This weeks Photo of the week comes from last weeks Big Gigantic Colorado throw down! Maybe my favorite photo of the night... getting harder and harder to chose favorites these days! anywho... RAGE ON DUDES! RAGE ON!

Big Gigantic @ Boulder Theater

2012-01-24T21:04:00.000-08:00

I am a firm believer that the crowd at a show can tell you a lot about a band, where they are from, where they are going, where they have been. Anyone in the Boulder Theater last Friday would have laughed in your face if you had asked them where Big Gigantic was from. Because the answer was so very clear…RIGHT THERE! There really is nothing better than when your favorite local band gets HUGE and then comes back to where it all began to throw down! We’re not talking just fans here either, we’re talking the Boulder BROS. Getting back to where they’ve been recently… The very first time I heard Big Gigantic preform live was actually just a few short weeks ago at Lights All Night in Dallas. Although they were on the smallest stage and had yet to acquire the SICK new LED light display they still captured my heart with their music and took me to a very different place in my musical soul. Both untouchable and unmatchable is the sound that is produced by this saxophone and drum duo. Basically Big G completely ROCKS! Those guys took me straight up BLEW ME AWAY TWICE in less than a month and now I’m hooked! These guys are that real type of good that’s going to take them to one of the best places of all, EVERYWHERE! ENJOY!

Special thanks to the man Grant GRIZ for hooking up a photo contest & 2 tix to the Boulder Theater show! <3

Ascencion Late Night @ Shugs

2012-01-24T19:41:00.000-08:00

Envision a festival experience unlike any other. Envision a group of the world’s most beautiful people coming together to celebrate life, art, and music, at a beautiful time in one of the most beautiful of places. Last Friday I had the delightful opportunity to snag a few sick pics In Boulder after the madness that was Big Gigantic at an unofficial after party. Ascencion was one raging pre-party for the Envision Festival held in Costa Rica this March. And boy did going to it make me wish I had a ticket have my own Envision experience! Incredible live painting & performance art was provided by Morgan Manley (photo below), MaQi, Akayate, Bryon Foster and Amy Ilg. At this show I mostly found myself marinating in some magical sounds of local talent, Jantsen, Crushendo, Kll Smth, Buddha Bomb, and Cualli. These guys know how to get down and all KILLED IT! GREAT MUSIC. GREAT ART. GREAT VIBES! Keep it up PastForward & ENVISION THE POSIBILITES of 2012.ENJOY!

LIGHTS ALL NIGHT 2011

2012-01-11T20:20:00.000-08:00

Well folks it has taken me 11 days to get over the madness that was LIGHTS ALL NIGHT 2011! Honestly, visions of the enormous Omni Hotel lit up all colorful and beautiful like that still haunt my electronic dance music dreams. Lights all Night was by far the best indoor event that I have ever been too. From the layout of the stages, to the MASSIVE LED LIGHT displays at each stage, to the wonderfully uplifting and positive vibes I got every time I stepped into each of the three halls(GROOVE,DANCE,BASS!), I have come to the conclusion that this event can only be described as opening the doors to 2012 with a two night dose of ---------> NEXT LEVEL SHIT!<---------Hard to say that any one aspect alone really accomplished it alone, but something just went right this time and 20,000+ BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE got to experience an event that was completely unique and totally unreal on many a level....Something about the nature of this event begged and pleaded for a CHANGE, and boy oh boy did the fans LOVE IT! Words can’t really do something this SICKKKK much justice but maybe these photos and videos can...ENJOY!

Freq Nasty - LowRIDERz - GRiZ @ Cervantes

2011-12-18T15:41:00.000-08:00

What a good feeling it is to make it to Sunday after a weekend stacked with epic dub shows. For many it comes as a day of reflection and relaxation. Last Friday I had the chance to get dirty with Freq Nasty, LowRIDERz (Feat. An-ten-nae and DJ Laura), Griz, & Project Aspect at the Acid Crunk Vol. 4 Release Party. Anyone of the 700+ people who were lucky enough to make it out to this might have to agree that it was absolutely out of control with ACID CRUNK AWESOMENESS! From the moment I walked into the ballroom the energy of the crowd soared leading me to the speedy assumption that these fans were well prepared for some BASS IN THE FACE. On Halloween I observed upcoming DJ Grant GRiZ melt the faces and hearts of his Denver fans on the same stage. This show was no different! For such a young DJ he seems exceptionally comfortable on stage. Friday’s showcase only intensified my excitement for his performance this NYE in my home state of TEXAS at Lights All Night! Announced just in the last week, he will be playing the groove stage with fellow acts Big Gigantic and Paper Diamond. But enough about Griz… the stars of this night were undoubtedly the dynamite dub duo LowRIDERz who got the crowd raging right from the get go & the Fiji native FreQ Nasty. & from here words just won’t do. ENJOY!

This week's photo of the week comes from last Wednesday's RAGER at the Fox Theatre in Boulder with Eliot Lipp, Slim Thugz, KLL SMTH & Sunsquabi!! Sunsquabi opened the show with my favorite track off there recently released LP titled Enhance. “In the Studio,” got the crowd off to a great groove allowing then for Slim Thugz & Eliot Lipp to melt the faces of their so very loyal local fans. If you haven’t checked these guys out yet do yourself a favor and get downloading! Most of these guys have FREE MUSIC!!!ENJOY!

