This is the 1st part of a 2 part mix.  A pretty slow burner with this one here, but stick around...it could be worth it. 

Part 2 coming soon. 

Happy July and thanks for listening :)

w/you

Here is part 2, following 'w/you'.  This one is a bit more gritty, higher energy, and touches on more peak time sounds.  

Take note that not every mix is in key, and not every mix has to be.  It is possible to put tracks with similar 'sounds' and feel, side by side in the mix without them being keyed.  You just have to know your music library - what would work and what won't.  This can also create an interesting shift of energy and vibe on the dancefloor, if done right.  Try it at your next gig.

It's an amazing feeling when you get in the zone..everything flowing gracefully and naturally.  You become one with the music, the equipment, the crowd - feeding off of it feeding off of you...and vice versa.  It's in these moments I notice myself taking the most risks when selecting tracks because the frequency everything is operating on in that moment - everything just works.

Happy Friday.  It's a beautiful day.

Enjoy!

w/me

An all vinyl mix that shifts and segues, spanning an array of underground 4 to the floor.  

Midway through this one - the style, feel, structure and selection was reminiscent of the old GU days, for me.  Maybe I subconsciously gravitated towards this sound..my roots, as this whole DJ thing came full circle.  And I made sure to close it out with the tune that started it all for me in '98, from Oliver Lieb under his 'Paragliders' alias. 

One last mix, from and for NYC.

Thank you to everyone who was part of the journey.

P.S. How will you ever know if something is right for you if you don’t allow yourself to be fully open to receiving all it has to offer?

To: Anywhere

Little did we know, 2 years ago this week would be our last normal, or what we thought was 'normal', week of life.

I picked out a few of my toughest records and dedicated this mix to the insanity of the last 2 years of this movie we are living in.

Some balls to the wall techno.

gunpoint medicine

This one could dwell in the complete opposite end of the spectrum from my last mix (Gunpoint Medicine).

The objective here was to gather some of the more ‘dreamy’’ cuts in my collection - tracks that made me think of relaxation and feeling carefree, floating…maybe with a cocktail in one hand, chillin on a hammock while staring/listening to the ocean waves crashing against the rocks as the sun goes down.  Knowing that breeze will return.  I wanted to picture myself as far away as possible from the complete and utter toxicity of this matrix we are all unfortunately plugged into.

if your imagination allows it and you are looking to drift away from the chaos to your dream sanctuary, this mix is for you.

Above the Fray

DnB has been really filling my cup lately.  Before a few months ago, It was a genre that never grabbed me.  Things changed and I’ve been slowly collecting what, to me, are the best tracks - just as I always try to do, no matter what I decide to play.  I did my homework and, as with any genre, you gotta sift through all the BS to get to the good stuff.  A little over two decades of spinning and it's my first ever Drum & Bass mix.

This shit lit a firecracker in my ass - giving me intermittent flashbacks of how good it felt when I first got into underground dance music.  Ironically, as upbeat and fast as it can be, it engulfs me with a sense of tranquility...It's been so refreshing both chillin and rockin out to these cuts.  I can only imagine what the UK rave scene was like back in the 90s.  I may have missed out on a pivotal moment in the scene and art at the time, but I am glad I feel the way I do about it at this time.

That being said, I dedicated this mix to tearing down those mental 'fences' that need it, having the strength to walk away from anything that holds us back, and to the inevitability of change as part of our human experience.  

Enjoy :)

The only constant Is..

Throughout the process of organizing the vinyl collection this last year, I purposely dug out and set aside specific records which embody that ritualistic and tribal bedrock in order to best transfer and recreate the vision that’s been in my mind, into yours.  The stomping, the chanting..the ritualistic dancing - I couldn’t escape the beat of the tribal drum.

I wanted to glue a pure ritual, calling, creed?, chant..a tribal style mix together - 'Souls Primitive' is a mix dedicated to the scarred and battle-wounded primitive souls being called upon in this timeline who have been here before, aware of the experience and outcome, and also, the current state of affairs as this old world undergoes a global detox - an oozing out and purging of evil which has been running rampant in the shadows, behind the curtain, for many years.  

Now the veil has been lifted and the serpents exposed.

