Inside Praying and Live From Earth’s intoxicating, techno-infused LA rave

“I think the internet has created the need for people to come together physically to release tension, to be physical with other people and to let go of stress. That has created a general momentum for techno and I think in the US it is just starting which I personally love,” says DJ Gigola. “This was the first time we threw a party here together with our friends from Praying and the vibe turned out to be great. People showed up early, the club was full, the music and the visuals worked very well together and people were dancing from the very beginning.”

Of course, no clouted party would be complete without the appearance of legendary party photographer Mark Hunter, aka The Cobrasnake – see the action for yourself in the gallery above.
