Travi$ Scott :: "Owl Pharaoh" [Mixtape] Travi$ Scott is, without question, one of the names you have to be on the look out for in 2013. This past year was big for the Houston based rapper and producer. The G.O.O.D. music producer was a clear standout on the Cruel Summer project and also made appearances working with artists like T.I. and Meek Mill. Owl Pharaoh is the first dose we get of Travi$ Scott the solo artist, and it does not all ...

SAVOY :: Three Against Nature [EP] Savoy has become a unique obsession of mine since the first time I caught them in Boulder throwing down the goods.  Today they have grown into a widely recognized, laser-obsessed, electronic trio with a taste for a good time.  From the mountains of Colorado to their new home in New York, this crew continues to impress and put on a show that is a must see for any EDM fan.   ...

RL Grime @ Larimer Lounge :: Denver, CO :: 5.10.13 The Larimer Lounge might as well be a basement.  When the dance floor is 100% packed, and the smell of sweat and perfume is as thick as melted crayon, and big drops cause all pairs of hands to shoot toward the pipes of the unfinished ceiling, you'd swear you were in a basement.  Trap shows are best in this kind of environment -- the movement has been to arenas and festivals and back agai ...

Armin van Buuren @ The Fillmore Auditorium :: Denver, CO :: 5.8.13 I admittedly am not the biggest fan of house or trance music, especially here at UFO.  So being assigned to cover Armin van Buuren at The Fillmore Auditorium was a unique challenge.  I wasn't familiar with any of Armin's music, in fact my only knowledge of him was his title as the number one DJ of 2012 from DJ Mag.  I didn't know wha ...

GRAMATIK w/ Cherub & Herobust :: Webster Hall NYC :: 5.3.13 Friday night's party at Webster Hall gave New Yorkers that electronic music variety that we had been craving all week.  Following some weird weather and a long work week, the proposed funk, soul, dance, hip-hop bass oriented electronic meltdown that is Gramatik, Cherub and heRobust was just what the doctor had ordered.  New York was Gramatik's ...

option4 :: Do Work EP Let me tell you about my friend option4.  He's a great DJ and quite an amazing promoter, doing more for Denver house music than just about anyone else I can name.  But more importantly, he's an even better human being.  It seems appropriate that his new track "Do Work" begins with an inspirational message about hunger and humility.  It's not often you hear club music with subst ...

kLL sMTH :: Juxtacollision I feel like it wasn't too long ago when kLL sMTH was just another name in the Colorado bass scene.  At what point he really opened that third eye and let the light in, I can't say for sure, but the kid is now on a very strong path.  I have a lot of respect for his mystical bass visions and Juxtacollision is just the type of EP I hoped he would make.  Smooth bass ...
