2018 has seen its share of artists gone too soon, but that doesn’t keep people from around the world coming together to celebrate and reminisce on legacies left behind. One of music’s latest losses was rapper Mac Miller, who died just last month from a tragic drug overdose. Though he led a successful life and […]

While some are content with turning in early on a Sunday night to ready themselves for the work week ahead, I was en route to the Boulder Theater for some Jungle. The 7 piece modern soul band have been on everyone’s radar the past couple of years, and aside from passing festival performances, I had […]

It was nearly ten years ago when I initially recall hearing Porter Robinson for the first time. I was in the midst of a ‘rave’ style phase, and one of the ways my friends and I would pass the time till the weekend was to make mix CD’s to blast while we partied. I’d be […]

After recently lacing up REZZ’s ‘Green Gusher’ track with some galactic sauce, Homemade Spaceship is intent on keeping the bangers coming, and last weeks’ transmission arrived in the form of ‘Aliens’. A staple in the producer’s live sets, I’d heard this song several times and always wondered when it would be released, and that day […]

Boulder producer Jantsen has been rocking the bass scene for over a decade now, and though it’s been a while since he’s unleashed a proper mix, that all changed last week when he bestowed Gutter Music Vol.2.