A new earth is rising right as our great war is being fought on this spiritual battlefield.

The old system is crashing.  Many will fall with it. 

Sink or swim?  Good or Evil?  Serpent or Serpent Slayer?

Spoiler alert - The serpents fall with the old world.

Get your dancing shoes(?) on.  It’s time for a cave rave.

Awake In The Dream

Had I continued ‘The Turning Point’, last month would have been 10 years since it first aired..and I more than likely would have put together an event for it back home. Because of this, I felt it was a good time to share a special mix that I not only compiled for TTP but I also wanted to dedicate this mix to the legendary NYC nightclub, TWILO - the club that changed my life forever in a single night.

There might be a handful of people reading this who know of or have been to Twilo, or any of the great megaclubs in NYC during that era.   It was the time of my life and a great moment in NYC clubbing history.  I was lucky enough to go on the nights where DJs like Jimmy van M and the NYC based DJ Sean Cusick (mix includes tracks from both of them) were playing and opening the night up for Sasha & Digweed, before I even had a clue what this music and culture was about and which DJs were who.

After going to teen nights for a few years in my Brooklyn home town, Twilo was like graduation - a step into a different realm and caliber of clubbing…a more refined, matured, underground sound and music being showcased by artists and DJs who knew it on a completely different level than anything I ever experienced at the time.

Although the mix contains some music that was released after the closing of the club back in 2001, I selected both era correct tracks and also, tunes that encompassed the Twilo ‘sound’, in order to best convey the vibe, atmosphere, environment and feeling of the club from my experiences on those nights.  Twilo was dark, it was brooding, it was chuggy, groovy..it was bass driven.  It was deep, it was house, it was trance, it was tribal, it was techno.  It was the best club I have ever been to.  (Stereo in Montreal comes next).  It was a place I went to escape the world.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures from when I went as it was a time where people lived more authentically and in the moment, before social media and smartphones, so I used a google image of the club.  

In closing, Twilo laid the groundwork for the type of DJ I aspired to be and ultimately became, and it also set the bar for the types of events I wanted to put together - vibe, atmosphere, sound-wise etc.  With that being said, here is a mix for the unofficial 10 years of TTP and the late, great TWILO on West 27th in NYC.

TWILO - A Moment In NYC Clubbing History

www.DI.FM 8 29 14

It's already been 12 months, 12 hours, 12 episodes, 1 year, however you want to say it, since 'The Turning Point' first aired, last year in September. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been listening and supporting!

I have something special for you all to assist in celebrating this 1 year triumph. On board for the 12th Hour and the 1 Year Anniversary of The Turning Point, will be a special exclusive live set from one of my favorite artists/DJs for a few years now - Cid Inc! Cid was nice enough to send me his live mix from Summer Music Festival in Lithuania, and if you weren't there for his performance during the festival, then you will be hearing it for the first time on The Turning Point: Hour 12 :)


In addition to Cid's exclusive live set during the second hour, I will be opening the show up for the first hour, doing something a little different from the usual build and progression, for the 1 year celebration. I will be taking 'The Turning Point Pick Of The Month' from every single episode/hour from the past year, and compiling all of them in a 1 hour mix, including this month's TTP pick. Get ready for an hour of straight fire from start to finish ;)


"Focused on the building elements of a continuous DJ mix, in which peak levels of energy are reached after a specific point in time during the progression."

THE FOCUS:

The Turning Point' radio show has a main focus. In short, it emphasizes a point in time in the programming of the DJ mix which implicates a turnaround in the feeling and vibe of the entire set, where the DJ transitions the mix on to a higher level of energy. If any of you have ever listened to my sets or have seen me spin live, you have an idea of what I speak of, as a lot of my mixes are built for the club environment. The build and progression of the set has a direct impact on how the Turning Point of the mix creates this crossover.

As in my recent mix series 'Same Difference' (Aug 2011-Aug 2013), some other main focus points of this show are to keep the artform of DJing alive and well, and to use and expose underground talent from across the planet to assist in building up to the turning point, keeping us steadily in it.


