Posting this nearly a month late because it’s taken that long to recover. HARD Haunted Mansion, Los Angeles’ premier Halloween (don’t-call-it-a) rave found yours truly crawling through the catacombs of the historic Shrine Auditorium with photographer Erik Voake on a quest for some truly exclusive content for SPIN. Diametrically opposed to the common sense of all involved, we were allowed into the artists’ dressing rooms to witness pre- and post-game rituals, most of which involved copious amounts of booze (duh). The article appears as a photo gallery on SPIN.com, so here it is indexed for easy access:

• Skrillex // Rusko // Fatboy Slim
• Major Lazer // Soulwax // Skream + Benga
• 12th Planet // Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
• Switch // Zed’s Dead // L-Vis 1990
• The Gaslamp Killer // Riff Raff // Destructo
