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.
With his alias “The White Shadow,” DJ Bedz could be Denver hip-hop’s superhero, on a mission to proliferate the somewhat misundastood genre. With residencies at four area clubs, the Occidental College-educated mixmaster proves that white men can rap without straying too far toward either Eminem or Vanilla Ice territory. The DJ’s profile has been raised significantly since his early days at Decades; artofthemix.com recently said his “scratching is outstanding” in a review of his Mix #13 release. Mating tongue-in-cheek lyrics with dance-floor-filling rhythms, Bedz (aka Cassidy Bednark) takes the best of the East and West coasts, sprinkles in some old-school flair and creates music that appeals to aficionados and amateurs alike. Catch the White Shadow on Wednesdays at Silverado, Thursdays at Club Purple, Fridays at the Players Club or Saturdays at 60 South.
