Bears in Space
Akbar, Silver Lake · since 2009

Victor Rodriguez and Chris Bowen are the duo behind one of Los Angeles' most enduring queer institutions, throwing their genre-defying party out of Silver Lake's Akbar since 2009. Their sound draws on cosmic disco, deep house, and dancefloor-ready obscurities, built for a crowd that spans every shape, color, size and CATEGORY. The pair have shared the booth with legends like DJ Harvey, Optimo, and Discodromo. Bears in Space isn't just a party, it's a lineage, and Victor and Chris are bringing that history straight to the CATEGORY dancefloor.
