There are not enough all-ages events in the South Sound. Not even close. Youth events are often the first to receive the budget cuts ax - at the expense of youth enrichment and development. Crazy. If I see an important all-ages program - such as OHI Recordings' The Remex Resolution - then shout it out I will.

The Remex Resolution is a melding of hip-hop and dubstep/EDM cultures. It features a medley of 360lympia-area artists, such as Cauze N Effect, Thalo, Easy Evil, Q Parris, Namzu and Zikki, and Ill Defined. Hosted at Olympia's award-winning all-ages venue, Northern, the price tag is a comfortable $5.

Oh, and this show isn't just for the kiddies. Old fogies who enjoy quality music will dig it, too.

THE REMIX RESOLUTION, 7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 3, Northern, 414 1/2 Legion Way, Olympia, $5, olympiaallages.org
