What is the Adrian’s kickback trend on TikTok? The viral phrase started with a TikTok video invitation to a May 22, 2021, birthday party — called “Adrian’s kickback” — which appears to promise quite a good time on a California beach. There is also a song by Adrian Hour, an Argentinian DJ and music producer, called “Kickback,” for which the party was named, according to Deadline.
The party materialized in Huntington Beach as promised, but it led to police declaring a curfew and unlawful assembly. “Unlawful assembly has been declared in #HuntingtonBeach due to unruly crowds. An emergency curfew has been put into place effective 5/22 at 11:30pm through 5/23 at 5:30am for all individuals within the downtown area,” police wrote on their Twitter page.
Some people criticized police response to Adrian’s Kickback.
You can watch the video of the song later in this post, but the video party invitation has been set to private.
The recent beach party furor stems from a video that was posted on May 19, 2021, by the TikTok page adrian.lopez517, Adrian Lopez. The caption said, “pop out n celebrate my bday‼️‼️‼️ #partynextdoor #turnitup #SpotlightAPI #beach #projectx #function.”
According to EnStarz, the “Kickback” song is “a song featuring funk music from the DJ acknowledgments. The song released in February 2017 by Toolroom Publishing was licensed to Kontor New Media Musicm, Concord Music Publisjong, and CMMRA.” The site added, “Producer Adrian Hour and Argentinian DJ released Kickback on SNOE.”

“We are actively monitoring multiple social media posts advertising a large gathering on the beach this weekend. The safety & well-being of our residents, visitors, businesses & motorists is paramount, which is why the Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) … is taking significant steps to prepare for the potential influx of visitors, including working closely with our regional public safety partners. Toward that end, the HBPD will also be strictly enforcing all applicable laws & ordinances throughout the weekend.” the department tweeted Friday.
The Song ‘Kickback’ Was Released in 2017
The “Kickback” song artist is Adrian Hour. You can see his website here. His bio reads, in part:
When talking about South American electronic music artists, there is one that leads the pack: his name is Adrian Hour, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Having been producing music from an early age, Adrian is now taking the world stage by storm with a run of stand-out releases on some of the world’s leading underground labels. From the Ibiza Terrace anthem of ‘That’s It’ on Knee Deep in Sound, to the forward-thinking melodic offering of ‘Love Something’ on Toolroom, Adrian’s music creates a whirlwind of hype and hysteria. It’s no surprise that his music is the mainstay in playlists by some of the most prestigious artists on the scene including Carl Cox, Hot Since 82, Richie Hawtin, Solomun, Mark Knight, Dubfire, Nic Fanciulli, Joris Voorn, Paco Osuna, Sasha, Adam Beyer, Kolsch and many more…
A caption on a YouTube video of the song describes the piece as “nothing short of a groove monster,” and “a skillfully crafted track building up to a massive momentum exploding in the power of drums and synths, mixing a euphoric atmosphere with the darkness of the clubs, all ready to set the dance floors on fire.”
