This year, to celebrate their 5th Anniversary, Sub.mission Dubstep made history by bringing Deep Medi Musik in from London. From the video mapping, to the sound system, to the artists around the venue, everything came together, creating the ultimate setting to witness some of the best producers in the game perform on one stage. With massive speakers hanging, and the lights down low, the party got off to a great start with Commodo who brought up the bass levels as spectators entered the creatively decorated City Hall amphitheater.

Next up was Truth, all the way from New Zealand, taking the stage for an energetic set that kept the bass lines pumping! Every time I see them, all heads are nodding to the beat, and this was no different. They showed the entire venue why they have been making waves in the dubstep community worldwide. After Truth, Quest and Silkie blew the roof off with what was one of my favorite sets of the night; a perfect balance of both artists’ unique perspective on bass music. These guys are individually some of my favorite artists in the business, and seeing them work so well together, and command a rapidly growing crowd, was truly one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed!

V.I.V.E.K. was up next, and though I had limited knowledge of his music, I was in for a treat. I quickly realized that this might be even better than the set prior. He exhibited why he is one of the most prominent names on the Deep Medi label at this time, with a unique signature sound and style, and an energetic stage presence that got the crowd ready for the last set of the night.

That’s how the night went, a continuous transition of world-class bass music, all leading up to the main event, the main attraction, Mala!

Mala took the stage, and the entire building seemed to realize his presence. People put out their cigarettes, grabbed their last drinks, and repositioned themselves as close to the stage as possible. To explain how Mala can affect one’s sense of being, and their understanding of sub-bass music, is nearly impossible, but mystical, sometimes approaching an almost religious level of appreciation, would be close. For everyone in the building, the final set of the night was more than just a performance, it was a movement, and I think Denver is starting to get on the deeper tip when it comes to dubstep, exploring the many styles of the genre that Denver has to offer.
