Denver EDM: A Guide

Denver is known for being the “Bass Capital” of the world for the heavy emphasis on bass music, but there is so much more going on here than just dubstep. I’ve put together a guide for where to check out great music in Denver. Whether you live here or you’re just visiting, this guide will help you navigate the city for the best music in town!

Rave culture was founded on the principles of PLUR (Peace, Love Unity, and Respect) and that all are welcome. One of the wonderful aspects of going to raves is the ability to express yourself through fashion and your unique style. The fashion culture, especially in the rave community, that has blossomed over the years has given many people in the LGBTQ+ rave community the courage to be whomever they want to be despite social norms, stigmas, and outdated traditions. These stories are incredibly touching and have inspired us to create the Pride AF collection - a collection that celebrates diversity within our community.  Continue Reading
