The new Emmon album is as amazing as I expected, this might end up being my favorite release of 2025.

10 track album

15/10/2025

You may recall a time where I was regularly working on Tuesday nights. These days it's less common, but I love showing up to support touring bands on a weeknight, and hopefully make the night cohesive and fun for everyone. Huge thanks to TREASVRE, Cruel Mourning, and Sucio for putting on an incredible show last night!

I got a little extra time to play stuff since doors were open earlier than expected, so enjoy this extended set of post-punk and adjascent tunes.

I was planning to attend the Patriarchy show since I'm a huge fan, but due to a scheduling conflict I was asked to DJ it too! Their latest album "Manual for Dying" is their best work yet in my opinion, so make sure to check it out on your favorite music platform - I recommend snagging it on Bandcamp.

I'm pretty happy with the music selections I managed to slap together at the last minute. I know most of my locals were at one of the myriad other shows last night (everyone scheduled for October 1st I guess?) so you can catch the replay below!

I've now had the incredible fortune of being the DJ for an Urban Heat show THREE times, having seen them live six times total. This is an amazing band who always brings interesting and talented tour support with them - this time it was Mass Minor, whose contemporary new wave vibe absolutely works for me. Denver's no slouch on top-notch musicians either, I was very impressed with Yonnas and look forward to hearing more!

Everything I played last night is listed below, with a link to listen for yourself.

The Mentallo and the Fixer show was SO much fun, thanks to them for coming to Denver for the first time in two decades. The openers Shhadows and Data Void were fantastic too, a night of awesome industrial sounds and visuals!

I was on the decks before, between, and a bit after the live performances. I didn't include the after because that was just for the folks on the dance floor, but here's all the rest. A lot of these artists have no Facebook presence, but search for them on Bandcamp!
