If not to firmly codify that Highland Park has become an artistic destination for L.A., then Mount Analog simply sets an impeccable standard when it comes to curating the best of electronic rarities on both sides of the Atlantic. Founded by a few hyper-connected individuals who can thread their knowledge through scenes as disparate as Brooklyn, Bristol and Berlin, this store might seem simply a gem for the crate-digging bunch, yet it’s much more than that.

Weekends see the transformation of the space into a live venue where some of the best local talents mix together with artists from abroad—whether that means New York or Europe—and create a distinctively private-party atmosphere. Now that doesn’t mean you’re not invited—simply check their live event calendar to figure where you’ll get switched-on to whichever nascent sounds are forging their way across clubs and audio monitors set gleefully “in-the-red.”
