June 4, 2013 / / No comments

SUNDAY, 6/9 -> Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends is back with another Sunday full of magic as we officially mark a year since the party launched.  I couldn’t have asked for more great music and amazing people to come through since things kicked off and I’m already looking forward to years and years of the same fun as we continue on.

Back in the present, I’m really excited for Sunday’s International Goodness, as me, Crunk Brother extraordinaire DJ Discord & Boulder party fixture DJ Haus spin jams with from, and with, influences from all over the world, all afternoon long (US included…LOL…No cop out though).  Veteran of numerous pilgrimages to Brazil, Discord will be spin a funky Brazilian mix that dips into tropicalia, bossa nova & samba.  DJ Haus will be covering a variety of worldwide sounds, taking us on what he calls his “musical safari” that is sure to open up your ears to some great new sounds.  I’ll be doing what I can to compliment their deep catalogs of music and hopefully everybody leaves with some new favorite jams.

Moontower Tacos & Denver Dessert Trolley will be keeping us happy and fed all day, the vibe should be pretty fantastic and at 10PM, we’ll be closing things out with a Goodness Film Club screening of Searching For Sugar Man, the all but unbelievable yet true take of Rodriguez, an all but unknown 70s musician from Detroit turned unlikeliest South African music icon, on the Meadowlark’s magical patio. 2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

May 22, 2013 / / No comments

 

MONDAY, 5/27 -> Last Sunday was crazy good and it’s safe to say that Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends is officially underway for Summer.  People have already started asking me how long the party is going to go for so they can make the most of it (the official 2013 season closer is 9/22, go ahead and put it on your calendar now) and I’m just like y’all, trying to make the most of Sumemr while it’s here.  On that note, I’m super excited to announce that we’re gonna have an extra bonus edition of Goodness on Memorial Day, the perfect compliment to Sunday’s Native Tongues Goodness.

So yeah, Bonus Goodness on Memorial Day w/me and specials guests Deftron and Kid Hum on the turntables as we go extra hard to celebrate our good friend Aisha’s birthday!  We’re also bringing in Moontower Tacos to flip up the menu for the day and Denver Dessert Trolley with some sweet desserts too.  Moontower Tacos recently opened up here in Denver and they’ve been bringing all sorts of creative, “Austin-style” tacos to CO, including their infamous Doggfather (Chicken & Waffle Taco), which they’ll have on hand at Goodness for your stomach and tastebuds’ delight.  Denver Dessert Trolley was started by former TAG dessert bar chef Jamie Seacrest, who’ll have Mexican chocolate brownies and some other goodies on hand on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio.  You already know we’ll have Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara serving three delicious flavors of agua frescas with Svedka and a whole lot more at the bar, should make for a great Memorial Day!  2701 Larimer St/ No Cover / 21+.

May 17, 2013 / / No comments

SUNDAY, 5/26 from 3pm-midnight -> With Monday being Memorial Day and most people having the day off, it’s only right that we have an extra special Goodness the day/night before.  This edition is extra special indeed, as we import world renowned DJ Mick Boogie (DJ for Jay-Z/Lebron, mixtapes w/Little Brother, Busta Rhymes) from Brooklyn and Prime Element’s own Es Nine to join me in celebrating the legendary Native Tongues crew.  Even if you don’t know the crew name, you know the Native Tongues fore-bearers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Jungle Brother & Queen Latifah, but their affiliations extended to Black Sheep, Monie Love, Leaders Of The New School, Brand Nubian, Common, Chi-Ali, Bush Babees, The Beatnuts, Mos Def & beyond. We’ll be rocking classics, album cuts, b-sides, remixes, guest spots, rarities, original samples and so on from all the members of the crew, all day and into the night on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio.

Then at 10pm, we’re kicking off the first night of the Goodness Film Club with a screening of Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest on the Meadowlark patio’s outdoor screen.  For the rest of the Summer, every Sunday we’ll be screening either a music related movie, comedy or something else cool after we wrap up the music at 10pm.  Consider it your wind down for the weekend, I know that’s my plan.  No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos will be cooking up tacos and on the drink side of things, we’ll have Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara serving three delicious flavors of agua frescas with Svedka and a whole lot more.  2701 Larimer St/ No Cover / 21+.

Sunday, 5/19 -> Goodness w/DJ Low Key and special guests DJ Bedz (Denver Nuggets DJ), Spyda T.E.K. (CO Springs) & Truth Live (The Bay Area) on the Meadowlark’s patio…

May 14, 2013 / / No comments

 

SUNDAY, 5/19 at 3pm ->  Goodness continues on in grand fashion with another super dope DJ lineup, this time with Denver Nuggets team DJ, DJ Bedz, Los Angeles-bred DJ/producer Spyda T.E.K. and the Bay Area’s Truth Live joining me on the turntables.  DJ Bedz spins in front of hundreds of thousands of people every year, but rarely gets to flex his deep crates like this, 2013 Solution Beat Battle Spyda T.E.K. has been working on original remixes & mashups for his set and Truth Live is making a tour stop in Colorado just to rock for us.  All three guests should make me step my game up and that should make for another great Sunday of music on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio.  No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos will be cooking up food and on the drink side of things, we’ll have Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara serving three delicious flavors (strawberry, pineapple & watermelon) of agua frescas con Svedka and a whole lot more.  2701 Larimer St/ No Cover / 21+.

