Dumpster Palace
One man's dumpster, Is another mans palace! Picture the place you once tossed your Grime- and now picture your Gatsby pool! Once your waste- Now your favorite get away place! First your Grime- Now you Dine! Artist Oliver Bishop-Young sees Gatsby all over the Grimey streets. These Urban installations bring a new breath to upcycling as a whole.
The Goldsmith Graduate's goal was to make easily accessible street dumpsters that were not being used and create a way to allow community interaction as well as to change the world's view on the common use of a dumpster. Simple paint and home furnishings open a new get away for office meetings and friendly conversation. Right on your dead end street with a new liner and water for a neighborhood summer pool. Think of a future when dumpster diving becomes a completely new idea not only for the pools but for the silent time to read or catch up with a close neighbor!

Re:Creation - Denver's Musical Movement marches on...
Euphonic Conceptions
Presents Re:Creation
Cervantes was at its liveliest this past week with an all-star
line-up throwing down and fogging things up for Euphonic Conceptions’
Re:Creation.
Starting off early, Fisk
got the crowd’s heads nodding and booties shaking with his fresh glitch-hop
wizardry. Coming correct in a
blazer and Nuggets lid, Fisk’s trademark swagger was in full effect as he dropped
an energetic and funky set.
Next up, Govinda
wowed the crowd with a
multi-sensory feast that featured live violin accompaniments and a belly
dancer. The dancer’s presence reinforced the worldly feel of Govinda’s sexy
ambient beats. Govinda has been
featured on lounge compilations like Buddha Bar II and has played with trip-hop
stars Thievery Corporation, evidence of his seasoned world beat pedigree. His
blend of “urban psychedelia” and world music makes for a delectably rich
performance.
Gaudi’s prolific
career as a producer spans three decades and numerous genres. His act mixes dub, experimental
electronic and enough air horns to make you think you were in a Jamaican
dancehall. Accompanied by MC Danny
Ladwa, Gaudi brought an incredible energy to the stage, at one point jumping on
top of his table in a fabulous spectacle.
It was during Gaudi’s heart-pumping set that the raver rain began to
soak the crowd and a jungle vibe gripped the Cervantes’ packed dance floor.
Euphonic Conceptions sure knows how to put together a
line-up. They know how to fill a
venue with creation, too! The
balcony and vendor spaces were packed with artists like Dan Yolles, fresh lids from Grassroots California,
body-workers, hoopers, clothing racks and even air-brushing! Get up with Euphonic Conceptions to find out
about more of their awesome events in Denver, Boulder and FoCo!
20,000 Whomps Under the Sea - Whomp Truck - Denver
Last week the Whomp Truck and Band Kitty threw down anchor and went 20,000 Whomps Under the Sea at a secret location on Santa Fe. The all-night party delivered the whomp booty to all those faithful followers who sought it out via social media and a map point. The venue was decked out in a manner that would have made Ariel and Sebastian proud....The Whomp Truck itself was nestled in one corner, looking like a sunken ship, surrounded by speakers, projection screens and giant seaweed. Lanterns dangled like bubbles and fish adorned the walls. Props to Paulo Wellman on the decor. The warehouse featured 2 projection screens and an entire back wall displaying visuals & projections from Audio Visual Violence Club.
Whomp Truck's whole crew stepped out for this event, providing a full night of music from 10pm till 5 o'something the next morning! Fisk opened the evening, setting the beat with his funky fresh glitch hop (read our review of Fisk's latest EP here). Next up was Noah Deep who, true to his name, kept us deep in the sea of bass-heavy crunk. Add that glitchy grime and you've got one dirty set. Whomp Truck founder Just Ben teamed up with glitch and break pioneer Citrus to become Broseidon for the evening. Bro-ed out and accessorized to the hilt, these two pushed each other's performances and delivered a solid and dance-friendly set.
GG Fam's own Coult-45 brought things all the way down to where the whomp whales roam and dropped the last scallywags off the plank. Fresh off of Friday's Global Dub Festival at Red Rocks, Coulter still came correct and dropped the DubStep set for the night, delivering his trademark rumbling bass and dirty drops.
Best costume, in our opinion, goes to Alert, as Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh. Sampling dialogue from this British cult comedy hit, Alert had the best integration of the theme....not to mention how things got wild during Alert's set.....in a live performance several woman (mostly nude) climbed into an inflated balloon and danced amongst confetti. Broads in bubbles, that's a new one for us!
The evening featured artistic mastery on the decks, on the dance floor, and in other mediums. A demo from one painter, as well as art vendors added their flows to the ocean of creativity. In addition to a chill-out dome, plenty of partiers found their way under "The Wishing Willow of Light", a towering edifice decked out with dangling green LEDS that blink in different variations. Massage by donation also gave attendees a chance to bliss out.
Ishe wrapped up the night with an energetic house set that felt very euro. That scandavian vibe was just the thing for that sunrise dance, though. The night was a success, raising funds for upgrades to the Whomp Truck. They continue to bring ya the booty-shakin beats come hell or high water!

