WEDNESDAY, 1/22 -> Time for second edition of POURTY (pronounced like party but extra hype, like it has “!!!” at the end) with the one and only Yonnas Abraham of BLKHRTS fame aka The Color Dark.  We debuted the party on Thanksgiving Eve to great results and we’re excited to build on them with two of Denver’s top MCs, Turner Jackson (Black Electric Love out now) & Trev Rich (Heights 3 out now), making special guest appearances.  Just like last time, we’re not stopping the party for the performances, at POURTY we’re only having cats rock straight up JAMS within the party, on some classic era MC & DJ hip hop shit and based on the first POURTY, it’s a great way to do things.  Last but not least, a reminder: POURTY isn’t just a hip hop party by any means, catch us rocking everything exceptional in music, from The Cure to Cashmere Cat, Kendrick Lamar to Prince, Sizzla to Thundercat (you get the picture, right?).  Expect intense fun at Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St), starting at 9pm.  Swing through after the Justin Timberlake show and balance out your suit & tie-worthy evening…LOL. / 21+ / No cover until 10pm, only $5 after.

The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez…Every Friday night at the award-winning Meadowlark…Here’s what they say about us…

“Every Friday night at the Meadowlark, The Solution lives up to its tagline, “The best in hip-hop and a whole lot more.” DJ Low Key and Lazy Eyez have crafted an event that lives comfortably inside the realm of quality hip-hop, and still manages to always incorporate artists and records that are mere relatives of the genre. The flawless blend of music packs the dance floor with the eclectic mix of attendees, the DJs are consistently the cream of the damn crop, and every once in a while one of your favorite national artists will slide through with the intimate performance of a lifetime. If you’re sleeping on this one, it’s time to wake the hell up.” – HipHopRollCall.com

“The best hip hop night in Denver” – DearDenver.net

“At this point, the Solution is well on its way to becoming a Denver institution. But it isn’t just our town’s longest-running and most revered hip-hop night — it’s also a testament to quality and resilience. Despite having moved virtually all over town since it was founded half a dozen years ago by DJ Low Key and DJ Sounds Supreme, the Solution continues to draw a faithful crowd wherever — and however — it goes. Even after the Solution took a hiatus from weekly parties, the Solution crew continued to offer showcases featuring a parade of the best local MCs and producers, along with lauded acts from elsewhere. And last month, when the Solution returned to a weekly format at its new home at The Meadowlark, all was right in the cosmos again.” – Westword

Friday, 12/27 -> Judith & Joe Fashion & Records returns to The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at The Meadowlark…Get decked out for New Year’s Eve and an extra 10% off coats…

FRIDAY, 12/27 -> After debuting at The Solution to great reviews on Black Friday, we’re excited to be welcoming Judith & Joe Fashion & Records back to The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at The Meadowlark.  It’s a great chance to get decked out in some unique gear for New Year’s Eve, plus they’re taking an extra 10% off coats for the night.  Swing by, get fitted for NYE and party at “Denver’s best hip hop party” (c) Dear Denver. 2701 Larimer St / 9pm / 21+ / No cover until 11, only $5 after.

Tuesday, 12/31 -> New Year’s Eve w/DJ Low Key at La Biblioteca! Only $60 for bottomless drinks & apps, party favors and more at one of Denver’s best new spots (attached to Zengo)!!!

TUESDAY, 12/31 -> 2013 has probably been my best year of DJing to date and I’m excited to be wrapping up in great fashion at La Biblioteca, the brand new tequila “library”/lounge/restaurant/sister space to Zengo at 1610 Little Raven Street (check out pictures here).  I’ll be on turntables spinning all that goodness you love, but the music’s only part of the fun; for $60 a person you get bottomless small plates and appetizers, plus some party favors to bring the new year (reservations required, call 720.904.0965 / Also, if you have dinner at Zengo before, entry for the NYE party at La Biblioteca is discounted).  Based on last year’s New Year’s Eve at Al Lado (Zengo’s previous sister lounge), things should pretty crazy and end up fully-booked, so make sure you make your reservations early for one’s of Denver’s best NYE options.

More info on La Biblioteca from their web site:

Steps from the Millennium Bridge in the heart of Denver’s RiverFront Park neighborhood, La Biblioteca comes to Denver by way of internationally-recognized Chef Richard Sandoval. Modeled after Chef’s esteemed New York City concept, “the Library of Tequila,” serves up a collection of his personal favorite tequila selections and a menu of Latin-Asian chef inspired cuisine ranging from sushi, wok dishes to carefully-curated small plates, tacos, and salads.

Boasting one of the largest collections of tequilas, mezcals, and agave spirits in the nation, with over 350 to choose from, La Biblioteca is intimate, with a hint of mystery. Bottles align the walls — all organized in categories — and serve to support our library theme. You’ll find tequilas aged anywhere from seven days to 25 years, and we’re betting you’ll taste one you like.

As the evening ages, the tequila library transitions into a high-energy late-night lounge where you’ll “check-out” bottles of tequila instead of books and have them stored in your personal locker to sip on upon your return. Happy hour, dinner, viewing the game, late night cocktails- the Biblioteca experience is yours.

Salud y buen provecho!