THE FEELING:

"It's something that the senses of the mind and body react to first…something that you mostly feel, rather than hear. It has the power to bring out an indescribable satisfaction. You look around the room and notice that just about everyone feels it regardless of whether they have realized what's happening or not. You feel it, they feel it, he and she feels it… You can see it in their eyes. It's the one moment of the night when you know the tease is over, and the DJ is about to go all in. This is something I like to call 'The Turning Point', and we have reached it.."

'The Turning Point' (Hour 12) 1 Year Anniversary w/ Special Guest - Cid Inc

Bout 4 years ago I quietly posted a mix called ‘burn the manual’.  The intention was to make a mix filled with a variety of genres/sounds…a ‘grab a record and just mix’ kind of deal, from the bins that contained music I wasn’t mainly pushing in the clubs at the time.  It turned out to be some higher energy ravey, warehouse vibes - a mix that went against the grain - against the grain of my position as a DJ in the local scene at the time.  I think a part of it was me subconsciously getting a feeling of being imprisoned and ‘boxed in’ a certain style so I compiled something ‘different’ than expected.  Fast forward to today and I couldn’t be happier to play whatever I want, whenever I want. 

With that being said, I made a part 2!

Here’s ‘burn the manual #2’, a mix for all the ‘fuck the system’ peeps.
This one is very rave style - expect anything.

and one more thing - Resist. the Fucking. Evil.

24 Hours...1 full day of Turning Point episodes. Never thought the show would last this long but it keeps on going. Thanks to everyone who has ever listened and supported the show over the past 2 years. Those that know how passionate I am about DJing know that I put a lot of work into this. A special 2-Hour broadcast, and I have put together an ALL VINYL mix compiled of all the 'Off The Record' picks from every episode over the past year. Can't forget our special guest for the 2nd half of the broadcast - a huge new star to the decks, from Sudbeat, Lost & Found, and microCastle - the mighty Pedro Aguiar! Pedro will be providing a special 1 hour studio mix dedicated for The Turning Point 2 Year Anniversary broadcast. Very excited ;)

After all these years, this was my first ever headlining set in NYC.  My live set taken directly from the source at the303 @ Louie and Chans, in full.  A night dedicated to art-form of DJing and The Turning Point radio show. 

Couldn't have asked for a better night and experience.  Had few bumps leading up to the night but everything worked out perfectly.  Thanks to all who came out and danced their asses off from start to finish.

Live @the303  'Year 2'   TTP 2 Year Anniversary Party 9 4 15

www.DI.FM 9 25 15

Hour 25 starts off Year 3 of The Turning Point. 

Thanks to everyone who contributed to making Year 2 successful. The 2 Year Anniversary Party was absolutely amazing :) Already looking forward to what Year 3 has in store. Stay tuned...

'The Turning Point' radio show has a main focus. In short, it emphasizes a point in time in the programming of the DJ mix which implicates a turnaround in the feeling and vibe of the entire set, where the DJ transitions the mix on to a higher level of energy. If any of you have ever listened to my sets or have seen me spin live, you have an idea of what I speak of, as a lot of my mixes are built for the club environment. The build and progression of the set has a direct impact on how the Turning Point of the mix creates this crossover.
Some other main focus points of this show are to keep the artform of DJing alive and well, and to support, expose and promote underground talent from across the planet to assist in building up to the turning point, and also, keeping us steadily in it.

The Feeling:

"It's something that the senses of the mind and body react to first…something that you mostly feel, rather than hear. It has the power to bring out an indescribable satisfaction. You look around the room and notice that just about everyone feels it regardless of whether they have realized what's happening or not. You feel it, they feel it, he and she feels it… You can see it in their eyes. It's the one moment of the night when you know the tease is over, and the DJ is about to go all in. This is something I like to call 'The Turning Point', and we have reached it.."

AIRTIME:
Focused on the building elements of a continuous DJ mix, in which peak levels of energy are reached after a specific point in time during the progression, 'The Turning Point' first aired on Friday, Sept. 27th, 2013 and will continue to air Every Last Friday Of The Month @ 1PM Eastern / 6 UK / 19:00 European.

