Hey /r/ Denver. I'm trying to find a club or lounge around here where they play good electronic dance music, preferably house -- and no top 40, shitty rap or played-out club jams. Is there such a place?

There are alot of places!!! Really depends on the night that you go too. Tonight Larimer lounge or Cervantes is a good place to head. Opal, the Hive, Cervantes, The Drink, Beta all have good electronic nights, you just have to look at their listings and go from there.. they usually have a dedicated night per genre...

Beta and Norad are my favorite spots, but it all really depends on the night. The crews that generally provide the music and parties that I'm into are: P.U.N.C.H.I.S. Awesome Factory Roots Afterhours Anonymous

Sidewaysfive.net is also a good resource for finding out about the happenings in the Denver electronic music scene.

NORAD this Friday for aux 88 if you like Detroit techno

NIcole Submission does electronic/dub with lots of folks every Monday night for free at Cervantes other side

I'm a huge fan of The Hive. Norad is really fun as well.

beta is the shit. i just went sat and never had a bad experience. they have the f1 sound system which is over 500,000 dollars and has AC with two different dance lounges

Cervantes is always a party, or just check out the shows at venues like the ogden. Over the next couple of weeks Opiou, Vibesquad, Paper Diamond and a bunch of other people are all playing shows!

EDIT: spelling

Check out NORAD on Friday nights. They've got better sound and booking agents than just about any other establishment in the city.

In terms of straight up underground house and techno music I personally prefer NORAD or the Beatport Lounge on Friday nights by P.U.N.C.H.I.S. and the after hours stuff on the weekends. Crews to watch out for in terms of legit music: Treehouse Collective, Afterhours Anonymous, Awesome Factory and Mahesh Presents.

All the places I go have been mentioned so.... PLUR.

2am on 12th and broadway

Oh, honey, you are in one of the best locations for music currently in existence. Amon Tobin did a DJ set at Larimer Lounge after his opera house show. Read all venues listed by others, check schedules.

Personally, Cervantes is like a second home.

Oh, but seriously, fuck everything about Beta. Those assholes want nothing more than to see patrons arrested. Unless you're really into drinking with sweaty bros, in that case have at it.

Cervantes looks the other way on anything except cigarette smoking. Take that outside!

Maybe check sub.mission out. (local promoters)

Denver has a great local scene.

Also, check out Sonic Bloom and related festivals.
