Saturday, 12/15 -> So What Soulstice Holiday Party w/DJ K-Nee, Big Styles & DJ Low Key at the Beauty Bar…Plus, I’m honored to be joining the legendary So What! crew on an ongoing basis!!!!!

SATURDAY, 12/15 at 9PM -> I’m honored to announce that DJ K-Nee & Big Styles, the founders of legendary Denver party So What!, recently invited me to join the crew after Peter Black retired earlier this year.  Starting with the annual So What! Soulstice Holiday Celebration this month, I’ll be joining the So What! crew on a monthly basis in bringing you the party at Beauty Bar Denver (608 13th Ave) plus other fun stuff and I can’t wait. Free before 11 / $5 cover after / 21+.

If you’re not familiar with So What!, it’s a hugely influential and progressive Denver party that’s been running since long before I got my first turntables and happens to be a HUGE inspiration in me and Sounds Supreme creating The Solution and really every non-top 40-based night I’ve ever started. Founded in 1993 (!!!) by DJ K-Nee and Big Styles (known as DJ Style N. Fashion at the time), So What! quickly added DJ Aztec (Peter Black of Analog Space) and hostess Miss Dierdre to the fold and has come a long way since being launched as “An Evening of Acid Jazz” at City Spirit and dominating Tuesdays for over a decade at venues ranging from 9th Avenue West/La Rumba to Rise to Lotus and of course, Rock Island, the place where I first had my first So What! experience. More recently, So What! has evolved into a monthly at Beauty Bar Denver and I’m excited to be a part of the legacy. Last but least, take a second to like the So What! facebook page to stay updated as the tradition of exceptional music continues.

I Remember: The top 3 Solution moments from writer Ru Johnson, Ill Seven of Isolated Generation, DJ Big Styles fka Styles N’ Fashion & Dunn the Signtogolist…

To get ready for the 4th Anniversary of the Solution on Friday, Feb. 4th, we’re checking in with some of our favorite regulars and people around Denver to hear what their favorite moments from the party have been.  Here’s favorites from writer Ru Johnson, Ill Seven of Isolated Generation, Denver hip hop legend Big Styles fka Styles N’ Fashion and nationally renowned artist Dunn the Signtologist; stay tuned for more classic memories leading up to the party on 2/4.

Ru Johnson’s top 3 Solution moments:

1.  One of my first times at The Solution (at the Buddha) one of the deejays played “Cher Chez La Ghost” and there were literally 20 of us singing and rapping at the top of our lungs. And, I’m pretty sure was a dance-off between Little Wing and some random guy in a vest. We banged on walls and the stage and danced like there was no tomorrow.

2.  Pretty recently at the 3014 location, Low Key effectively slayed our hip-hop souls with the addition of some Jay Electronica “Exhibit C” into the playlist. Looking over at several cats from the scene completely jammin out, I realized The Solution is the ONLY Friday night party that speaks to the hip-hop purist in me.

3.  It was a freezing Friday eve when the guys were still rocking at Funky Buddha. I was rolling deep with the homegirls and we decided to “last call” it at The Solution. Sounds Supreme dropped “Soldier of Love” (this was right when the song came out) and the vibe was so perfect, I could have been at a basement party in Brooklyn.
