4 Must See Shows at The Black Box This Month (September 2024):
1. Chief Kaya x CHOMPPA
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/chiefkaya-chomppa-sep6
When: Friday, September 6th
Genre: Dubstep, experimental bass
Origin: Tennessee (Chief Kaya), Philadelphia (CHOMPPA)
Favorite Songs:
- Ouroboros (Chief Kaya)
- The Internet – Special Affair (Chief Kaya)
- SubDocta & MYTHM – Nightcrawler Remix (CHOMPPA)
- $uicideboy$ – 1000 Blunts Flip (CHOMPPA)
What to expect: Chief Kaya and CHOMPPA are as deep, dark, and dangerous as you can get. If you like the classic, low end-oriended bass music from artists like Truth, or even Distinct Motive more recently, you’ll love this show.
2. UZ w/ DirrtyStarr, DigitalLoveJoint
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/chiefkaya-chomppa-sep6
When: Friday, September 13th
Genre: Trap
Origin: France/Los Angeles, CA (UZ)
Favorite Songs:
- Venom (UZ, Barnacle Boy)
- Trap Shit V13 (UZ)
- IBTFY (UZ, TroyBoi)
- Focus (UZ)
- Monster (UZ)
What to expect: Recently, UZ has been releasing some serious trap bangers. In 2024 alone, he’s released tracks with TroyBoi and barnacle boi — the latter track, “Venom” is a particular highlight, and definitely has more of a bass-oriented feel. This one will be packed with deep trap bangers and very high energy.
3. An-Ten-Nae w/ Urban Essence, Dopel
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/antennae-sep21
When: Saturday, September 21st
Genre: Dubstep, experimental bass, downtempo
Origin: San Francisco, CA (An-Ten-Nae)
Favorite Songs:
- Sensi Dub (An-Ten-Nae)
- We Are The Night (An-Ten-Nae, Diamond Saints, Shadow Society)
- Underground (An-Ten-Nae, High Tara)
- Ready Ignition (An-Ten-Nae)
What to expect: An-Ten-Nae is a LEGEND in the experimental bass scene, with releases dating all the way back to 2008’s Acid Crunch EP 1. His discography is lengthy, varied, and full of fantastic tunes ranging from weird acid-house to downtempo, meditative bass music, and more classic dubstep sounds. Expect a mixed bag, and a carefully-curated sonic journey across multiple genres.
4. Overview USA Tour – Klinical, Koherent, Velle, Sub-Antics, Energy
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/overview-music-sep27
When: Friday, September 27th
Genre: Dubstep, 140, experimental bass
Origin: Bristol, UK (Klinical)
Favorite Songs:
- Tokyo (Klinical, Spektiv)
- 1THOUSAND (Klinical, MYTHM)
- Lapalux, Kerry Leatham – Without You (Klinical Edit)
- Answer (Klinical)
What to expect: According to UKF, who profiled Klinical earlier this year, Klinical is someone who “has been pushing the boundaries of the genre with a sound that seamlessly navigates between rollers, liquid, and neuro, carving a niche that is distinctly his own.” We couldn’t agree more. If you like that grimey, afterhours warehouse sound, this one is for you.
