"As the set closed I experienced something like an out-of-body moment. Everyone was yelling and I was overwhelmed with gratitude. I said in an internal voice “I can’t believe this is my life. How lucky am I to be in this place, with these people, sharing music and my techniques without compromise.” In moments like these I’ve never felt so alive and utterly invested in the present moment."
[Journal of the Motherbeat]

“Disco's are tricky. You look a total wally if you dance too early but after one crucial song tips the disco over, you look a sad saddo if you don't.”