'The Turning Point' (Hour 25)

Here is the full 3 hour b2b live set from myself and James Gill @ Output in Brooklyn NY, where we opened up for the legendary Sasha.  It was an honor to make our Output debut and play the spot for this night, as Sasha has been a huge inspiration for the both of us since we both started DJing.  A bit of nostalgia for me to be in the booth with him on this night as him and John Digweed were the first DJs I was ever exposed to back in the nights and days of the late great NYC megaclub, Twilo.  

This set is recorded live and direct - straight from the mixer and also recorded the crowd and room ambience.  Enjoy The Journey..

My closing set following Lost & Found and Sudbeat's Pedro Aguiar for the second TTP party in NYC - May 6th 2016.  Pedro and I even did a little b2b during this set, as well.  Thanks to everyone who supported the event and came out to dance and celebrate.  Pedro was super excited to make his NYC debut and pleased with how the party went.  He's looking very forward to coming back in the future.  

#thisistheturningpoint

Rory James @ the303 - Closing after Pedro Aguiar - 05616

An absolute honor to be invited to play the opening set for the legendary Sasha, at one of the best clubs in Brooklyn.  Held down the main room for a little over 4 hours.  Not many DJs in my position in NY have had the opportunity to do this, so I am very grateful to have the experience, as it is something I have been waiting patiently for.  Got the chance to push the envelope just a bit, and hand it off to Sasha to take it over into the later (or early) morning hours.  

For me, there is something very special about starting off a club night and witnessing the club slowly fill up, as the people gradually loosen up and get into their zones on the dance-floor as the night takes off.  It''s definitely one of my favorite things to watch and experience as a DJ, looking out into the crowd, and experiencing that at Output was certainly something memorable for me.

Thanks to Brad Miller and the Output team for inviting me to play and having me back once again.  Thanks to everyone who came out to hear me play and showed support.  Was quite delightful to see so many familiar faces in the sea of hungry clubbers.

@ OUTPUT - Opening Set for SASHA - 040717

Here is my live set from The Turning Point 4 Year Anniversary party in The Panther Room at Output last Friday, August 18th.  I have to say, I am super proud and happy that every TTP anniversary party has been a huge success thus far.  The word, the movement, and the idea behind the show is finally starting to get out and it's been pretty crazy to watch it all unfold right before my eyes, especially to physically see it happening in the club when I am organizing and playing these parties.  The energy is always very high and the majority of the dancefloor has always been filled with club heads who are music oriented and ready to party.  Another reason I love putting together and playing these parties is because it gives me the chance to share a handful of those older, timeless records that helped mold my taste in dance music, my dj style and most importantly, these older gems allow me to in a way, share different time periods of my life and clubbing experiences with everyone in that exact moment.  Sort of re-visiting old memories while creating new ones at the same time.  This is my longest TTP live set yet, I played a little under 2 and half hours, and then Oz Arici took it home to close out the night in The Panther Room.  Big thanks to Mir Omar and Oz Arici for supporting me with the event and putting on their best performances helping to make it another unforgettable night.  Thanks to the Output team for having me back and thanks to everyone who has supported the operation at some point since TTP started.  

A hundred parties are happening every week here in NY these days and every once in a while, you find yourself part of a party that will be talked about for weeks, months and maybe years to come because of the sheer quality and satisfaction the clubbers felt the moment the party ended.  Thats how it was, for me at least, back in the day of my early clubbing days, and that is exactly how I try to make these parties impact the people who experience them.  It's ultimately one of the main goals as well - to have enough of an influence, enough hits in the right spots….the needle in the haystack of parties, to create a memory, or memories, that will stay in your mind til your last breath. 

Until next year.  Enjoy the journey..

'The Turning Point' (Hour 53) - Live in The Panther Room @ OUTPUT - New Years vinyl throwback 1 1 18

‘What if the headliner doesn’t show up and you have to play the whole night??’  

I’ve played many opening/warm-up sets in my ‘moonlighting as a DJ’ career over the years, here in NY.  Over these years, I’ve found a system that works for me (and still stick by it) on how I prepare, and it all depends on who I am gonna to be opening for.  This way I can properly prepare, most importantly, the music I need for just the right level of energy I can reach, if I decide to take that route, without outshining the headliner.

