I wasn’t a fan of Ookay’s performance at Global Dub Fest, and I was disappointed in Yellow Claw’s set as well. For both of these DJs, I felt as if they played very basic songs and at times, didn’t really have good drops either. It seemed that the high school aged kids around me enjoyed it though, so I felt like their set was intended for this age group. The best part about Yellow Claw’s set though was that he had one of the security guards come onstage and participate in a twerking contest with the gogo dancers.

After they performed, someone came onstage and dramatically announced Zomboy to take the stage. The announcer hyped it up very well, because Zomboy was amazing. I don’t even know how else to describe his set, except that.

Zomboy had played some Snails and some well known songs, mixed in with songs from his album ‘The Outbreak’, which came out a few months ago. It was a very well put together set, and he didn’t just “hit play”, as some people criticize DJs for doing. He knew how to mix different sounds in to make each tune sound just right. One thing I found myself thinking was that when Zomboy had his build ups before the drops, I felt 100% confident that his drops would not disappoint. And they didn’t. This is exactly how I felt about Excision as well, who was up next.

Excision performed with Executioner, which is a video and lighting feature that creates 3D images and effects. It reminded me a lot of Datsik’s vortex, if you’ve ever been to a Datsik show. Excision performed within this structure, creating one of the best Dubstep sets I’ve ever experienced.

When he first came on, I noticed people looking at each other, giving a smile, and it seemed like they were silently saying that they made the right choice coming to this show. I couldn’t imagine anyone in that crowd being disappointed because Excision’s performance was so intense and proved himself to be the best pick for the headliner of this show.

My favorite parts of his performance was when he added in Bear Grillz & Datsik’s “Drop That Low” as well as “Fuck That” by Skrillex. And who could forget when he played his own song “Robo Kitty” with a robotic cat played out by the Executioner.

Zomboy and Excision are absolutely amazing in the Dubstep genre, and if you can catch them at a show or music festival, I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.

Snails has a large fan base here in Denver, as the show was officially sold out the day of. The venue was packed, with fans squeezing their way to get up front to see Snails himself. I couldn’t believe how crowded it was.

Everyone in attendance had great vibes and great energy. I find that in most shows I go to, the crowd is always great, but of course there’s that one guy who drank too much and is consequently being rude to the people around him. I didn’t find that here at the Snails show. Everyone was there for the music and good times that come from that.

The music he produced at Beta had a very unique and eccentric sound to it. Snails coined the term “vomitstep” to describe his music. The way he controlled and manipulated his sound was unlike anything I’ve heard before. It complemented his name well also. The music could be described as “slimey”, perfect for his DJ name. I also think it definitely differentiates him from other Dubstep artists. If you haven’t heard him before, you should check him out on SoundCloud.

Overall, the music was great, the people were awesome, the GoGo dancers were talented, and the venue was perfect. And Snails stagediving into the crowd at the end of his set was a great end to the night. I highly recommend checking out Snails as well as Beta Nightclub.

We were at Grizmatik on Halloween and needless to say that photos from that night are just a sliver of how awesome it was.

Last night we were at Beta gettin our Trap fix from the mysterious *UZ* as well as some seriously awesome sets by Caustik and Subliminal

Needless to say we had an awesome week and we’re only working harder to bring you more photos, music and news about upcoming events here in Denver. This is Whompville!!

WHAT…A…WEEKEND!!! Friday night at the Animal House Tour was absolutely insane! The electricity in the atmosphere in Beta was immeasurable. Bro Safari & ETC! ETC! played to packed house (So packed I couldn’t get up front to get snap shots of the DJ’s) and Denver went OFF to every bass filled drop they had to offer. You can see pictures here!

Also if you missed the Denver Zombie Crawl and After Party we have pictures from both events here. It was quite the experience. Ive never seen full families participate in a Cosplay event this big. Everyone from kids to the elderly were dressed up as zombies, survivors or victims and played each part VERY well. Even Umbrella Corps Denver came out to show off their Resident Evil get up. Sub.Mission Dubstep held down the beats in the Red Bull MXT and then slayed us @ Casselmans later that night with some Basscrooks & Lotus Drops. All in all it was a great weekend and although its now Monday its never to early to start prepping yourself for the weekend. If you need your bass fix sooner than later the one and only SILKIE is playing Larimer Lounge w/ Lotus Drops tomorrow night. Don’t forget we got Pendulum (DJ set) @ Beta on Friday and if you’re in the mountains looking for a bass fix Demon, Coult-45, Caustik & Curlyone are taking over The Tap House in Steamboat Springs on Saturday!! Drink plenty of water, eat your veggies and stretch those legs because I predict that we will once again be sore come Sunday morning

To say that Friday night was great is an understatement but in order to give details on the night you have to start from the beginning. We all walked in and standing at the decks was the always lovely Lotus Drops. This Bay Area Bass Queen has been smashing up sets from Chicago to Hawaii to up and down the west coast and lately has been seen destroying clubs all over Colorado. She caught us by surprise on Friday night as we walked in and caught her dropping bass heavy classics mixed in with unreleased dubplates.  I must say that it is always a pleasure to catch her sets. They’re always fun and have the perfect mix of deep whomp and a bass heavy wobble.  Next up was the one and only Coult-45. Over the last few years this Colorado native has made a name for himself as one of THE premier Sub.Mission residents. What many love about Coult’s style is that it’s so diverse. From deep bass filled dubstep to trap to drum & bass he does what every great DJ does, takes you on a journey and always keeps you guessing what’s next.

As Josh Small started his set the Funktion-One’s vibrated the chest cavities of every bass head in the building. I must say that when the first bass dropped people went nuts. Although Helicopter Showdown usually performs as a group, seeing them individually truly makes you appreciate the talent of these men. Each has their own unique style and, like many great groups, when those styles come together something amazing happens. Josh Small’s style was perfect for Denver. From dubstep to trap to moombah to electro to drum & bass and everything in between Josh’s set was absolutely out of control. He said it himself, “Denver you’re my favorite city to play because no matter what I drop you fucking get down.”  Believe me, when I say that Denver came out full force ready to show Helicopter Showdown that we can get down to any track you throw at us.  “I catch them every time they come to town.” A club goer said as we were leaving. I for one can say that I will be at their next performance when they come back to Colorado.
