CRSSD Festival has announced its return to Waterfront Park in San Diego, March 5-6, 2022. At what will be the first spring edition of CRSSD since 2020, the beloved festival has once again delivered a diverse lineup highlighting the best in electronic music with a focus on house, techno, and eclectic live acts.
Insomniac‘s premier house and techno festival, Secret Project, is back for its second year with an equally impressive lineup to boot. Embracing the outdoor, day-time environment, Insomniac opted for more melodic and mellifluous sounds as compared to their annual Halloween massive, Escape, which is bringing the heavy-hitters who belong in darkness.
The most notable artists on this year’s Secret Project lineup are Four Tet, Modeselektor live, a solo set from Dixon and a back-to-back from Helena Hauff and Nina Kraviz. There are also some serious talents coming back for round two including Peggy Gou and DJ Tennis who will be hosting his own Life and Death Stage.
As the world celebrates International Womenâs Day today, we decided to honor some of the best techno producers and DJs in the game with a specially curated playlist of live sets and mixes.
Totaling over 50 hours of techno, our SoundCloud playlist includes music from some of the most prominent acts in todayâs underground electronic music scene, as well as up-and-coming talent you should be familiar with. You can listen to live sets by Rebekah, Dasha Rush, Charlotte de Witte, Helena Hauff, Nicole Moudaber, Michelle Sparks, Lindsey Herbert and more, as well as guest mixes by Annie Hall, Rrose, Hydrangea, Mary Velo, Anastasia Kristensen, Mirella Kroes, ANNA, Lady Starlight and plenty others.

Last year Ben UFO expressed his feelings on the importance of back-to-back sets, attempting to tackle the criticism some have thrown at promoters and DJs alike, with claims that b2b billings are a simple marketing gimmick to sell more tickets.
While there is no doubt that interesting back-to-back pairings do catch the attention of event-goers, the words of the highly thought-of British DJ had us looking back in time at some of the best back-to-back sets ever recorded. We have selected fifteen of our favorites that we think you should definitely give a listen to!
