FRIDAY, 6/26 -> Don’t miss your favorite producer’s favorite producer Exile and his ridiculously talented buddy DJ Day as they come rock on 2 MPCs & 2 turntables at the Solution w/me & Sounds Supreme on the Funky Buddha’s rooftop (776 Lincoln St). These guys are doing some of the craziest ish in hip hop music, re-creating classic records live, playing the MPC like an instrument and we’re lucky to have them join us at the Solution for free. Gotta thank the Red Bull Music Academy for bringing out these guys out and the opportunity (don’t know about RBMA? check out RedBullMusicAcademy.com for more one of the coolest fusions of art & commerce I know of). Anyways, check out the video below for a taste of the craziness that Ex & Day will be bringing to Denver, I don’t think any of us are ready. No cover / 21+ / Music at 9.
Saturday 6/27 -> The Third Annual DJ Low Key/Charley Cox/Donwill/Che Grand Birthday Extravaganza at So Damn Down at Shag
SATURDAY, 6/27 -> It’s that time of year again. That wonderful day where Tanya Morgan & Che Grand come out to Denver to rock, we all get hammered and I ended up yelling “I love my life” repeatedly at all of my friends, LOL. If you’ve ever been, you know it’s one hell of a time and if you’ve never been, then please do yourself a favor and come out, I promise you’ll be glad you did. Not only will we be celebrating my birthday, but we’re also celebrating some of my good friends’ as well, on some all-stars of June shit.  Shouts to boy Charley Cox (who runs Shag), Donwill (aka Donny Cusack of Tanya Morgan), my brother in ‘babwe Che Grand, my super fresh homegirl Becca, the ever-talented Rachel Crick & Mama Drop aka Monique, who are gonna be celebrating their birthdays as well. In case you’re not counting that makes seven birthdays being celebrated, imagine the fun of one good birthday party, times it by seven and make sure don’t miss out on the 27th. Also, I’m guessing there might be a few guest DJ sets throughout the night so I can have some drinkin breaks, stay tuned for announcements of who might also spin. 830 15th St (15th & Champa) downtown, no cover & we’re prolly gonna be grillin on the patio from like 8 on, so come join us early.

Please vote Low Key in the 2009 Westword Music Showcase…Voting ends today at noon…
UPDATE: Voting ends on Monday, June 15th at noon MST. Please vote before then if you’re gonna vote. Thanks again.
Yep, it’s Westword Music Showcase time and guess who’s nominated again (shouts to the nominating committee, I appreciate the recognition & Westword, Denver’s premier music/arts/entertainment magazine). Last year, y’all blew me away and voted me Denver’s “Best Hip Hop DJ”, thanks again, you’re the shit. And while I’ve never been foolish enough to think I’m the best DJ out of a field that includes heavyweights like Vajra, Chonz, Cysko Rokwel, Bedz & more, I’ll be geeked if you wanna vote for me again as I try to become the first back to back “Best Hip Hop DJ” winner yet.
The voting process is easier than ever and you can find the “DJ – Hip Hop” category towards the bottom. Thanks again y’all, I appreciate the support. And if you decide not to vote for me, I can’t be too mad, almost everyone nominated is a dope DJ and a friend of mine, props to all the good DJs around town.
Saturday, June 13th -> Frank Radio Grand Puba/U-God Listening Party at So Damn Down w/DJ Low Key

The homie Dunn the Signtologist on Common’s blog b/w Dunn’s DJ Low Key piece…
I gotta congratulate my boy Dunn the Signtologist for getting props on Common’s blog last week, dude definitely deserves the shine. We’ve done quite a few events together over the years and I’ve mentioned him on here before, so hopefully you’re familiar. If not, you should head over to his site ASAP and get caught up on one of the most creative cats I know.
Last but not least, Dunn laced me & Sounds Supreme with pieces to celebrate the 2 year birthday of the Solution back in February (thanks again Dunny, we’re honored), check out my piece below.
Friday, June 12th -> Mos Def – The Ecstatic Listening Party at the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme
FRIDAY, June 12th -> Mos Def’s new record, the Ecstatic, is really really dope. He traded in the rock steez for Madlib beats and it worked out for the best. Come out to the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme on the Funky Buddha’s rooftop (776 Lincoln St) early on 6/12 to hear the new album for yourself and get some promo iddish courtesy of the label (Downtown Records). And P.S., Denver’s best hip hop night has been extra crazy lately, I recommend coming out early (as if the Mos Def ish wasn’t reason enough). No cover / 21+ / Music at 9.
