REGGAETONL­ANDIA

PARTY PROMOTERS

-

Reggaeton music may have roots in the tropics, but it has inspired the hottest party in downtown L.A.: ReggaetonL­andia. Hosted by Dominican MC Rickstarr and mixed by Ecuadorian Colombian DJ 2Deep — a recent sign to Steve Aoki's label Dim Mak En Fuego — this club night has become a destinatio­n for scenesters looking to break a sweat to the latest Bad Bunny hits and energizing fusions of Latin trap, dembow and house. ReggaetonL­andia is also the name of the collective, which aims to put on its own festival one day. “Our goal is to create a unique space within the event industry by genre-bending EDM and reggaeton,” says creative director Leslie Fuentes. Recent guests include Jhay Cortez and De La Ghetto; the buzzy D.R. rapper Tokischa headlined at the Novo in late October.
