The deepest experience in my hours as a DJ is to play artists I know nothing about except for their music. But that music, their sounds, haunt me and tug at my soul. I wake up at 4am and my mind is singing with their voice. I now have a little piece of them with me, an audio slice they crafted oh so carefully and like a jewel hit by the same ray of light which hit it on the day of its creation, I examine in bliss every single layer that my ears can distinguish and come closer to the source, another being, delighted, proud of, enamored with a song. Dutifully, I press play and await for this feeling to shake the crowd at its core.
