Ryan McRyhew is a long-time, influential member of the Denver electronic music scene, having performed and released music as Thundercade and in groups like Cougar Legs and Hideous Men (who recently performed at Denver’s Goldrush Music Festival, put on by our very own Strauss). His latest project is named Thug Entrancer, and while a brief stint in Chicago aligned his tightly sequenced, DIY approach to experimental electronic music with a rich history of electronic dance music, he’s back in Denver, inadvertently proving how his music — an analog hybridization of juke, techno, house, acid, and more — is not geographically bound.
Death After Life will prove as much when it’s released next year on Daniel Lopatin’s Software Recording Co. The album expands on a 5-track EP of the same name that was self-released earlier this year on his own Laser Palace imprint (which is no stranger to these parts). The new version features three new tracks and a couple bonus cuts.
