4 Must See Shows at The Black Box This Month (December 2024):
1. tsimba w/ Mikayli, Gallium, Inspectah B2B Fervor
Tickets: blackboxdenver.co/events/tsimba-dec6
When: Friday, October 10th
Genre: Experimental Bass/Dubstep
Origin: Brooklyn, NY
Favorite Songs:
- Sendai
- Letting Go
- I Turn Into A Telescope
- Deathpact — Hold On (Tsimba Remix)
What to expect: Tsimba is the definition of “experimental bass.” His tempos are all over the place (although usually pretty high), and his sound design is filled with strange, abrupt noises from all corners of the sonic spectrum. You never really know what to expect from a Tsimba set, which keeps fans on their toes from start to finish.
2. sfam w/ Detre, KTRL, Wesley Mack
Tickets: blackboxdenver.co/events/sfam-dec20
When: Friday, December 20th
Genre: Dubstep
Origin: New Orleans, MO
Favorite Songs:
- Boo’s Mansion
- Tension
- Big Sound
- Smoke & Mirrors
What to expect: The sfam duo has been a staple in North America’s underground bass scene since the mid 2010s, and has collaborated with several heavy hitters like Boogie T, Mersiv,, Tvboo, and most recently, Space Wizard. Expect some 140 vibes and heavy drops throughout.
3. Chef Boyarbeatz w/ Soukii, Neumonic, Marah, Athena
Tickets: blackboxdenver.co/events/chef-boyarbeatz-dec28
When: Saturday, December 28th
Genre: UK Bass/Dubstep/140
Origin: Denver, CO
Favorite Songs:
- Night Lurker
- Peace
- Ternion Sound – Bacterian (Chef Boyarbeatz Remix)
- Here We Go
What to expect: Chef Boyarbeatz has one of the most classic dubstep sounds in the scene today, taking clear inspiration from OGs like Skream and Caspa. But his style isn’t contained to dubstep — he also dives into break beats, UK bass, and UKG during his live sets, which has been setting the dancefloor on fire all year long. Expect a wild, zany ride through the deepest depths dubstep has to offer.
4. NYE: Kursa B2B Combine, Die By The Sword B2B Tunic
Tickets: blackboxdenver.co/events/new-years-eve-dec31
When: Tuesday, December 31st
Genre: Dubstep
Origin: United Kingdom (UK)
Favorite Songs:
- Woke Up, Chose Violence
- Ghoul
- A1
- U Aint Bad
What to expect: Kursa and Combine are Deed, Dark, and Dangerous artists who keep the spirit of traditional, grimy underground bass music alive every time they step on stage. If you’re a fan of the culture, this is the best NYE event in the city, and will be packed with a wide demographic of dubstep fans that want to ring in 2025 with as much bass as possible.
