Hard Summer Sunday: Brodinski, Gesaffelstein, Dillon Francis, and Dirtybird highlight superlative closing day
Hordes of Los Angelenos returned for the second and final day of HARD Summer 2013 -- ready for another twelve hours of frolicking in cool tents, woodchipped stage grounds, and dusty lawns areas of the Los Angeles State Historic Park. For diehard fans of Ed Banger Records and Dirtybird, the two labels owned their own stages on Sunday (on the Summer Stage and Underground Tent, respectively). Bromance fiends got sets from both Brodinski and Gessafelstein, and those prone towards the "HARDer" sounds soaked in the grinding basslines of Flosstradamus, Dillon Francis, Baauer, and Clockwork.

Dancing Astronaut and Wavefront present Axis, Episode 064: Mixed by Bambi
After a day spent barbecuing and celebrating in backyards across the US, the morning after July 4th is always one defined by bad sunburns and worse hangovers. Thankfully the beautiful Eva Shaw, better known as Bambi, lends her talents to our 64th edition of Axis. Just like kicking the dog that bit you, Bambi's mix doesn't try to nurse you back to normalcy. Instead she kicks you out of bed, puts a beer in your hand and reminds you that the holiday weekend has just begun - so quit being so soft. Don't let her looks deceive you, the talented DJ works through 16 of big room and electro's most unrelenting tracks from her own bootleg of Blasterjaxx & Billy the Kit's "Loud & Proud" to Flosstradamus & DJ Slink's "Crown Ctrl." Press play to shake off the mid-morning haze and hop past the break to see the Bambi's full tracklist.
