Hear CRSSD Fall 2024 Sets From Idris Elba, Kerala Dust, Tinlicker & More
CRSSD started closing out the 2024 festival season when it brought the event’s fall edition back to its longtime home at Bayfront Park in San Diego on Sept. 28-29.
Now in its ninth year, the lineup for this autumnal iteration of CRSSD included Disclosure, Gesaffelstein, Blond:ish, Four Tet, Boris Brejcha, Skream and many others. Produced by FNGRS CRSSD, the event has been a mainstay on the Southern California dance festival circuit since its launch in 2015 and is attended by roughly 15,000 fans per day.
Whether you where there or simply wish you were there, open up your ears to four hours of exclusive music from the festival from Idris Elba, Kerala Dust, Tinlicker and Confidence Man.
Idris Elba
The DJ/producer/actor/noted good-looking person played 75 minutes of driving house, tech house, Afrobeat and more, with key selections including his take on Inner City’s 1998 classic “Good Life,” an extended mix of Mau P’s essential “Gimme Dat Bounce,” The Bucketheads’ ever-ravey 1995 hit “The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)” and of course, his own 2023 Solardo collab “Big Talk,” an extended edit of which ends the set.
Kerala Dust
The London-based foursome played a jammy and frequently psychedelic set that leaned heavy into live instrumentation, with the performance’s frequent guitar solos and a generally mystic mood bringing desert ambience to the waterfront fest.
Tinlicker
The Dutch duo wove progressive house and melodic techno into grandly cinematic soundscapes, with the set going to an especially hypnotic place at its climax. If you were there, you were likely dancing with your eyes closed and maybe tearing up a little.
Confidence Man
The Australian foursome are simply just A+ party starters, whipping up a breezy, blissful set heavy on energy and big singalong moments. The group — Grace Stephenson and Aidan Moore along with producers Lewis Stephenson and Sam Hales — packed a lot of heat into a tight 45 minute set, building to a euphoric place and giving classic ’90s U.K. rave vibes throughout.
