HipHopRollCall.com shouts out The Solution, says “The flawless blend of music packs the dance floor with the eclectic mix of attendees, the DJs are consistently the cream of the damn crop, and every once in a while one of your favorite national artists will slide through with the intimate performance of a lifetime” & more…

Many thanks to HipHopRollCall.com for the awesome review of The Solution w/DJ Low Key & DJ Lazy Eyez:

Every Friday night at the Meadowlark, The Solution lives up to its tagline, “The best in hip-hop and a whole lot more.” DJ Low Key and Lazy Eyez have crafted an event that lives comfortably inside the realm of quality hip-hop, and still manages to always incorporate artists and records that are mere relatives of the genre. The flawless blend of music packs the dance floor with the eclectic mix of attendees, the DJs are consistently the cream of the damn crop, and every once in a while one of your favorite national artists will slide through with the intimate performance of a lifetime. If you’re sleeping on this one, it’s time to wake the hell up.

Wednesday, 4/24 -> The Solution Showcase #14 w/Blu, TiRon & Ayomari, Fly4Wird, Spyda T.E.K., DJ Low Key, Sounds Supreme, DJ Dozen & live art by Joseph Martinez at Beauty Bar Denver…The Solution Showcase has a new monthly home, but you can still catch The Solution every Friday night at the Meadowlark!

WEDNESDAY, 4/24 -> With The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez back to weekly status every Friday night and winning awards for it, we realized that Fridays should stay focused on the straight up party vibe at the Meadowlark and decided to move The Solution Showcase and it’s concert/party/beat showcase/etc mixed vibe over to Beauty Bar Denver (608 E. 13th St) so we could have more flexibility and a bigger stage to play with.

And with the move to a bigger stage and bigger venue for The Solution Showcase #14, it’s only right that we kick things off with a double feature of out of town talent to commemorate things; so we decided to bring out Solution favorite and modern day rap great Blu (who actually rocked at the party a few months after we launched back in 2007, right as Below The Heavens was dropping) and exceptional LA duo TiRon & Ayomari, who packed the house at The Solution Showcase #1 and have steadily been releasing great music since.  This month’s featured Denver act is recently formed CO supergroup Fly4Wird (aka Babah Fly, DJ Fast 4Ward & Mike Wird) and our featured producer is 2013 Solution Beat Battle winner Spyda T.E.K., who blew a lot of Denver heads away en route to winning the 2013 title.  Solution co- founder DJ Low Key & Welcome to the D.O.P.E. Game’s DJ Dozen will be holding down the turntables for the night and our friends at Red Bull are hooking up the first 50 people through the door with complimentary new Red Bull Editions.  $8 pre-sales at the weekly Solution via DJ Low Key or Lazy Eyez or at any Family Affair / $10 at the door / 21+.

.:Order pre-sale tickets to The Solution Showcase #14 online for $8:.

UPDATE: We’re excited to be adding Solution co-founder Sounds Supreme and acclaimed visual artist Joseph Martinez to the lineup for the night.  Sounds will be rocking early in the night to help kick things off and Joseph will be painting what we can only imagine to be a masterpiece live at the show, plus he’ll have some great prints available too.  Head over to JosephMrtnz.com for more info on one of our favorite artists in town and make sure you come out early to see the whole process unfold.

SUNDAY, 2/24 at 7pm -> It’s Dilla month and you already we’d be bringing something full Jay Dee beats to Denver for a 7th consecutive year (check out our first ever J Dilla party here).  This year we’re teaming up with renowned Dilla expert DJ Check One/Dameion Hines, Sound College & Unit E Gallery to celebrate the life, music and legacy of the late great James Yancey.  Unit E is an art gallery space in the Sante Fe Arts District (1201 Sante Fe Dr) and because it’s an art gallery and not a bar/nightclub, we need to make sure everyone coming out RSVPs to either RSVP <at> DenverSolution <dot> com or on the party’s facebook event page by 7pm the night of the event.  Per tradition, we’ll have donuts and Sound College tees in the house and as always, an all-star lineup of talent, check it:

Video tribute by DJ Check One

DJ sets by DJ Low Key, Deejay SD & DJ Chonz

Beat tribute by Big J. Beats

All vinyl Donuts sample set by Brik-A-Brak

Live bass and drums by Casey Sidwell & Dameion Hines

Once again, MAKE SURE YOU RSVP IF YOU’RE PLANNING TO ATTEND. You can RSVP for your friends as well but we need everyone’s name attending, sending your name +1 is not an option (if your name’s not on the list, you won’t get in, that’s the venue’s policy).  Everyone is invited though, you can send as many names as you want as long as you submit them on time, and we’re looking forward to seeing Denver show out for a night of incredible music as we celebrate on of the musical geniuses of our time.  21+/7PM/$5 at the door with RSVP.
