Thursday, 8/12 -> Lounging at the Lobby, adult game night & networking event, w/DJ Low Key & more…

THURSDAY, 8/12 -> I’ve been DJing at nightclubs for a living for almost a decade now and these days I get excited for events that are a little different than the standard night club fare (take Hapa Life for instance).  Well not too long ago, the folks over at Bigg Dizzy hit me up about getting involved in their recently launched adult game night/networking events; we met, knocked out some specifics and I’m looking forward to being involved in my first one on 8/12. Just to clarify, we’re talking about adults drinking and playing games here, not adult game night on some adult movie night ish, LOL.

Anyways, there will be numerous games on hand, everything from poker to taboo to connect four to dominos to wii on a projecter and more.  Plus, we’ve got a dope collection of prizes too, including Rockies tickets, a bar tab at the Lobby, gift certificates to a few local restaurants, a couple of Akomplice tees and more.   Also, we’ve got some complimentary snacks and a late night happy hour going with specials on food and drink, courtesy of the Lobby (P.S. I just checked the spot out for the first time recently and it’s super fresh).  Last but not least, in case it’s not clear, I’ll be playing all the dope shit throughout the night to compliment your game playing experience, don’t miss it.  9:30 – midnight / $5 / Downtown at 22nd & Arapahoe.

Sunday, 7/18 -> The Spirit of Hip Hop Park Jam at La Raza Park during the day & Hapa Life at night…

SUNDAY, 7/18 -> Summertime’s not official without a park jam or two, right?  Catch me and some of Denver’s top talent (including Vajra, Lazy Eyez, Cysko Rokwel, B Money, Dent, Johnny 5 from the Flo-Bots & more) rocking from 11am – 6pm at La Raza Park (38th & Navajo) for the Spirit of Hip Hop Park Jam.  Expect dope music all day long and some of the top b-boys in town getting down.  The event is all ages, free and there’s gonna be free food, what’s better than that?  Shouts to Spenser & Hip Hop Congress for putting the jam together.  Then afterwards, don’t miss me spinning the best in R&B and soul music at Hapa Life from 8:30 – 11pm (2nd & Detroit in Cherry Creek).

THURSDAY, 6/24 -> The country’s premier producer battle hits Denver again and a dozen of region’s top producers are primed to battle head to head to see who has the biggest tune aka the best beats.  In case you missed last year’s Big Tune at Beta, MPC master Boonie Mayfield aka Boon Doc took the title, beating out some of Colorado’s top talent, including runner up DJ Psycho, up and coming prodigy Xperiment, world renowned turntablist turned beatmaker DJ Vajra, Yonas from Denver favorites the Pirate Signal and seven others to go to the national finals. Since then, virtually every producer I know has been getting their best beats together to vie for this year’s Denver Big Tune title, a chance to compete in the national finals in Chicago and a shot at the grand prize, a chance to record with the artist of their choice at Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica (previous winners have recorded with Young Buck, Nas & Ghostface).

As if that wasn’t enough, production legends Battlecat & Just Blaze will also be making their first appearances in Colorado, showcasing at the battle.  Battlecat’s production credits include west coast icons Snoop Dogg, Dogg Pound & Xzibit, to name a few.  Just Blaze’s resume is filled with icons too, including frequent collaborator Jay-Z, Eminem, T.I. & more.  Don’t miss both of them, the Big Tune crew (J Moore, Vitamin D, Jake One & DV One) and what promises to be a RIDICULOUS producer battle, all at the Church (1160 Lincoln St) on 6/24.  18+ / Doors at 8 / For free entry, RSVP at RedBullBigTune.com.

The Solution is going on summer break!!! The best club night in Denver (c) Westword will be back on 6/25 in a new location, join our e-mail list at DenverSolution.com for more details…

After over three years, the Solution and CO Clubs (Bar Standard, Funky Buddha, etc) have parted ways.  We had a blast in our time working with CO Clubs but over the last few months it became apparent that it was time for us to split.  With that said, the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme is far from over.  We’re gonna take the next two weeks off and return on Friday, 6/25 for the fourth annual DJ Low Key/Charley Cox/Lessondary birthday extravaganza (please leave your e-mail address at DenverSolution.com for updates on the party & location).  We apologize for the short notice, but trust, the stuff we have planned for the rest of the summer will make up for any inconvenience.

Summertime.  And every Denver hip hop head knows that Summer in Denver isn’t complete without the Solution crushing some dope patio.  This year is no different.  Starting on 5/28, the Solution will be rocking outside on Bar Standard’s BEAUTIFUL patio (it’s quite an upgrade from the Buddha’s rooftop, Blu said it reminded him of the infamous Do-Over when we first brought him out).  The forecast is in the 80s, we’ve got giveaways from Akomplice to get your gear game up, copies of the new Frank151, $3 Absolut drinks, $2 PBRs and you know the music’s gonna be on point at the best club in Denver (c) Westword , don’t miss it.  21+ / doors at 9 / Free until 11, only $5 after.

Friday, 4/23 -> Guru Tribute at the Solution, hosted by Ro Blvd + Sounds Supreme’s return + Boon Doc’s birthday party…

FRIDAY, 4/23 -> As I’m sure you already know, hip hop lost a legend when Guru of Gang Starr succumbed to complications from multiple myeloma earlier this week. Guru’s music has been a huge influence on both me & Sounds Supreme and when we heard the news, we knew that we need to push back our initial plans for this Friday (Chicken & Waffles will be next Friday, 3/30) at the Solution and dedicate the night to Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal.  You know the man, you know the music, please join us as we celebrate the life and music of Keith Elam.
