The coolest Saturday night hangout in Harbor City just got a major upgrade – featuring monthly DJ sets from a local 17-year-old Grammy Camp graduate who’s making waves in the community.
A New Kind of Saturday Night in Harbor City
While most teens in Harbor City and Torrance are looking for something fresh to do on Saturday nights, Skating Edge Ice Arena just dropped the perfect solution. Saturday Night Ice JAM isn’t your typical public skate – it’s where music meets ice in an electric atmosphere that’s redefining weekend fun for young adults and teens across the South Bay.
Starting September 13, every Saturday from 8:30-10:30 PM, the arena transforms into Harbor City’s hottest new weekend destination. Each week brings fresh energy with curated music and an electric atmosphere, plus special monthly DJ sets by rising local talent that take the experience to the next level.
Meet DJ K1: The Local Grammy Camp Graduate Bringing Monthly Magic
One of the most exciting additions to Ice JAM’s lineup is DJ K1 (Danny Ryan) – a 17-year-old Harbor City native who’ll be bringing his talents to special monthly DJ sets.
Danny’s story represents exactly what Ice JAM is all about: young talent, community spirit, and the power of music to bring people together.
This isn’t just any teenage DJ. Danny recently earned a spot at Grammy Camp, joining an elite group of young musicians selected for their exceptional potential. But what makes K1 truly special isn’t just his technical skills – it’s his mission to give back through music.
The Free DJ Project: Music with a Mission
Beyond the turntables at Ice JAM, Danny founded The Free DJ Project, where he DJs events completely free for people who’ve overcome challenges and deserve to celebrate. From weddings after loss to milestone birthdays during tough times, K1 believes every comeback deserves a soundtrack.
“I started The Free DJ Project to bring music to people who’ve been through something big… and still choose joy,” explains K1. “Because every comeback deserves a soundtrack.”
This philosophy of uplifting others through music is exactly what he brings to his monthly Ice JAM sets – creating those special nights where Harbor City’s young adults and teens can celebrate, connect, and feel the power of community on ice.
More Than Just Skating: It’s Harbor City’s New Social Hub
Ice JAM represents a complete rebrand of the traditional Saturday night skate experience. Every week brings fresh energy, and when DJ K1 takes the decks for his monthly sets, the atmosphere becomes truly electric. You’ll find:
- Live DJ sets featuring K1’s expertly curated playlists
- Monthly themed events from glow parties to bring-a-friend promotions
- Interactive programming that gets everyone involved
- Great food and refreshments to fuel your night
- An all-ages atmosphere perfect for teens, young adults, and anyone ready to skate to the beat
At $15 admission ($3 skate rental), it’s an affordable way to turn your Saturday night into an unforgettable experience.
Perfect for Harbor City’s Young Adult Scene
Saturday night activities for teens and young adults in the Harbor City and Torrance area just got a major upgrade. While other venues might close early or cater to different age groups, Ice JAM is designed specifically for the 13-25 crowd looking for something unique.
Whether you’re planning a group hangout, celebrating a birthday, or just want to try something new with your crew, Ice JAM offers the perfect blend of active fun and social connection. It’s the kind of place where new friendships form over shared playlists and everyone leaves with stories to tell.
Supporting Local Talent, Building Community
By featuring DJ K1, Ice JAM isn’t just providing entertainment – it’s investing in local talent and showing Harbor City teens that their creative ambitions matter. K1’s journey from local teen to Grammy Camp participant to community-focused DJ proves that big dreams can start in your own backyard.
This commitment to community extends beyond the music. Ice JAM is where Harbor City’s young adults can connect across school lines, make new friends, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
