Denver's Maro Turns Up the House Energy

Between being CBO of BODY LVNGUAGE and spinning crave-worthy sets, Denver-based artist Maro has kept herself busy!

When Colorado’s music scene comes to mind, one might categorize it as bass capital, but the love of house is very much alive and thriving just as much – maybe even more. With house and bass music being something that locals have a palate for, you have to be eccentric and stand out to make it in this scene, and there’s one Denver-based artist that deserves some attention – Maro.

Her passions bled for beatmatching in the summer of 2021, and this determined queen made her dreams a reality playing on lineups for artists like Random Rab, DLMT, and Desert Dwellers ever since. With Maro’s happy balance between deep house and global bass, she knows just how to keep the energy high, and the smiles vibrant as her sounds allow listeners to feel free to express themselves through dance.

As amazing as her energy sounds, imagine just how recharged you must feel after spending a night with Maro’s dance revival project BODY LVNGUAGE as an influence. “We are an ancient future party ritual: a raucous, sexy space with a rich culture of respect where all bodies are welcome,” reads its description. There are only three rules you must adhere to enjoy this safe space – no drinks on the dancefloor, no phones allowed, and most importantly, love and respect. With these rules in place, it allows the intentions to be set to create a night full of beautiful memories.

From her radiating healing energy in music, everyday life, and dance revivals, Maro is helping create safe spaces for listeners while they lose themselves in the invigorating experience. It’s a form of therapy that can benefit anyone who is willing to let her take the wheel. Maro includes many hits in her mix for This Is Home, like OFFAIAH‘s rendition of “Lose Control” and John Summit‘s remix of “You’ve Done Enough“ to keep your temperature regulated till the last moments.

When the soul of the wild Colorado nature meets a vibrant blend of transplants from all over the country, and you add world class venues and a roster of EDMs best as Denver residents (Griz, CloZee, Big Gigantic, anyone?) you get a music scene that’s as rich and textured as the music itself. There’s a hunger to the house music lovers here, a spirit that embraces the lineage of the genre just as wholeheartedly as the pioneers of new sounds, and are ready any & every night to dance until the sun comes up. Denver may not be the original home of house music, but it’s certainly putting it’s stamp on its future.
