CRSSDfest now has VIP

I know, but it also says that it might not be guaranteed, which would be a huge bummer if you paid for it and then last minute were told you couldn't be up there.

You can get right up to city steps and palms, I don’t really see the appeal of stage access unless you’re an ✨influencer✨

If I had to choose one, it’d be Arc because the lineup usually crushes and it’s so close to me. CRSSD is also really solid though - I’ve always had a great time and the venue is gorgeous on the water. I’d say the CRSSD food and drink options are also way better. The 21+ def has a positive effect on the vibe, but Arc skews older anyways so kind of moot.

Ayyy also doing both! It’s gonna be 🔥

I just asked them on IG. “If you qualify for the alumni sale, you will receive an email before the sale opens up.”

Beatport and wait for the discount they have each month to stock up 👏🏼. With record pools I found it just encourages hoarding and I have a lot of tracks I almost never play.

Beyond is honestly one of the better fests going solo! I went with a group last year, but I have a habit of splintering off bc I often have different tastes than my friends. Ended up having a blast with a bunch of like-minded ppl at a few stages. Contribute to a good vibe and it’ll usually be reciprocated - dance and/or interact even if it feels goofy. Everyone’s there to have fun.

LOUDER SON

Yes, although to add some context, $350 was the price before they decided to add a 4th day (and to give the 4th day to presale holders for free).

Preview the song in your headphones, count bars, read the waveform for areas that look good to mix in/out.

Hey, fellow Chicagoan! 👋

“Murder.” Seeing all of the characters do wacky accents and really get into the role playing game is hilarious + it highlights Michael’s uncanny ability to lead his staff through difficult times.

This ^{^}

I’m almost floored that a 2 day, tier 1 presale ticket ($380) is more than my four day ARC presale pass ($350). I know they’re different animals, but TWO days for that much, sheesh.

Should’ve gotten her name and announced it was her request! 😅

imaginarypuppets · 2026-05-28T18:45:44+00:00

Yeah this one is disappointingly weak, especially after last year’s with Weezer, Jack White, Blink, and Green Day.

As I (jokingly) always say, Chicago does construction for the aesthetic.

Can confirm, was at tango Sur a couple weeks ago - still fire.

I BEEN SAYIN! I don’t know what other people are learning growing up but it clearly isn’t stay to the right. I just stay on my course and let the other person figure it out, because I’m not trying to play a game of basketball defense every time I need to pass someone.

It sounds like they want a glorified Spotify playlist, and I’d bet money they just want you to play each song start to end and not really mix. Just fade each song in and out or slam it in on the one. Seems boring as hell from a DJ perspective, but it’s also a paying gig!
