While LA’s notorious HARD parties are known for bringing a wide range of eclectic sounds to the music festival circuit, the massive crowds that descended on this year’s two-day edition at Historic State Park clearly came for the big beats of headliners like Skrillex and Boys Noize.

With acts like A-Trak, Nero and Little Dragon among the weekend’s stand-outs, James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem fame), DatSik, Miike Snow and Bootsy Collins also delivered memorable sets.
