LOS ANGELES NIGHTLIFE WEEKLY ‘GIANT’
RELOCATES TO VANGUARD IN HOLLYWOOD
DEBUT NIGHT SET FOR SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9
WITH LEE BURRIDGE
UPCOMING APPEARANCES AT GIANT @ VANGUARD INCLUDE
DFA WITH JAMES MURPHY (LCD SOUNDSYSTEM), SHARAM (DEEP DISH), ROGER SANCHEZ, DANNY HOWELLS, GABRIEL & DRESDEN, KASKADE AND MORE
After a successful four year run at Avalon, Hollywood’s most popular weekly dance club GIANT will pack up its turntables and dancing shoes with a bold move to a new home. The grand opening of GIANT at Vanguard situated at 6021 Hollywood Blvd–just a couple of blocks east of Hollywood’s most famous landmarks such as the Hollywood and Vine intersection and the Capitol Records building–will take place on Saturday, September 9. Lee Burridge will be the inaugural DJ for the new GIANT 21+ weekly residency, presented with Insomniac Events, producer of the Electric Daisy Carnival and Nocturnal Wonderland Festivals.
Future Saturdays at GIANT at Vanguard will boast DJ sets from special guests like DFA with James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Sharam (Deep Dish), Roger Sanchez, Gabriel & Dresden, Kaskade, Danny Howells and more. “I’ve been producing weekly DJ driven club nights for 18 years, starting with London in 1988, then New York, San Francisco and now Los Angeles with GIANT since 2000, “ states Dave Dean, Director of Giant. “It’s very important for a city’s dance scene to evolve. Vanguard, a slighter larger capacity venue, offers that opportunity with an incredible sound system, multiple dance rooms, the best outdoor club patio in Los Angeles and $10 valet parking. Additionally, putting the GIANT name on our ‘flagship’ Hollywood Saturday night promotion ties together our ongoing San Diego (Friday) and Newport Beach (Thursday) club nights as well as our annual festivals, the recently produced GIANT Village Summer Festival and the upcoming GIANT New Year’s Eve Indoor Celebration with Sasha, John Digweed and a few more.”
Once the thunderous Funktion One sound system at Vanguard is turned on, there's no mistaking this 21,000 square foot venue for a colossal mega-club, making it a perfect fit for GIANT. With a capacity of over 1600 people, GIANT revelers can dance the night away on the Vanguard’s a lavish cherry-wood dance floor and enjoy the large indoor balcony terrace overlooking the main room (for perfect privacy) and the spectacular Asian-inspired outdoor patio, complete with fountains and a giant Buddha (beneath a view of the Hollywood sign).
For over six years, GIANT has been a major dance music promoter in Southern California with events like GIANT VILLAGE NYE, GIANT VENUTRE and GIANT VILLAGE Summer In The City. Other upcoming GIANT events include Thursdays at Tentation Ultra Lounge in Newport Beach, Dubfire of Deep Dish at 4th & B in San Diego on September 1 and Jet at La Mirage in Las Vegas September 3, Paul Oakenfold in San Diego September 22, Ferry Corsten at the Queen Mary in Long Beach September 29, Armin Van Buuren in San Diego also on September 29 and Gabriel & Dresden in San Diego on October 6.
