HARD’s creator, Destructo just finished Volume 2 of his I Love Techno mix series and is giving it away for free to the masses. Just in time cause its packed to the gills with Hard Summer artists. I cant wait for August 8th, gets me so hype listening to it. Let me give you a little background on this Los Angeles electronic music pioneer, yea, this dude was doing it first and his list of accomplishments is pretty impressive. Its no wonder he is at the top of the game in dance music right now, if its hot, Gary Richards is behind it.

Destructo (Gary Richards) began DJing and producing undergrounds in the early 90s in Los Angeles, most notably creating RaveAmerica at Knotts Berry Farm. Rick Rubin subsequently handpicked Gary for A&R in electronic music at Def American Recordings, launching a noteworthy career for Lords of Acid, Messiah, David Holmes, Basement Jaxx, Dub Pistols, God Lives Underwater and founding 1500 Records and Nitrus Records. After carrying his success to the metal world with No Name Mgmt, Destructo returned to his roots in 2007 by creating HARD. Events such as the HARD Haunted Mansion have become synonymous with cutting edge electronic music and unforgettable experiences, where the talent rosters reflect Destructo’s own impeccable DJ sets.
