On February 10th and 11th, it is the always epic carnival specials with Priku, Indira Paganotto, Aretha, Prunk, Sasha and East End Dubs all line-up. 

Blending music, art, fashion, education, and design, the all new CCD Cultural Center has two dance floors on two different levels and four levels in all. It is a premium urban space, designed for innovation and culture, in the port area of the city that is open to artistic and strategic cooperation, where the communication of new ideas will facilitate the development and transformation of new products and services for the city.

D-EDGE is located on the third floor and with a capacity for 800 people with a weekly program that dynamically explores different musical styles. The design was taken care of by Muti Randolph, a longtime partner of Renato Ratier since the conception of D-EDGE Campo Grande. He is the visual artist responsible for the LED project of the nightclub in São Paulo. The venue's sound system was developed by Nelson Stanisci for KW Audio and brings together the most modern technology currently available, reaching an incredible 147 decibels of maximum sound pressure. Its differentiator is the four-way Line Array system, with subwoofers with an 18-inch speaker, mid-bass with a 12-inch speaker, midrange with 8-inch speakers, and highs with 3-inch drivers. This system is manufactured in Italy by the renowned B&C Speakers.

The CCD goes far beyond music, embracing education, art, street culture, inclusion, and diversity to profoundly impact the nightlife and culture of the capital of Rio de Janeiro. It will host exhibitions, lectures, product launches, and panels on topics such as inclusion and sustainability and is housed in a building first constructed in the early 20th century to serve as a merchant's warehouse in the port area. Inaugurated alongside the Porto Dock and its warehouses, the site was used for the disembarkation of slaves from 1779.

Conceived by DJ, producer, and creative economy entrepreneur Renato Ratier, founder and owner of the D-EDGE brand, and with architectural design by Suzana Margem de Almeida, the CCD blends music, art, fashion, design, and gastronomy on five floors — each representing a different space.

Since its inception in 2015, CRSSD Festival has created a unique enclave for the global electronic music community in San Diego. Fostered to connect the best and brightest of clubland in a setting that personifies the sun-soaked aesthetic of Southern California, the event is a pillar of the international festival calendar. Today, CRSSD announces another genre-spanning lineup for its Spring 2024 edition, returning to its home of Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego on March 2-3.

CRSSD takes over the lush, centrally-located, bayside Waterfront Park by day. Its after party series CRSSD After Dark encompass clubs, venues, and converted spaces throughout the city. Its thoughtful curation makes it the ultimate destination festival for anyone passionate about dance music. CRSSD's Spring 2024 lineup is characteristically diverse, blending different genres and eras of electronic music.

The Ocean View stage features the Italian melodic duo Tale Of Us, who have proven to be not only musically compelling but also hold a deft mastery of visual artistry. They are joined by South Africa's pride and joy Black Coffee and the genre-fluid live act WhoMadeWho. Also taking the stage at Ocean View are eclectic live duo Red Axes, Austrian trip-hop pioneers Kruder & Dorfmeister, hip-hop and soul influenced producer SANGO, and globally renowned Swedish electronic band Little Dragon.

The Palms stage, CRSSD’s haven for house music and non-stop party atmosphere, is led by revered house legend Armand Van Helden and Brazilian house music virtuoso Mochakk, whose viral social media fame is only matched by his unparalleled stage presence. Also on the bill are Astra Club, the sought-after duo who consistently deliver an unexpected range from the avant-garde to energetic underground heat and Innervisions founder Dixon. British UK garage hero Sammy Virji takes to the stage, as well as minimal tech mastermind East End Dubs, Beatport's best-selling Minimal/Deep Tech artist of all time Toman, and Sofia Kourtesis, fresh off of her highly praised debut album Madres.

On the City Steps stage, techno reigns supreme, showcasing storied figures and rising wildcards anchored by French stalwart TRYM, the leader of a new generation of harder-edged artists playfully riding the line between warehouse-rattling techno and sweat-soaked hard dance. Elsewhere on the lineup is one of the architects of dance music culture, Richie Hawtin, alongside fellow storied electronic producer Jeff Mills. The lineup’s depth continues with the universally beloved Joris Voorn and a blistering B2B session from Héctor Oaks and Tiga.

The curated CRSSD experience extends beyond the music, treating attendees to handpicked food vendors, immersive decor and stage designs, and interactive programming through its CRSSD Lab music-tech lounge and vinyl market. It's the quintessential electronic music journey in one of the West Coast's most beautiful urban centers.

The general on-sale begins 1/12 at 12PM PST via CRSSD’s official website. Fans can text “SPRING24” to (855) 912-1457 for presale access. CRSSD is a 21+ festival.

"Past. Present. Future. That is the context under which the Reverie was conceived. Google defines reverie as “a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.” The idea was to make an intentional daydream about how an event like Summer Camp can still bring all the fun and excitement of a festival, but also invite us to use the power of that joy in an intentional way to impact the world. We want to tell the story of how Summer Camp came about, where we are now, and where we believe this dream can take us. The lineup is curated to help tell that story with nods to the godfathers of our scene, the current hottest artists in the genres we represent, and some of the tastiest up-and-comers that will lead us into the future.”  - Ian Goldberg, Founder of Solshine: A Music & Arts Reverie & Summer Camp Music Festival
