As the massive 4/20 holiday weekend approached Denver, there was a buzz in the air akin to the first day of Spring Break – so many options, and only a short amount of time to do it all. Luckily, 420 On The Block had every base covered from live music, art installations, MMJ vendors and […]

Headlining the night, Congo Sanchez, is a three piece world fusion group comprised of DC talents Jeff Franca, Haile Supreme and Flex Matthews.

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 […]

While I only caught the tail end of the performance, the two’s soothing songs were a welcoming wave of energy and set the vibes appropriately as the sold-out venue began to fill. […]
