meche

Mercedes Pérez Whitman (meche) is from New Jersey and has lived in Colorado Springs for the past decade. They developed a taste for a range of musical genres throughout childhood and enjoyed burning many mix CDs, started collecting records in high school and had multiple student radio shows throughout college. In what felt like part of a natural trajectory, she bought turntables and a mixer in her final year of college and started DJing student house parties and gigs in Denver. From there she’s played at various events around town and puts up an occasional mix on Mixcloud.

Danny Mesa

Danny Mesa (he/him) is a local DJ and photographer. Originally from the Midwest, his DJ sensibility has largely been shaped by the traditions of Chicago house music and Detroit techno, but it is now in the mountains and mesas of Colorado that he finds himself transmitting the frequencies of these still-formative strains of sound. Commanding the decks with the zeal of a true music-lover, Danny Mesa lives up to the meaning of his name, always setting the table for a night of fun-loving abandonment.

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.
