April 29, 2013 / / No comments

FRIDAY, 5/3 -> Don’t miss an extra special edition of The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St) as we team up with TiredPirate & Family Affair for our first limited edition Art Of Records tee (!!!!!), right on time to commemorate the one year passing of rap legend MCA of the Beastie Boys.  We’re taking TiredPirate’s fantastic Ill Communication-inspired piece from The Art Of Records, flipping into a fresh t-shirt, then releasing at The Solution while we go heavy on the Beastie Boys to celebrate the life of MCA and the music of the Beastie Boys (plus a lot of the top quality hip hop we normally rock).  To make things even better, proceeds from the sale of the tee are going to a Colorado scene fixture, the Denver chapter of national nonprofit Hip Hop Congress.

On top of the tees, Hip Hop Congress will be running a raffle with a ridiculous lineup of prizes to raise money for Summer’s annual Spirit Of Hip Hop Park Jam, including great stuff from the likes of Rawh Brand, Xencs L. Wing, TiredPirate, Joseph Martinez, DJ Matt Cassidy & more, plus of course, a few of our limited Public Microphone tees.  We’ll be rocking the best in hip hop & a whole lot more on the turntables, The Cluck Truck will be parked out front with delicious food (check their menu HERE, it look like a perfect compliment to a good beer or post party wrap up meal) and all shall be right in the Denver for the night.

Complimentary photo booth / Beautiful patio / $5 Red Bull & Svedka / 21+ / No cover until 11 / Only $5 after / “Our town’s longest running & most revered hip hop night…A testament to quality” – Westword / More info on the party on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr

P.S. We have a second colorway to unveil too, gotta love that!!!

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.

Also, Family Affair is releasing the highly anticipated Nike Air Max Hyperposite – “Crimson” at 6pm too.  Here’s what Family Affair has to say about the infamous new shoe from Nike:

What do you get when you mix the iconic Foamposite with the newly innovative Hyperfuse? You create the Frankenstein-like Nike Air Max Hyperposite. Releasing this weekend in the “Bright Crimson” makeup, the hybrid sneaker is set to go on sale for $225. Cop this very first colorway of the new sneaker at Family Affair Denver during the meet-and-greet of BranDun Deshay on Saturday night at 6pm.

Saturday, 2/25 from 6-9pm -> The Art Of Records Opening at Family Affair, curated by Dunn The Signtologist & DJ Low Key…

February 16, 2012 / / No comments

SATURDAY, 2/25 from 6-9pm -> Over the last few decades album art has gone from a 12” canvases to a 2” screens, and that’s usually the best-case scenario for the often incredible art that accompanies music releases.  Landmark albums like A Tribe Called Quest’s Low End Theory, Nas’s Illmatic and De La Soul is Dead have instantly recognizable covers that are embedded in music and art lovers’ psyches forever, but the 12” as a canvas has become a rarity in the public eye.  Everyone from music and art lovers to average people on the street still connect to both the album art and 12” format, yet we rarely take the time to honor the truly great ones.  The Art Of Records is an exhibit that aims to do just that; focusing on the legacy of exceptional art accompanying exceptional music and the idea of introducing both to a new generation.

The Art Of Records combines art, music and tradition to celebrate and honor the rich history and mystique of record cover art, 12″ vinyl and the artists that create it (both musically and graphically). Curated by Dunn the Signtologist and DJ Low Key, the exhibit features a series of classic 12″ album and single covers re-imagined and recreated by top artists in Denver.  The 12” covers will also be on display and the concept comes full circle with DJ Low Key playing an all vinyl set of the featured records as the night’s soundtrack.  Please join us at Family Affair (2048 Larimer St downtown) as we recognize and pay homage to the talented assortment of artists that make The Art Of Records so important to us all.  Complimentary drinks /// No Cover /// All Ages.
