This weekend, San Francisco’s Portola Music Festival will celebrate its fourth year of bringing some of the most exciting names within and surrounding the electronic music scene to Pier 80. This year, that includes LCD Soundsystem, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, and Underworld, as well as the next generation of icons such as Magdalena Bay, The Dare, and Confidence Man—and even newly resurfaced acts like The Rapture and Kreayshawn. 

Before the fest kicks off this Saturday, we once again had the event’s founder/curator Danny Bell stop by FLOOD FM to record a new episode of “Hacked” in order to get us excited about just a few of the performers taking the stage this weekend. Featuring Neal Francis, Bolis Pupul, Villager, a handful of the aforementioned lineup staples, and more, check out Bell’s picks every day through September 19 at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m., and 10 p.m. only on FLOOD FM.
