Framework Expands Electronic Music Residency: Re:frame Season 2 Returns to LA
The independent event powerhouse Framework is set to transform the Los Angeles nightlife landscape once again. Following the massive success of its inaugural run, the promoter has officially unveiled “re:frame Season 2,” a significantly scaled-up winter residency. This upcoming chapter promises an immersive experience, spanning over 25 nights of high-octane electronic music hosted at the dedicated Reframe Studios in Atwater Village. The residency is scheduled to run from December 4, 2026, through February 27, 2027.
Building on a Proven Blueprint
The debut season of re:frame quickly cemented itself as a cornerstone of the LA dance scene. By prioritizing intimate, high-production environments, the series attracted over 30,000 fans during its initial six-week stint. The demand was palpable, with eight individual events reaching full capacity.
A standout moment from the first season was the lightning-fast sell-out of a surprise open-to-close set by John Summit, which vanished from ticket platforms in under five minutes. That debut run also served as a creative sandbox for Framework, allowing them to curate diverse programming ranging from the immersive CamelPhat Experience and The Martinez Brothers’ “Orbita” tour to a culturally rich Lunar New Year installation by Long Feng.
A Winter Calendar Packed with Global Talent
Framework is raising the stakes for the second iteration, curating a lineup that balances underground legends with mainstream heavyweights. The festivities commence with a high-energy double-header featuring ZHU on December 4 and 5.
The winter schedule is dense with marquee events, including:
* Anniversary Celebrations: A dedicated showcase for Black Book Records.
* Curated Label Takeovers: The return of the iconic Drumcode LA and the atmospheric Bedouin presents SAGA.
* Holiday Highlights: A special New Year’s Eve performance by Duke Dumont.
* Winter Headliners: January will feature a legendary appearance by Sasha & John Digweed, alongside a milestone birthday celebration set from deadmau5.
As the electronic music industry continues to see a surge in demand for “boutique” festival experiences-where production quality and venue intimacy often outweigh the sheer size of a stadium-Framework’s decision to double down on the Reframe Studios concept positions them perfectly to capture the evolving preferences of modern dance music enthusiasts.
