Selector & Air wiggler

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

You might wonder what secret sauce fuels the magnetic sets of Denver DJ Peter Vaughan but it’s simple: he shows up to smile, have fun, and let the music speak. Rooted in the timeless pulse of deep house, Peter stays true to soul while remaining nimble enough to drop techno or drum and bass when the moment demands. A fixture in the city’s underground scene and no stranger to clubs like 1134 and Bar Standard, his presence behind the decks is effortlessly commanding. One track fades into another, and suddenly the dance floor is spellbound, time suspended, the rhythm alive in every breath. You glance up and there he is, grinning knowingly , the groove flowing through him like second nature.

Denver-based selector Swaan operates on a simple principle: make the air wiggle and watch the room follow. Moving fluidly across the deeper axes of house and techno, his sets are constructed with the physical architecture of the soundsystem in mind, weaving minimal percussion textures and chugging basslines to anchor the floor’s collective energy.
Driven by a deep interest in the synchronicity between the crowd and the soundscape, Swaan has built a reputation for patient, intentional warm-ups on dance floors across Philadelphia, Tahoe, Reno, Costa Rica and now Denver.
Along the way, Swaan has had the privilege of setting the foundation for respected international figures like Jay Tripwire, Anyasa, Rob Paine, Marques Wyatt, Davidson Ospina, and Ben Arsenal, consistently delivering a steady, immersive landscape for the night ahead.

5HeadedCobra (Kevin Martinez) has been a professional recording artist for several decades. His love for dance music started early, inspired by his parents’ funk and disco records and the new-wave mixtapes he made in the ’80s. That early drive to collect, curate, and blend music naturally evolved into his signature DJ style. Today, his sets combine melodic and progressive textures with funk-driven tech house and bass-house energy. The result is a punchy, hypnotic groove built to keep the dance floor moving.

Tickets are $5 presale and $7 day of show. Music starts at 9 and ends at 1.
