CRSSD Festival Continues to Crush

Property of Gotta Dance Dirty

We had the pleasure of heading down to San Diego recently for FNGRS CRSSD’s flagship festival, CRSSD Fest.  Their third go in roughly a years’ time, the party continues to grow and thrive.  Not only do they select arguably the best panel of house, techno and live acts, but the scene itself is truly something to witness.  Check out some highlights after the jump.

The weather couldn’t have been more ideal on Saturday, a great way to start the weekend.  A bright spot of the early afternoon was a DJ set from Poolside.  These guys know how to pump the funk-infused jams and get a crowd going — arguably one of the happiest crowds you could stumble into.  Another notable set for me was Damian Lazarus.  The desert favorite pumped the deep, dark house tunes and put on a super entrancing set.  Odezsa held things down to round out day one on the main stage.

Everyone awoke on Sunday to some pretty intense rain, and I almost thought they may have had to cancel the second half of the festival.  Lo and behold, the sun came out swinging an hour before doors opened, so the weekend was salvaged.  Dirtybirds J. Phlip and Ardalan had a sick B2B set on the Palms stage early followed up by Julio Bashmore — what a combo.  Gorgon City had a B2B with Kidnap Kid, and then went on to perform their live act, which is always a great time.  Claude VonStroke, Maceo Plex and Chet Faker were on headlining duties for the second day, and no one disappointed.

The production of this festival keeps getting tighter and tighter.  The craft beer, awesome food selection and gorgeous scenery are just bonuses at this point.  As long as the talent bookings remain on the cutting edge of the industry, I see no reason why CRSSD won’t become one of the kings of festivals.  We’ll see how long California can claim sole ownership of this crazy party.
