As usual, the night will have solid support, featuring the likes of option4, Vanish, WERQ, and Fun Factory. Since TheHundred is non-profit, tickets are always cheap, so cover is only $6. The party gets started at 9PM. Get there early before it packs out to avoid being left out in the cold! You can RSVP on Facebook here.

I've been excited about this one for a long time and if you love house music, you should be too. When it comes to electronic music, I'm a sucker for French house, so when a legendary producer and DJ from that genre comes to town, I definitely take notice. The Summit Music hall will be hosting exactly that this weekend on Saturday, September 8th with a special live set from Fred Falke.


French producer Fred Falke got his start in the music realm as a funk bass player in the mid 1990s. He turned to electronic production towards the end of the decade, the same time now prolific and influential French house artists like Daft Punk and Cassius were churning out next level fuel for the dance floor. He began collaborating with Alan Braxe - the same producer that collaborated with Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter to create the now classic "Music Sounds Better With You" under the name Stardust - and the pair went on to create a slew of quality releases throughout most of the 2000s. Fred Falke has also put out a steady stream of solo work and in-demand remixes, along with other notable collaborations with Kris Menace.



Fred Falke's latest solo work is Part IV, a full length album of productions that embraces the millennial French house sound wrapped around the signature touch Fred Falke has maintained over the years and is sought after for - it may be his first solo LP, but by no means is it his first rodeo. What makes Fred Falke's show this weekend special, aside from his pedigree as an accomplished producer, is he will be performing a rare live set that will show off his capability as a bass player as he simultaneously DJs - definitely a sight to see considering the way Fred Falke craftily drives his productions with infectious bass lines.


Before the main event, a stable of local Denver DJs will warm up the dance floor: option4, Jinro, Collin McKenna, Matt Ferry and Vanish. Currently a hot name in the local DJ scene for what he does for house music both behind the decks and off them, DJ/producer option4 (TheHundred, Lipgloss, Discotheque Collective) will lay down a house music set hot on the heels of his EP release To The Night. I have a hard time writing about myself in third person - so I'll just say Jinro will be there. Collin McKenna, a DJ who has been flexing his taste-making muscles on Star Stuff Scallywags will also be gracing the decks. Matt Ferry will be bringing the latest heat, thanks to his ties to Beatport. Vanish, option4's label mate on Velcro City Records, rounds out the opening lineup.



The party takes place at The Summit Music hall on Saturday, September 8th. The show is all ages and the doors open at 8:00PM. Tickets are $15 in advance or $18 the day of the show. Tickets and more information are available online here, or contact Concerted Effort to get hard copy advance tickets without any service charges if you live in the Denver area!

Last month's TheHundred party with Christian Martin

Into its ninth month and showing no signs of slowing down, TheHundred is back again this weekend with another sure-to-be sweltering dance party, this time right at midsummer. They key to TheHundred's success thus far has been providing hot up-and-coming acts with local talent to create an atmosphere filled with good vibes for large, dance hungry, house music loving crowds. This weekend's lineup is no exception and should prove to be another night to remember.

The headliner is Moon Boots, a representative of the excellent French Express record label. Moon Boots' repertoire consists of nu-disco originals and remixes that are tailor made for hot summer nights. True to his name, Moon Boots creates dance music that pairs a futuristic spaced out feel with weightless ease - veritable rocket fuel for the dance floor. Check out "Got Somebody".


Also joining the lineup is Chicago based via New York DJ Lani Love. Also a fashion blogger, Lani Love incorporates her eye for style and eclecticism in her music selection, bringing that same dose of personality into her sets. The result is something fresh and infectious that'll keep people crowding the dance floor. Check out this Lani Love spring mixtape.


The local support for this hot night of dancing starts with TheHundred founder option4, who will get the night started with a mood setting deep house set before getting the sweat flowing later in the night with some summertime house music. Jinro will keep the party going with nu-disco and bouncy, funky grooves. Hollagramz will keep the party going with a DJ set that shows off the versatility of the acclaimed local experimental electronic group.




Be sure to get to Beauty Bar early, as TheHundred parties are known to reach capacity. The fun begins this Saturday, July 28 at 9:00PM. The show is 21+ and entry is only $6! RSVP on Facebook here!

