SoDown shows up at bass music shows with a saxophone, and it changes the math. The Colorado producer and multi-instrumentalist (born Ehren River Wright in Boulder) has built one of the more unusual projects in the genre: heavy dubstep and bass music run through a framework of funk, soul, and jazz, with live horn woven into the production. He brings his “Scenes of Consciousness” tour to Buffalo Iron Works on Friday, October 30, Night 1 of Halloweekend.
About the Show
The “Scenes of Consciousness” tour opened August 21, 2026 and runs into early 2027, hitting Nashville, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, and Honolulu before a headline show at Mission Ballroom in Denver on February 13. The Buffalo stop falls the same season as a Lost Lands 2026 appearance (Thornville, OH). His press materials describe the sound as “heavy but soulful, explosive but intentional,” and his festival resume backs it: Red Rocks, Coachella, Electric Forest, Lost Lands. What Buffalo Iron Works offers is something those stages cannot — no real distance between SoDown and the floor.
Opening is Chozen (Chase Rosenberg), a Denver-based producer who came up in Atlanta’s underground trap scene before relocating to Colorado. Backed by SubCarbon Records, Chozen makes what his bio calls “sound design that’s as dynamic as it is heavy,” pushing bass and rhythm through an approach he frames around mindfulness and personal growth. His stage presence has been described as “commanding.” He’s one of the rotating support acts across the “Scenes of Consciousness” run.
SoDown’s path into electronic music started at a Pretty Lights show at Red Rocks in 2010. He described the experience as what “kick started” his whole interest in music. Early influences (Wu-Tang Clan, The Meters, Parliament, James Brown) still surface in the production, which explains why the saxophone integrates rather than decorates. He also organizes “GetDown” community activations: hiking, paddleboarding, outdoor events that extend the project beyond the stage. Seven years after that first Red Rocks show, he was back at the same amphitheater supporting Pretty Lights. He called it full circle. On October 30, the room is 500 capacity and the arc is still going.
