Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Transcending the stereotype of Moby wannabes, DJ Ty Tek has risen to ubiquity in the Denver dance-club scene, thanks to his preternatural ability to read a crowd and plenty of good, old-fashioned hard work. Despite starting his career in the unlikely town of Pueblo, Tek eventually worked through the ranks of Denver’s “second wave” of house DJs, coming to rule the night at popular events such as the now-defunct Playscool series at Tracks 2000. When Casa Del Soul and SOMA decided to collaborate on a new monthly event, Residents, Tek was the obvious choice for dispensing the aural delights. The series kicks off with an opening party on Saturday, June 8, at SOMA, where Tek will be joined by fellow Soul spinners Little Mike and DJ Foxx.
