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.

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.

I’m a little late in posting this, but both of us were recently nominated for “Best Hip Hop DJ” in the 2010 Westword Music Showcase.   It’s not the first time for either of us but it’s always an honor in itself to be nominated.  With that said, vote Sounds Supreme, vote Low Key, vote for your other favorite DJ instead of us, but please just take a quick 2 minutes and vote for your favorite Denver acts over at Westword.com .  Shouts to the nominating committee and all of our supporters, here’s a little more info on the committee who nominated us (alongside Chonz, Cysko Rokwel, Vajra & K Tone) in Westword’s words:

We took greater care than ever before to ensure that we received input from an every facet of the scene. To that end, we reached out to bloggers, critics, radio programmers and personalities, promoters, club owners, booking agents, past nominees and even readers/fans, enlisting all of them to serve on this year’s nominating committee panel.

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.
