Libuše

Libuše is a name that implies vision, potential, and growth, as borrowed from Czech mythology where it names a princess who is said to have foreseen the construction of the city of Prague. For DJ & Producer Gwen Kubik, the alias of Libuše brings these concepts from her family’s Czech heritage and incorporates them into her art and music as an affirmation of what she seeks to represent with her compositions and performances alike. With her roots in Denver’s Drum & Bass scene, Libuše’s DJ sets now glide beyond genre to blend together all of the music that she loves as she imbues the dancefloors she plays with an eclectic energy all her own. As a proud trans woman, Libuše further works with a number of collectives to help ensure there is thriving space for Denver’s queer music scene and drag underground. A DJ set by Libuše is sure to touch on a range of tonalities with a consistent sense of levity, even as she delivers the low-frequency sonic sequences within which she has long made her home.
