With the LA wildfires taking place a year ago this week, it felt fitting to enlist one of the many artists who lost their homes in the tragic January 2025 blaze to kick off FLOOD FM’s “Hacked” series this year. Having recorded an episode of the series back in 2023, Poolside’s Jeffrey Paradise returns this week to spin tunes after bouncing back from the harrowing disaster of last year, which he recounted for us at the time with a focus on how the local music community and his fans helped him pull his life back together.
In addition to jamming some favorite tunes by LEISURE, Thunder Jackson, and Hudson Scott, Paradise opens the episode with his own collaboration with Satin Jackets from our newly released Gimme Shelter fire relief benefit comp along with some more tunes from the project. You can order a copy of the LP here, and tune into FLOOD FM all week (January 5 – 9) at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m., and 10 p.m. PT to hear Poolside’s takeover.
