The Solution Boulder
‘Round Midnight is being sold & because of that, The Solution Boulder is going on hiatus /// Win free Theophilus London at the Fox tickets, courtesy of DJ Low Key & The Solution…
Pretty simple situation. Two days ago, I got word that ‘Round Midnight, the home of The Solution Boulder, was in the process of being sold to new ownership and because of that they were going to be closed indefinitely. I was always a fan of Chuck, Pinks, Aaron & the rest of the ‘Round midnight crew and hate to see them end their run in Boulder, but I also know sometimes you gotta sell, especially when you’re sitting on prime real estate like they are on Pearl St. I don’t know if/when they’ll be reopening or if we’ll continue throwing The Solution Boulder there or anywhere else in Boulder at the moment.
Right now, my focus is on the monthly Solution Showcase and the smash hit of the Summer, Goodness (going til October), down in Denver, as well as a variety of other projects (some of which will be taking place in Boulder), so I’m going to take a break in regards to The Solution Boulder. So don’t worry hip hop heads, me, DJ Dozen, B-Money, Sounds Supreme & crew will continue to bring CO all the best in hip hop & more on a regular basis, so stay tuned to djlowkey.com, denversolution.com & my twitter page for more upcoming events.
P.S. We didn’t feel in was right to say goodbye without a parting gift Boulder. I have a pair of free tickets to tonight’s Theophilus London show at the Fox Theatre for the first three people to send me an e-mail titled “Theo On Thursday” at Contests <at> djlowkey {dot} com. Winners will be announced/contacts by 7pm. Good luck! – DJ Low Key

What is #TheSolution5?
February 2012 marks 5 years of The Solution and before anything else can be mentioned, we have to thank everyone in Denver and beyond who’s come out to the party. Whether it was in our earliest days at the Shelter/Milk Bar or at our longest running home, The Funky Buddha, or maybe you just learned about us via The Solution Showcase at the Meadowlark over the last month or two, it doesn’t matter; we wouldn’t be able to do anything cool without your love and support. With that said, a lot has changed since we started the party and we want to make sure everyone knows about what we’re up to going forward.
As you might have noticed, the party has grown beyond just a club night. Last year, we embarked on a statewide tour with Tanya Morgan, TiRon, Whygee, King F.O.E. & Boonie Mayfield, threw our first BBQ (with our good friends Family Affair) and started a monthly spinoff based around showcasing new talent, called The Solution Showcase, at the Meadowlark. This year we’ve already launched The Solution Boulder at ‘Round Midnight, we’re about to take the party outside of our great state for some collabs with like-minded parties in other cities and this month, we’re going to celebrate our 5 years with 5 events that we call The Solution 5 aka #TheSolution5.
With that in mind, what hasn’t changed about The Solution is that we’re still dedicated to making sure every event we throw is something we’d wanna go to, something fun and, hopefully, something a little more unique than your average party. With that in mind, let us tell you about what we’ve got in store for #TheSolution5.
Wednesday, February 22nd we’re teaming up with world renowned Red Bull Music Academy for what’s shaping up to be a one of a kind celebration of the man who was quite possibly the greatest hip hop producer ever, J Dilla. We’re throwing the party at Beta Nightclub (1909 Blake St) and it’s an unprecedented event to hear Dilla’s music on one of the best sound systems in the world. As if that wasn’t enough, we’re bringing out the legendary DJ Spinna (New York) and frequent Dilla collaborators and Detroit icons Waajeed & Phat Kat out to celebrate with us. Phat Kat will be rocking with Dameion Hines and Q-Knox of Big Wheel, who’ll also be performing a tribute to Jay Dee of their own. The Solution DJs aka DJ Low Key, Sounds Supreme and Lazy Eyez will be on the turntables to kick things off and with Dilla’s catalogue, you’re gonna miss some incredible music if you show up late.
Thursday, February 23rd is The Solution Showcase #3 at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St) and the lineup is ridiculous. We’ve got Trackademicks (of A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Records) and DJ Tap 10 coming out from the Bay, bringing a trademark slap that’s one of our favorite sounds out. Black Actors (Quiz fka Sunkenstate and .anansi) is our Denver feature and the one and only Kid Hum will be making his live production debut, plus DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez will get the party started.
Saturday, February 25th is the opening of The Art Of Records at Family Affair downtown (2048 Larimer St) from 6-9pm. It’s an art show based around classic hip hop album artwork being interpreted by top Colorado-based artists including the likes of Dunn The Signtologist, Path One, Thomas Evans, Tristan Minton & more, curated by Dunn himself and DJ Low Key. We’ll be displaying the actual 12″ album covers next to the artwork and DJ Low Key will be spinning the records on display throughout the evening to bring things full circle.
Sunday, February 26th we’re excited to present The Solution Beat Battle at La Rumba (99 W. 9th Ave). A dozen of Denver’s top producers will face off head to head to see who has the best beats in town. Producer extraordinaire Boonie Mayfield will be rocking a live beat showcase, “legends in the making” (according to Ali Shaheed Muhammed of A Tribe Called Quest) and new school vets Tanya Morgan will be performing and we still have more on the bill to be announced shortly. If you’re a producer or beatmaker looking to enter, check out this post for more info.
Every Thursday night in Boulder, don’t miss our fifth event of the #TheSolution5, The Solution Boulder, at ‘Round Midnight (1005 Pearl St). Â In the coming weeks, we’ll be throwing our infamous chicken & waffles party up there, featuring a performance from Tanya Morgan, hosting a women’s shoe and fashion show with Installation (an easy contender for best shoe store in the whole state) and a whole lot more.
So thanks again for everything Colorado, you’re the best. Here’s to the next 5 years and beyond.
