Mother Earth Sound System is an electronic music event collective, formed of people who love all forms of dance music and the community around sharing the music. Founded in 1993 from the San Francisco bay area rave scene, we have since spread to Oregon, Los Angeles, and are now primarily based in Denver, Colorado. Since 1997, we have been doing free outdoor Full Moon Gatherings throughout the Rocky Mountains, as well as intimate indoor events that focus on eclectic, deep, quality dance music.

Our musical guests have included Robag Wruhme, Donato Dozzy, Surgeon, Joel Mull, Dan Bell, John Tejada, Alexi Delano, Derek Plaslaiko, Matthew Dear, Ryan Elliott, the Kooky Scientist, Greg Schiff, Stewart Walker, Maetrik, Jeff Milligan, Sutekh, Someone Else, Habersham, Jay Haze, Kit Clayton, Richard Devine, Dj Spooky, James T. Cotton, Eric Cloutier, Titonton Duvante, Dustin Zahn and many others.
