SATURDAY, 9/29 from 2-9PM -> A few weeks ago at Goodness I shouted my favorite football team, who happens to be the Atlanta Falcons, the night before they were playing the Broncos on Monday Night Football. I knew what would happen and like I expected, I ended up getting viciously booed at my own party by one of the coolest crowds in Denver (I’m from originally from Georgia, so I still root for team I grew up rooting for, how you gonna be mad at that?). Well Broncos fans you already know who won the next night, but you won the war and due to the city’s Bronco/Peyton-mania, we’re gonna move Goodness to Saturdays until we close down for Winter, so you can have all of Sunday for the Broncos and the rest of the NFL and we don’t have to change to vibe of Goodness to feel like a sports bar (we will still have the one TV with college games though).
With that said, we’re getting things off to a great start on Saturday with a very dope edition of Goodness. I’ll be joined by DJ Large Child, who I always knew was nice, but impressed me extra at the David Flores/Akomplice art shows we DJed at last month and Solution Beat Battle winner/recent Potholes In My Blog label signee BK Beats featuring PBZ as they celebrate the release of their Time Is Of The Essence EP. We’re also celebrating the homie Brent Lyon’s birthday and if you know him, you already know he’ll be rolling with a fun crew. As usual, El Chingon will be serving up delicious tacos, agua frescas will be flowing and the vibe just how you like it the Meadowlark’s patio, see you there! 21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

SUNDAY, 9/23 from 2-9PM -> Even though this Sunday is technically the first dayof Fall, Goodness is still going strong with another dope lineup and a forecast of 81 degrees and sunny as we make the most of the last few weeks of warm weather. This time around I’ll be joined by b-boy/DJ phenom DJ Stretch from L.O.F. and DJ Pat Allen aka Boo Bear aka Breaka Breaka and if you know these two dudes, you already know it’s gonna be a fun one.
As usual, El Chingon will be serving delicious tacos, the vibe will be top notch and the people extra cool as we make the most the Meadowlark’s super dope patio before Winter hits. Last but not least, just wanted to remind you that we’ve mounted a TV on the bar so you can catch the Broncos and the rest of the day’s football games at the party. 21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

SUNDAY, 9/16 from 2-9PM -> Coming off the freshest wedding party ever (big up the homie Ben, Archi & B-Stee for bringing everybody through, what a cool crew), Goodness is back to celebrate a pair of important birthdays along with one of our favorite Denver culture blogs, The 4th Door. The birthdays we’re celebrating are the birth of CO hip hop saint Lazy Eyez (I know he hates that title, but it’s true!) and The 4th Door founder/head honcho Dom Von Stephen Atencio (aka Dominic Atencio) and with music by myself, Deejay Tense (Crunk Brothers) & Lazy Eyez himself, it promises to be a day to remember. If you’re not up on The 4th Door, head over to their site right now and familiarize yourself with one of the freshest blogs/sites in CO; full of culture, art, fashion, humor & sports content.
As usual, El Chingon will be slanging delicious tacos, the vibe will be second to none and the people extra cool as we make the most the Meadowlark’s super dope patio before it gets too cold. Last but not least, even though the Broncos game is on Monday Night Football, we’ve mounted a TV on the bar so you can catch the day’s football games at the party. 21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

SUNDAY, 9/9 from 2-9PM -> Fresh off our busiest Sunday & biggest guest yet (Pittsburgh legend DJ Bonics aka Wiz Khalifa’s DJ, who straight BLESSED the crowd), Goodness is back with yet another top notch lineup. This time around, I’ll be joined on the turntables by Denver titan Cysko Rokwel (of Prime Element, DMC US Finals & Basementalism fame) and two of Kansas City’s top DJs, Archi & B-Stee aka 2/3 of the up & coming production team Secret Sauce for some Denver x KC Goodness.
Also, by popular demand, Opt Won will be back with his Doc Fresh Vintage Sports Apparel Pop-Up Shop featuring with all the dope Starter jackets & such that 80s-babies such as myself love (breakaways, windbreakers, sweatshirts, snap backs, satin jackets, etc). El Chingon will be on the tacos, the vibe will be borderline magic and you should already know to get there early in the day if you’re trying grab a table before the Meadowlark’s super dope patio fills up. Last but not least, we know Peyton-mania is at an all-time high, so we’ve mounted a TV on the bar so you can catch all the Broncos games at Goodness. 21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

