Now in its seventh year of existence, the Hard Summer festival once again grabbed Los Angeles’ State Historic Park by its cojones over the weekend. Featuring a roster of artists from across the electronic spectrum, the music was spread across four stages and two days, and performed for some 70,000 people. Somewhere between a high school rave and a state fair that you really wouldn’t want to bring your parents to, there were many things in abundance. Among them: syncopated hi-hats, undergarments disguised as clothing, and young people absolutely on one. Or two.
Eats Everything & Justin Martin get trapped in an elevator
This past weekend, Los Angeles got hard with the annual HARD Summer music festival taking over downtown Los Angeles. Featuring artists like Tommy Trash, Dog Bloog, Duck Sauce, Empire of the Sun, Justice, Knife Party and more, it was a festival experience that people will remember for a lifetime.
On Saturday and Sunday, Los Angeles’ top dance music venue, Exchange LA, played home to the HARD Summer after party. Saturday was a night open to the public with HARD artists such as Bones, DESTRUCTO, ETC! ETC!, and Corey Enemy taking the stage to a packed crowd.
Sunday, HARD Summer teamed up with the X Games to combine their official closing parties presented by Red Bull. Featuring artists from the show, athletes from all the different sports showcased at the X Games this weekend, and a group of lucky fans, Exchange LA was rocking till the break of dawn this morning, with their brand new fully in your face production.
Last night though, 2 DJs experienced something that most people never have to experience in their lifetime. Eats Everything and Justin Martin were 2 of the special guest DJs for last nights closing party, preparing to do a special back-to-back set. But their plans were temporarily halted.
On their way to the venue, leaving the hotel, Eats Everything and Justin Martin got trapped in the elevator they were riding. With a total of 16 people in the elevator, emergency services had to be contacted to help escort everyone out of the elevator one-by-one.
When arriving at the venue, Eats Everything and Justin Martin insisted on taking the stairs and not traveling in the Exchange LA elevator. Even though they experienced something completely insane, they still got on the stage and performed an incredible set together.
