FRIDAY, 10/25 -> This year Halloween falls on a weekday, so we’re kicking off the celebrations almost a week early at The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez with all sorts of fun stuff.  If you’ve got a good costume, make sure you rock it, we’re giving away a pair of tickets to the Kanye West/Kendrick Lamar show to the best one.  Everybody’s a winner though, we’ll have free candy and a couple of piñatas to smash (that’s last year’s Frankenstein piñata on the flyer), not to mention award-winning music and your favorite Halloween oriented jams!

As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve super excited to announce that Knower Of The Ledge (IG: @KnowerOfTheLedge) will be joining The Solution (take a quick minute to check our new instagram page at @DenverSolution) as the party’s official photographer.  He’ll be with us every Friday from now on, taking pictures of the party and documenting all our great times at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St)!!!  9pm / No cover til 11pm / Only $5 after / 21+.

UPDATE:

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:

1: We’re teaming up with the one and only Opt Won & Chubby Robot to make The Solution the official afterparty for the highly  anticipated Diehorrorama art show, a horror film themed diorama art show at Eslinger Gallery (118 South Broadway) from 6-9pm that you won’t want to miss.  It’s features 20 or so of Denver’s best artists, treats by The Shoppe, our homies DJ Tense & DJ Unison on the turntables and more fun.  It’s a perfect way to get your night going before The Solution!

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.

Friday, 10/18 -> Special guest Deejay Tense (Stay Tuned/Crunk Brothers) at The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at the Meadowlark…

FRIDAY, 10/18 -> This week, we’re bringing in half of Stay Tuned (along with partner Mane Rok) and Crunk Brother extraordinaire Deejay Tense for some turntable fun.  He’s been a fixture of the Colorado scene for years, racking up Westword “Best Hip Hop DJ” nominations, opening for a who’s who of hip hop and gaining quite a rep throughout Denver and beyond.  He’ll be joining Solution residents DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez and keeping the “best hip hop party in Denver” (c) DearDenver.net rocking all night long at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St).  9pm / No cover til 11pm / Only $5 after / 21+.

Friday, 9/27 -> The Neptunes vs Timbaland at The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at The Meadowlark…Jams from some of the best hip hop/R&B/pop producers ever, all night long!!!

FRIDAY, 9/27 -> For years, we’ve been talking about throwing a party where we pit The Neptunes and Timbaland’s music head to head, since we’re HUGE fans of both and between them, they’ve dominated the hip hop/R&B/pop production landscape for 15+ years and made some of favorite songs to play out.  Also, we’re happy for any excuse to play more N.E.R.D. songs, random Timbaland remixes and S.B.I. songs (if you know, you know!).  DJ Low Key will be rocking all your favorite Chad Hugo & Pharrell tunes for Team Star Trak & Lazy Eyez will be repping Team Timbo & crew all night.  Come early if you’re trying to catch the more random joints, but trust, we’re going in all night at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St).  9pm / No cover til 11pm / Only $5 after / 21+.

SUNDAY, 9/22 at 3pm -> Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow.  We all knew it was coming and it’s here, the last Goodness of Summer 2013.  With that said, Summer 2013 has been INCREDIBLE and trust, the party is going to close it out in grand fashion.  As always, the DJ lineup is extra dope, with me, DJ Forge (2-time Red Bull Thre3 Style NC Champ / Jukebox Heroes), Basementalism legend Inka One (Los Angeles / Boombox), 2013 Westword “best hip hop DJ in Denver” winner Lazy Eyez & a surprise guest blessing the turntables.

So yeah, you’re more than covered on music, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  To commemorate another fantastic Summer, we’re having Gabe/Filthe come in to do complimentary bring your own shirt screenprinting.  What does that mean, you ask?  It meas you can bring in a blank shirt to the party and we’ll turn it into a fresh, Goodness 2013 tee on the spot, for free!!!  Yeah, that’s gonna be kinda dope.  There’s a lot more going on though, I’m gonna let the pictures help with the rest.

San Francisco’s DJ Gordo, founder of nationally syndicated party Motown On Mondays, on the party: “Goodness is that rare kind of outdoor party where pouring rain and thunder only fuels the fire on the dance floor and brings people closer together.  Don’t go to Denver and miss out on Goodness!”

Red Bull Thre3 Style Los Angeles champion & former US finals runner up D-JR has “Nothing but the best things to say about DJ Low Key’s party Goodness”

World renowned artist & your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ, Chris Karns describes it as “The only patio party I have ever given a shit enough about to go to.”.
