On the heels of his annual Halloween Mix (on of our favorite drops every year) RL is on the road for his NOVA world tour. At his 1st Bank Center appearance in Colorado, RL had the whole building lit. Flexing a brand new elevating stage set up unlike any set up we’ve seen, RL Grime reminded us why he’s one of the most respected DJ’s in the game with an epic performance blending Trap, Hip Hop, and a variety of bass music genres.
Action Bronson is one of our favorite weed smoking entertainers in the world right now, and he was in our home state of Colorado this week, so it was only right that we caught his show at the Boulder Theater.

Diplo’s Mad Decent Block Party is always a blast, and this year was no exception. We caught the Colorado stop of the tour at Red Rocks that featured Slumberjack, Valentino Khan, Cheat Codes, Alison Wonderland, Cashmere Cat, and of course, Major Lazer to close out the night. There was ups and downs, and we have our personal preferences (Alison Wonderland killed it) but overall Major Lazer reminded everyone whose show it really was, with a huge display of lights, LED screens, dancers, cannons, money throwing and other debauchery we’ve come to expect from Diplo and his crew. Check out the mayhem if you missed it, or catch the block party in your city. Images captured by Blake Jackson.
