Yugs is an indie-alternative Chilean-Jewish artist and producer who makes music to close your eyes and dance to. Drawing from an eccentric mix of influences—The Strokes, Mac DeMarco, J Dilla—his sound blends indie rock guitars, Latin grooves, dreamy synths, and introspective lyricism created to "help you see the magic that exists all around us." 

Yugs has become a staple in the Denver and LA music scenes, opening for major artists like Michael Seyer and Los Shadows and headlining Denver venues like Skylark, Lost Lake, and Hi Dive. Yugs just graduated from LAAMP (Los Angeles Academy for Artists & Music Production) under legendary producers Stargate (Rihanna, Beyoncé). He is the co-founder of the alt-folk supergroup GIRLSTUPID with Megan Winsor and Diana Thale.

He releases his next album, Dancing In My Room, on May 5th, 2026—an emotional, genre-blending odyssey about moving on from a seven-year relationship, holding love for what was, and exploring themes of self-love and identity. It's a soundtrack for anyone trying to find the sunshine in a world becoming more isolating and dark.

As a producer, Yugs has produced music across a wide range of genres—including R&B, Latin, hip hop, folk, pop, and singer-songwriter—for artists such as Sunstoney, Big Dopes, Keddjra, Trayce Chapman, Jon Rubio, Pool Sharks, Frida Aria, Megan Winsor, and Diana Thale.

Esai Vargas is a Denver-based indie/ bedroom pop artist who blends the chill vibes of indie-bedroom pop with hints of R&B. Known for pretty chord progressions and a dreamy sound.

Cherry Pitter is a Fort Collins based rock band founded by Ethan Minard bringing an eclectic mix of alternative, indie, psychedelic, and folk elements into a glorious and catchy concoction.
