FRIDAY, 12/18 -> Me and Sounds Supreme are happy to welcome the infamous DJ Benzi (of Clipse – We Got The Remix, The New Deal & Mike Posner fame) and ATL’s finest, Donnis, to the Solution.  If you’re still sleeping, go download the Donnis – Diary of an ATL Brave and DJ Benzi – The New Deal mixtapes, both presented by 10 Deep ASAP and catch up.  And as if bringing these guys out for a free party wasn’t enough, we’ve got giveaways from Fool’s Gold Records, Family Affair, Frank151 & more.  Consider it our Christmas gift to you.  21+ / No cover / Music at 9 / $3 Premium drafts and cocktails until 11.

Saturday, 12/19 -> Low Key & Vajra’s Christmas Party at So Damn Down at Shag

SATURDAY, 12/19 -> Me and world renowned turntablist DJ Vajra are getting together to throw a So Damn Down Christmas Party at Shag (15th & Champa downtown).  We’ll be rockin the best in hip hop with a few holiday twists (“Christmas in Hollis” of course, plus a few more seasonal jams) to get you in the season’s spirit.

Also, we’re gonna do a Secret Santa with records.  If you’re interested in participating hit me up at questions@djlowkey.com by Wednesday, 12/17 and I’ll get you more info and/or sign you up.  Basically everyone participating will randomly get assigned a person to buy a record or two for ($20 limit).  Because of the magic of digging, $20 or less could entail anything and that’s where the fun comes in (and no, you don’t have to be a DJ to do it, just a lover of music).  21+ / No cover / Starts at 10.

Popular Lemonade’s 4 Horsemen Party Pics…

Miss Rachel from PopularLemonade.com recently celebrated the site’s six month anniversary* with a crazy event featuring me & DJ Lazy Eyez at So Damn Down at Shag.  Her site’s super dope and has been doing crazy numbers and the party reflected it.  So Damn Down was packed, the vibe was perfect and 50 lucky people took home a remarkable LARD x Denver Frank x Whorebath x Filthe tee exclusive to that night.  The design for the front of the shirt is above and below are some pics from the party.  If you missed it, don’t worry, me and Miss Rachel are already talking about the next one.

More pics of the party after the jump, at PopularLemonade.com, LARD’s site, the General’s Booty, Denver Frank’s site, Flickr & probably a few other place if you look (yes, the party was that epic, word to Miss Rachel, I guess lemonade is popular).

Sunday, 11/8 -> Dunn the Signtologist Closing at Hapa Life w/DJ Low Key

SUNDAY, 11/8 -> Whatever you do, make sure you go see the Dunn the Signtologist art show at Hapa before it ends on 11/14, most preferably on Sunday night after 8:30 for happy hour specials and music by me.  I’ll be playing all sort of dope soul, R&B and hip hop and there’s a ton of great happy hour specials; 2 for $7 rolls, $3.50 sake specials, 10% for service industry & more.  All that is great, but the real star of the show is Dunn’s art.  Dude went all out and created a bunch of custom pieces including a 4-piece Karate Kid set, Shonuff from the Last Dragon, an amazing Bruce Lee piece and that’s not even the half.  I’ve been watching people gawk at how fresh they are every time I’ve DJed over the last few weeks and the show is definitely something you need to see before it’s too late.  2nd & Detroit in Cherry Creek / Music at 8:30 / All Ages.
