Its always a great feeling to relive that instant when your night seems to crystallise into spectacularity (it should be a word). I keep on having these moments where i'll have a random DJ set playing in the background and all of a sudden a tune will appear accompanied by a slight twig of recognition. A song only vaguely grasped at the time, lost amongst a flood of happiness. But hearing it again, unexpectedly, you find yourself grinning from ear to ear, tingles running up your spine as the totality of the moment comes flooding back. And even though you could barely place it before, upon hearing it again there's no doubt about it. This was the point when you couldn't stop laughing, dancing about with a whole lot of people you love and feeling like everything was in its right place. Its a nice feeling to hold onto.
Wow. Yesterday was amazing. One of the best events I have ever been to. And flat out one of the better days of my life. Even better because I started the day so sceptical, worried because i didn't know if anyone would be there and because I was missing so much of my usual crew. But I was pleasantly suprised. Very pleasantly. An amazing crowd that was amping, cheering and going bananas from the very first major set I saw at 3 (a spectacular set of driving breaks from Moguai) through to the cataclysmic finish to Armin van Buuren's set (the trance tent was packed, the music was loud, everyone was dancing and screaming and it was fucking hot. I was sweating like a fat man doing star jumps and then it got pointed out that a light smattering of rain had started dripping from the roof...). It was another world out there. I've never spent so much time jumping about with my hands in the air, shouting my lungs out. The sets were wall to wall quality. 2 Many Djs laid out a ripper of a party set, going from german tech to acid house (the bass pulse at the beginning of the Chem Bros' Under the Influence sounds fucking amazing through giant speaker stacks) to old school hip hop to rock (Bohemian like you, house of jealous lovers, take me out, Song 2, etc.) at a rate of knots. Complex mixing, heaps of filters, awesome acapellas and samples, they had it all. Most definitely not a disappointment. And then Armin's set. I don't even like trance. But hot damn I was going pretty special in there. It really was a borderline spiritual experience. I think it also had a bit to do with the fact that at that point our crew was together in tghe same spot for most of it. Most of the people I was with were pilling, but I was feeling good enough of my own accord to stay with them. Its always wicked to feel part of that world; Hugs and smiles and shared moments abound. Also heard some of the tunes that first got me into electronic music, which made it all the more beautiful.
Basically it was a day where i just walked/danced around feeling incessantly happy, a smile etched on my face and the feeling that nothing could be wrong in my life if I still have this to look forward to.
And today i laughed with my friends and it was cool and easy and everything feels like its ok. Much love.
