Thursday, 9/2 at 8PM -> We’re linking up with renowned Colorado producers Boonie Mayfield aka Boon Doc and Xperiment, as well as one of our good friend DJ Dozen, for a special fundraiser called Boonie’s Solution at the Rex Lounge (2936 Fox Street, by Coors Field & the Metro Apartments). One of favorite local producers, Boonie Mayfield, had his robbed back in May and we’re trying to pitch in on his studio rebuilding efforts.

The party starts at 8 with a producer showcase featuring Boonie, Xperiment, Stro, DJ Vajra, Kid Hum, DJ Psycho, Dealz, DJ Matt Cassidy and several other premier local producers (to be announced here and on our twitter), followed by both of us and DJ Dozen (youngest in charge!!!) rocking the best in hip hop as the event switches into party mode. We’re also celebrating ridiculous beat prodigy Xperiment’s recent signing to Humble Beast (the label’s roster included some dope artists such as Othello, Braille and Theory Hazit) and his upcoming move to Portland; consider it his going away party. Last but not least, we’ll be celebrating our homie DJ Dozen’s birthday and well-deserved Solution debut. Entry is a minimum $5 donation with 100% of the proceeds being donated to Boonie to help rebuild his studio. Also, online donations can be made here.  $3 Margaritas /// $2 Canned Beers /// $7 pitchers all night /// 21+.

The Solution is going on summer break!!! The best club night in Denver (c) Westword will be back on 6/25 in a new location, join our e-mail list at right for more details…

After over three years, the Solution and CO Clubs (Bar Standard, Funky Buddha, etc) have parted ways.  We had a blast in our time working with CO Clubs but over the last few months it became apparent that it was time for us to split.  With that said, the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme is far from over.  We’re gonna take the next two weeks off and return on Friday, 6/25 for the fourth annual DJ Low Key/Charley Cox/Lessondary birthday extravaganza (please leave your e-mail to the right for updates on the party & location).  We apologize for the short notice, but trust, the stuff we have planned for the rest of the summer will make up for any inconvenience.

Say it ain’t so Kam…Kam Moye aka Supastition is done? I hope not…

Me and the homie DJ Forge have been talking about him and criminally underrated rapper Kam Moye coming out to rock at the Solution for while now (Forge is Kam’s tour DJ).  The other day, I mentioned the idea to Forge on AIM and he said that might be hard to make happen and sent me a link to this sad post from Supastition.com, check it out… › Continue reading

Friday, 4/23 -> Guru Tribute at the Solution, hosted by Ro Blvd + Sounds Supreme’s return + Boon Doc’s birthday party…

FRIDAY, 4/23 -> As I’m sure you already know, hip hop lost a legend when Guru of Gang Starr succumbed to complications from multiple myeloma earlier this week. Guru’s music has been a huge influence on both of us as DJs and when we heard the news, we knew that we need to push back our initial plans for this Friday (Chicken & Waffles will be next Friday, 3/30) at the Solution and dedicate the night to Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal.  You know the man, you know the music, please join us as we celebrate the life and music of Keith Elam.

Plus, Sounds Supreme is finally back from 5 weeks of DJing on a cruise ship and now we have a “Best Club Night in Denver” award to celebrate. As if that wasn’t enough, ridiculously talented producer Ro Blvd (of A Love Supreme and The Solution Tape #1 fame) will be out from LA to host the event and we’re celebrating the birthday of the reigning Denver Big Tune champion Boon Doc as well (speaking of Ro Blvd & Boon Doc, they’ll both be featured in a Big Tune production workshop on 4/25. If you’re a producer, hit up questions[at]djlowkey.com for more info). 21+ / Doors at 9 / Free until 11, only $5 after.
