The Solution is on Instagram & we’re adding an official photographer to the team! Introducing Armando aka Knower Of The Ledge!!!

If you’ve been following the party for a decent amount of time, you know that we rarely add anyone to the team.  Over the years, the party’s roster has included resident DJs Low Key, Lazy Eyez & Sounds Supreme, official/infamous bartender Jessica and the young homies DJ Dozen & B-Money during The Solution Boulder’s short run (also, huge shouts to honorary members like the cats at Family Affair, Akomplice & Denver Frank).

On that note, we recently made a HUGE addition to the team that we’re excited to announce and his name is @KnowerOfTheLedge aka Armando aka the first official Solution photographer!  He’ll be documenting all of our fun times at the party, and he’s already off to a great start. Take a quick minute to head to his Instagram page to get familiar with his work and see why he’s one of our favorite photographers in Denver, then head over to our Instagram page at @DenverSolution to see what we’ve been up (make sure to follow both, obviously)!  Also, make sure you check out even more great party pics from Armando in the galleries on our Facebook page!!!

Friday, 11/22 -> Come donate a toy to low income children at The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez for no cover all night long, Michael Coriano Art Of Records III stickers & more at the Meadowlark!!! Still no cover before 11 though!!!

FRIDAY, 11/22 -> It’s been a great year at The Solution in 2013 and right on time for the big holiday season, we’re excited to give back some by helping collect new, unwrapped gifts to donate low income children via Hope Communities, an organization that provides low income housing and services to refugees and immigrants in the Denver area.  We’ll be partying as usual at The Solution, with award-winning DJs Low Key & Lazy Eyez rocking on the turntables (4 best hip hop DJ in Denver awards between them!), no cover til 11 and such, but if you bring a present we’ll waive the cover for you and a guest if you show up after 11 and send you home with a nice little gift or two from us (something like a super high quality Michael Coriano Art Of Records III Ink Monstr sticker, a Solution magnet for your fridge, mixtape, etc).  It doesn’t need to be anything extravagant, you don’t need to wrap it and half the crowd shows up after 11 on a given Friday anyway; might as well put that cover money to better use and bring a small gift for needy child, everybody ends up better off that way!!!  Party photos by Knower Of The Ledge at IG: @DenverSolution / 2701 Larimer St / 9pm / 21+ / No cover until 11, only $5 after without a present.

P.S.  This is just the first of a few different events we’re involved in to help the community this holiday season, stay tuned for more ways to join us in having fun while helping good causes through the winter!!!

Things got a whole lot crazier over the weekend.  We’re excited to be doubling the fun for Friday from our initial plans, here’s the 3 reasons why:

2: Longtime friend of the party and producer/DJ extraordinaire Kid Hum (Welcome To The D.O.P.E. Game) is about to head out of town for a long trip to Tokyo & other parts of Asia, so come out and wish the homie off on a good trip.

3: We’re looking forward to welcoming The Cluck Truck back for another culinary guest spot.  They’re easily one of the tastiest food trucks in town and we can’t wait have them back for another round of delicious fried chicken, homemade pickles & lots more.
