I love opening sets.
Opening sets allow the DJ to create the atmosphere for an entire night and are a true challenge (and lost artform) for those DJs, who travel from town to town every weekend playing 2 hour peak-time sets.
Opening sets allow to play tracks (and / or songs) that you usually don't hear in a club when you arrive after a certain time due to the DJs fear of losing people off the dancefloor (so what? :-D ).
For this and other reasons I dedicate this mix to those who tend to come (too) late and to those who come early at the same time and send a huge "THANK YOU!" to those who were participating LIVE in this session.
Also to those who contributed a few "WHOOHOOOs" in silent passages - one of the many nice things you only get when playing vinyl
It was a pleasure seeing the packed floor bouncing...early, did I mention that?
There is this line in the song "Hello" by The Beloved:
All you late-comers, just step on board.
I'm happy, glad you came.
So welcome home again!
Maybe next time then ;-)
