Nov. 20–21 in Brooklyn, with LA following the next weekend.
Our take (opinion)
Friday is the safer bet if you want house all night. Saturday has the bigger names, but with Hawtin, Klock and Rødhåd in one room and Ferrer b2b Skream in another, the set-time drop will decide a lot of plans. Ferrer b2b Skream is our must-see.
