STS9 at Globe Iron

With an ethos rooted in exploration, STS9 has been a sonic pioneer for two decades. Using electronic and acoustic means, the instrumental five-piece—comprised of Hunter Brown (guitar/programming), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards), Zach Velmer (drums), and Alana Rocklin (bass)—channels the primordial and celestial, producing a cutting-edge sound that has forged a path for multiple generations of electronic dance music. STS9’s innate sense of innovation is grounded by the group’s desire to forge universal connections. Seamlessly integrating their exploratory and improvisation-based music with a fully immersive light show, each performance is a transcendent celebration of humanity. With the help of the group’s dedicated fanbase, STS9 has performed countless shows nationwide and consistently sells out venues like the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater, where they have played over 30 times. The group has been honored with induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame and earns headlining slots at countless music festivals across the country. The group continues to find ways to build community, consistently spearheading charitable efforts with their own Just Thanks Foundation and founding its own independent record label, 1320 Records. Having released twelve albums over the last 28 years, STS9’s legacy unfolds into the future with their newest 2025 studio release, Human Dream. These 19 tracks clearly represent the band’s current sound, delving deep into the many facets of music the group is known for. From huge festival bangers, to funk and jazz explorations, intricate drum n bass, and beautiful instrumentals, Human Dream symbolizes the start of sharing music from STS9’s most prolific recording era to date. With more new releases on the horizon, major festival appearances, and a full US tour, STS9 is poised to keep spreading their music and message in 2026 and beyond.
