Illenium

Nick Miller’s 10-year run as dance producer ILLENIUM has been nothing short of astounding. From humble bass beginnings to chart-topping crossover success and more than 8 billion global streams, the ILLENIUM sound has been honed into an adrenaline-rush style that fits heartfelt ballads, growling drops, emotional acoustic moments and ecstatic explosions alike.  From his 2016 debut LP Ashes to the Grammy-nominated Fallen Embers, ILLENIUM has perfected the limitless sound that starts in his Denver studio and erupts on stages around the world. His carefully curated performances come complete with a live band and have wowed crowds at Coachella, Lollapalooza, a sold-out Madison Square Garden and three consecutive nights at Red Rocks—but that was just the lead-up to the release of his fifth album, ILLENIUM. “It's my self-titled album, so I want it to sound exactly like what is in my head," he says, "what I enjoy, what gives me escape, what makes me feel the most.” Boosted by hard-won confidence and a strong sense of self, ILLENIUM’s 16 tracks are sweeping, impactful, dynamic and never dull. It’s an album that sees him collaborate with his teenage heroes (Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne and more), and pushes his sound further than it's ever dared.  With a love of rock at its core, all the drama that goes into a stadium performance, a strong narrative, and a focus on bringing fans an enthralling escape, ILLENIUM proves to be the beginning of a new chapter for an artist in his prime.

Daily Bread

Repping from Atlanta proudly, Daily Bread – Rhett Whatley’s sonic perception – always comes with fresh ideas to give soul-stirring sounds a trenchant edge. The Philos Records resident began beat-making from his bedroom in 2014, equipped with an MPC, his massive record collection, and a background in jazz guitar. His penchant for experimenting with instruments and an intense affinity for crate-digging helped hone his craft and elevated his sound selection to new heights. The beatsmith consistently finds creative ways to meld vintage and modern sounds to construct an aural narrative that is uniquely him, bringing together nostalgically soulful melodies, gritty hip-hop hooks, and bass-driven flare into one cohesive sound.   Motivated by a goal to bring old sounds to new ears, Daily Bread has never wandered too astray from his funky pastiche. The prolific producer dropped Out There, Darkness Before Dawn, Cloud Conductor, and Divided Souls LP (with frequent collaborator Derlee) before concocting the perfect recipe with his 2018 On The Daily. Since then, Daily Bread’s trajectory has been divinely unpredictable. With merch selling out in mere minutes, vinyl being resold for hundreds of dollars, and a legion of supporters consistently waiting for Daily Bread’s next move, Whatley’s flame isn’t going out just yet. In fact, the heat only continues to rise.

Big Gigantic

Big Gigantic are veterans of blending electronic dance music with their live instruments to create Big G's truly unique sound; a sound that is as thoughtful as it is danceable. They draw light out of an inimitable mélange of impressive instrumentation, cinematic production, propulsive percussion, and, of course, triumphant saxophone. The genre-bending Denver, CO pair—Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken—uplift with every subsequent album and show, mixing musically mature melodies with addictive beats and samples that crosses all styles of music from jazz to hip hop, funk to dubstep.

Tessla

Tess and Lauren Ashley (LA) of TESSLA are a female dj / producer duo from Los Angeles, CA, who both live part time in Aspen, CO. Both coming from a dance / performance background, their music is inspired by fun, uptempo, high energy dance beats with a main goal of getting everyone on their feet and moving. Just like their dj sets are full send with live vocals, they love fully sending it on the slopes, skiing and snowboarding in their free time. They have always been huge fans of the X Games and Aspen's own - Hot Dog Hans (lol and Alex Ferreira).