Another thing I prep for is this ‘what if?’  So as I get myself prepared for the opening, I always make sure I throw in more than enough music in case this ‘what if’ comes true and the headliner actually does not make it, for whatever the reason, because that shit happens.  But, it has never happened to me..until now.

July 6th, I was scheduled to play an opening set for a specific Drumcode artist, in Atlanta.  I had prepped music appropriate for the night as it was the first time I was going to play a set geared towards an artist who dwells more in the techno realm….and that is not my usual go to style as many of you may know.   After a few stressful hours between the promoters and managers and the headliner dealing with delayed flights, I was told that the main act was not going to be able to make the gig.

At 10:30pm the promoter came up to me and said ‘Rory, the headliner isn’t gonna make it.  The night is yours.  Do what you can til closing.’  At this point (as slight panic set in for 9 seconds), I immediately thought I had to shift my set towards me….me as a DJ, the style I depict…the style a lot of you out there know me for. 

For longer sets, I like to go in with some sort of structure on how I can build the set and construct a full journey, but this one was special and impromptu.  

Here is my first ever ‘open-to close’ set - groovy…moody….raw…structured as it was happening.  This is where the night and the people that experienced it led me.

Thanks to Atlanta and the Substance crew for having me back once again, and to everyone who made it out on this night.  It is another night I’ll never forget.  As long as I have been doing this, I learned a lot about myself as a DJ.  Hopefully one day, I will be able to do an OTC right here in my hometown of Brooklyn..


Enjoy the journey..

Substance: Blackout - Rory James @ The Music Room (ATL) - Open to Close 07 06 18

Hey guys, i got around to uploading my all vinyl 'live' set in it's entire, original form, direct from the club speakers from the Trance Classics night @ National Underground on May 4th 2012.  I said before, that it has been a long time dream of mine to play a trance classics party, ever since I slowly watched all my old vinyl trance gems morph their way into the 'classics' category.  Zack Roth and the Sub Mission crew have made this possible for me, and to make it even better, this was recorded 'live' to encompass the crowd noise and vibe of the club - the way it was meant to be!  For this, I am forever grateful, and it couldn't have been any more perfect so thank you to you guys!

This is roughly a 3 hour set filled with a handful of some of the greatest trance records ever created from the years of 1997 to 2004.  Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, The Thrillseekers, Oliver Lieb, Above & Beyond, M.I.K.E., Airwave, Solarstone, etc etc are all names synonymous with classic trance, and of course, are included in this live classics mix.  At the exact start of the mix, I am mixing out of Zack Roth's last track which was 'Rank 1 - Airwave', into my opening track of 'Paul van Dyk - Another Way'.  Since this is an all vinyl set, please have some patience for a few record skips, needle jumps, loop repeats, snaps, crackles, and pops haha!

At the 1 hour and 49 minute (1:49:00) mark, Frank Chiarello makes his second appearance of the night (after opening things up lovely back to back with Ryan Tyas in the beginning of the night) to finish the night off with me with some back to back techno and tech trance action.  Again, I would like to give a shootout to the Sub Mission crew, and everyone who made this event possible.  This was def a night to remember for me and I am sure as hell it was a night that many who attended will also remember!  Entire tracklist below!  Enjoy The Journey….

One of the many focuses of ‘The Turning Point’ concept was to convey a more refined experience catered to the more educated listener/clubber and more importantly, those who are searching for something with a bit more depth and substance, ultimately seeking a more fulfilled sense of satisfaction.  As a result,  ‘The Turning Point’ has attracted a small but dedicated community of followers over the years - both on a local and global scale.  The music and you are a first priority and we couldn’t be happier to attract the ones who don’t ever need the glam, the ‘show’…the gimmicks.  As another year passes, we want to thank you once again and always for being the listener and clubber the TTP idea has worked towards attracting.

For the 6 Year Anniversary guest-mix, we kept it local, and it’s someone who has been synced with the development and growth of ‘The Turning Point’ since day one.  He has become one of New York’s most notable artists, from DJing consistently around NYC clubland to becoming one of Hernan Catteneo’s top picks in his record box arsenal.   

