Sunday, 9/1 at 3pm -> Mas Chingon Goodness w/DJ Low Key, special guests DJ Amen & DJ Wushu and the return of El Chingon for one week only on the Meadowlark’s patio!!!

 

SUNDAY, 9/1 at 3PM -> Damn.  It’s already September, the last month of Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends on the Meadowlark’s patio.  Ugh.  It hurts to type that, but it’s true, and on that note, we’re definitely going to be making the most of the month, starting with this weekend’s Mas Chingon Goodness, featuring two ridiculously dope special guests, DJ Amen (Radio Bums) & DJ Wushu (Bass Crooks), joining me on the turntables.

Why’s it called Mas Chingon Goodness, you ask?  Because we’re bringing back Chef David Lopez and the El Chingon crew to do tacos for us for one week only!  If you came out to any Goodnesses in 2012, you already know that they make some incredible (the more traditional yin to Moontower’s fusion yang) tacos and a whole lot more and with their new location at 44th and Tennyson not quite open yet, this party is your best chance to get your Chingon fix for a minute.  21+ / No Cover / 3-10pm.

BTW, there are only 5 more 2013 Goodnesses left (four Sundays + a bonus Power To The DJs edition Goodness on Labor Day), don’t miss a single one!  Also, if you’re wondering, Moontower Tacos will be back next Sunday!!!

SUNDAY, 8/25 at 3PM -> It’s that time of year again, school is back and while that really doesn’t have anything to do with my “grown up”, post-college, DJ for living lifestyle, I know in some way, shape or form, it effects everybody else.  On that note, we’re marking the occasion with Back To School Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends on the Meadowlark’s patio with special guests DJ Soup & DJ Matt Cassidy joining me on the turntables.  We’ll also have culinary guests The Cluck Truck in the house with delicious, Southern-style fried chicken and lots more (don’t worry, Moontower Tacos will be back next month). 21+ / No Cover / 3-10pm.

The Solution…Every Friday night at The 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
