Shortly there-after, he met a fellow DJ named Diverse, and soon joined Turbo Alliance.

Named Westword Magazine's top DJ:::

2007 - Critics Choice

2009 - Critics & Fan Choice

Resident of Beta Nightclub (Best New Club - Club World Awards /#2 US Club in the US, #19 in the World - DJMAG.com), His Saturday night FUNhouse residency remains one of the top destination spots for house and progressive music in the nation.

His popularity has also brought him to the forefront of many legendary events across the U.S. including Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Electric Daisy Carnival, Caffeine Tour, Skylab, Coors Light Mountain Jams, and Global Dance Festival.

Continuing to increase his presence, Dragon alongside studio partner Jontron, have been making a mark with their recent work. With high profile releases on Ultra Record, Black Hole Records and more to remixing high profile talents like BT, Kaskade, Tiesto, Afrojack and La Roux, the duo have started to build a solid foundation of production.

Outside of clubs and studio, Dragon can be heard on the airwaves with his weekly radio station on 93.3 KTCL (area93.com) as well as his monthly iTunes podcast "Dragon's Sound Project".

Ecotek's passion for Electronic Underground music started back in the early 90's when he became the resident Dj on Saturdays at the legendary club,Amsterdam After Hours, for 6 consecutive years, creating a reputation for a complete control of the dance floor with his Seamless mixing, Driving beats and Uplifiting sounds.
Today Ecotek has been busy in the studio producing music under "Mirror Image" with his studio partner Kevin Alves aka Gift. Their latest remix for Jes "Like a waterfall" was signed under Tiesto's label,  Magik Music as well as Ultra Records in the US.

Drum & Bass is a culture with one eye fixated on the future. To achieve longevity within the scene a DJ must stay two steps ahead of the general public. The arsenal needed to achieve this task comes in the form of exclusive tunes and an acute ear for "the next sound". Since 1991 DJ Fury has not only met, but surpassed all these criteria.

Steve Blakley began the metamorphosis into his moniker of DJ Fury while snow boarding professionally in the early nineties. It was during this time that Blakley attended his first few raves and was introduced to DJ culture. Reluctant to assume the role of spectator Blakley soon purchased turntables and unknowingly took the first step of his new career. By 1992 Blakley had begun to play the sound of hardcore U.K. breakbeats at events around the Denver area under the guise of DJ Fury. By the next year this sound had began to transform into an early prototype of what would be known as Jungle. Fury shifted with the new sound seamlessly.

From this point forth the Denver Jungle scene snowballed along with Fury's DJ career. The year of 1995 saw the birth of the notorious Rewind series by Lowerworld which catered purely to up front Jungle. These events began to receive attention nationwide thus providing a huge stepping stone in Fury's career. Slowly but surely his reputation of providing the best tunes with flawless mixing began to spread from city to city. From there, Fury continued to expand his growing fan base by maintaining a rigorous DJ schedule rinsing out cities such as Los Angeles, Washington DC, Seattle, San Francisco, and many others. Despite this intense travel itinerary Fury still manages to hold it down in Denver by throwing Reload events and co-hosting Denver's premier bass driven night "Bassic Fridays" at Beta Nightclub.

Currently Fury designs for and runs the internationally acclaimed graphic design company, The Firm Graphics, in between his DJing and event promotions. He is a resident for Bassrush, Insomniac's bass division, and the Reload events are still running strong. You can catch Fury at many of the nation's largest festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival & USC Events in Seattle, as well as some of the top nightclubs. One thing is for sure - you can always count on some 180 BPM dance floor smashing drum and bass whenever he hits the stage.

Denver is the fourth biggest market on Earth for dubstep, and Ishe is Denver's dubstep don. No other Mile High clubber slays for both Westword "Best Promoter" Sub.mission and "Best Monthly Party" Whomp Truck. No other Coloradan is as animated at the helm, either. Ishe, to the faces he's melted (after a Dr. Seuss character), boasts a decade and a half behind the decks, and his serious experience shows. Anyone involved with Colorado's EDM scene has witnessed his wicked mixing and track selection firsthand, as he's perpetually booked at both underground and massive events on a weekly basis. Beta, the number one club in North America, recently made him a Bassic Fridays resident. The biggest electronica festivals on the circuit, from Electric Daisy Carnival to Skylab, beat Beta to the punch in that department, though. Kansas City, Lincoln, Detroit, Las Vegas and Salt Lake are fans, thanks to a slew of out-of-state outings and a recent slot on the Global Dub Festival lineup alongside the likes of Freq Nasty, Mimosa, and Benga. Opening slots for N-Type, Hatcha, and Cotti have further showcased this veteran's flexibility and depth behind the decks. Releases on Velcro City Records, Snatchy Trax, and L.A.-based powerhouse Play Me Records regularly crack Beatport's dubstep charts, with the 2011 Dirt Monkey collab "Flaunt It" peaking at #15. With a full length-album with Dirt Monkey set for release in March 2012 for Play Me, and a bagful of originals and remixes set to drop over the coming year, Denver's dubstep don is certainly on a roll.
