Friday, 6/14 -> Qknox Fundraiser at The Solution w/an unprecedented Big Wheel “Live Mixtape” style performance & DJ Low Key at the Meadowlark + Silent Auction to benefit a key member of the Denver music scene!!!

June 9, 2013 / / No comments

FRIDAY, 6/14 -> We’re super excited about this week’s Solution for a few reasons and once you check them, you will be too:

(a) First & foremost, we’re looking forward to helping Denver music/hip hop/jazz/r&b/etc fixture Qknox replace his computer and other equipment that was stolen a few weeks back at Appaloosa.  We’re working with him and his HUGE network of friends in the art, music and other parts of the Denver to put together a crazy silent auction to help.

(b) Q and his partners in the band Big Wheel are gonna rock an unprecedented live mixtape style set covering a variety of favorites from all different eras, consider it a ridiculous band doing their own live take on a ridiculous hip hop DJ set.

(c) We already know Qknox is gonna bring out some cool motherfuckers and between them and the already fresh crowd and packed Fridays we’ve been having, the party should be pretty fantastic.

DJ Low Key will be rocking the turntables solo to compliment Big Wheel with all the best in hip hop, soul, funk, R&B, house, reggae & everything else dope while Lazy Eyez will be on the road DJing for The Reminders this week.  Gotta love seeing The Solution crew and Colorado hip hop making it’s way around the country.  9pm / 21+ / No cover til 11 / $5 after / 2701 Larimer St.

SUNDAY, 6/9 -> Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends is back with another Sunday full of magic as we officially mark a year since the party launched.  I couldn’t have asked for more great music and amazing people to come through since things kicked off and I’m already looking forward to years and years of the same fun as we continue on.

Back in the present, I’m really excited for Sunday’s International Goodness, as me, Crunk Brother extraordinaire DJ Discord & Boulder party fixture DJ Haus spin jams with from, and with, influences from all over the world, all afternoon long (US included…LOL…No cop out though).  Veteran of numerous pilgrimages to Brazil, Discord will be spin a funky Brazilian mix that dips into tropicalia, bossa nova & samba.  DJ Haus will be covering a variety of worldwide sounds, taking us on what he calls his “musical safari” that is sure to open up your ears to some great new sounds.  I’ll be doing what I can to compliment their deep catalogs of music and hopefully everybody leaves with some new favorite jams.

Moontower Tacos & Denver Dessert Trolley will be keeping us happy and fed all day, the vibe should be pretty fantastic and at 10PM, we’ll be closing things out with a Goodness Film Club screening of Searching For Sugar Man, the all but unbelievable yet true take of Rodriguez, an all but unknown 70s musician from Detroit turned unlikeliest South African music icon, on the Meadowlark’s magical patio. 2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

Friday, 5/24 -> Carl Carrell Listening+Birthday Party & The Cluck Truck at The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at the Meadowlark…

May 16, 2013 / / No comments

FRIDAY, 5/24 -> Time for another busy Friday night filled with great music and more at The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez.   Things are kicking off early with a 9pm listening party for good friend of the party and one of Denver’s best kept secrets, Carl Carrell.  Carl’s been coming to the party for years, always mentioning that he’s working music, but rarely giving us much to listen to until just recently, when he sent DJ Low Key a collection of demos that blew him away, some of which we’ve been playing at the party lately to great responses.  In conjunction with Carl’s birthday (and in advance of his Solution Showcase performance next month, along with Brooklyn’s own Tanya Morgan, DJ Matt Cassidy & more), we’re going to give Denver a sneak preview of his upcoming CRL CRRLL project that you won’t want to miss.  From there, it’s full on celebration time the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St), with the best in hip hop and a lot more on the speakers to groove to, drinks flowing and food by The Cluck Truck, easily one of the tastiest food trucks in town.  21+ / 9pm / Complimentary photo booth / No cover til 11 / $5 after.

May 14, 2013 / / No comments

 

SUNDAY, 5/19 at 3pm ->  Goodness continues on in grand fashion with another super dope DJ lineup, this time with Denver Nuggets team DJ, DJ Bedz, Los Angeles-bred DJ/producer Spyda T.E.K. and the Bay Area’s Truth Live joining me on the turntables.  DJ Bedz spins in front of hundreds of thousands of people every year, but rarely gets to flex his deep crates like this, 2013 Solution Beat Battle Spyda T.E.K. has been working on original remixes & mashups for his set and Truth Live is making a tour stop in Colorado just to rock for us.  All three guests should make me step my game up and that should make for another great Sunday of music on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio.  No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos will be cooking up food and on the drink side of things, we’ll have Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara serving three delicious flavors (strawberry, pineapple & watermelon) of agua frescas con Svedka and a whole lot more.  2701 Larimer St/ No Cover / 21+.

