Slide Thru The Venue
Slide Thru is a music event venue & production studio in the Arts District of Downtown LA. We aim to be a staple in the emerging music scene and more importantly a pillar in the community. We have various sets for productions (video & photo) including a large Cyclorama Wall, Foil Room, Fuzz Room, Basketball Hoop, Nostalgia Wall, and even a mini-golf set! For events, we've curated a space that can cater to your vision including a performance stage, professional speakers, projector, TV monitor, green room, and custom lighting! At Slide Thru, we're most proud of creating a space that can bring people together where they can feel comfortable just “sliding thru” and leave with a bevy of memories.

Quick & Veli
The Slide Thru story is the culmination of many smaller yet impactful stories, I'll spare you all of them and give you a few. Veli and I began as dreamers without a concrete idea as to how we wanted to go about the goals of sharing our passions with the world & becoming financially free. We initially began with dreams of creating our own cognac, very quickly we learned that we didn't have anywhere near the capital needed to get that venture up and running. I (Quick) then deviated into a separate passion of mine - music. Knowing that I had no interest in crafting together rhymes and going through all that would come with being an artist, I always had the desire to assist in making others shine. This spawned the birth of Bemused by Expression Recordings (@bxe_records). Quick being the CEO, and Veli being our in-house videographer / graphic designer/jack of all trades' essential component to the company. We’d both always loved bringing people together as well as having things of our own. A lot of spaces we’d attend for shows and/or photo video studios we felt lacked soul and did not make you feel something upon entering/ during the time we occupied the space. Through hosting shows for BxE I knew that inevitably I'd need to have my own space because the rental fees for the majority of the venues in LA were out of budget and we also did not have the relationships necessary to make those rates a bit more affordable. Fast forward a few years later, Veli & I were able to put our coins together and create SlideThruTheVenue. The best venue & photo/ video studio in LA. We hope that when you “slide thru” you’re able to enjoy it as much as we do!
