[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap radius”]T[/dropcap]he ever-growing and shifting music scene in Denver thrives on creativity and versatility, and that is exactly what Siren, AKA Ashley Roth, brings to local dubstep and electronic music. A self-proclaimed selectress, co-founder of a clothing company, and music enthusiast, Siren regularly infuses Denver music with mixes and performances.

“I’ve always been a huge lover of music and when I was about 16 or 17 I had a few friends who produced as well as DJ’d, so I thought I’d give it a go and ending up loving it more than I could imagine,” she told CULTURE regarding her background in music. “From time to time I do mess around with tunes, but I definitely wouldn’t label myself as a producer, although that is something I would love to dive more into in the future.”

“The tunes I listen to and play do vary in intensity and sometimes style, but what they all have in common is bass weight,” she continued. “My favorite genre would definitely have to be Grime. There is something so special to me about how raw and high energy the Grime scene is. Some artists (this includes MCs) I’m really digging right now would have to be Introspekt, Gundam, AJ Tracey, Gowsk, Creep N00m, Capo Lee, Skelecta, Glume, Samba and Trisicloplox, to name a few.”

Siren regularly plays local dubstep nights in Denver, and also stays busy making mixes and hosting a radio show. “I frequent Sub.Mission events, specifically Electronic Tuesdays, which is actually where I played my first show in front of people,” she told CULTURE. “Currently I don’t have any events in the works, but starting on May 19 I will be hosting a monthly radio show that myself and co-founder of Confidential. Collective, Synstance, will be doing with our good friends over at Fly Hi Society. When my best friend and I started Confidential. Collective, we knew from the beginning that music was going to be the main focus, whether that be through our clothing or our newly curated mix series, ‘Confidential. Sound,’ mainly because we are both avid lovers of music as well as DJs. I think that co-running this collective and interacting with so many different artists has broadened my horizons and therefore contributed to making me a better artist.”

In addition to making time for music and sharing tunes she loves, Siren is also an occasional cannabis user and full-on advocate.

“I do from time to time enjoy a CBD/THC patch to help calm my anxieties and ease me into my creative zone so I can get some solid work done,” she explained. “I have yet to work cannabis into my music or art, but it’s definitely something that I would love to do in the future!”

“In my opinion, as of today we have made huge steps for legalization, especially compared to, say, five years ago, but what I feel could be done differently is more outlets for people to become informed about the immense benefits of cannabis,” she added. “I think that the more accessible information is to all of the public, the more people will begin to open their minds beyond the rhetoric that has been falsely spread about cannabis over decades.”
