Saturday night Summit Music Hall hosted Alvin Risk, the young Producer and DJ who has quickly ascended the ranks within the EDM scene with his genre-bending sound, combining and overlapping Dub Step, Drum’n’Bass, Moombaton, and Electrohouse with a wide range of vocal samples — amazingly, he pulls it off and he does it with a certain panache that is unmistakable. He did not fall short in his delivery; it was an awesome show, and though the crowd was sparse, this is not the last we will see of Alvin Risk, not by a long shot.

There are two main subjects of this story. BoomBox the band and State Bridge Amphitheatre the venue. Although two completely separate entities, the two fused together for a night just a few days after the fourth of July. When the two members of BoomBox manned their stations on stage, it was as if a surge of electricity ran through the venue. Literally and figuratively. Yes, the crowd was excited but the beautiful intensity of the lights and sound system were catalysts as well.

Just outside of Fort Collins, four sisters fill a family home with sounds only siblings could make. Combining Classical structure with Folk lyrics, Country catchiness, Bluegrass beauty and an intense passion, SHEL (Sarah, Hannah, Eva, Liza) is band full of depth and delight. Only one album deep into what is sure to be a lengthy career, SHEL has already found success without necessarily looking for it. Their music is as natural as the setting they create it in, and forming the band seemed more their fate than a decision.

Gramatik is headlining his first show at The Fillmore this Saturday night. With opening acts Talib Kweli and Mux Mool, it’s sure to be a night that lives up to Gramatik’s personal ability to move from one musical genre to the next. His new light design, inspired by infamous physicist Nikola Tesla is sure to be a highlight of this blowout. He was kind enough to take a few minutes away from his busy schedule to talk to Listen Up Denver! about the tour, his musical influences, and about his philosophy of giving away all of his music for free to fans.

Certainly no stranger to the Colorado EDM scene, L.A. based producer Kraddy made a triumphant return to Denver last week and gave the crowd the Hip- Hop/Funk/Dancehall experience they were looking for. The man has no lack of swagger, and he casually strolled, laptop and MIDI controller in hand, to the stage a few minutes after a manic Run DMT set had come to a close. On this night, Kraddy garnered much favor and fervor from the crowd, and for that reason we will always welcome his beats and preference for heavy sound back to our city.