For those who've been along for the ride, it probably seems like it was just yesterday that TheHundred, Denver's premier non-profit monthly house music dance party, filled the dance floor for the first time. Now six months later, TheHundred is here to stay, and is celebrating the only way TheHundred knows how - with another amazing party. Over the past half year, the TheHundred has thrown packed-out events at Beauty Bar by bringing in up and coming talent, along with presenting a handful of other wildly successful shows around town. In celebration of TheHundred's six month anniversary, the formula stays the same, which means people who come to this event are in for one incredible night.


This month's headliner is Bit Funk, a Brooklyn based producer and DJ brought to Denver for the first time by TheHundred. No stranger to the game, Bit Funk's handle of synth-laden disco and indie dance has taken his talents from coast to coast to various clubs and festival showcases and has had his tracks featured on major dance labels like Hed Kandi and Defected. His style is well suited to perpetuate the good vibe and groove atmosphere that has become synonymous with TheHundred. Check out Bit Funk's rework of Rachel Lamb's "Electricity".


TheHundred's founder and resident DJ at Lipgloss, Denver's "Best Dance Institution" (Westword) will lay down a couple sets to kick the party off and keep the heat going later in the night. At the beginning of the night, option4 will keep things smooth and sexy with an early deep house set to get the crowd in the mood. Then when the party is in full swing, option4 will put together a house set to keep the sweat flowing. Check out option4's latest mixtape, "The Movement Vol. 1".


Not only does TheHundred import talent from across the country and beyond, TheHundred supports the local scene as well. Two of the local supporting acts are making return appearances to TheHundred, and as members of TheHundred themselves they know exactly what to deliver in their sets. Expect Jinro (who just may be writing this in the third person) and Collin McKenna to put together groovy house and nu-disco that'll get the crowd working the dance floor. Roger That, now back in Denver after a stint in Berlin, will get things going with a deep house set of his own. Check out mixes from each of these three down below.


The party starts at the Beauty Bar at 9:00PM and will go straight up to closing time. The event is 21+ and tickets are only $6 at the door. You'll want to get to this party early if you don't want to be stuck outside, because TheHundred is known to take the Beauty Bar to capacity.

TheHundred is back again and the first party of the new year is going to be big. TheHundred is now into its third installment, and after a successful launch and sophomore effort, TheHundred is proving that the hype is real. Come to Beauty Bar on Saturday, January 28, as this month's party is a double headliner event featuring visiting and local talent. Local support from members within TheHundred round out this strong lineup, essentially guaranteeing another memorable night.


The first headliner is Kris Barman, one of the members of Innerpartysystem. Innerpartysystem may have gone on hiatus, but Kris Barman has stayed busy producing music and dropping DJ sets. He'll be bringing a house set sure to ignite the dance floor that should feature a range of styles. Expect him to mix hard house, disco, throw in a few mash-ups, and incorporate some of his own original remixes and productions. Check out his mixtape from last fall.

The second headliner is Weaponry from Chicago. Weaponry is a veteran Chicago DJ, really making strides in the city over the past five years. He's held down residencies at People Lounge and Uptown Lounge, and is coming to Denver to share his ability to rock parties. Although he can mix a variety of styles, expect a mixture of deep house and disco that will get the crowd grooving. Check out his Hot Bizzies Mix #13.

For local support, TheHundred founder will take the decks both early and later on in the night. True to his style, option4 will be putting together mixes of smooth grooves. Early on expect music that's a little deeper and sexier to get the crowd warmed up, while later on he'll pick up the pace to get the dance floor boiling. Check out "The Revenge of option4" mix.

Ginger Perry is a DJ that's been all over the Denver scene, making her first appearance at TheHundred. Ginger Perry is extremely versatile, known to mix a variety of styles - everything from dance inducing house to laid back downtempo and anything in between. Expect her to lay down a solid house mix to keep the party going. Check out the variety of styles she has going in her "Last Brunch of 2011" mix.

Jinro a local DJ making his Denver debut. He does mash-up mixes and his interest in music caused him to create the Concerted Effort blog. That's right - I'm Jinro.
