The night was kicked off by rapper/cellist Jordan Polovina hitting the stage at 8:30. Looping his drum pad over his soothing cello rifts on “Get It”, he created a mellow vibe for the crowd to sway to. The set also featured a freestyle that had Jordan spitting on topics that were brought to him by […]

Solely releasing previous EPs through BLDG5 Records, March 16th will mark the very first major release […]

This weeks’ Re:Search gave a healthy serving of my favorite style of bass – the hip-hop influenced west coast variety, of course. I’ve loved Gladkill for years and through some bullshit twist of fate, I’ve missed dozens of his shows since becoming hooked during a Wakarusa set in 2014. Like star crossed lovers, three years […]

Colorado loves Greensky Bluegrass, and their recent 3 night run in Denver couldn’t have been sweeter. We were able to send photographer Austin Dodson on the final night, January 13th, to capture their performance at the beautiful Ogden Theater. Follow the band as they continue their Winter Tour 2018 through the Midwest and along the […]

“What…what the fuck are we doing out here in the middle of the goddamn desert?” —Dr. Gonzo Every time I go out to the desert I can’t help but think of the opening scene of Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, where Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo are tripping out on acid in the […]

MC/Cellist Jordan Polovina came on at 8:30 sharp, playing a few standout tracks from his upcoming solo album such as ‘Lay On The Line’ and ‘Face It’, which are both streaming on SoundCloud. Another highlight […]

Earlier this week I had the chance to catch EarthCry here in Denver during Re:Search Wednesday. Sharing his pensive electronic productions through his unique live set-up, he truly gave an cathartic performance that mesmerized from beginning to end. Facing his electronic controls to the crowd, EarthCry uses analog synthesizers to weave downtempo yet uplifting soundscapes, and […]

The anticipation from Tuesday nights’ debut of London producers K.L.O. was enough to cause FOMO among even oblivious Denver heads. I received more than a few eager texts from friends (who had never even listened to the neuro-hop group) asking for guidance in the way of tickets, since word was quickly spreading that it would […]

This weeks’ Electronic Tuesday will see its heaviest show of the year with K.L.O. and Sortof Vague arranging minds in the main room. The Cosmic Synergy collective will […]
