TMN Presents
Aaron Bordas @ Larimer Lounge - Denver, CO

Over the past five years in the city of Denver, we’ve had the pleasure of putting on some of the most memorable and eclectic slate of electronic, indie, rock and hip-hop shows that the Mile High City has ever seen under the ‘TMN Presents’ banner. From bands and artists including the likes of Hayden James, The Knocks, Small Black, Teen Daze, Autre Ne Veut, ASTR and loads more; it was high time that we shifted our focus to the bevy of incredible local talent that Denver and Colorado as a whole have to offer. And so, it is with great anticipation that we unveil our next ‘TMN Presents’ night as we bring ascending Denver based Techno/House producer & DJ Aaron Bordas with special guests Robotic Pirate Monkey to the always welcoming and ultra raucous Larimer Lounge on Friday, September 21st.

With numerous local accolades under his banner and opening credits under some of electronic music’s most exciting names across a slew of genres, Aaron Bordas has rapidly risen from an excellent main-support act to a formidable headlining force in not just his home city, but the Western U.S. as a whole. 2017 saw the budding artist headline numerous clubs, enrapturing droves of fans in the process while pushing the boundaries of his production catalog as well with a release on Quite Right and two more in 2018 “11:16” and “Memory Lapse” in collaboration with fellow Colorado producer Dynohunter. The head of Aaron’s hypebeast is surely his excellent track curation and buzzed about shows, which have us and those who have witnessed a DJ set so excited for this show. To tune your ears in advance of our next showcase, be sure to check out Bordas’ mix series Reason and eclectically selected live sets as well.

It wouldn’t be a ‘TMN Presents’ night without at least a few of our fellow Ninjas in the building, so we’re gearing up to give away not one, but TWO pairs of tickets to Aaron Bordas’ show on September 21st, and entering is beyond simple. Just comment below (click on this post if you’re still on our front page) with the tagged friend that you’d want to take and BOOM, you’re entered. For those who’d rather guarantee their entry, to which we HIGHLY recommend, grab your tickets from the link provided here. Until then, stream “As We Are” by Aaron Bordas above, help us spread the word, and we’ll see you all on the floor!

Oooooh boy, Finland’s firey talent Alisky dropped his debut single recently and it’s a hot one. The collaboration with IOLITE called “Traces” has us putting Alisky high on our lists of artists to watch. In one fell swoop he grabs our ears with both hands and forces us to pay attention to his talents.

It’s always great to see a new act debut and “Traces” couldn’t have been a better first step for the producer. He sets his tone with a dynamic house record that is as danceable as it is delightful. It starts off quick and doesn’t pull any punches for its entirety. “Traces” is a must have, so add it to your library today.

[Electronic] Mickey Kojak – Get Out

Posted by Tyler Trew - June 27, 2018

Australia’s Mickey Kojak went retro with his newest single “Get Out.” You won’t be leaving this one anytime soon as “Get Out” is a completely mesmerizing hit. Although we were loving his covers, it’s nice to hear Mickey jump on an original.

“Get Out” pulls from a variety of genres and eras and sews all the little pieces together into one beautiful piece. The single feels like it could have been released in the 70’s or 80’s only to stand the test of time as a song we continue to jam out to it today. Although it’s not a classic in that sense, it very well could be given time.

Just a few days ago the Swedish producer Allertz dropped the new single “Brave” to the world. It is one of the many releases that are signaling the shift of sound to the more Spring/Summer friendly vibe. Although it’s among a stream of releases of people readying for the season, this one is among the top.

“Brave” shares an indie dance sound that is perfect for the upcoming pool parties – don’t be surprised if this one shows up while you’re at Miami Music Week if you happen to be going. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Allertz, but he’s coming back extremely strong with this original. We’re looking forward to more from him this year, a year that could be a big one for him!

There’s so much music out there it’s hard to keep track of it all, which is why you come to us, but even we’re not perfect. We let this little gem by BOiCE and Feline slide by us since its release about a month ago, but now we’re sharing “Soaking Lovers” with you.

Together these creatives hit us with a smooth indie dance treasure released on One of Us Records. Its unique style is instantly captivating, grabbing hold of your ears with an effortlessly fierce grip. “Soaking Lovers” is a great record for this time of year with its subtly dark sound. To get away from the cold and the aches and pains of normal life, cuddle up and throw this one on repeat! Want a copy? Grab one from digital stores today.

You won’t be letting go of Nightcall’s new single anytime soon. The duo’s original “Let You Go” is a magnificent piece of feel-good house music. They do everything right from top to bottom, bringing in acoustic elements into the mix alongside delectable electronic ones.

“Let You Go” drives forth with a chilled vigor, a sense of cool that is not an easy thing to manifest in a song. On top of the bustling beat, a strong vocal topline will be heard and chances are high you’ll be singing along to it. 2018 has just started and we’re putting this near the top of our favorites list so far. Expect more to come as “Let You Go” is Nightcall’s debut single!

Without fail, Hotel Garuda has demonstrated a mastery of making music you can groove to, and their latest collaboration with Lemaitre fits the bill yet again. “Dancing On The Moon” marks the duo’s first release with the NYC-based record label Mom + Pop and manages to inject a little bit of summer swagger into our playlists as we head into the winter. No matter the weather, these four have constructed a lively coalescence of pop, nu-disco, and house that can instantly brighten up your day the moment you hit play. The funk is strong with this one, and “Dancing On The Moon” finds Hotel Garuda at a point in their career where it truly feels like they are making the music they’ve wanted to create all along. On top of the new release, they’ve already begun their Dancing On The Moon tour with support from SAINT WKND, GEOTHEORY, Kidswaste, and Daktyl, so be sure to catch them in your city on the dates below!
