DJ Ladybug @fordeerlife got her gears grooving in Denver at Garageland in 2003 at a benefit for Breakdown Anarchist Book Collective, spinning mostly post punk and no wave.

She later joined the Club Smash crew hosting all ages dance parties at the now defunct Climax Lounge, branching out further into dance music. Since then she has made appearances at GaysHateTechno, Ever Afters, Katabatik & Honcho campouts.

She has also performed live as Piano Rain and spun at Club Chai, MutekSF, the Stud, the Smell (LA), Cake Shop (NYC), Whole Festival & Room4Resistance for Berlin Pride. She has shared the stage with William Basinski, Plaid, Xiu Xiu, Survive, The Space Lady & Laurel Halo to name a few.

Come catch @fordeerlife as she opens the night for us with style and grace. This Saturday @glob____ by @hand_selected_denver_

Denver,

Please join us Friday evening on September 25th @thevinylreset for an evening of local selectors. This is a free gathering to support one of our local vinyl shops that keeps the culture alive and growing.

We value our record shops. There is nothing like digging in stacks and finding a gem. New to you and something you never would have found otherwise. All thanks to the people behind these stores. To run a record stop takes dedication and love. We are grateful to them.

Vinyl is our love. We love the artwork on the sleeves, the engagement one has when playing it. Once you get the itch, it becomes a life long obsession.

Come one, come all. Let’s dig, dance and catch up.
Hope to see you there.

Local artist of the evening will be:
@breakeven_productions
@irvngadil_
@kaceysolis
@toadzunt
@mean.joe.d

Music will start at 8pm and go to 1am. Bring your own beverages. We will have some free snacks.
Again this is free but we hope you will come dig and find some new gems for the collection.

Support those that help keep the music flowing and the culture growing. 🌀❤️ by @hand_selected_denver_

@das_it____ has made a lasting imprint in Chicago with @buenviaje_djs who create intimate and connected dance floors at their Whistler residency and beyond. In his own project, DAS pushes a little deeper with infinite blends of introspective, brooding sounds. His digs have earned a spot as an @atm_records.cph resident, and slots at renowned clubs like Smartbar.

DAS showcases his range on this mix, traversing across genres with ease while keeping a cohesive flow. We hope you enjoy the ride. 🌀✨

Liza Spinnelli @toadzunt is no stranger to rocking a party. She came up in the Chicago party scene of the late 90’s and that influence is solidly reflected in her music.

She describes her sound as microhouse with a dash of diva, booty-shakin’ basslines and a hefty dose of weird. Anthems will get unabashedly thrown in because they shouldn’t live only in the collective memory of Gen X party kids.

The Chicago flavor is unmistakable but she chases some of those peculiar noises that are very reminiscent of DnB and electro. She is the matriarch for “ House in the burbs” @burbshousemusic party series located here in Denver.

This is the live recording of her all vinyl set at our party on May 16th, 2026. The vibe in Glob was electric ⚡️and bodies were moving. Liza is a master of the craft, selector and a genuine being that we adore. We are honored to archive this special evening. Enjoy! ❤️

Beautiful from start to finish.

@dystopik__ mad props for the visual journey and live VG skills. Denver is very lucky to have you in it. Pleasure working with you. Let’s do it again soon.

@t_shockley thanks for coming out to Denver with the selections. Deep digger and mixes with intention. It was great to finally get you out here. 💚

@spike_stephens with the master eye. 👀📸 Thanks for all you do. We appreciate you. Great shots as always!

Denver,

Join us this Friday night for a special evening of cerebral sounds.

We are honored to showcase one of Denver’s finest - @caveweapons

@caveweapons is a pseudonym of Luke Thinnes, a veteran of Denver’s DIY scene. His sound is informed by fringe electronic acts, spanning from 80’s cassette culture to barely extant private press experiments.

With releases on Slagwerk, 100% Silk and West Mineral Ltd, he has covered a broad range of textural and rhythmic idiosyncrasy, and is energized by eluding expectations at all possible junctures.

Luke will be opening the portal of the evening and aligning our chakras with his homegrown ambient soundscape. One of a kind and not to be missed. 💚

Come early and take a trip with us.

Denver,

We will be gathering @glob____ next Friday and our special guest is @t_shockley🌱

Curator of @____biome and an expert digger. We already know this evening is going to be special.

Taylor Shockley is a Philadelphia-based DJ/producer/label operator from Florida with 15 years
of experience performing and working behind the scenes at events along the east coast. His hypnotic style pulls inspiration from nature, futurism, technology, and the human psyche. Expect to take a trip in Taylor’s world of sounds.

We hope to share the dancefloor with you. ❤️

As always, thanks for the love and support.

Denver,

We are calling all shakers and groovers to the dancefloor for an evening of cerebral sounds on June 26th.

Our special guest @t_shockley is a Philadelphia-based DJ/producer/label operator from Florida with 15 years
of experience performing and working behind the scenes at events along the east coast.

His hypnotic style pulls inspiration from nature, futurism, technology, and the human psyche.
Taylor is a resident for the collective @vyoo_official in Boston, as well as his own event series and label, @____biome .

In the past, he has played on bills with the likes of Jane Fitz, Carlos Souffront, S.O.N.S, Helena Hauff, DJ Koolt, Spekki Webu, Dan Curtin, Tin Man, Carl H, Evan Baggs, Vera, DJ Masda, Nicolas Lutz, tINI and Christian AB. We are thrilled to host him and are looking forward to hearing what’s in the bag.

Opening the evening will be @caveweapons - Artist is a word that generally extends to anyone dabbling in art or music, but true artists are too busy creating to be worried about how they’re received. Luke is a prime example. When he’s not busy providing a safe space for Denver’s underground (all genres), letting people into his home @glob____ , he’s locked in to one of his many guises (Sleepdial, Cave Weapons, Tabla Rasa) producing ambient and IDM in a style all his own.
Truly a talent and contributor to the Denver underground, we are honored to showcase Luke’s powerful and moving sound as Cave Weapons.

Our resident @derekpoten will be the bridge between soundscapes.

Hope to connect on the next dancefloor.
