5 Artists You Can’t Miss At Decadence NYE Colorado

For electronic music fans in the Southwestern United States, no New Year’s Eve event compares to Decadence NYE in Denver, Colorado. In case the cutting-edge production values and otherworldly installations aren’t enough to make it the kind of affair that you and your friends would remember for a lifetime, though, this year’s edition arguably features a stronger lineup than any of the previous installations. Where in years past, artists like Pretty Lights, Krewella, Claude VonStroke and Wolfgang Gartner drew sizeable enough crowds to the grandiose expanse of the Colorado Convention Center, the fifth edition will showcase artists of a caliber that Denver’s discerning music fan base has deserved from a New Year’s Eve massive for much longer - and this time at a different venue, City Hall.

Seattle-based midtempo/downtempo/really-hard-to-categorize duo ODESZA are no newcomers to the Colorado music scene. During their early 2015 tour alone, for instance, they played three different gigs in the Centennial State and returned to Denver as recently as October.

Nonetheless, between their rich aural dreamscapes and their improvisational use of live controllers during their sets, ODESZA stand out as one of the most engaging and respectable acts to surface as a result of the EDM movement.

What So Not

It seemed like the end of What So Not when one half of the outfit (which most critics speculated to have been the better half, at that) called it quits to pursue his own project full time. If what the duo just released as their last effort together is any indication, though, What So Not still has a bright future ahead as Emoh Instead carries on the group’s legacy while Flume works on his solo career.

The Gemini EP accomplished everything that What So Not has always been capable of, but without trying to recapture the glory of a bygone era. Seeing as how it’s been less than two weeks since its release, fans can expect to be treated to its genre-bending rhythms during What So Not’s main stage set.
