HARD Selects

Launched in 2024 as an outgrowth of HARD’s tenure as an evolving multi-genre curational force in North America, HARD Selects aims to spotlight the diverse global underground music community while paying homage to and celebrating the Los Angeles scene’s DIY ethos, aesthetic, culture and selectors.

Los Angeles has long been an undervalued contributor to the fabric of the global underground culture, banished from the spotlight and forced into DIY spaces in the city’s forgotten underbellies. HARD Selects positions itself as a spotlight for this culturally rich network, embodying its passion to present authentic dancefloor experiences, pop-ups, and festival stages reflective of the sounds of the global landscape.
