Something special is brewing in LA this weekend, and if you know, you know. On Saturday night, the city’s most buzzed-about underground event series, System Error Live, is taking over 1720 Warehouse once again, and this time, they’re bringing Shades to the stage. Yes, that Shades: the iconic duo of Eprom and Alix Perez. If you’ve ever caught a glimpse of their sound in the wild, you already understand why this show is a big deal. If not? Let’s just say this might be your only chance to witness their madness live for a while.
But System Error isn’t just about who’s on the lineup. It’s about the experience. The energy. The return to something real.
At a time when nightlife is getting shinier, pricier, and more polished by the day, System Error is proudly moving in the opposite direction. Their monthly parties at 1720 aren’t about all the glamour. They’re about that raw, sweaty, OG kind of rave that LA used to be known for. Think exposed beams, bass you can feel in your ribcage, and a dance floor that runs deep with people who actually came for the music, not just the photo ops.
It’s warehouse energy. It’s community. It’s a glitch in the system, in all the best ways.
System Error has been quietly (and now not-so-quietly) re-establishing the beating heart of LA’s underground scene. Each show is curated with intention, championing sound system culture, experimental bass, and artists who push boundaries instead of playing it safe. And this weekend’s show? It’s the crown jewel.
Shades is one of those projects that bass heads hope to one day see live. Eprom and Alix Perez are both legends in their own right. Eprom with his glitch-heavy chaos, and Alix with his moody take on drum & bass and beyond. Together, they create something otherworldly. Something dark, gritty, and something you can’t really explain unless you’ve felt it shake your spine on a warehouse dancefloor at 2 AM.
They don’t tour often. When they do, it’s iconic. That makes this System Error night a once-in-a-blue-moon moment for LA’s electronic scene, and a must-attend for anyone who claims to love forward-thinking music.
If you’ve never been to System Error before, prepare for the unexpected. The production is minimal but powerful. The vibes are pure. No egos. No clout. Just people who get it. And with Shades on the decks, you can expect deep cuts, unreleased heat, and a night you’ll never forget!
In a city as vast and chaotic as Los Angeles, it’s rare to find something that feels this real. System Error Live has cracked the code, reminding us why we fell in love with raving in the first place. Not for the lasers or headliners, but for the sweaty intimacy of a dark room vibrating with bass and possibility.
This weekend, that room is 1720. That vibration is Shades. And if you’re lucky enough to be there, you’ll feel it in your bones.
