Saturday, 2/16 -> So What! Soul Suite w/DJ K-Nee, Big Styles, DJ Low Key and special guests DJ Bella Scratch & Bianca Mikahn at Beauty Bar Denver…

February 12, 2013 / / No comments

SATURDAY, 2/16 -> Last month, I joined So What! OGs DJ K-Nee, Big Styles & surprise guest DJ Aztec/Peter Black in celebrating the party’s unprecedented 20 year run here in Denver at Beauty Bar and it was INSANE.  Well over 600 people came to pay tribute to the pioneering party in sweat, love and dance and it was an incredible thing.  Multiple generations of Denver music lovers got down to decades of jazz influenced music of all sorts in what would probably best be described as a musical lovefest.

The love continues on, and just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend, So What! is back with a party full of super dynamite soul and two special guests.  Here’s the lineup:

The So What! DJs:
DJ K-Nee
DJ Low Key
DJ Big Styles

+
Your MC for the evening Bianca Mikahn
and very special guest DJ Bella Scratch

And as always, your host the lovely Ms. Deirdre

Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St) / 9PM / No Cover before 10:30 / $5 after / 21+.

Friday, 2/15 -> Denver Dre Day 2013 at The Solution w/DJ Low Key, Lazy Eyez & special guest DJ Dozen at the Meadowlark…A night full of everything Dr. Dre & more…

February 11, 2013 / / No comments

 

FRIDAY, 2/15 -> Before we even talk about Dre Day, I gotta shout out everyone who came out to our weekly relaunch/6 year anniversary party/#TheSolution6 kickoff last Friday at the Meadowlark.  I knew it was going to be a good night, but calling it a good party would be an understatement; after a wall to wall packed turnout, complete with a super cool crowd going wild to great music from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Donald Byrd & Dilla, I think it’s safe to say The Solution’s new weekly home is a hit.  Special guest DJ Izer, Sounds Supreme, Lazy Eyez, and surprise guest DJ Chris Karns aka the DJ formerly known as Vajra aka 2011 DMC world champion, DJ legend and Yelawolf’s touring DJ all tore things down while the crowd went on one wild musical ride (my set went over pretty well too, check out what I played here).  Whether you made it out or not, there are a ton of beautiful pictures of the party on Westword.com and via the Meadowlark’s photobooth on The Solution’s facebook page that you should take a look at.

So let’s talk Dre Day.  Dre Day is a national phenomenon that’s popped up over last few years, as parties all over the country are taking it upon themselves to honor to music and career of Andre Young aka Dr. Dre.  I’m not sure if there’s been one in Denver before, but we’re excited to make one happen.  Me, Lazy Eyez and special guest DJ Dozen (Welcome To The D.O.P.E. Game) will be holding down the turntables and spinning everything Dre related, from the World Class Cru days through the N.W.A-era into the Death Row dynasty and onward to the Aftermath and “Detox” eras, complete with guest spots, original samples, features, other production and everything else Dre’s been affiliated with, all the way up to his Kendrick verses.  21+/Free until 11/$5 after/2701 Larimer St. – DJ Low Key

Starting Friday, 2/8 -> The Solution w/DJ Low Key, Lazy Eyez & more is back weekly!!! Every Friday night at the award-winning Meadowlark!!!

February 1, 2013 / / No comments

EVERY FRIDAY, STARTING 2/8 -> The Solution is back.  Every Friday night.  Say it with me one time, The Solution is back, every Friday night.  Ahhhh, it sounds so nice.  Not that we haven’t been doing parties all around town over the last year or two, but it’s nice to have a good home base for the party that people can count on every weekend.  Now that you’ve hopefully committed the basics to memory, let’s talk details.

After a dozen and a fantastic Summer of daytime parties at Goodness (which will be back in May, btw), the Meadowlark seemed like the perfect fit to make our weekly home; most y’all have already been through before and really like it, they have the flexibility to support performances, the drinks aren’t too pricey, the vibe is good and most importantly, they trust and appreciate us as DJs, promoters & cultivators of a music community (the owner constantly tells me how much loves the diverse crowd we bring in, try finding that attitude at most venues near downtown).  Plus, their patio will be the cherry on top for warm Summer nights (although after 10PM, the DJs have to be inside).

So check it out, here’s the new plan for Fridays at the Meadowlark, The Solution, & Introducing (the happy hour party I recently started, based around new music).  Things will kick off with Introducing w/DJ Low Key from 5-9pm, complete with complimentary green chile tamales and lots of brand new music.  Then at 9pm, things will switch over to The Solution w/DJ Low Key, Lazy Eyez, (sometimes) Sounds Supreme, special guests and everything hip hop and great in life.  Then, once a month, we’ll feature on a Friday night to give Denver its monthly fix of the best in up and coming national and local talent.

On 2/8, we’ll be kicking off our six year anniversary aka #TheSolution6 with me, DJ Lazy Eyez, Special guest DJ Izer and a surprise or two on the turntables, plus we’ll be celebrating the birthdays of #COhiphop favs and our friends Xencs L Wing, Joe Blizzy & Bravo One.  Should be another one for the books, see y’all there!  21+/Free until 11/$5 after/2701 Larimer St.