Electronic Tuesday w/ Dayquill & Tech-ill @ Cervantes Other Side

2011-12-05T20:22:00.001-08:00

Sometimes I think people forget how much effort it takes to really pull an amazing weekly event like Electronic Tuesdays together. Months of planning and booking go into a weekly showcase of Denver's Dope-st DJ's at Cervantes Other Side every Tuesday and boy do the locals love it! Last Tuesday I had the chance to catch some great vibes from Blake Weise aka, Dayquill, who has been mixing since the young age of 15, As well as, a fellow Texas native Coleman Tekell aka, Tech-ill. I hope for the sake of aspiring musical artist that events like these that showcase a "Battle of the Bands" style of performance competition continue. It is because of events like this those artists that start with one hundred fans end up with a thousand. ENJOY!

Gramatik & Michal Menert PLM Fall tour @ Fox Theatre

2011-11-20T16:58:00.001-08:00

"Good music is felt, not heard." After eleven hard weeks of books and blog starting my reward finally came! The Pretty Lights Fall Tour made its first of six Colorado stops in Boulder last Thursday and boy was it a party! Hundreds of RAGING fans enjoyed the Funk, SOUL, & hip-hop groove that the PLM crew has worked so hard at becoming known for. Michal Menert answered the famous Pretty Lights Music question "What makes the motherfucker so damn fresh?", with a sick freestyle flow or 3 that added some nice jam variety to the set as well as providing that expect ANYTHING & EVERYTHING wow factor that PLM fans are so very accustomed to. Colabs included Gramatik & Michal Menert with openers SuperVision & Paul Basic. Grabbed so many great vibes and videos at this one people. ENJOY!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Just realized I never posted any sick pics from Martin Solveig last Thursday! Here are some cool shots of the headband wearing MOB that apparently all came to say "Hello". Hello the title of Martin's chart topping hit and has been sampled by various artist such as Bassnectar & Sidney Samson.ENJOY!

Hey everyone! This week @ JWU is finals week for me and there is still just so much to do! Hard to believe that I have called Denver home for almost three months now! Just goes to show how time really does fly when you’re having the time of your life. But before I skip back to Texas for a down south Thanksgiving feast I present to you: This Monday's Photo of The Week is a sickkkk pic and a personal favorite from last Friday's MRK1 show at Beta.

Well guys lastnight was simply INSANE! The Southwest SCIONify FREE party with VASKI was absolutely the best Wednesday I have had since moving to Denver just two short months ago.Unfortunately I took so many sick pics and videos It will take a month (maybe a few days) for me to post them! I suppose haveing the best night ever sometimes comes with some trade offs ;) Until then, Here is a sick vid from lastnight of Jantsen throwing some dope Dre in the mix.

SunSquabi @ Cervantes

2011-11-08T15:33:00.000-08:00

Sunsquabi stole the stage and my heart this Monday at Cervantes with Bridging the Music's Free Drink Monday Madness & Battle of the bands competition!! The eclectic guitar, bass ,dj, drummer mash-up allows Sunsquabi to break free of old musical styles and grab onto a delightfully new and interesting mix of electronic music production with a jam band style of performance. Although they are a young band, just created in January of this year, the large crowd on a Monday night quickly gave away their secret of a solid fan base. Having good friends and making good first impressions seems to be at this group’s core. In addition to the ability to throw down a perfect Monday night groove. ENJOY!

Dubokle at the Beach house

2011-11-06T17:50:00.000-08:00

After a very long nap the first Saturday night of November woke me up with some killer electronic jams & a RAGING Kontact Productions house party in Denver. The atmosphere of the party was set instantaneously by the magical light and sound production. Prior to getting there I could have only imagined but not fully understood the implications of a big production company like Kontact throwing a house party. That was until I stepped foot inside the warmth of the house and started dancing the night away. The packed house of partiers had seemingly not lost any momentum from the raging week long Halloween festivities that took place less than a week prior. DJ Dubokle stole my attention and gave me a chance to capture the evening in a very modern and colorful house party light. Watch out world. Denver likes to dance and when a Production company throws a house party you better be ready, willing, and able to get your groove on. ENJOY!

Nerd Rage @ Beta

2011-11-05T16:19:00.001-07:00

After a speedy recovery from what seemed like a month of Halloween festivities it was nice to leave the costume behind and wear my favorite blue jeans out. In my newly recovered comfort and warmth I found myself at Beta Nightclub for Basic Friday's, a weekly showcase of dubstep with upcoming dj Nerd Rage's spinning some of his latest basstastic womp womp .

New artist Griz @ Cervantes

2011-11-03T15:46:00.001-07:00

All I know about this is I paid $10 and had about $100 worth of fun at this show! SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET GRIZ AND GET THAT KID PAID. He is such a dope new artist... no questions asked. Got the Cervantes crowed dancing like I have never seen and I try to make it to Cervantes at least once a week...
