Global Dance

Last year, Knife Party exploded into the electronic music scene with their debut EP '100% No Modern Talking', receiving over 500,000 downloads and cementing the duo as one of the most innovative artists in the industry. Today, Knife Party released their second EP 'Rage Valley' on Beatport,  featuring four tracks of ear-shattering sound:  Rage Valley', 'Centipede', 'Bonfire', and 'Sleaze feat. Mistajam'. Make sure you turn your speakers up for this one and prepare yourself for 4 tracks of dancefloor-demolishing bangers. The EP will be available on all other digital retailers on Monday, June 4th.

Blending elements of virtually every genre and injecting some seriously pounding bass, Knife Party's productions and DJ sets possess all the right elements to whip any audience into a dance floor frenzy. We are very excited to host them for their first Colorado appearance Friday of Global Dance Festival! Make sure you give the EP a listen for a taste of the madness to come.

More Info On Global Dance Festival

This past Friday, we made history with the very first all dubstep festival to take over Red Rocks Amphitheatre: Global Dub Festival! The event sold out over a week in advance, packing out the rocks with over 10,000 dubstep enthusiasts. The festival was nothing short of mayhem, with Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, Datsik, Downlink, and Dirtyloud turning up the bass at the amphitheatre like never before!

The sold out event is indicative of how strong the demand for dubstep in Colorado has become in the past few years, as well as how much the dance community has grown in strength and size in general. Colorado's undying support for electronic music is tremendous and it only seems to be gaining momentum as the years go on. Global Dance Festival began as a modest event with a little over 1,000 attendees and has since grown to be Colorado's biggest dance music event that people travel to from all over the country. It is a celebration of our culture and an opportunity to experience dance music in one of the world's most breath-taking settings.  

2012 has already been a landmark year for dance music in Colorado, starting with Decadence NYE. As the first electronic music event to take place at the Colorado Convention Center, the sold out event propelled dance music to new heights, which was further cemented with the massive success of Global Dub Festival. As we push further into the year, our excitement for the 10th anniversary of Global Dance Festival continues to grow. Tickets are selling faster than ever this year and we are gearing up for the biggest GDF in history. 

The first Global event of the year sold out, so we encourage you to purchase tickets for Global Dance Festival as soon as possible so you do not risk missing out! If you loved Global Dub Festival, be sure to check out the lineup for Sunday of Global Dance Festival, featuring a full set of heavy-hitters in dubstep, including Excision, Zeds Dead, Kill The Noise, and more!
