Colorado has become a breeding ground of electronic music. There has been a massive explosion of popularity in the genre across the country but ever since Pretty Lights, Savoy, and Big Gigantic came out of Colorado we've seen more and more up and coming talent in the area. Tonight at the Boulder Theater you can catch two new artists who are already well known in the centennial state and are on their way to becoming headline acts.
Paper Diamond has been around for a while but only recently as Paper Diamond. He was previously known as Alex B and has really honed in his producing skills as of late. Also he has made the addition of using an iPad to his deck so he is pretty mobile on stage which is way different from a traditional dj. His remixes of "Power" and "Turnin Me On," his album Levitate, and live shows has created a following in the area and he is planning on really bringing it tonight in Boulder. "We are going to treat this like a holiday. We're going to have amazing lights and sound, and build this into something cool."
Michal Menert grew up with Derek Vincent Smith of Pretty lights in Fort Collins and his music definitely reflects their friendship. Listening to Michal Menert you can hear some similarities to Pretty Lights but he has his own style that reflects his more worldly upbringing seeing how he is originally from Poland. I've been super stoked on Michal Menert since December and was truly bummed when I couldn't get anyone to go to his show at Cervantes in February. Sure enough Derek came and played with him where they debuted all of the new Pretty Lights remixes. Dom Lalli of Big Gigantic has confirmed that he'll be at the show tonight, will you?
