THURSDAY, 1/22 -> Yep, it’s that time of year again. Winter X-Games fever has hit Colorado and anyone who doesn’t hate the winter is excited for them to start on Thursday.  Akomplice & All Us Shred Magazine are gettin things off to a dope start at one of Aspen’s best spots, Club Chelsea, with the Local Launch featuring music by me and two of Aspen’s finest, Deeogee & Big O Tone. It’s the only party at the Winter X-Games thrown by companies from here in Colorado, there’s gonna be giveaways from everybody with a logo on the flyer above & since it’s one of the only big parties open to the public on Thursday, you better come out early (last time I DJed at the X-Games the party hit capacity within fifteen minutes of opening the door and it was one in, one out for the rest of the night, PLEASE make sure you come early). 21+ / 415 E Hyman Ave in Aspen.

TUESDAY, 1/20 -> Come join me, DJ Squirt & Boo Bear on inauguration night at Cherry Creek’s Bar Luxe as we get the next 4 years off to a great start.  The vibe at the spot is cool, we’ve got a bunch of specials (on everything from champagne to beer to martinis) & of course, dope music with an extra motivational/political feel (I’ve got some great stuff to play, trust). Come put the perfect wrap on a great day in American history with us. Downstairs at 231 Milwaukee St (2 blocks north of the Cherry Creek Mall) / 21+ / No Cover / Music at 9.

* PS The image above is a piece done by Chris Cox aka Change The Thought, one of my favorite artists in Denver.  His art won’t be at Bar Luxe on Tuesday, but he’s an AMAZING artist who you should look into regardless.

THURSDAY, 12/18 -> It’s that time again.  The weather finally got cold (with a vengeance…damn), snow is hitting the mountains steady & now you can catch me spinning the best in hip hop every Thursday night at Cecilia’s in Breckenridge.  The night is called Moonlighting w/DJ Low Key and we’re gonna bring some different type events up to Summit County.  Some fashion shows, art openings, four hour stores (bringing boutique brands up to the mountains for one night only) & all sorts of other fun iddish.  We’re setting it off with an AST Dew Tour Pre-Party featuring $3 Red Bull Vodkas, $2 Coors Light & $2.50 Tuaca shots, plus free mixtapes and giveaways courtesy of Frank151 & more. 520 South Main Street / 21+.

SATURDAY, 11/15 from 8-midnight -> We’re setting off the Estate LA Pop-Up Store at Family Affair with a launch party featuring some BEAUTIFUL exclusive fitteds, a CRAZY snowboard photography opening from Ian Ruther & Cole Barash and great music by none other than me, myself & I aka DJ Low Key. Hypebeast has a couple of sneak peaks at some more of the fitteds, High Snobriety has some others & EXPN seems pretty hyped, check out their article below and whatever you do, don’t miss it. No cover / 1527 19th Street / Downtown Denver.

From EXPN.com -> The new king of fitted hats, with that street-smart swagger like no one on the corner, Estate LA is making moves with a first time pop-up store in Denver at Family Affair. (Pop Ups are super limited—out-of-nowhere—retail spots that are only open for a like second. Gonzo today … dunzo tomorrow. The concept is all the hype.) Off the top of my head: this is a damn fine idea for this cool kids company.

Estate will be throwing a big launch party November 15, 2008 with tons of gear that will exclusively be available at the Denver shop, including several special collab pieces and colorways. The store will be open from November 15th-December 31st.

Also of noted interest:”2″ the traveling snowboard photography exhibit featuring the work of Cole Barash and Ian Ruther will be up on display for artful appreciation.

FRIDAY, 11/8 from 7-10pm -> Straight from the press release…Culture Mob Presents REFLECTIONS: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together. The underground graffiti culture has reached a new elegance in Denver. The Street Sign Artist; Dunn, also known as the Signtologist (as coined by the famous MC Black Thought, from the legendary hip hop group, The Roots) is an artist best known for his unique style of painting portraits on recycled street signs. Inspired by artists such as Justin Bua, Dunn also has a background in graphic design and animation. His works grace the walls of artists both nationally and internationally including: Dave Chappelle, Kanye West, John Legend, Blackalicious and more. Rachel Crick is a social documentary photographer. Based in Denver, she has traveled to Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles photographing subjects as diverse as bi-racial families, a man’s journey to priesthood, Hip Hop artists and beyond. She has photographed a diverse array of musicians including Nas, Method Man, Rage Against the Machine, John Legend, De La Soul, Atmosphere, Les Nubians and more. The two artists have come together to produce an event that combines the beauty of both their art forms. Dunn has created a portrayal of Crick’s work on street signs, reflecting the uniqueness and individuality of both of their work. The result is Reflections: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together. Opening Night is November 7th at the Robusto Room and will feature Denver’s finest DJ – DJ Low Key spinning Hip Hop and R&B.  No cover / The Robusto Room (9535 Park Meadows Dr).
