Freq Nasty - LowRIDERz - GRiZ @ Cervantes

What a good feeling it is to make it to Sunday after a weekend stacked with epic dub shows. For many it comes as a day of reflection and relaxation. Last Friday I had the chance to get dirty with Freq Nasty, LowRIDERz (Feat. An-ten-nae and DJ Laura), Griz, & Project Aspect at the Acid Crunk Vol. 4 Release Party. Anyone of the 700+ people who were lucky enough to make it out to this might have to agree that it was absolutely out of control with ACID CRUNK AWESOMENESS! From the moment I walked into the ballroom the energy of the crowd soared leading me to the speedy assumption that these fans were well prepared for some BASS IN THE FACE. On Halloween I observed upcoming DJ Grant GRiZ melt the faces and hearts of his Denver fans on the same stage. This show was no different! For such a young DJ he seems exceptionally comfortable on stage. Friday’s showcase only intensified my excitement for his performance this NYE in my home state of TEXAS at Lights All Night! Announced just in the last week, he will be playing the groove stage with fellow acts Big Gigantic and Paper Diamond. But enough about Griz… the stars of this night were undoubtedly the dynamite dub duo LowRIDERz who got the crowd raging right from the get go & the Fiji native FreQ Nasty. & from here words just won’t do. ENJOY!

Electronic Tuesday w/ Dayquill & Tech-ill @ Cervantes Other Side

Sometimes I think people forget how much effort it takes to really pull an amazing weekly event like Electronic Tuesdays together. Months of planning and booking go into a weekly showcase of Denver's Dope-st DJ's at Cervantes Other Side every Tuesday and boy do the locals love it! Last Tuesday I had the chance to catch some great vibes from Blake Weise aka, Dayquill, who has been mixing since the young age of 15, As well as, a fellow Texas native Coleman Tekell aka, Tech-ill. I hope for the sake of aspiring musical artist that events like these that showcase a "Battle of the Bands" style of performance competition continue. It is because of events like this those artists that start with one hundred fans end up with a thousand. ENJOY!
