Along with the line-up announcement comes this year's HARD
SUMMER trailer which pokes fun of all the drama that tends to
surround electronic musicians and DJs. Written and directed by
Agata Alexander, the story
follows Dillon Francis who
wants to become a "real musician" since HARD SUMMER is a
music festival….not a rave. His instrument of choice is the
spoons, and after splitting up Chromeo* and going solo, his
career blows up in a matter of days — along with his ego. The
trailer is star-packed with artists Dillon Francis, Porter
Robinson, Skrillex, Chromeo, Destructo and
Mija, and also includes a very special and intimate
spooning session between Dillon and Porter Robinson.
*Our sources tell us Dillon was never in Chromeo to begin
with and the band is still together.
