The 18th One Series took place in Denver at a brand new annexe to City Hall.

We overcame one or two technical issues with ground loops & power outages in the early stages of the night, but triumphed thanks to all the hundreds of beaming souls who came out to play and made for such an impassioned evening.

A big thank you goes out to all the lighting & sound wizz-kids, and of course my good friends 'Surreal Laser' and 'The Fantastic Hosts'.

Where should I host The One next??

The One Series  [DEN018] - Simon Shackleton - Outpost One, Denver

Music is truly the only universal language.  I appreciate the production of music as an art.  Notice the layers...  the build and release... complex simplicity. The people I have met because of music, has changed my entire life and continues to guide it! Thank you for being a part of the vibration.

No rules apply where there's good music to be found. My sets play with light and dark elements from all dance genres to create a harmonious balance of sounds, inviting peeps to join me on a melodic and beat-filled journey.

DJ & producer Sturge, originally from Belfast, is now based in Ibiza after spending over a decade in London. He has been DJing and promoting electronic music parties across Europe and beyond for many years, from Belfast to Burning Man, from London to Berlin. As one of the curators for the Celtic Chaos stage at the Burn, he takes equal pride in his curation as much as in his DJ sets..

Sturge is an avid collector of all things electronic. From the early days of purist Techno in the late 90s and early 00s, his repertoire has evolved and he is adept at playing anything from downtempo to Techno, but these days the BPM is irrelevant. His eclectic sets usually tend towards emotive and driving melodic Techno- emotion is paramount in all his selections, and the perpetual intention is to take the listener along on the journey. This journey over the past three decades has led Sturge to develop his personal sound as he continues to hone his craft.

As much a regular in the underground scene as he is on some of main stages in London and at Burning Man, he has shared the bill with the likes of Gorgon City, Township Rebellion, Osunlade, Christopher Coe, Christian Loffler, Igor Marijuan, Seth Schwarz, Natascha Polke, Josh Butler, Roy Rosenfeld, Jim Rider, Jon Charnis, Guy J, Guy Mantzur, Mees Salome, John Daly, Moonwalk, YokoO, Be Svendsen, Jan Blomqvist, Chaim, Solvane, Prismode, The Scumfrog, Unders, Britta, Goldcap, Sabo, Rey&Kjavik, The Desert Hearts crew, and Aidan Doherty, to name just a few! 

Sturge’s first mainstream release, What Were The Skies LIke When You Were Young, was released on Musique De Lune Records in summer 2024. This stunning 5 track EP, featuring the lead track and four remixes, went straight into the Beatport top 10 and gained immediate support from industry heavy hitters Above and Beyond, Adriatique, Audiojack, Agoria, Armin Van Buren, Ame, Black Coffee, Blond:ish, Bedouin, Christian Varela, Jim Rider, John Digweed, Joris Vorn, Joseph Capriati, Marcelo Vasami, Mariano Mellino, Nick Warren, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Loco Dice, Mind Against, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, and Solomun. 

Exciting developments are on the horizon for the next chapter of Sturge’s career, as highlighted by recent standout sets at Akasha in Ibiza and a move to a hybrid live set. New releases will be coming shortly on some standout labels- with sets lined up across the globe, the sky’s the limit and the future is bright.

****Bio****
Mariel Pauline is a sunshine chaser. Riding into the city on teardrops birthed in daytime darkness, she moves in prayer.

A community leader, event producer and DJ, she is guiding your heartbeat home while holding the space between remembrance and return. 

She is here to help you dance yourself free.

Mariel Pauline holds space for the icky, and shows you how beautiful that is too. She amplifies the sorrow alongside the salvation and pours love on the broken places until they are overflowing with grace.

Bring her the masters of self-destruction, the lost boys, the strong girls afraid to soften. She wants the mirrors afraid to look inward, the closeted joy-hunters right up front. For the dark dance floor deviants with one hand on their heart, the other reaching towards God - embrace the loud- use it. For the gods playing dress-up in human form, your secret is safe. Her space is yours to use. Give it to her, you don’t need it anymore.

Mariel Pauline will help you love again.

I'm a primal & raw foodie, violinist, & Bahai who shreds it up on the "dance floor". This is just some electro that I'm enthusiastic about, enjoy.
