Adventure Club - Throwback Tour at Mission Ballroom

Feb 10

On paper, the Throwback Tour promises nostalgia. In practice, Adventure Club delivered exactly that, and then some, at Mission Ballroom in Denver. For anyone who came up during the early 2010s bass boom, the night felt less like a standard tour stop and more like a time capsule built for people who were there when melodic dubstep first hit its emotional peak.

Adventure Club’s set (and even the openers) leaned heavily into the era that originally put them on the map, pulling from a period when bass music was defined as much by feeling as it was by volume. The duo didn’t rush through the past, they really let it breathe. Longtime fans were rewarded with moments that instantly transported the room back to packed festival tents, burned CDs, and the golden age of SoundCloud discovery.

What made the nostalgia land was how intentionally it was framed. Throughout the set, Adventure Club weaved in tracks and references from artists who dominated the scene during that same window; names like Krewella, Skrillex, Zeds Dead, and Flux Pavilion, all creating a shared musical language that the crowd immediately understood. These weren’t just throwaway samples or quick drops; they were touchstones that reminded everyone how interconnected that era really was.

The reaction inside Mission Ballroom said everything. Every familiar melody sparked instant recognition, and every callback felt earned rather than forced. It wasn’t about chasing trends or modernizing the sound, it was about honoring a moment in electronic music history when emotion, melody, and bass all collided at once.

The Throwback Tour doesn’t try to rewrite Adventure Club’s legacy. Instead, it leans into it confidently, trusting that the music still holds weight. Judging by the response in Denver, that trust was well placed. For fans who grew up with this sound, and for those discovering it through fresh ears, the night served as a reminder of why that era still matters.