SUNDAY, 5/12 at 3pm -> I love you Denver, and I can’t thank you enough.  Despite an overcast afternoon and weather in the 50s making me nervous, Cinco De Goodness, the 2013 Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends kickoff party, was packed and INCREDIBLE!!!  A ton of familiar faces came through, the vibe was as perfect as we all remembered and smiles were had all the way around on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio, just like we’d been looking forward to.

Goodness returns this weekend with Sunday’s forecast calling for a more proper mid 70s and featuring two of my favorite DJs; Houston fixture Dayta (Kracker Nuttz / Good Good Fridays) and Solution co-founder DJ Sounds Supreme joining me on the turntables.  No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos will be back with an expanded menu and on the drink side of things, we’ll be featuring three flavors of our signature agua frescas con Svedka that your momma will love.  Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara will be serving your drinks with a smile, the music will be incredible and it’s should be another borderline flawless Sunday afternoon at Goodness; hopefully we’ll see you out!  2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

Sunday, May 5th -> Cinco De Goodness w/DJ Low Key, DJ Chris Karns, DJ Largechild & DJ Dozen on the Meadowlark’s patio to kick off the 2013 season! Food by No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos, Agua Frescas & more…

April 30, 2013 / / No comments

SUNDAY, 5/5 at 3PM -> It’s here!  Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, my Summertime party on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio is back for the 2013 patio season!!!  Last year, Goodness got off to an unbelievable start, with a ton of great people, top notch music, refreshing, delicious tacos & assorted randomness coming together like magic every weekend.  Now we’re back for 2013 and kicking things off with an all-star DJ lineup including world renowned DJ Chris Karns, underrated Lipgloss resident DJ Largechild, Welcome To The D.O.P.E. Game’s DJ Dozen & myself.

On the food tip, El Chingon and Chef David Lopez (aka DJ Psycho), who did tacos for us last year, are opening their new location at 44th & Tennyson (go check it out!) and unfortunately they’re not going to be able to do tacos for us this season.  With that said, we’re bringing in No Que No Tacos & Mariscos to do food for the 2013 Summer season.  No Que No has an actual food truck and will be able to serve a bigger menu than we offered last year (including fried foods!), so expect a wider variety of delicious options for your patio dining pleasure.  On the drink side of things, we’ll still be featuring our signature agua frescas con Svedka with a few new surprises for 2013.  It’s gonna be an incredible Summer at Goodness, hopefully you can join us!  2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

Saturday, 10/13 from 2-9PM -> End of the Patio Season Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, El Chingon Tacos and more on the Meadowlark’s patio…Don’t miss the last patio party of 2012!!!

October 8, 2012 / / No comments

SATURDAY, 10/13 from 2-9PM -> I knew this day was coming, but it doesn’t make things any easier.  It’s almost mid-October, the forecast is for high-60s and we’ve got just enough time and good weather for one last Goodness on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio before we call it a wrap for the 2012 patio season (but don’t worry, we’ll be back in mid/late Spring).  With that said, please join myself, a few guest DJs (lineup coming soon) and the homies from El Chingon as we celebrate a first season that went better than any of us could have hoped for.

On that note, I want to thank each and everybody who came through Goodness this Summer/Fall, the vibe was basically perfect the whole time and that wouldn’t have been possible without the love, support and patronage of an amazing variety of people (maybe most diverse party in Denver? I dunno if that’s the case, but I heard people saying it every week).  Hopefully we’ll see all of y’all out for the season’s closer.  More details at @feel_goodness/21+/No Cover/2701 Larimer St.

P.S. The heaters are now back on the patio so when the sun goes down we should be good.  I’d bring a hoodie if you show up late, just to be safe.

P.P.S. I’m working on a few other cool new concepts for this Fall/Winter, so add me on facebook, follow me on twitter, catch me on tumblr, join the e-mail list at the top right corner of this page, etc so you can stay in the loop from here on out.

Saturdays from 2-9PM until it starts snowing -> Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, El Chingon tacos & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

September 27, 2012 / / No comments

 

Saturdays from 2-9PM -> For the last few weeks, people have been asking nonstop about my plans for Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends as the weather gets colder.  The answer has pretty much been the same; “we’ll figure it out when Fall gets here”.  Well now that Fall is officially here, it’s time for an update.  Here’s the details:
1. In case you missed the announcement last weekend, we’re moving Goodness back to Saturday afternoons for the rest of the season for a few reasons, primarily because of Bronco/Peyton-mania, but also for an extra special Goodness event on Saturday, 10/6 (stay tuned for details, coming real soon) and more.
2. This weekend’s forecast calls for 74 degrees and sunshine on Saturday and next weekend is looking even hotter.  With that said, the party is going to continue on until it gets “too cold”, which is still probably 4-6 weeks or so away.
3. I’m also working on a few other cool new concepts for this Fall/Winter, so add me on facebook, follow me on twitter, catch me on tumblr, join the e-mail list at the top right corner of this page, etc so you can stay in the loop from here on out.
So just to reiterate, don’t miss Autumn Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, tacos by El Chingon and more on the Meadowlark’s ridiculous patio (2701 Larimer St) until the weather gets too cold.  Stay tuned to djlowkey.com & @Feel_Goodness on twitter for more info on the party and special events as we make the most out of the next month or so of nice weather.  Also, be on the lookout for a few cool weather specials as the Fall makes it’s presence more felt over the next few weeks. Rain or Shine /// 21+ /// 2-9pm /// No Cover.
Last but not least, here’s some humbling feedback on Goodness that helped us confirm that this Summer was unforgettable:
