Before Vath came on… there was another DJ who’s name escapes me. He was playing very minimal tech house that just didn’t seem to go anywhere. Every once in a while there would be a tiny teasing melodic element… but it never took off. He always came back to an incessant minimalism. Every time it seemed like it was about to get boring he pulled us back a bit. For a while we were even wondering if he was the headliner… and if so.. why was he not “giving it” to us? But then… he started to lift off.. slowly… in about the span of 4 tracks… he pulled the crowd together. Everyone started facing the stage. The volume got louder. More elements. More rhythm. The contracts was obvious. He lifted us up one track at a time until finally… finally… we felt like the energy was about to explode. The crowd roared in appreciation… like they had been soaking in the hot sun for hours and FINALLY were allowed to go into the ocean to swim. And then… the headliner came on and easily took over.

I was thinking about you the whole time.
