➲ BUSINESS CASUAL DISCO ➲ 

From a primordial mixture of slick grooves and funky beats came the DJ collective known as Business Casual Disco. The trio shares a love of all things disco with a generous serving of house and deep. Driven by swirling synths and heart palpitating bass lines, each set is served with a unique touch that will get you bobbing your head then stomping your feet.

Each member brings their own taste to the collective sound and rest assured BCD is always business but couldn’t keep things more casual. Think of it as the more tasteful side of music, like Playboy for your ears.

➲ OMLING ➲ 

Evan Lentz a.k.a. Omling has become the roots for what we will soon know as the tree of life in modern electronic music culture. Perfectly planned sets tease the audience, melding into organic psybient dance, emphasizing atmosphere and engulfing the listener in beautiful thought provoking frequencies. Fakelife DJ and family too many, he specializes and themes his works to individuals, circumstance, and spirituality; every time telling an emotion conjuring story. His dark progressive stylings bring the user down evoking mystery and fear, before catapulting them back through the earth into heavenly moments of sonic love-awareness. For these moments Evan has become a symbol of progression and evolution, impacting his audience, leaving them vibrating with love. The story teller behind the tables radiates love and divinity while maintaining a hard driving depth that you can feel behind closed eyelids, a balance and art that requires time and proper analysis of all aspects of the experience. A product of Therapy in Providence, R.I. and a key component of what is a symbiosis between the evolution of the electronic music scene and the appreciation of life alongside those you share life with, Fakelife. During this mind bending journey through sound, three words are to be remembered “We Are One”.
