There have been over sixteen editions of CRSSD Festival thus far, with the goal of fostering a connection between the best and brightest of clubland, all in a picturesque setting that Southern California has to offer. The announcement of their Fall 2023 edition further solidifies their ability to curate wide-reaching and diverse lineups.
The festival’s Ocean View stage welcomes British live electronic pioneers Underworld, whose seminal productions have soundtracked the world over since the early 90s, going on to inspire many generations of artists in their wake. They are joined by Grammy-awarded Australian export Flume, who drove the future-bass sound to global popularity and continues to be one of modern dance music’s most celebrated performers. Ocean View curation continues with fellow pioneer Fatboy Slim, Anjunadeep’s Ben Böhmer (live), piano-house icon LP Giobbi, R&B crossover producer SG Lewis, and chart-toppers Elderbrook and Eliza Rose. The avant-garde remains in full view with Norway’s Röyksopp and Dutch torchbearers Weval.
The Palms continues its legacy this Fall as a destination for upbeat sonics and an open-to-close party atmosphere. The stage is led by Basement Jaxx (DJ Set), another British production powerhouse whose seminal tracks like ‘Where’s Your Head At’ and ‘Romeo’ remain some of the most anthemic productions of all time. Overmono will bring their trend-defining broken beat sound to the fold, while the pinnacle of modern tech house flavors are showcased by fan favorites FISHER and Chris Lake b2b Cloonee. Attention shifts back to the international underground circuit with standouts like the emotive Grammy-nominee Jayda G, ‘Baddest of Them All’ dominator Interplanetary Criminal, TSHA, and an outrageous B3B from Etienne de Crecy, DJ Falcon, and Boombass.
Techno fans of all creeds will tell you that City Steps remains one of North America’s most consistent showcases of storied 4/4 producers and leftfield wildcards. The genre’s biggest stars have gathered for the Fall 2023 edition, a roster complete with Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, and FJAAK (DJ Set). The dark corners of European club culture are brought to the light with sounds from the quick on her feet experimental producer HAAi, a special back-to-back from the always innovative Objekt and Call Super, and American high-voltage export Nikki Nair. Will Clarke and DJ Minx join forces with a multi-generational techno affair.
Serving up a truly curated experience, CRSSD Fest extends beyond the music as festival-goers can immerse themselves in immersive décor & stage designs, handpicked food vendors, and interactive programming through its CRSSD Lab music-tech lounge and vinyl market.
CRSSD is a 21+ festival with the general on-sale scheduled for Wednesday, June 21 at 2PM PT. For more information and to get your tickets for CRSSD Festival, visit https://www.crssdfest.com.
