Friday, 9/7 at 8PM -> Goodness presents Michael vs Prince vs Stevie Silent Disco w/DJ Low Key, DJ Check One, Es Nine, Nofrendo & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

FRIDAY, 9/7 at 8PM -> I’m super excited to announce this, I’ve been working to make it happen all Summer and it’s finally here.  We’re celebrating three of the best artists of all-time, silent disco style, on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio, AT NIGHT!!!!!  Now’s a good time to familiarize yourself with what a silent disco is, if you’re not familiar.

Here’s the silent disco definition from wikipedia -> “Silent disco has become a common name for a disco where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via an FM-transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to nothing. Often two three DJs compete for listeners. Silent discos are popular at music festivals as they allow dancing to continue past noise curfews.”

So basically you come into the patio, get a pair of special headphones and can tune into one of three stations, with each one with a different DJ playing a different artist; one all Michael Jackson and family, one Prince and crew, one Stevie Wonder and affiliated artists.  As the party gets a little closer I’ll announce the rest of the DJ lineup and who’s repping who, but trust, your ears are in for a ridiculous, surreal night of dancing to some of the best artists ever, on the Meadowlark’s incredible patio (which normally can’t have music after 10PM because of noise ordinances, in what has to be one of the biggest shames in Denver).

We only have 100 headphone so make sure you come out early, so you don’t get stuck waiting for a pair to become available.  The party starts at 8PM, it’s 21+ and the $10 cover gets you in the door plus a special set of headphones for the night.  Last but not least, we’ll be featuring $5 Red Bull & Svedkas and $2 Red Bulls all night long.

 

Saturday, 9/22 at 7PM -> The Solution Showcase #9 w/Ro Blvd (LA) feat. Thurzday & Free Speech, Prime Element, Fast Forward, DJ Low Key & more at the Meadowlark…

Saturday, 9/22 at 7PM -> After getting things back on track with another packed Solution Showcase last month, we’re back for The Solution Showcase #9 with wunderkind producer Ro Blvd (LA), Thurzday (LA /// formerly of U-N-I) & Free Speech (The Bay /// BrekFast Club), CO hip hop icons Prime Element, elusive DJ/producer Fast Forward, DJ Low Key & more at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St).  You might remember Ro Blvd and Thurzday as 2/3 of the hosts from The Solution Tape #1 (back before U-N-I split up).  They’ll be joining Free Speech (of The BrekFast Club), as our featured out of town acts for the night.  We’ll also be featuring A.V.I.U.S., Es Nine & Cysko Rokwel aka Prime Element as our Denver artists and acclaimed producer/DJ Fast Forward as our featured producer.

Saturday, 8/25 at 9PM -> The Solution Showcase #8 w/Chicago’s BrandUn DeShay, Bianca Mikahn, Black Jordan, DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez at the Meadowlark…

 

SATURDAY, 8/25 at 9PM -> “It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you…”.  After a scheduling issue in July and breaking from our formula to honor some of Denver’s best DJs in June, The Solution Showcase is back on track with another ridiculously dope lineup.  For The Solution Showcase #8, we’re importing infamous Chicago MC and producer BrandUn DeShay, the first lady of Denver hip hop Bianca Mikahn, criminally underrated producer Black Jordan (from Team Latchkey, fka Jay Gunna), myself and #COhiphop saint, Lazy Eyez (I’m sure he’s gonna hate that title, but it fits…LOL).

YouTube Preview Image

BrandUn DeShay is a classic double threat, having released numerous critically acclaimed mixtapes as an MC/producer while also doing beats for the likes of Dom Kennedy, Curren$y, Danny Brown, Von Pea, Mac Miller, Sir Michael Rocks (of the Cool Kids) & others.  Having come up in the group Paradox, Bianca Mikahn has been rocking mics on the Denver circuit with the Mercury Sauce collective for years, making quite a name for herself in the usually male driven hip hop scene.  Black Jordan , who’ll be celebrating the release of his Basement Instinct beat tape at the party, blew us away with his music at The Solution Beat Battle earlier this year and we’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to feature his production at the showcase ever since.  You probably already know about me and Lazy Eyez if you’re reading this, but if not, we’ve both been pushing quality hip hop for years in Denver, trying to make the kind of events we’d like to go to happen, while winning an award or two in the process.

Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with someone on the bill, a big part of The Solution Showcase is about discovering dope new music and we’ll be linking up music, videos and more info on all the artists as we get closer to the party. So stay tuned to DenverSolution.com to learn more about the performers and hopefully we’ll see you on 8/25! 21+ /// $5 Pre-sales now available at all three Family Affair locations & get you 15% off your entire purchase /// $8 at the door /// Doors at 9.

SUNDAY, 8/12 from 2-9PM -> Luau Goodness w/DJ Low Key, Kid Hum & DJ Wushu + special Hawaiian-inspired El Chingon tacos & more on the Meadowlark’s patio…

 

SUNDAY, 8/12 from 2-9PM -> Last week was the busiest yet (check the pic below) and the rave reviews keep coming in about how great the vibe at Goodness is, with everyone from randoms who lucked out and found us to Denver culture blogs to die-hard music heads saying it’s their favorite party of the Summer.  This week we’re back at it a with a Hawaiian twist.  Now I’m gonna be honest, my original plan, back before we partnered with El Chingon, was to have a pig roast and luau on 8/12.  I clung on to that idea as things got more and more complicated while trying to make it happen and ultimately, I had steer away from the idea when we learned that due to health code regulations, we wouldn’t be able to roast the pig on-site.  Never one to be held down, I worked with El Chingon’s Chef David Lopez to put together some delicious Hawaiian-inspired taco specials, along with pineapple and mango agua frescas, which is probably the next best thing to a pig roast in keeping with the Hawaiiian theme (and it also doesn’t scare vegetarians quite like a roasted pig’s head…LOL).

Beyond the Hawaiian food and drinks, I’ll be joined on your afternoon’s soundtrack by two very dope cats who I’ve never really had a chance to rock with, but always wanted to; DJ Wushu (Bass Crooks) & Kid Hum (Fossil Fuel Music).  Also, in keeping with the Hawaiian theme, we’re gonna give $25 in tacos and drinks to the person with the best Hawaiian shirt on, so come dressed proper and end up full with a nice buzz on us.  The misters will be keeping us refreshed, the music will be beautiful & the vibe bordering magic on the Meadowlark’s beautiful patio (2701 Larimer St), so come join us.  21+/No Cover.
