When you first think of the underground music scene in Los Angeles, not many put the contemporaneous sounds from its LGBTQ+ independent artists at the forefront – which says a lot. In an attempt to change that mindset and reintroduce the feeling of being a free spirit in a safe space that passes the vibe check on the dance floor, SOS Music are making it their mission to heighten LA’s club culture by spreading the sounds of queerness and equality. With the world of entertainment running through the veins of LA, SOS Music are proud to be a part of the night club scene that has helped shape the careers of many minorities.

Founded in 2020, the independent dance label, which stands for ‘Sisters of Sound’, has catered to the female and non binary community for almost two years. From hosting a monthly residency on Worldwide FM highlighting their own music to touring around the US, the collective is on a mission to highlight night dance culture in Los Angeles. Their project, SOS MUSIC VOL 2, is a ‘cutting edge experience that champions female and non-binary producers worldwide’, the seven-track compilation offers an exhilarating experience for anyone looking to escape the normality of dance music.

In their guide, they share with us their favourite spots in LA, and showcases to us the diverse range of food you can find in the breathtakingly big city, from Caribbean spots to farmer's markets.
