CRSSD Festival, which has been running for sixteen years, has been successful in developing its very own special enclave for the local and international electronic music communities right in its own backyard.
The event, which was established with the intention of bringing together the most talented people in the clubbing industry with a location that embodies the ease and comfort of Southern California, continues to be an important fixture on the calendar of international festivals.

Underworld, pioneers of live electronic music from the United Kingdom, will perform on the Ocean View stage of the festival. Their groundbreaking productions have been heard all over the world since the early 1990s, and they have gone on to influence many generations of musicians in their wake. They will be accompanied by Flume, an Australian musician who has won a Grammy and is considered to be one of the most acclaimed performers in modern dance music. Flume is credited with bringing the future-bass sound to a global audience. Ocean View’s curation of artists continues with fellow pioneer Fatboy Slim, Anjunadeep’s Ben Bohmer (live), piano-house icon LP Giobbi, R&B crossover producer SG Lewis, and chart-topping artists Elderbrook and Eliza Rose. The Norwegian band Royksopp and the Dutch torchbearers Weval are keeping the avant-garde scene alive and well.
This Fall, The Palms will continue its legacy as a place for energetic sounds and a party environment that is open into the early morning hours. The stage is being led by another British production powerhouse known as Basement Jaxx (DJ Set). Some of their iconic compositions, such as “Where’s Your Head At” and “Romeo,” are still considered to be among the most inspirational creations of all time. Fan favorites FISHER and Chris Lake b2b Cloonee will demonstrate the apex of modern tech house flavors, while Overmono will bring their sound, which has helped define the broken beat movement, to the fold. The focus now goes back to the international underground scene, which features notable acts such as the emotionally charged Jayda G, the ‘Baddest of Them All’ dominator Interplanetary Criminal, TSHA, and an astonishing B3B performance by Etienne de Crecy, DJ Falcon, and Boombass.
From house to techno at CRSSD Festival
City Steps continues to be one of the most constant showcases of legendary 4/4 producers and leftfield wildcards in North America, according to aficionados of techno of all stripes, who will tell you that the event. Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, and FJAAK (DJ Set), three of the genre’s most prominent figures, are among the performers scheduled to appear on the roster for the Fall 2023 edition. Sounds from the experimental producer HAAi, who is quick on her feet, a special back-to-back from the always innovative Objekt and Call Super, and the American high-voltage export Nikki Nair bring the shadowy corners of European club culture into the light. Will Clarke and DJ Minx have collaborated to create a multi-generational electronic dance music event.
The carefully planned CRSSD experience includes not just the music but also specially selected food vendors, immersive stage designs and decor, and interactive programming offered by the music-tech lounge and vinyl market that make up the CRSSD Lab. It is the electronic music experience par excellence, and it takes place in one of the most stunning urban areas on the West Coast.
On Wednesday, June 21, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, the official website of CRSSD will begin selling tickets to the general public.
The programming for CRSSD After Dark will be announced very shortly.
