Ishe started first out back on the porch where a BBQ was set up for the audience that night. He set the perfect mood for the rainy evening. His music had a chill vibe to it and towards the end of his set, he incorporated some drum and bass into the Dubstep sounds. Overall, he was a great opener before Dirt Monkey.

Dirt Monkey was up next. He’s a local DJ from Boulder who opens up for headliners frequently at Beta. He never disappoints when he performs. I’m always really excited when I see that he is opening, and I always overhear other people in the crowd excited for him too.

Feed Me came on next and I think the best way to describe him is that he has a lot of variety to what he presents to the crowd. He didn’t just play Dubstep; he incorporated a lot of different electronic genres in his set. I feel like in this way he really appealed to every individual person there.

What I also liked about Feed Me was that I could tell he is really passionate about his work. It made me happy to see him smiling out to the crowd, clearly enjoying what he was doing. I think my favorite moment was when he played his song “One Click Headshot”. And who couldn’t like the infamous “teeth” as part of the visuals.

Feed Me is a truly unique artist and I recommend checking him out on Facebook or SoundCloud.

I’ve heard great things about Kill the Noise preceding the show from people who have seen him before. Listening to his Kill Kill Kill album as well got me hyped up for the show. Here’s a teaser to check out if you haven’t heard any of the songs from that album yet:

To put things in perspective, Kill the Noise is a part of the record label OWSLA, a label founded by Skrillex. Some of the best Dubstep artists are included on there, so it’s safe to assume that Kill the Noise knows his stuff.

What I thought was cool about the Kill the Noise show was that there was fog that was blasted out to the front section. It was so thick that I wasn’t able to see anyone around me, so it was almost like I was there, dancing to the beats by myself. I also thought the visuals for the show were interesting. Usually in any sort of EDM show, you can find some “trippy” stuff going on on the LED screen. However, for this show, not only did he have his logo transitioning into different colors, but he had some live action shots going on, almost like scenes from a movie. It created a unique experience that I hadn’t felt at any other previous Dubstep show.

As for the sound, it was a really great performance, but I was a little disappointed. First of all, his build ups were great. They were really exciting and the crowd loved it, myself included. Even better were his drops. I really feel like he shows off his artistic ability through these. So all of his songs in general were great. The one thing that did disappoint me though were his transitions, or should I say, lack there of. I couldn’t believe how the songs could be great, how it would get built up and then have amazing drops, and then all of a sudden…nothing. Then on to the next song. It was strange and I was surprised that someone so highly regarded both in the Dubstep world and the EDM world didn’t utilize transitions!

Besides this minor mishap, I really enjoyed the show and I still think the guy is really talented. He knows how to manipulate different sounds to his liking, knowing exactly what the crowd wants to hear.

Bass Heads?! Yeah I said it and the term is very real. Stand outside of Beta on a Friday or Cervantes on a Tuesday and you see fans waiting to feel the sub woofer vibrate their chest cavities. You’ll see fans waiting to catch their favorite DJ/Producer ‘s set to relive a memory and make a new one. You’ll see couples that want nothing more than to just dance with each other and forget about the world around them. You’ll see birthday parties, bachelorette parties, men & women, girls & boys, Go-Go Dancers, Live Painters, Lights, Lasers and god knows what else. You’ll see a lot of different thing but what you’ll mainly see is love. Fans with a love so deep for this music its almost insane. some of these people wait patiently all week just to hit that dance floor and rage all that weeks worth of frustration out. Rage it out my friend, rage it out hard.

It would seem that the very beats that we dance to are like the heart beat of this city. Denver is home to many music venues and genres but it would seem that Bass Music hold the title in Denver these days. If you’re a concert veteran you know whats in store for the night and youre gonna have some fun… just dont be that know it all “Ive seen every DJ ever everywhere” guy/girl because we all hate that guy/girl ( You know who you are). If this is you’re first Bass show all we can tell you is this, you’re in for some fun. So what do i predict tonight? I think we’re all gonna have some crazy stories to tell in the morning. Be safe out there kids!
