Kazmo's Continues to Bring
Irie Nights to Denver
Denver, Co
Kazmo's Nightclub in downtown Denver
has seen its share of challenges along the way, but its owner, Victor
Gomez, has not wavered in his continued efforts to bring positive Reggae
music to his lounge just off downtown each and every Saturday night.
Repeated challenges have
included multiple promoters, ego and financial issues arising from talent
and these same promoters, and the continued struggle that is, as one
reggae promoter has said, the enigma of trying to make reggae stick in
Denver.
Spellbinder,
a local reggae celebrity, has become the host of Irie Nights, providing a
face and energy unparalleled throughout Denver. "Spellbinder
is a great boost of energy all through the night," Jeff Laurita, a
regular visitor to Kazmo's has
repeatedly said. "The music that the various DJ's play, along with
Spellbinder, creates a
great atmosphere that I shall return to regularly."
Over the past 12 months, some
of Denver's hottest DJ's has been seen to come through
Kazmo's. DJ Uplifter, who migh
have been seen opening up for ReggaeMovement.com's Anniversary show with
Steel Pulse, has made repeated appearances, and Youthman Promotions,
Bloodpreshah, and Rankin' Sound, all Denver area DJ's, can be seen on any
given Saturday Night.
Dedicated to a Roots format,
Kazmo's provides a lounge feel in an
intimate atmosphere. Roots Reggae can be heard every Saturday night,
with regular giveaways, new features each week, and a fresh approach to
the DJ night. Kazmo's is located at
1341 Kalamath, at the corner of 14th and Kalamath just off the Auraria
Campus in Denver, Co.
