This year, about 60 vendors, from high-end restaurants to food trucks, will be on site in Golden Gate Park Aug. 9-11 to feed the throngs of hungry revelers. We caught up with Ari Feingold, curator of the food experience at the festival, to find out the behind-the-scenes details of putting on the event.

    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday.

Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