SUNDAY, 5/12 at 3pm -> I love you Denver, and I can’t thank you enough.  Despite an overcast afternoon and weather in the 50s making me nervous, Cinco De Goodness, the 2013 Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends kickoff party, was packed and INCREDIBLE!!!  A ton of familiar faces came through, the vibe was as perfect as we all remembered and smiles were had all the way around on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio, just like we’d been looking forward to.

Goodness returns this weekend with Sunday’s forecast calling for a more proper mid 70s and featuring two of my favorite DJs; Houston fixture Dayta (Kracker Nuttz / Good Good Fridays) and Solution co-founder DJ Sounds Supreme joining me on the turntables.  No Que No Tacos Y Mariscos will be back with an expanded menu and on the drink side of things, we’ll be featuring three flavors of our signature agua frescas con Svedka that your momma will love.  Jessica the Solution Bartender and Tara will be serving your drinks with a smile, the music will be incredible and it’s should be another borderline flawless Sunday afternoon at Goodness; hopefully we’ll see you out!  2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.

Friday, 5/10 -> The Solution x Good Good Fridays w/DJ Low Key, Lazy Eyez & special guests Dayta (Houston/Kracker Nuttz/Nana Chill) & DJ Clockwork (Cincinnati/Most Dope/Mac Miller’s DJ) at the Meadowlark…One of Houston’s best parties brings its flavor to Denver!!!

May 7, 2013 / / No comments

UPDATE:  Just got word that friend of the party, Cincinnati’s DJ Clockwork, will be in Denver this weekend, so we added the Most Dope DJ to the bill.  Besides being Mac Miller’s DJ and part of the Most Dope crew, Clockwork did time as Reflection Eternal’s DJ and is one hell of a party-rocker himself (you might have caught him rocking at our jam packed four year anniversary party a while back).  Him, plus Dayta & your Solution DJs should make for an incredible night of music, see you there!!!

FRIDAY, 5/10 -> We’re super excited to welcome one of my favorite DJs out right now, Houston’s own Dayta, to Denver as we collab with Good Good Fridays, his very dope like-minded party to The Solution. Dayta throws Good Good Fridays with another super dope DJ, Klinch, every Friday night at The Flat, one of Houston’s most highly regarded spots amongst music lovers.  Every week, they bring a ridiculous variety of what they describe as “That Good Good Music” to one of the country’s biggest cities and back in 2011, we partnered up with them for the first ever out of state Solution event (check it out here).  We’ve been wanting to bring a taste of Good Good Fridays to Denver ever since and we’re excited to finally make it happen!  Me & Lazy Eyez will be joining Dayta on the turntables as we bring some undeniably dope Houston flavor to the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St). 21+ / 9pm / No cover til 11 / $5 after. – DJ Low Key

SUNDAY, 5/5 at 3PM -> It’s here!  Goodness w/DJ Low Key & friends, my Summertime party on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio is back for the 2013 patio season!!!  Last year, Goodness got off to an unbelievable start, with a ton of great people, top notch music, refreshing, delicious tacos & assorted randomness coming together like magic every weekend.  Now we’re back for 2013 and kicking things off with an all-star DJ lineup including world renowned DJ Chris Karns, underrated Lipgloss resident DJ Largechild, Welcome To The D.O.P.E. Game’s DJ Dozen & myself.

On the food tip, El Chingon and Chef David Lopez (aka DJ Psycho), who did tacos for us last year, are opening their new location at 44th & Tennyson (go check it out!) and unfortunately they’re not going to be able to do tacos for us this season.  With that said, we’re bringing in No Que No Tacos & Mariscos to do food for the 2013 Summer season.  No Que No has an actual food truck and will be able to serve a bigger menu than we offered last year (including fried foods!), so expect a wider variety of delicious options for your patio dining pleasure.  On the drink side of things, we’ll still be featuring our signature agua frescas con Svedka with a few new surprises for 2013.  It’s gonna be an incredible Summer at Goodness, hopefully you can join us!  2701 Larimer St / No Cover / 21+.
