Denver-based DMVU is a master of auditory manipulation. Conjuring sounds from different dimensions and translating them into a frequency that us simple earthlings can appreciate. Connecting with Wakaan for his newest project The Chain, the 8-track effort is nothing short of brain-bending. The introduction ‘Erythraeum’ welcomes listeners to a dystopian world in the not-so-distant future. The earth is no longer…

Great Dane is back with a bang(er). ‘75% alcohol’ is raw and rugged but still goes down so damn smooth. The first single off Dane’s upcoming Consider The Source sets the tone and the bar very high.

Their most recent release ‘Reflection’ was a vibey house groove while their previous release ‘Hold On’ was a pop-leaning future bass bop. While their music doesn’t miss, we feel they’re at…

From boundary-pushing compilations, to projects from veterans and up-and-coming talents alike, there isn’t much that Halcyon does that isn’t worthy of praise.
