Denver house music lovers gathered at Summit on Saturday night for the last leg of Kyle Watson’s My Machines Tour. This was his first tour in the US since 2018. For the past decade, Kyle Watson has cultivated a unique and captivating brand of house music, combining signature bass lines, heavy drums, and riveting sound design. In the My Machines Tour, Kyle Watson showcased all original sounds, including his unreleased work. At the final show, he was joined by CJ, Miss Dre, and Chapter and Verse for a curated variety of house music.
CJ
Denver local CJ wasted no time kicking off the night with high-energy house music and an equally infectious stage presence. It’s hard not to smile while watching CJ bounce around behind the decks. The dance floor started to fill up early in the evening, with the crowd’s energy mirroring CJ’s while dancing to disco and house beats. The Denver house music scene’s love and appreciation for CJ were loud and proud throughout his set.
Miss Dre
Next up on the set list, the multifaceted Miss Dre transitioned the crowd from groovy house edits to a heavy dose of driving baselines and techno beats. Based out of the Bay Area, Miss Dre is known for her stunning vocals and as a fierce DJ/producer. She’s garnered the support of several house music staples such as Gene Faris, Justin Martin, and J. Worra.
Doing what she does best, she had the crowd in the palm of her hand with her no-nonsense mixing style. By the end of Miss Dre’s set, the venue was close to full. Her sound brought a fresh variation to the night while still satisfying the house craving Kyle Watson fans came for.
Chapter and Verse
Later in the night, Chapter and Verse took over for Miss Dre, taking the energy from deep, pronounced bass lines to crisp tech house. Chapter and Verse released his first single in 2020 and has since become one of the fastest-rising UK producers in the scene. He’s received accolades from the likes of Sonny Fedora and Gorgon City.
Known for his masterful production, Chapter and Verse did not disappoint on Saturday night by bringing forward exceptionally clean mixing. He kept the crowd moving with timeless vocals enveloped by hi-hats and bass drums. The feel-good club vibe you’d find on a Vegas getaway was the perfect segway for the main act.
Kyle Watson’s Last Set on His My Machine Tour
From South Africa, Kyle Watson created his unique sound within the house music industry. By releasing music on labels such as This Ain’t Bristol and Dirtybird Records. With nods from Diplo and Chris Lake, Kyle Watson’s music broke out of South Africa reaching dance floors internationally.
At the peak of the evening, Kyle Watson took the stage at Summit in Denver to deliver what his fans have grown to know and crave. Throughout his two-hour set, Kyle left none of his trademark sounds behind. The set intertwined unreleased and fan-favorite stylings that have sold out crowds worldwide.
Kyle Watson’s passion for his music was shining through the smile he wore for his whole set of purely original music. Never wavering from his eminent sound, the crowd never stopped moving as he played new and unreleased music and edits, classic tracks from his 2018 album “Into The Morning,” and more.
Marking the end of the My Machine’s Tour at Summit in Denver, Kyle Watson returns to South Africa at the end of this month. Hopefully, Kyle Watson doesn’t wait another four years to tour the United States again. You can keep up with him on his website and socials listed below.

Malaa Throws Down for His Biggest Show Yet in Denver
Malaa Throws Down for His Biggest Show Yet in Denver
The French producer and DJ known as Malaa has become one of the biggest names in house music. G-house, to be exact. This producer is a part of Tchami’s Confession Label and has been pumping out tracks for the past seven years. On Spotify alone, Malaa has over 1.3 million monthly listeners! Some of his most notorious tracks (see what we did there?) include “Notorious,” “Revolt” featuring Jacknife, and “Made In France” with DJ Snake, Tchami, and Mercer.
Malaa‘s identity is unknown, as this mysterious performer wears a black balaclava on stage and doesn’t speak into the microphone during his sets. On September 30th, Malaa released his debut album, Don Malaa. This 14-track album includes just under 45 minutes of dance-worthy deep house music. The album also contains a handful of collaborations with talented artists, including Fivio Foreign, Jadakiss, Ghostface Killah, and more.
The Don Malaa Album Tour
On Saturday, October 1st, house-heads traveled to the Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado, to see Malaa for themselves. The Don Malaa tour is Malaa‘s most extensive tour to date and touches down in cities across the United States. Also on the lineup for the show were RC3 and Wax Motif.
RC3
Attendees wasted no time filling the venue to see RC3 kick off the night. This producer and DJ are local to the Denver area. He has played alongside artists, including John Summit, Jauz, and Loud Luxury. In addition to this, he’s also played at Global Dance Festival! During his set, he was able to get the crowd energized and ready for the night. RC3 played some crowd favorites that everyone was familiar with, along with brand-new unreleased tunes. He even brought out Masteria as a special guest!
Wax Motif
Australian producer and DJ Wax Motif, was next to take the stage. Although his style of music can be classified as G-house, he draws inspiration from R&B, disco, UK bass, and more. Throughout the years, he’s had releases on various record labels, such as Tchami’s Confession and Diplo’s Mad Decent. He recently released his highly anticipated 17-track debut album, House of Wax.
During his set, Wax Motif stood behind a DJ booth that had a small screen for visuals in front of it where his logo flashed in bright colors. “Bunda” with Dances With White Girls was one of the first tracks he played, which got the entire crowd dancing. By now, the venue seemed at capacity already. At one point, Wax Motif stopped the music and was overwhelmed by everyone cheering for him, but he deserved it!
Malaa
During a brief set change, the crew unveiled brand new production; let us tell you; it did not disappoint. The large set almost mimicked an abandoned building with portions of chain link fence, bricks, and graffiti-looking artwork. Where the windows would be, there were large LED screens that flashed changing visuals throughout the show. Malaa wore his black balaclava, of course, and a red leather jacket.
Throughout the night, Malaa played classic tracks of his, such as “Notorious” along with remixes of other popular tracks like “Drugs From Amsterdam” by Mau P. Additionally, he played a bunch of new tracks from Don Malaa. The crowd went absolutely wild for tracks like “Hypnotic” and “How it is“. Cryo and colorful lights added to the experience. The crowd didn’t even dissipate until his set was about over, and it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves.
Denver Went Deep
The Don Malaa tour was simply unforgettable. Debuting brand new stage production for his largest Denver show yet, Malaa brought the heat yet again. After the show, he even took to social media to share how special the show was. He was super impressed that everyone knew the brand new songs from the album that just came out! Every single artist on the lineup did a stellar job at engaging the crowd and filling the venue with G-house music.
