"Whereas many residencies bring in a DJ, give them a set time, and call it a day we're offering a more hands-on approach," says Black Flamingo co-owner and creative director, Bryce David. "We'll be letting our partners put their touch on the month however they want to by bringing in guest bartenders, guest DJs, and any other creatives they would like to join forces with. There's going to be secret guests that you'll be able to catch in an intimate setting versus a super club and there's also going to be some departure from our normal disco programming, showcasing artists in other genres as well," says David. "At our core we will always follow a consistent and credible agenda musically, but we also want to use these new residencies to explore other genres and communities.
