If you are a regular reader and follower of DPC, you know that we are huge fans of Business Casual Disco. We've featured them on the blog before, watched them do their thing in DC at The Black Cat, and even took a nice stroll to the Lincoln Memorial with them. Basically, what I'm trying to say... is that we are totally best friends.
This past week, Business Casual Disco dropped their fourth mix, "First Class Essentials", and I cannot tell you enough how appropriate the title is. You know how they tell you not to judge a book by its cover? Because it’s rude or something? Well, I think it's safe to say that you can and should judge this "book" by its cover.
Awesome mix title? Yes.
Airplane shot with suspiciously-looking whiskey drink in hand? Yes.
Intriguing track list? Yes.
This mix is most definitely essential. Meaning that it is absolutely necessary in your life.
I could liken it to slap bracelets, the genius combination of peanut butter + chocolate, or Adidas Superstars again, but I think that this mix is essential (see what I did there?)... Like the power move you make at 3am by drinking a glass of water before going to bed to soften your impending hangover. Or deciding to press that snooze button one more time in the morning before work - even if it means that you're haphazardly throwing on the first thing that looks like it matches in your closet. Or ordering one two beers and a shot, (let's be real) before last call cause you know that it's... well, last call.
You know what is always a good idea? Salted Caramel Cheesecake Pie with a Gingersnap Crust. It's a party in your mouth, and trust me. You WANT to be invited.
Beautiful sunsets with friends are also a good idea.
And so are alcoholic beverages. Specifically ones that taste like you ate a fireball (holy yum) or ones that taste like you are eating cookie dough, but also getting you drunk. #winning
Needless to say, this past Thanksgiving holiday was wonderful; starting and ending with dance parties, with more dance parties in between, and a Virginia Tech win to cap it all off (H O K I E S!) If you don't follow our Facebook page, you might want to get on that gravy train because we post a lot of content that isn't posted on the blog. Including funny pictures of censored turkeys, signs that I don't understand, and funny searches that lead strangers to our blog.
And now you're sitting there wondering, "Why is Becca bringing up DPC's Facebook page?" First, because we obviously want more friends. But also because friends of DPC recently posted a mix on it, and I am currently obsessed. Therefore, YOU should be too. Duh.
Business Casual Disco is comprised of three gentlemen; Coltrane, Norrin and Skeeba who together, create smooth, Balearic disco beats that keep people's heads nodding and bodies moving. Based out of Connecticut, the trio dropped their debut mix for listeners on Sunday night to get a taste of what BCD is all about.
This is another good idea (like cheesecake, sunsets, and cookie alcohol) because this mix is the bomb.com. It's the slap bracelet you wore when you were in elementary school. It's the Adidas Superstars you wore in middle school. It's the Smirnoff Ice you drank in high school (someone tell me I wasn't the only one). It's the peanut butter goodness in the center of a Reese's. It's the James Murphy to disco. So. Freaking. Fly.
Basically - you need this in your life. Now.
A quick look at the track list was the first indicator that this would be a smooth disco dance party, but after listening to it three times in less than 12 hours, I can tell everyone that the transitions are solid, and smooth doesn't even begin to describe the feel of this mix. I love knowing that there are three different people contributing to the mix, but all of them adding their own touch to the mix without straying too far away from one another to realize what was going on (does that make sense?!) It was love at first listen with this "Back Hand Disco Love" mix (see genre in Soundcloud), and it left me wanting more (!!!)
So yea....Your first order of business is to give this mix a listen. Second order of business: find me a slap bracelet. Third: If you're in the Connecticut area, head to The Space in Hamden, CT on December 10th.
