Hip-hop, dance get down in Denver

Live hip-hop and dance music almost always sound better indoors, which makes beat-based tunes perfect for the colder months. Here are some highlights from the next few months sure to get your rump shakin'.

Bassnectar

What started in the 90s as an experiment fusing youth culture and social action has turned into a multi-faceted creature called Bassnectar. It exists as an open-sourced musical project that is as diverse as it is heavy, as raw as it is meticulous, and as fierce as it is imaginary. Whatever; you'll be drunk and dressed up like a vampire anyway.
