Every Sunday -> Connected w/DJ Low Key at Hai Bar…All the best in soul, R&B and other good stuff + a sushi happy hour all night…

April 7, 2011 / / No comments

EVERY SUNDAY -> I’m excited to announce that after a great Sunday last weekend, you can catch Connected w/DJ Low Key every Sunday night from 8:30-11:30 at the Hai Bar (downstairs at Sushi Hai, 32nd & Lowell in the Highlands).   The feedback was overwhelmingly positive all across the board; a bunch of regulars from my previous Sunday night unanimously said the venue was an upgrade, as was the sound quality, food & happy hour menu size.  Speaking of the happy hour, that was $2 nigiri, $4 rolls & $5 appetizers + $3 small sake, $5 large sake, $3 beers, $6 wines & more the whole time I’m DJing.  And in case you can’t tell from the picture above, I’ll be spinning the best in soul, R&B and other feel good music.  There’s no better way to wrap up your weekend, trust.  Last but not least, I’m working on a nice variety of special events for the night, so stay tuned to this site and my twitter for more info on that too.  No cover /// 21+ /// SushiHai.com for more on the food/drinks/venue.

Monday, 3/14 -> Red Bull Music Academy presents The Foreign Exchange (Phonte + Nicolay) and DJ Low Key at Summit Music Hall…

March 4, 2011 / / One comment

MONDAY, 3/14 -> I’m ridiculously proud and excited that this show is happening.  I’ve been a huge fan and supporter of Nicolay, Phonte and the whole Foreign Exchange Music since they first all linked up on Okayplayer’s infamous message board, the Lesson (right around the same time as Tanya Morgan actually, if you don’t know the story, catch up here), and I’ve wanted to get them out to Denver for a proper show for years.  However, them traveling with a full band makes for a pricey show and up until this year, I wasn’t quite sure how to to make it happen.  Then, 2011 came and with it, came the return of the Red Bull Music Academy, the esteemed music program that I’m fortunate to work with as Denver’s sole rep and also a program that has featured both Phonte and Nicolay as guest lecturers (check them here and here).  From there, we just connected the dots and last Friday inked the paperwork to make it official; Grammy-nominated group, The Foreign Exchange, is making their Denver debut at Summit Music Hall on Monday, 3/14, courtesy of the one and only Red Bull Music Academy.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Red Bull Music Academy is blessing the first 100 people to RSVP at RBMA[at]DenverSolution{dot}com with complimentary admission to the show and keeping the ticket prices for everyone else at the low, low price of only $10 (normally an FE show cost $25+ for a ticket).  The Foreign Exchange is amazing, the tickets are a steal and you already know I’m gonna come correct on the opening set; don’t miss it!!!  All ages /// Doors at 8 (this is not the event to show up late to) /// 1902 Blake St /// RedBullMusicAcademy.com for more info on the program (especially musicians, producers, vocalists, etc) /// The event will also be recorded for RedBullMusicAcademyRadio.com /// $10 Pre-sales available at SodaJerkPresents.com.

What’s up with the Solution you ask? Well here’s a quick update…

February 25, 2011 / / No comments

As you hopefully already know, the Solution has parted ways with 3014 (after a series of bounced checks while the “owner” was in Mexico…SMH…We got our cash and bounced).  We moved the party to Shag last week and filled up the spot for #FuckFOEFriday (check out the pics on our facebook page), but the move to Shag was a one off relocation for our party with King F.O.E. and PopularLemonade.com and we’re still trying to decide where the Solution will make our new weekly home.

With that said, we’re going to take the next two Fridays (2/25 & 3/4) off to focus on the move and prepare for the Ahead of the Class Tour, which happens to feature the first Solution related events outside of Denver (we see you Boulder, Breckenridge & Colorado Springs).  So anyways, please bear with us for the next two weeks, make sure you put Friday, 3/11 in your calendar for the Solution’s 5th Annual J Dilla Tribute and come check us out at the Marquis Theatre on Saturday, 3/12 for the Ahead of the Class Tour w/Tanya Morgan, TiRon, Whygee, King F.O.E., DJ Low Key, Lazy Eyez and specials guests TBA.

Friday, 2/18 -> #FUCKFOEFRIDAY at the Solution…UPDATE: The party has been moved to SHAG!!!

February 15, 2011 / / No comments

From DenverSolution.com: FRIDAY, 2/18 -> If you know him, you’ve probably said it yourself; “Fuck F.O.E.!!!”.  With that said, King F.O.E., the renowned Denver MC who’s known for being blunt is embracing the screams of “Fuck F.O.E.” for his new mixtape and taking over the Solution and Shag Lounge (15th & Champa downtown) on Friday, February 18th for national #FuckFOEFriday.  Not only is F.O.E. releasing his highly anticipated mixtape with Denver’s DJ Ear Attent for #FuckFOEFriday, but he’s also going to be launching KingFOE.com, releasing his collaborative album with Qknox (of Girlgrabbers fame) and celebrating all the enemies he’s fathered by hosting the Solution and featuring a design project with exclusive giveaways from Denver Frank, Urban Nerd & Jkat Designs.  Don’t miss what stands to be a hell of a party and follow @KingFOE and PopularLemonade.com for more updates on the party and releases.

UPDATE:  After 4 months, a bunch of great nights and multiple bounced checks from 3014 (while the “owner” was on vacation in Mexico at that), we have parted ways with the venue.  We hate to have to move the party again, but trust, it was necessary and wherever we permanently end up, we’ll continue the award-winning party that you’ve come to know and love.  Thanks Denver, sorry for any confusion and hopefully we’ll see you for national #FuckFOEFriday at Shag on 2/18.
