If 2019 has shown us anything, it’s this: The Party People can’t be stopped. Denvers’ hometown heroes have only dug deeper into the vault to serve up fresh cuts and dicey rhymes to give us endless reasons to hit the dance floor hard. Their latest single, ‘Don’t Stop’, is set to drop August 26th – […]

Kicking off one of the biggest weekends of the year for music in Colorado, Pretty Lights’ ten year anniversary at Red Rocks, Philos Records producers Daily Bread and Artifakts are headlining a sold-out preparty at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom with a back-to-back set.

Getting things started for the night, Mikey Thunder spun tracks over Jordan Polovina warming up his cello playing for his late night set. During the opening set, Mikey spun RZA’s “You Can’t Stop Me Now” which is an upbeat track with a groovy bass line and dope lyrics that Pretty Lights fans might recognize from […]

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. The trio made themselves at home last Wednesday in Denver for the weekly Re:Search show at Cervantes. It would be a few hours until the group hit the Other Side stage, but […]

Arriving at the tail end of Mikey Thunder’s set, the OG was spinning some ambient, downtempo tracks to get the early crowd in the zone for what’s to come. The slow, deep bass poured from the speakers like molasses, only to have Mikey’s quick cuts slice through the thickness like a samurai blade dicing a […]

Popping things off this Wednesday, Jordan Polovina warmed up the evening alternating between old and new material. A couple songs into the set, Mikey Thunder came to play and brought his fire beats for Jordan to spit over. Transitioning smoothly between songs, the two brought the funk with a healthy split of their past material […]

Opening the night, Jordan Polovina and Mikey Thunder brought the heat early on. Mikey came with a high-energy, bass heavy set that warmed up the venue nicely. Conjuring a freestyle session with Kruza Kid and Jordan, Mikey kept the beats coming while incorporating some live scratching to accompany the cypher. Kruza Kid really dropped some […]

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 […]

His stunning combination of talents keep the early birds mesmerized and locked on the dance floor, many with their jaws dropped and phones out. He also incorporated a unique instrument, a talk box, to […]
