4 Must See Shows at The Black Box This Month (February 2025):
1. Just John w/ Kimati & Illanthropy
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/just-john-feb13
When: Thursday, February 13th
Genre: Experimental bass
Origin: BC, Canada
Favorite Songs:
- Flippin (w/ Xenotype)
- Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (just john & Kimati Flip)
- Drugs (just john & Kimati flip)
- Run Away (Just John Remix)
What to expect: Just John and Kimati are frequent collaborators, so expect tons of symmetry between their sets, which routinely include a more melodic approach to bass music. Just John’s music is more about the impressive sound design and the low end to it’s limits than it is about high-energy dubstep.
2. J:Kenzo & DPRTNDRP (USA Debut)
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/jkenzo-feb14
When: Friday, February 14th
Genre: Dubstep
Origin: United Kingdom
Favorite Songs:
- Vanquisher
- All In
- Cross Polarity
- Starseed 47 – VIP Mix
What to expect: J:Kenzo is a veteran in the UK bass scene with a lengthy discography dating back to 2009. He had a relatively quiet year in 2024, dropping only one single (“Competition w/ Mystic State), but he’s coming in swinging in 2025. Expect VERY deep bass, with a global edge similar to A Hundred Drums and Zen Selekta.
3. 14 Year Anniversary of Sub.mission Electronic Tuesdays w/ Bukez Finezt
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/etuesdays-feb18
When: Tuesday, February 18th
What to expect: Sub.Mission’s Electronic Tuesdays event series has been a staple in Denver’s rave scene for 14 years. Several artists, including ILLENIUM, Wreckno, Dirt Monkey, and JANTSEN got their start at these events. Electronic Tuesdays provides a space for new DJs to test their abilities and play in front of a real crowd. It also serves as a space to find new talent destined for greatness.
4. Paradox LIVE
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/paradox-feb21
When: Friday, February 21st
Genre: Breakbeats/Jungle
Origin: United Kingdom
Favorite Songs:
- Amara
- Breakbeater
- Mauja
- Zion
What to expect: Paradox is a true student of the game. With over 200 vinyl record releases to date, he’s a rare example of a DJ that holds on to the roots of electronic music with unrelenting dedication. He’s a self-proclimed “breakbeat addict” so expect a set chocked full of created drum breaks and high-tempos.
