September 20, 2012 / / No comments

 

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.

September 12, 2012 / / No comments

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.

September 6, 2012 / / No comments

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 -> Goodness presents Michael vs Prince vs Stevie Silent Disco w/DJ Low Key, DJ Check One, Es Nine, Nofrendo & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

August 31, 2012 / / No comments

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.

August 29, 2012 / / No comments

Saturday, 8/25 at 9PM -> The Solution Showcase #8 w/Chicago’s BrandUn DeShay, Bianca Mikahn, Black Jordan, DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at the Meadowlark…

August 23, 2012 / / No comments

 

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).

YouTube Preview Image

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.

‘Round Midnight is being sold & because of that, The Solution Boulder is going on hiatus /// Win free Theophilus London at the Fox tickets, courtesy of me & The Solution…

August 23, 2012 / / No comments

Pretty simple situation.  Two days ago, I got word that ‘Round Midnight, the home of The Solution Boulder, was in the process of being sold to new ownership and because of that they were going to be closed indefinitely.  I was always a fan of Chuck, Pinks, Aaron & the rest of the ‘Round midnight crew and hate to see them end their run in Boulder, but I also know sometimes you gotta sell, especially when you’re sitting on prime real estate like they are on Pearl St.  I don’t know if/when they’ll be reopening or if we’ll continue throwing The Solution Boulder there or anywhere else in Boulder at the moment.

Right now, my focus is on the monthly Solution Showcase and the smash hit of the Summer, Goodness (going til October), down in Denver, as well as a variety of other projects (some of which will be taking place in Boulder), so I’m going to take a break in regards to The Solution Boulder.  So don’t worry hip hop heads, me, DJ Dozen, B-Money, Sounds Supreme & crew will continue to bring CO all the best in hip hop & more on a regular basis, so stay tuned to djlowkey.com, denversolution.com & my twitter page for more upcoming events.

P.S. We didn’t feel in was right to say goodbye without a parting gift Boulder.  I have a pair of free tickets to tonight’s Theophilus London show at the Fox Theatre for the first three people to send me an e-mail titled “Theo On Thursday” at Contests <at> djlowkey {dot} com.  Winners will be announced/contacts by 7pm. Good luck! – DJ Low Key

August 16, 2012 / / No comments

SATURDAY, 8/25 from 6-8PM -> Before we head over to The Solution Showcase #8, me, DJ Dozen and Chicago MC/producer BrandUn DeShay will be heading over to Family Affair downtown for an all ages in-store appearance and meet & greet.  BrandUn wanted to make sure he got to somehow perform a few songs for his under 21 fans, so we linked up with our good friends over at Family Affair to make it happen.  I’ll be spinning, BrandUn will rock a few songs and you’re more than welcome to bring your little brother/sister and put them on to some quality hip hop.  Last but not least, even if you’re not familiar with BrandUn, you might be familiar with his work on projects by Danny Brown, Von Pea, Curren$y, Dom Kennedy, Mac Miller, Sir Mikey Rocks & others, so hit his wikipedia page to get up on his impressive discography.  All Ages/No Cover/2049 Larimer St.  Then after the meet & greet, we’re off to the Meadowlark for the main event, The Solution Showcase #8 w/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.
