Are you ready for a journey into the heart of music under the warm Southern California sun? How about immersing yourself in the pulsating beats of techno while the refreshing ocean breeze washes over you? Fortunately, there exists a place where these enchanting experiences come to life – the CRSSD Festival in San Diego.

The Talent

Organized by FNGRS CRSSD, this biannual extravaganza consistently delivers an exceptional lineup of electronic music icons against the backdrop of a picturesque seaside setting. While the festival itself was jampacked with talent, there were a handful of acts who I personally believe stole the show. These are Patrick Mason, Enrico Sangiuliano, Flume, & of course Chris Lake b2b Cloonee.

While these were my personal favorites, that is not to say the rest of the lineup was subpar — far from it. Chris Stussy brought the heat, as did the mother-to-be, Amelie Lens. Charlotte De Witte blew those in attendance away, and Fatboy Slim showed us all why he is a legend in the realm of electronic music. When speaking on legends, Basement Jaxx blew the lid off of CRSSD Fest, perfectly demonstrating what dance music is all about.

The Venue

The venue’s layout remains familiar to returning attendees, featuring three diverse stages that promise an unforgettable adventure. These are The Palms, City Steps, & Ocean View. At CRSSD Festival, attendees experienced a notable improvement in the bathroom facilities compared to previous years, highlighting a more pleasant experience. The festival boasts ample space for dancing and moving freely, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the event.

This year, festival-goers noticed that the fountains, usually a prominent feature, were turned off, perhaps to create a different ambiance or for conservation purposes. The venue is set against the backdrop of stunning ocean views, adding to the festival’s allure. Coupled with the nice, warm weather, this picturesque setting elevates the CRSSD Festival experience, providing a perfect environment for music, dance, and a memorable time by the ocean. If you’ve attended, you know what I’m talking about. if not, this is a festival that you must attend!

The Vibes

As was expected, San Diego’s Waterfront Park was alive and pulsating with an abundance of house and techno aficionados. You could say this made for a spectacular weekend. Personally, CRSSD Festival stands as my top pick, encompassing excellent food, impeccable production, electrifying music, and an unparalleled atmosphere. As stated before, if you’ve yet to attend, this is a festival that needs to be at the top of your bucket list.

The location, in sunny Southern California offers the perfect weekend getaway. The festival’s perfectly encapsulates just what the undergroudn sounds of house & techno are all about. Further, they give us a dashing taste of electronica, and even a sliver of mainstream acts. Trust me when I say that CRSSD Festival is the festival you’re missing in your life.

Apple Music Replay Drops Before Spotify Wrapped

acastro STK046 01 1024x683 1

Apple Music Replay is back for another year, offering users a retrospective of their musical journey. Launched in 2019, the feature underwent a significant update last year, aligning it more closely with the popular Spotify Wrapped. This year’s Replay, accessible through Apple Music’s webpage, provides a comprehensive summary of your most-listened-to songs, artists, albums, and more. To kickstart the musical reflection, Apple has released Replay just days before Spotify is anticipated to unveil its Wrapped stats.

A Web-Centric Experience

Unlike Spotify Wrapped, which boasts highly shareable charts, A.M.R.’s stats lack the same visual appeal for online sharing. Interestingly, these statistics are not directly integrated into the Apple Music app. However, users can still access their 2023 Replay playlist within the app. The Replay feature not only showcases a delightful highlight reel of favorite songs and artists but also includes a milestone tracker, measuring accomplishments such as reaching the milestone of listening to 1,000 songs.

Navigating Your Replay

To view your Replay for the year, simply head to replay.music.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID. The platform provides an in-depth breakdown of your listening habits throughout the year. With Spotify Wrapped set to launch in early December, Apple seems keen on giving Replay a head start, ensuring users get a chance to explore their musical journey before being engulfed by the impending Wrapped stats, widely shared on social media platforms,

This past October, Suwannee Hulaween celebrated its tenth anniversary with a slew of incredible star performers, stunning art installations, and moments of connection.

Once again returning to Spirt of Suwannee Music Park, Hulaween showcased its affinity for music of all genres with headliners like Pretty Lights, The String Cheese Incident, John Summit, Channel Tres, Elderbrook, Big Wild, Mt. Joy, and many more.

And while the festival typically keeps its art installations hidden until the day of the event, this year they teased ten new installations for the ten-year anniversary including a new 360-degree Spirit Lake, the Incendia art stage conceptualized by Cory Glenn, and a daily projection mapping spectacle by the esteemed Jasper & Shelby Mosher.

For those who couldn’t attend this landmark edition of Hulaween or regulars who miss the freedom of Spirit Lake, check out the Hulaween 2023 photo gallery below:
