Rumors LA | Putting Chinatown on the LA Party Map
by Nate Rynaski
Rumors LA is a seminal party—it really put the now iconic Gin Ling Way in Chinatown on the map as a LA party venue. It's one of the hottest tickets every Spring in LA, really kicking off the party season post-Coachella. It also spawned the legendary DJ Harvey Live at Rumors album at the start of the pandemic.
This year Rumors celebrated its 5th anniversary.
Rumors emerged as a clandestine beach party in Ibiza before becoming a global touchpoint for cutting-edge underground house music held in far-flung locales. Rumors has traveled from cliff-top locales in Ibiza to Mayan cenotes in Mexico, courtyards in old London town and destinations like Coachella and Art Basel, evolving into a one-of-a-kind party that could only have been conceived by the contrarian imagination of Guy Gerber.
Rumors LA was presented by the innovative, LA-based production company Future Primitive. Future Primitive is renowned for pioneering unique outdoor event spaces for underground dance music throughout the city and their world-class production.
