4 Must See Shows at The Black Box This Month (January 2025):

1. Wicker’s Portal w/ Relativity Lounge, Intellects (Wicker’s Portal x C.V), Storm,,,Quartzzion

Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/wickers-portal-jan17

When: Friday, January 17th

Genre: Experimental bass

Origin: Minnesota, US

Favorite Songs:

  1. The Bounce
  2. Onerous
  3. Lachrymose
  4. Torpid

What to expect: Wicker’s Portal is as weird as it gets. Their music is equal parts melodic and experimental, with plenty of disorientating and chaotic sound structures and untraditional design. Expect to be thrown into a very strange, unpredictable sound experience.

2. Danny Grooves w/ Gill_Yum, Neuron Soup, Peen

Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/danny-grooves-jan23

When: Thursday, January 23rd

Genre: Dubstep

Origin: Chicago, IL

Favorite Songs:

  1. Gongchoked
  2. Studda Step Redux
  3. G-Spec
  4. East West Connect

What to expect: Danny Grooves is experimental bass with a touch of glitch hop. His rhythms are bouncy, and often untraditional, and his tracks routinely feature samples of classic hip hop vocals, live instruments (especially the bass guitar) and fantastic percussive elements that go far beyond the drums. Expect a funky set with lots of improvisation and soulful bass music. 

3. Motus x Falcon w/ Wagna

Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/motus-falcon-jan25

When: Saturday, January 25th

Genre: Dubstep/riddim

Origin: Montreal, Canada

Favorite Songs:

  1. Lowest
  2. Fuzzy Mod (Unknown Special)
  3. Outlaw
  4. TRUTH (GYRONIK SPECIAL)

What to expect: Motus’s music falls comfortably into the riddim genre, without becoming too repetitive or saturated with screeching sound design. Instead, he takes a slightly more minimalist approach, and always presents his tunes with a clear sound design that avoids feeling muddy and overplayed.

4. Ozztin w/ Trip Drop B2B Tree Gaud, Noetika, Devious, Furtha B2B Grapesoduh

Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/ozztin-jan31

When: Friday, January 31st

Genre: Dubstep/experimental bass

Origin: Denver, CO

Favorite Songs:

  1. GRETA VAN FLEET – LIGHT MY LOVE (OZZTIN REMIX)
  2. LANA DEL REY – YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL (OZZTIN FLIP)
  3. NO PROBLEMS
  4. WOAH

What to expect: Ozztin has been making quite the name for himself in recent years, and especially 2024. He’s a very collaborative producer who has released tracks with Lumasi, Twopercent and several others. But recently, he’s known for flipping psychedelic rock songs from Greta Van Fleet, and other radio hits like Lana Del Ray’s “Young and Beautiful” and the hip-hop classic “Pop Lock and Drop It.” Expect tons of remixes, flips, and edits — all very bass-forward and relatively heavy.
