Ahhh, February. You noticed right, that is the sound of fresh, new battle-ready beats you’ve been hearing out of basements and studios around the city as producers, beatmakers and instrumentalists get ready for The 2014 Solution Beat Battle at Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St)!!! Last year’s battle was a blast, with DJ Spyda T.E.K. edging out Cliff Cage and ten other ridiculously talented producers (recap here via HipHopRollCall.com) to take the 2013 title. This year a dozen producers will be battling for the crown, plus a ridiculous prize package featuring:
-$250 in Akomplice gear
-A $100 Zengo gift card
-$100 in gear from Family Affair
-An interview with internationally acclaimed site, PotholesInMyBlog.com
-A photo shoot with official Solution photographer Knower Of The Ledge
-A paid guest feature at an upcoming Solution Showcase & more TBA
The competition is always thick and the camaraderie is always off the charts, so head down early and catch Denver beat-making community shining on one of our favorite nights of the year. The main focus is on Denver’s scene and the battle, but we’re also excited to welcome some other ridiculous talent down for the night.
 
Chicago’s own Brandun Deshay, who’s produced songs for everyone from Danny Brown to Chance The Rapper to Casey Veggies, on top of ripping mics on his own, will be back in Denver after performing at The Solution Showcase last year to rave reviews. He’ll be joined by brilliant one man band and musical genius Fast Forw4rd, 2013 Beat Battle winner DJ Spyda T.E.K. & Denver mainstay Big J. Beats in showcasing music for the crowd, while Solution residents DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez hold down the turntables and hosting duties for the night.
$10 cover gets you into the battle & the afternoon’s Beat Workshop (details below). 21+ / More info on the battle & The Solution on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram.

Wednesday, 1/22 -> POURTY w/DJ Low Key & The Color Dark, special guests Turner Jackson & Trev Rich plus more at Beauty Bar Denver! One of your last chances to catch Yonnas Abraham before BLKHRTS move to LA!!!
WEDNESDAY, 1/22 -> Time for second edition of POURTY (pronounced like party but extra hype, like it has “!!!†at the end) with the one and only Yonnas Abraham of BLKHRTS fame aka The Color Dark. We debuted the party on Thanksgiving Eve to great results and we’re excited to build on them with two of Denver’s top MCs, Turner Jackson (Black Electric Love out now) & Trev Rich (Heights 3 out now), making special guest appearances. Just like last time, we’re not stopping the party for the performances, at POURTY we’re only having cats rock straight up JAMS within the party, on some classic era MC & DJ hip hop shit and based on the first POURTY, it’s a great way to do things. Last but not least, a reminder: POURTY isn’t just a hip hop party by any means, catch us rocking everything exceptional in music, from The Cure to Cashmere Cat, Kendrick Lamar to Prince, Sizzla to Thundercat (you get the picture, right?). Expect intense fun at Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St), starting at 9pm. Swing through after the Justin Timberlake show and balance out your suit & tie-worthy evening…LOL. / 21+ / No cover until 10pm, only $5 after.
P.S. In case you didn’t get the news, The Color Dark is Yonnas Abraham of BLKHRTS/Pirate Signal fame and with the group moving to LA next month, this is one of your last chances to catch a Denver great before he leaves town!!!

That’s why the music therapy program at DCH is so vital. The music program depends upon charitable contributions to operate and that’s where YOU come in!
Just a few dollars from everyone in the So What! family will make a huge difference in the lives of some kids who deserve it. We need your help! Please make your tax free donation now, Let’s be the difference in the music program at Denver Children’s Home.

Then at 10pm, things continue on at Beauty Bar with our annual Soulstice Holiday Party, a longtime So What! tradition that’s always a fun way to close out the year. After 10pm, a five dollar cover kicks in; so come out early, catch the performance early and put that $5 towards a donation to Denver Children’s Home or good drink to get the night started.
 P.S. In case you can’t make the party, live out of town or don’t have extra cash this month, it’s all good, please help spread the word and know that our efforts to help Denver Children’s Home are going all the way through Saturday, 12/21 online (and really longer than that, but we’re trying to raise at least $3,000, and hopefully a lot more, for them by our annual So What! Christmas party that night), so please feel free to donate whenever you can.

Wednesday, 11/27 -> POURTY w/DJ Low Key & The Color Dark, special guests BLKHRTS, CRL CRRLL and Plat Maravich & more at Beauty Bar Denver on Thanksgiving Eve!!!
WEDNESDAY, 11/27 -> Excited to launch a new party concept called POURTY (pronounced like party but extra hype, like it has “!!!” at the end) with the one and only Yonnas Abraham of tfBLKHRTS fame aka The Color Dark. We’ll be kicking things off on Thanksgiving Eve, the sleeper club holiday where everyone goes out because no one has anything important to do the next day, except eat, drink & watch football. BLKHRTS, CRL CRLL & Plat Maravich will also be at Beauty Bar, rocking live performances within the party. We’re not stopping the party for the performances though, at POURTY we’re only having cats rock straight up JAMS within the party, on some classic era MC & DJ hip hop shit. With that said, POURTY isn’t just a hip hop party by any means, catch us rocking everything exceptional in music, from The Cure to Cashmere Cat, Kendrick Lamar to Prince, Sizzla to Thundercat (you get the picture, right?). Expect intense fun at Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St), starting at 9pm / 21+ / No cover until 10pm, only $5 after.

Saturday, 11/9 -> The legendary DJ Chris Karns, special guests DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme, 4 turntables, free PBRs from 9-10pm & more at Beauty Bar Denver!!!
SATURDAY, 11/9 -> Honored that one of the best DJs in history (no exaggeration), DJ Chris Karns, has invited me and another of my favorites, DJ Sounds Supreme, to rock with him at his new monthly at Beauty Bar Denver. If you’re not familiar with DJ Chris Karns (fka DJ Vajra), this party will be an excellent time to see why the unquestionable “DJ’s DJ” has won the DMC World Championship, as well as finished top three in both the Red Bull Thre3 Style US Finals and on VH1’s Master Of The Mix TV show (most DJs I know believe he got robbed in the final round but that’s another story…LOL), all while inspiring hundreds of thousands of DJs around the planet. All this might sound like hyperbole, but after watching Chris teach DJ legends like DJ Q-Bert & DJ Craze techniques he created and burn down clubs with Michael Jordan-like determination to be the best, I’m convinced he’s truly one of the greatest DJs of all-time.
And fuck it, even if I’m wrong or you don’t agree, you’re still catching, me, Chris and Sounds Supreme, with an hour of free PBRs from 9-10pm to get the night going, for the low low price of only $7. Rock with us Denver, you’ll be glad you did. Beauty Bar (608 E. 13th St) / 9pm / 21+.
Wednesday, 10/23 -> DJ Low Key & B-Money at Beauty Bar Denver…Everything from funk to house to hip hop & lots more!!!
WEDNESDAY, 10/23 -> Join me and B-Money for some midweek fun as we run through a little bit of everything dope at Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St). No crazy concept and no cover charge, just two veteran DJs going back and forth, playing dope music at a cool spot. That is what it’s all about though, right? See you at 9pm!
Saturday, 8/17 -> Michael Jackson vs Prince at So What! w/DJ K-Nee, Big Styles & DJ Low Key at Beauty Bar Denver…”The Kid” vs “The King Of Pop” all night long!!!
One Night Only!!!