FRIDAY, 9/7 at 8PM -> I’m super excited to announce this, I’ve been working to make it happen all Summer and it’s finally here. We’re celebrating three of the best artists of all-time, silent disco style, on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio, AT NIGHT!!!!! Now’s a good time to familiarize yourself with what a silent disco is, if you’re not familiar.
Here’s the silent disco definition from wikipedia -> “Silent disco has become a common name for a disco where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via an FM-transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to nothing. Often two three DJs compete for listeners. Silent discos are popular at music festivals as they allow dancing to continue past noise curfews.”
So basically you come into the patio, get a pair of special headphones and can tune into one of three stations, with each one with a different DJ playing a different artist; one all Michael Jackson and family, one Prince and crew, one Stevie Wonder and affiliated artists. As the party gets a little closer I’ll announce the rest of the DJ lineup and who’s repping who, but trust, your ears are in for a ridiculous, surreal night of dancing to some of the best artists ever, on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio (which normally can’t have music after 10PM because of noise ordinances, in what has to be one of the biggest shames in Denver).
We only have 100 headphone so make sure you come out early, so you don’t get stuck waiting for a pair to become available. The party starts at 8PM, it’s 21+ and the $10 cover gets you in the door plus a special set of headphones for the night. Last but not least, we’ll be featuring $5 Red Bull & Svedkas and $2 Red Bulls all night long.
Saturday, 9/22 at 7PM -> After getting things back on track with another packed Solution Showcase last month, we’re back for The Solution Showcase #9 with wunderkind producer Ro Blvd (LA), Thurzday (LA /// formerly of U-N-I) & Free Speech (The Bay /// BrekFast Club), CO hip hop icons Prime Element, elusive DJ/producer Fast Forward, DJ Low Key & more at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St). You might remember Ro Blvd and Thurzday as 2/3 of the hosts from The Solution Tape #1 (back before U-N-I split up). They’ll be joining Free Speech (of The BrekFast Club), as our featured out of town acts for the night. We’ll also be featuring A.V.I.U.S., Es Nine & Cysko Rokwel aka Prime Element as our Denver artists and acclaimed producer/DJ Fast Forward as our featured producer.
Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with someone on the bill, a big part of The Solution Showcase is about discovering dope new music and we’ll be linking up music, videos and more info on all the artists as we get closer to the party. So stay tuned to DenverSolution.com to learn more about the performers and hopefully we’ll see you on 9/22! 21+ /// $5 Pre-sales now available at all three Family Affair locations & get you 15% off your entire purchase /// $8 at the door /// Doors at 7pm.
 SUNDAY, 9/2 from 2-9PM -> I’m happy to announce that one of my favorite DJs in the country, legendary Pittsburgh DJ, Bonics aka Wiz Khalifa’s DJ and former US Red Bull Thre3 Style finalist, is gonna be coming to Goodness to spin an extra special guest set and help make our Labor Day weekend one to remember. I’ll also be DJing and your host for the day, DJ KAAOS (of the group M.F. KAAOS) will be spinning a guest set as well & of course, El Chingon will be serving up exceptional tacos & more on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio. The vibe will be incredible and you might wanna get their early in the afternoon if you’re trying claim some top notch real estate before the spot fills up; with no work on Monday and our biggest guest DJ to date coming to town, it should be one for the books. 21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

SATURDAY, 8/25 at 9PM -> “It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you…”. After a scheduling issue in July and breaking from our formula to honor some of Denver’s best DJs in June, The Solution Showcase is back on track with another ridiculously dope lineup. For The Solution Showcase #8, we’re importing infamous Chicago MC and producer BrandUn DeShay, the first lady of Denver hip hop Bianca Mikahn, criminally underrated producer Black Jordan (from Team Latchkey, fka Jay Gunna), myself and #COhiphop saint, Lazy Eyez (I’m sure he’s gonna hate that title, but it fits…LOL).
BrandUn DeShay is a classic double threat, having released numerous critically acclaimed mixtapes as an MC/producer while also doing beats for the likes of Dom Kennedy, Curren$y, Danny Brown, Von Pea, Mac Miller, Sir Michael Rocks (of the Cool Kids) & others. Having come up in the group Paradox, Bianca Mikahn has been rocking mics on the Denver circuit with the Mercury Sauce collective for years, making quite a name for herself in the usually male driven hip hop scene. Black Jordan , who’ll be celebrating the release of his Basement Instinct beat tape at the party, blew us away with his music at The Solution Beat Battle earlier this year and we’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to feature his production at the showcase ever since. You probably already know about me and Lazy Eyez if you’re reading this, but if not, we’ve both been pushing quality hip hop for years in Denver, trying to make the kind of events we’d like to go to happen, while winning an award or two in the process.
Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with someone on the bill, a big part of The Solution Showcase is about discovering dope new music and we’ll be linking up music, videos and more info on all the artists as we get closer to the party. So stay tuned to DenverSolution.com to learn more about the performers and hopefully we’ll see you on 8/25! 21+ /// $5 Pre-sales now available at all three Family Affair locations & get you 15% off your entire purchase /// $8 at the door /// Doors at 9.
UPDATE: Meet BrandUn DeShay, our featured out of town artist for The Solution Showcase #8 on Saturday, 8/25 at The Meadowlark. BrandUn is an MC/producer from Chicago who’s worked with the likes of Danny Brown, Curren$y, Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Mac Miller, Von Pea, Sir Mikey Rocks & more.