INTERVIEW - Nicole of Sub.Mission Denver
INTERVIEW
Hunt had a chance to catch up with "Nicole Sub.Mission" as we call her in the office. She is the person behind Sub.Mission Dubstep and the woman taking music to the NEXT LEVEL in Denver. We were able to catch up to her after her show at Red Rocks for GlobalDUB. This is the first ever that Global has made a main stage of the genre. It was an ENTIRE DAY OF DUB at RED ROCKS!!!! Maybe now you get the importance of this little lady behind the scenes.....
"If I can get her to stop moving for 15 seconds...I'm sure I can get answers from her. She is as hard to pin down as the Loch Ness Monster but that's cause she's the Hierarchy of Dubstep," is how Hunt put it to us on Friday at the show. You can follow her on twitter, subscribe to her updates on Fb (click her name above ;), check out her Residents, and always GET TO HER NEXT EVENT. She is paving the way for the future......and we are watching every move.
You can book her artists anywhere in the world, you can see her at Electric Tuesdays at Cervantes, Bassic Fridays at Beta, Dubstep stages across the world, and......

Global Dub Festival - Red Rocks
Sub.Mission invited us to enjoy this great event at Red Rocks. And we tagged along for the DUB FUN at RED ROCKS for the FIRST TIME EVER!! Sub.Mission was featured on the main stage and absolutely killed it for the Denver home crowd. Their true grasp on the DUB culture is something we have been following for a year now. They are the reason Denver = Dubstep Capital.
 |
| The Sub.Mission crew opening up the Festival!!!!!!! |
To kick things off Dayquil, Coult 45, Dodger, RumbleJunkie, and DirtMonkey crumbled the main stage with intense FILTH, as they all mixed in and out of the set it was the OG's of DENVER DUBSTEP. Crazy to see it live with them all throwing heat to send off the evening. Speakers to the ceiling and endless whomp came outta Sub.Mission's main stage set. You have got to peep these DJ's if you listen, play, or book Dubstep in your area. They are what's next in Denver aka "The Capital of Dubstep"
Downlink threw a terrific set and after he blew out RED ROCKS; he went and played BASSIC Fridays for Sub.Mission. He was followed by Datsik. Who we all know these days is turning heads in the "mainstream" world. Then Doctor P and Flux blew ear drums till the early morning. Flux dropped three new tracks for his first time at Red Rocks and followed the show with a simple line...
"Red Rocks you have changed my life!!"
 |
| the scene at the rocks is always LIVE!!!! |
Doctor P had some great words to say about the Denver Dubstep Movement (@DenverDubstep) - "I've been all over the world playing music...they all say Red Rocks is magical and different. I'll tell you straight...Their right. This is Dubstep!!!"
Red Rocks was a flurry of lasers, lights, and laughing as the crowd moved all over the stadium. In our pictures you can see the crowd fill up the stands and in the video you will be able to see the motion of the whomp ocean. From the Beasties to Ben Harper, Led Zep to Zedds Dead, Thievery Corp to the Beatles, they have all played at this holy sanctuary of sound. And now the bass is coming to full growth - even in a pot full of rocks.
We have pictures coming soon from the event and we know some of you are in them -- Check out SmugMug for our album of GRIME!!!!!