THURSDAY, 1/31 in Boulder & FRIDAY, 2/1 in Aspen -> Rap legends The Pharcyde are coming to Colorado to commemorate 20 years since the release of their classic debut Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde in 1993 and I’m hyped that they reached out to me to open for some of the dates.  Bootie Brown and Uncle Imani are rocking all the classics and choice new joints with a band, plus me and DJ Cavem Moetavation will be getting things started at both shows. There’s no Denver date this time around, so head on up to Boulder (or Aspen if you need to escape the Front Range) and catch the anniversary celebration of a certified hip hop classic!

Saturday, 1/26 -> The Solution Showcase #12 w/Yonas Michael (aka Y-O, formerly of U-N-I), Team Latchkey, Yorrissey, DJ Low Key & B-Money at the Meadowlark…

January 16, 2013 / / No comments

SATURDAY, 1/26 -> For our twelfth edition, The Solution Showcase kicks off 2013 by importing one of our good friends from Los Angeles, Yonas Michael aka Y-O (formerly of U-N-I), as our out of town featured act.  Y-O’s gonna be joined by super hype Denver up and comers Team Latchkey, BLK HRTS/Pirate Signal producer/mastermind Yorrissey, Solution co-founder DJ Low Key & Solution Boulder alum B-Money for what promises to be another dose of the best in hip hop at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St).

Even if you’re not familiar with the name Yonas Michael or The Mixtape Before Blvck Swan Theory, his recent project with mixtape monster Mick Boogie, you should know Y-O his work in critically acclaimed (and former XXL Freshmen feature) group, U-N-I, including being one of the hosts of our mixtape, The Solution Tape #1, a few years back.  Featured Denver act Team Latchkey has two producers who’s names should ring a bell, as both DealzMakesBeats & J Gunna aka Black Jordan were featured at the party last year.  They’ll be joined by the rest of the crew (Morning After, Big Keim, B Smith & DJ Hobo) in the six man group’s official Solution Showcase debut.  Yorrissey, producer for recently signed Denver heavyweights BLK HRTS and award-winning Pirate Signal, will be rocking beats as our featured producer for this month.  DJ Low Key and Denver favorite B-Money will be holding down things on the turntables and making sure things are just as much a party as a rap show and that should round out another top notch lineup for your listening, dancing and drink pleasure.  9pm/21+/$5 pre-sales at all 3 Family Affair locations or only $8 at the door.

Starting Friday, 1/18 from 5-9pm -> Introducing w/DJ Low Key is moving to Fridays during happy hour at the Meadowlark…Kick off your weekends right with a fix of new music & new experiences…

January 14, 2013 / / No comments

 

Starting FRIDAY, 1/18 from 5-9pm -> Introducing w/DJ Low Key, my recently-launched weekly based around the idea of introducing you to cool new stuff and experiences, through music, people, food, art and a whole lot more, is moving from Wednesday nights to Friday happy hour at the Meadowlark.  It just seems right; instead of having to drag yourself out midweek to check out some fun, new stuff, you can stop by after work or before you head on a Friday night for some cheap drinks and whatever randomness I’m bringing in on a given evening.  We have some crazy good happy hour specials to get your night of good decisions going too:

$2 Domestics / $3 Imports
$3 Wells / $3.50 Select Calls
Special Winter Cocktails

Also, we’re bringing in green chili tamales from La Casita every week in case you’re hungry, fresh from work, or need a snack to kick off your evening.  With all said, consider Introducing your holdover until things warm back up for Goodness (I’m thinking early May right now, can’t wait for that!!!).  The patio is partially enclosed and heated, but the party is based inside the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St) while it’s colder.  So now you know, every Friday evening I’ll be bringing something new and cool to the table, plus spinning a variety of music that will hopefully put you on to some new favorites.  Come through, check it out, you’ll be glad you did.  21+ / No cover / 5-9PM.

Sunday, 1/20 at 10:30 am -> Zengo Bottomless Brunch w/guest DJ Low Key…$35 for endless small plates & cocktails at one of Denver’s best restaurants…

January 10, 2013 / / No comments

 

SUNDAY, 1/20 from 10:30am-2:30pm -> Last month was great, from getting recognized as “the DJ from last night at Beauty Bar” to the GM getting hyped for D’Angelo songs to the ongoing requests from tables to turn the music up, and now I’m back again with another guest set at Zengo’s incredible Bottomless Brunch (1610 Little Raven St).  For $35 you get all endless cocktails and delicious small plates you can handle from one of the best restaurants in town (look at the damage me and Zengo resident, DJ Cyn did below) while I spin all sorts of feel good music to make your Sunday the highlight of your week.  Some of my picks are the carnitas hash, thai chicken empanadas, shrimp vegetable potsickers and acho bacon & eggs with a Zengo (blood orange/mango) mimosa, but the joy of bottomless brunch means you can try whatever looks good on their delicious menu.
