They say the freaks come out at night. And if that's true, they'll definitely be out on Halloween. Obviously, with Denver being a major hub for underground dance music in the region, we always have plenty of action for bass fiends to exercise their demons with. In particular, this year, the legendary Krafty Kuts' choice of Denver as one of his only two US dates for the occasion gives our creatures of the night something sapid to gorge on. With this in mind, we owe a debt of gratitude to Sounds of Bass and AK Productions for conjuring up a spine-tingling lineup, crawling with the monsters of D ..read more

Having to accept reality is the hardest thing a bout growing up. From the moment we're born, as kids, we just do whatever makes us happy. Unfortunately, as we get older, we quickly realize we can't just live a life with a "fuck it" attitude. With that in mind, fantasies of becoming an astronaut or a football player quickly become memories buried beneath a stack of "TPS" reports. However, for a select few, such as Denver's newest underground beat-slayer, Meraki, those aspirations never fade. Accordingly, with the success of his thriving DJ career, he's become the perfect example of how dreams ..read more

Living in a region with a dynamic landscape of drum & bass music is a blessing. In particular, the Denver underground's appetite for a vast assortment of contrasting genres (and subgenres) illuminates that perspective. Critically, though, not having to put in the work of nurturing the scene makes those blessings all the more glorious. Like spoiled children, some have even become, "bass music snobs." And why not? We've been ensconced in the beats, for years. Certainly, the upcoming RECON XVIII event featuring Liondub, Anna Morgan, and Mister Shifter will likely carry on that tradition. In ..read more

There must be something in the Denver air that lifts those festival vibes a mile high. It's something the Revelers of the Colorado festival scene can't really describe, thus you have to experience it to truly understand. In other words, you can't get a contact high off of these palpitations - you have to inhale and hold it in! With that in mind, if you're looking to score some of that dank energy, you're in luck. The High Ground Music Festival is making its inaugural run this weekend at Levitt Pavilion and Levitate Events is ready to dab you into another dimension. Obviously, the underlying t ..read more

Just like an addiction, when drum & bass takes hold of you, it never lets go. There's something about those dynamic syncopations that leave you fraught with intoxication like no other type of music. It can be hard yet liquid; grimy but also rinsed out; uplifting at first then quickly dark and aggressive. It's like the drums are laced with something that fades you quick. Thus, in a moment of clarity, when examining the amalgamation of A7TM3D and Borrowed Drums into a singular force in dnb- the name Medicated Drums, makes perfect sense. Seemingly, the complex sensations the genre creates ar ..read more

Now, before anyone floods the BOD inbox with hatred, house music is by no means going stale. In fact, alongside techno, the genre is as flavorful as it's ever been. Nevertheless, with an underground music palate as diverse as Denver's, its always a melting pot of what's currently hot. With this in mind, the ascension of DJ duo WLD N FRSH to the forefront of the genre couldn't come at a better time. Furthermore, the growth of their Denver House Music platform continues to play a huge role in the amelioration of the ever ripe house and techno scene. Artists in Colorado's underground dance music ..read more

Do you remember where you were the last time you shook your ass so hard that you lost track of time? If not, that's definitely okay because you likely got lost in the moment. That's what underground dance music is all about, right? Obviously, we wouldn't love those late nights in bars or dusty warehouses if it wasn't. Moreover, it sometimes slips the mind that there's a person masterminding that infectious effervescence which entrances us on the dancefloor. Thus, as we return to dancefloors, it's hard not thinking about those high energy sets from artists like Emyli Dahlia- The ones that get ..read more

The best thing coming from this nightlife sabbatical, is most assuredly what awaits us when we return to the dancefloor. Certainly, artists are chomping at the bit to get back in the booth- at least the die-hards are. As a result, they're swiftly ditching their live-stream placations for the familiar roar of a raucous and effervescent crowd. From this mass uncoupling of couch and ass, we can surmise one thing - producers and DJs alike, got fresh beats on deck, for days - no cap! Ever the lab-rat, Einida Eleven is certainly no exception here. Just like many of his peers, he's ready to show us ..read more

We're setting our sights on a triumphant return to live music in the Denver Underground after a long layoff. With many of the roadblocks already being lifted for an uninhibited return to the dance floor, DJs are beginning to refuel their bass cannons. Certainly, that is music to the ears of bassheads in the scene and promoters in the region are responding, in droves, with a flurry of new event announcements. AK Productions, Quite Low Records and Quite Right Records are no exception as they gear up for the return of 'Til The Break of Dawn. In response to their call to arms, El Conquistador is ..read more
