S2PS (pronounced Stoops) is the DJ alias of Chris Klescewski. Since 2015, S2PS has been eking out a niche in the city’s thriving dance music ecosystem. A consistent repeat booking at local bass mecca The Black Box, he’s also performed at Bar Standard, Milk Bar, Antero Hall, and SugarKube. Camping festivals like Electric Pow Wow and Camp No Name in Utah have also played host to his highly intentional approach to music curation.
In 2020, S2PS connected with the Drum & Bass Proper platform, becoming a regular contributor to their weekly guest mix series. Soon after, S2PS started the spin-off channel, UKG Proper in April of 2021. He has found his role in dance music as a Stateside ambassador of UK garage. The Denver-based DJ and founder of UKG Proper takes it upon himself to share knowledge, spread music, and grow the scene at every turn. Starting in August of 2024, UKG Proper hosts a dedicated UKG night at the world renowned Black Box.
S2PS keeps the old school ways alive while simultaneously looking to the future. On one hand, he’s an avid vinyl collector who still hands out mix CDs. On the other, he embraces new modes of delivery — notably through his Mountain Top Mixes YouTube series, which showcases recordings of DJ sets in scenic locations. No matter the medium, his mission is the same. His love for the groove is contagious, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

I think being so close to the Bermuda Triangle, there were so many doppelgängers afoot… can you guess them all??? Forgot to get a shot of Puerto-peacock… Good times!!!
Let it Roll was the biggest dnb lineup I’ve seen to date. Puerto Rico knows how to host. The venue was perfect. Each stage was a stones throw away and no sound bleed. Such a vibe. Had an amazing time. Met so many friends in person for the first time. Would definitely recommend going next year!!!
This Friday (10/24) @ukgproper hosts “Flavours” at @temple_denver LVL. Free guest list in my linktr.ee in my bio. Myself @dj_s2ps longside @djghostdnb303 and @heshthestampede bringing you some funky garage vibes all night.
Then on All Hallows Eve, @5280dnb and @shutthefunkupentertainment combine forces to bring you a stacked lineup, costume contest, and a memorable night of spooky sounds and wubby witches.
Finally, for my birthday at @theblackbox5280 on Saturday 11/8 @ukgproper Colours will have @styleigh_coyote , @itsgloomi , and all the way from ABQ @conrisa.music bringing some heat to the lounge. I play at midnight to kick off my 41st!!!

Celebrated 6 months of an amazing partnership with this incredible woman yesterday. I am so blessed to have met my spiritual doppelgänger. She gets me and I get her. After I gave up looking we found each other. I am finally getting back to being 100% me and it feels great. She is a strong, beautiful, intelligent, determined, hardworking, loving, compassionate, woman and makes me feel so loved. Here is to many more 6 months my love! I love you!!!
It’s been a great month. Got to go to Knoxville for some work. Got to slay the decks numerous times. But last night at @theblackbox5280 was probably my favorite set all month. Going 3s with bad man, 2023 Bass Wars Champion @djghostdnb303 was the highlight of the month for sure. Celebrating 10yrs of @drumandbassproper was an honor. We vibes. QTRLBSND destroyed the dance! Also getting a photo shoot for @reset.productions shot by the one like @faded.lazer was a blessing. Can’t wait to see how the shots came out!
Catch me October 3rd for @konkrete_jungle_mile_high at The Black Box for some jungle skank!!! See you in the dance!
