4 Must See Shows at The Black Box This Month (October 2024):
1. GLXY w/ Shoebox, DNA Proxi
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/glxy-oct10
When: Thursday, October 10th
Genre: Drum & bass
Origin: London, UK
Favorite Songs:
- Rotor
- Fine Lines
- New Soul
- Proposition
What to expect: GLXY is a underground legend in the London drum and bass community. Known for his soulful approach to the genre, GLXY curates sounds that range from chilled out liquid drum and bass to experimental, left filed drum and bass. But it always has the classic D&B rhythm, so expect a vivid journey through the entire spectrum of drum and bass.
2. MIKRODOT x Bukkha w/ Norse
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/elevated-sounds-oct17
When: Thursday, October 17th
Genre: 140/experimental bass
Origin: Minneapolis, MN
Favorite Songs:
- Boo’s Mansion
- Tension
- Big Sound
- Smoke & Mirrors
What to expect: Mikrodot fits firmly in the DD&D sound pioneered by dubstep legends like Truth and Stylust, with a softer edge. Much like his contemporaries, his music has a meditative nuance that feels consistent and intentional. It’s also deep dub, which is meant to be experienced on a top-tier sound system like The Black box.
3. Deucez w/ Stayns, Mile32, Wanga
Tickets: https://blackboxdenver.co/events/deucez-oct26
When: Saturday, October 26th
Genre: Rddim/dubstep
Origin: Detroit, MI
Favorite Songs:
- Serious
- Dodgeball
- Claybrook — Stonecold Dub VIP (Deucez Bootleg)
- SUBCITY — Salsa Riddim (Deucez Remix)
What to expect: Riddim is a hot topic in the bass community — but, love it or hate it, Deucez has found a way to make the heavy, relentless rhythm more accessible than many of his counterparts. But make no mistake, his music definitely has that monstrous sound design and iconic riddim chops the genre is known for.
4. HALLOWEEN w/ BOMMER
Tickets:https://blackboxdenver.co/events/bommer-oct31
When: Thursday, October 31st
Genre: Dubstep/riddim
Origin: Saint Louis, MO
Favorite Songs:
- Yasuo
- Nah Nah – VIP Mix
- BOMMER x REDUCTOR – LOC DAWG
- Bommer x Ecto – Stop The Track
What to expect: “HA HA HE HU” — if you’ve been to a dubstep show in the past year, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Enough said. (but also, if you didn’t know, Bomer is a dubstep LEGEND and although that “Yasuo” has gone viral this year, that song was actually released in 2014 along with so many bangers that were truly ahead of their time.)
