As scheduled, CRSSD Festival has released its Spring 2017 roster and its possibly its best one to date.

As per previous formats, the San Diego waterfront festival continues with its mission to provide an eclectic experience with emphasis on more “underground” sounds of house and techno, as well as deeper strands of electronic music that aren’t found on other festival main stages.

Positioned at Waterfront Park in the city’s downtown area, CRSSD sold out both of 2016’s editions and with this lineup release looks set to repeat the feat for the third time in a row. Live acts this coming March 4th and 5th include Blood Orange, AlunaGeorge, Recondite, Bob Moses and Dusky making their live debut on the West Coast. Highlights in the house and techno realm include Dystopian boss RĂždhĂ„d, Innervisions’ Âme, Scotland’s ever-popular Jackmaster, crafty selector Midland, the wizardry genius of Damian Lazarus, CRSSD alum Skream, 2manydjs and an extended set by Seth Troxler b2b Eats Everything. On the more diverse side of the lineup, the Ocean View stage is set to feature Flume, Snakehips, Giraffage and Duke Dumont.

On top of its music programming and idyllic location, the 21+ festival has also become popular for its craft beer selection, top-tier local gourmet food options and impeccable mixology program.

Tickets will be available on December 27th at noon via CRSSD’s Official Website.

Duke Dumont Left Stage After Being Spat and Thrown Drinks At [Video]

Duke Dumont

This past Sunday, British producer and DJ Duke Dumont was subjected to abuse while playing a show at Union Hall in Edmonton, the capital of Canada’s Alberta province.

The artist, known for chart-topping singles such as “Need U (100%)”, “I Got U” and “Ocean Drive,” walked off stage after being spat on and getting drinks thrown at him by an unknown individual. He went on the system’s microphone to let his thoughts known to the crowd before ending his set early:

“If you’re brave enough come the fuck down, come the fuck down now. Whoever did that, come down the stage. If you’re man enough to spit, you’re man enough to come on up here.” 

Check out the video below which clearly shows Dumont’s reaction at that exact moment when he decided he had enough.

Duke Dumont has put out the big summer tune Ocean Drive as a teaser for the upcoming Blasé Boys Club, Pt. 1 EP set to be released via Virgin EMI on October 2. Ocean Drive is a slowed-down vocal disco house dreamscape that elicits feelings of 80s nostalgia, perfect for chasing the California sunset along the PCH. Duke Dumont dropped this massive tune during his set at the Sahara Tent at Coachella this year, kicking off festival season by setting the vibes straight with some groovy jams.

The UK producer is currently on tour and will be playing at Nocturnal Wonderland on September 6 and the Hollywood Palladium on October 9.

Stream Ocean Drive below or pre-order the EP on iTunes.
