Six Women to Celebrate at CRSSD Festival Spring 2026

HoneyLuv

Few DJs have risen through the ranks as quickly as HoneyLuv. After being in the military, the Cleveland-born, Los Angeles-based selector built a reputation for high-energy house sets that mix classic grooves with modern club hits. She’s released originals on labels like Insomniac and Casablanca Records, gaining support from major players such as MK, Aluna, and Dennis Ferrer. Her sets are equal parts soulful and electrifying. The kind that turns a sunny Waterfront Park afternoon into a full-on dancefloor moment.

Clara Cuvé

Berlin-based DJ and producer Clara Cuvé brings an unapologetically adrenaline-fueled approach to the decks. Her musical foundation began with classical piano training at just four-years-old. That early connection to music eventually led her to start building a record collection and step behind the decks as a DJ. Known for her genre-defying sets that bring together hard techno, acid, and breakbeats, Cuvé has become a favorite among fans who like their dancefloors intense and unpredictable. Expect a set that pushes CRSSD Festival’s tempo into thrilling heights.

Ida Engberg

Swedish DJ and producer Ida Engberg has become a force in techno, known for her driving, sweat-drenched sets and sharp instinct for deep house. After starting to DJ at just 14, she worked her way from Stockholm’s underground clubs to international stages, eventually joining Adam Beyer’s influential Drumcode roster and releasing chart-topping tracks and remixes. With a reputation for powerful, blazing performances, Engberg continues to provide infectious dancefloor experiences around the world.

Jolene Cruz

A rising artist from San Diego, Jolene Cruz, is making her debut appearance at CRSSD this spring. She creates the full, layered feel of a live band using only her voice, guitar, and piano. Blending pop, blues, and jazz influences, the Filipino artist performs familiar songs from beloved artists while reshaping them with her own distinctive style. Fans can expect live loops and all the feels at Cruz’s first festival set.

La Roux

Instagram | SoundCloud

While many know La Roux for the iconic synth-pop hit “Bulletproof,” Elly Jackson’s project has continued evolving far beyond its late-2000s breakthrough. With a catalog that blends new-wave, funk, and electronic pop influences, La Roux’s live performances bring a vibrant, nostalgic energy that still feels fresh. Their appearance at CRSSD offers a welcome crossover moment between indie-electronic pop and the festival’s club-roots sound.

Zoe Gitter

Instagram | SoundCloud

After signing as a DJ at just 18 years old, Zoe Gritter quickly developed an international presence, performing at events and for brands including NYFW, Yves Saint Laurent, Art Basel, and SXSW, among others. In 2023, Gitter launched her own party series, GAG at the Sunset @ Edition in Los Angeles, alongside fellow DJ Alex Chapman. The event quickly gained momentum, attracting high-profile headliners and guests like Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, and Tinashe. As a longtime fixture of New York, Los Angeles, and Europe’s nightlife, Gitter brings a refined edge to the lineup. Perfect for CRSSD fans looking to venture beyond the obvious sounds.
