The Story of Moon Magnet
a Denver music company built by artists since 2013
Moon Magnet is a music school, mastering studio, record label, & DJ production company based in Denver, CO founded in 2013. With Moon Magnet you can learn how to produce music with one of our many engineers, release your music in 90 days, or learn to play an instrument and perform. Our education is accessible online and in person at your house (our teachers drive to you).
Since receiving the Meow Wolf Grant two consecutive years, we've undertaken a number of exciting new projects, including the release of our first cassette compilation tape (Moon Magnet Volume IV). Some of our members are product innovators and have collaborated with Meow Wolf to bring Moon Water to Meow Wolf’s Convergence Station (Denver) and Omega Mart (Las Vegas). Moon Magnet band, déCollage, was invited to create a 10min soundtrack for a room called Ruptured Time at Meow Wolf Denver.
Moon Magnet is an artist collective with a lot of branches; it’s an umbrella with a multiverse of people under it. From 2013-2017 Moon Magnet was a house with about four bands practicing in it between recording sessions throughout the week. John Paul Bardeen, our landlord started the one and only pumpkin carving tool company called Pumpkin Masters out of the house before we lived there. We’ve created surrealistic music videos & films that have premiered on the big screen, as well as launching a Moon Magnet showcase at Alamo Drafthouse, which debuted with songwriter Esmé Patterson. With our desire for providing imaginative experiences and our love for bringing people together, we’ve had the honor of hosting unusual Moon Magnet showcases at UMS every year since 2013.
Moon Magnet's also been lucky enough to travel across the country and build unique art installations at music festivals like FORM Arcosanti, The UMS, Desert Daze {collaborating with Adult Swim} & art spaces like Museum of Contemporary Art & The Understudy at Denver Center of Performing Arts.
Moon Magnet is a place where artists can be themselves and express freely. We strive to inspire musicians to try new things and we promote a “you can do anything with practice; barriers are mostly mental” DIY ethos. ∞Gravitate to your sound∞
What our clients say:
“Moon Magnet DJ’d our Denver wedding on October 18th, 2025
and absolutely killed it!
I wish I could have a second wedding just so I could relive the dance floor
all over again! He was thoughtful, punctual, professional and made sure
the day flowed smoothly for us. He played every song on our “must play” list
and sprinkled in his own selection of dance floor bangers that fit the vibe too.
Two weeks later and our guests are still raving about him
and our dance floor! He’s not only an amazing DJ but a genuinely kind, cool person who was great to work with.”
