CROOKERS / WESTWORD MUSIC SHOWCASE AFTER PARTY @ CITY HALL Crookers may have hit the radar for some with a mean remix of Kid Cudi's "Day and Night," but he's been on the radar for the heads for quite some time. He adapts hip-hop roots with modern club spins and always keeps your feet moving with uptempo tracks and low-down bass. After catching our DJ showcase on the Vinyl rooftop during the Westword Music Showcase, head to City Hall for the official after party with Crookers, Ginger Perry, Shannon von Kelly and Denver Disco DJs. -- Britt Chester
