PERC TRAX 2012 US TOUR Opening set @ Norad (Denver, CO) on June 8th

Stephen Penders, aka Mick Finesse, has been djing and promoting in locations ranging from Tokyo to Boston since 1999. Now based in Denver, CO, Mick has become an integral part of the local techno community. Having hosted the very popular Dissonance / Resonance afterhours, in addition to regular appearances at Beta’s Beatport Lounge and various other local clubs, Mick has been all the while tempering his own interpretation of techno. Obsessed with themes of context and contrast, Mick Finesse attempts to peel away layers, perception and prejudice in both his namesake and his music.

Stephen's unique warm-up set at Freq Boutique (Denver, CO) is what ultimately caught Ali's attention, then he followed up soon after with a release on Perc Trax. This set shows just another angle through the mind of Mick Finesse...