Along with being an exceptional DJ and a mainstay in Cattaneo’s collection, his work has gained approval from legends such as Guy J, Nick Muir, Anthony Pappa, Solarstone and Gai Barone.  Releasing original material and remixes across the globe on labels such as Solarstone’s Pure Progressive imprint, onedotsixtwo, 3rd Avenue and Balkan Connection, he continues to capture the attention of more and more artists and clubbers, far & wide, across the electronic music spectrum every day.  With incredible attention to detail in every piece of work he creates, it is easy to notice him as one of America’s finest breakthrough talents.

'The Turning Point' (Hour 72) 6 Year Anniversary w/ Special Guest - Mir Omar

Here is the full b2b set between myself and Mir Omar for the 6 Year Anniversary of ‘The Turning Point’. 

Another successful party for The Turning Point here in Brooklyn, last Friday.  Thank you so much to everyone for all the ongoing support and if it wasn’t for all the TTP clubbers and followers here in NY and beyond, these parties wouldn’t be happening .  I am very grateful it has attracted such a dedicated group of followers who believe in the concept.  A three and a half hour journey from myself and Mir….and It’s looking like something we will continue to do again and again for the NY crowd ;)

Thanks again for all the support and looking forward to TTP7 in 2020 ;) 

Enjoy The Journey.

Rory James b2b Mir Omar @ 'The Turning Point' 6 Year Anniversary - Rose Gold, Brooklyn 12619

Here is last Friday's recording of pretty much the full 3 hour set as I started it a little late. A bit of a dirty recording - some of the hard settings on the recorder must have gotten shifted in my travels but it was meant to be. The dance floor didn’t let up for the entire duration and what a pleasure it was to look out into the crowd and see nothing but pure bliss. I completely lost track of time towards the end of the set and didn’t get the chance to properly wind down the energy for the closing moments, but still managed to think fast for a memorable ending. Big shoutout to those last 30 to 40 people who didn’t want to go home!

A mix of light, dark, grit, perfection, mistakes and mishaps, highs, lows…a journey..in all it’s ugliness and beauty..

Institution_YWG, thank you so much for continuing to make my dreams into reality. DJs, If you ever get the chance to work with the Institution_YWG team, you are very lucky. A hell of an experience. 

@institutionywg

And as far as the virus and the times we are living in at the moment - Stay healthy. Stay safe…and listen to good music.

Thank you to everyone who popped their head in and contributed to The Turning Point  at some point over the years.  It’s been one hell of a journey and luckily I have befriended the right people who made it easier and more rewarding when putting all the pieces of the puzzle together as we went along.  Thank you to the listeners, fans and clubbers.  Without you, there would be no ‘TTP’, there would be no party.

And speaking of party, I can’t wait to be back playing at one again.  Wishing for good things to come in the near future so we can all dance together again.

As you know, the yearly anniversary episodes are 2 hour mixes which include a special 1 hour guest mix from a hand picked artist from myself.  I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to include artists that have inspired me with their music and creative talents.  They are all artists I feel need to be more in the spotlight and who’s talents need more recognition. 

For the 7 year anniversary guest mix, it was only right to keep things close to home, and help give true NYC talent the exposure it deserves once again.  I’ve been waiting a long while for him to finally be able to break out of his shell and unveil his hidden talents to the world.  We met 7 years ago around the time TTP first started and he’s been inspired by the show and concept, catching every months episode and gathering ideas for his own productions and sound over the years.

Working quietly in his project studio in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn (where he was born and raised), I can now say I am more than happy he’s finally been experiencing the fruits of his labor getting the recognition it deserves.  A home run with his first at bat - his new release ‘Pillars to Butterflies’ hot off the press on Nick Warren’s ‘Hope Recordings’, includes the vigorous and energetic ‘Sumeria’, which Warren himself has been smashing in just about every one of his sets across the globe for the last 18 months. I can’t see a better way to start a Discography.  And his own Sumeria is included later on the mix which might actually be the turning point of the mix.

A great friend, talented producer, and overall great guy who’s got a bright future ahead of him and the same birthday as me…and now he’s ready to take the DJ world by storm.

TTP proudly Presents….

Mike Isai with an exclusive studio mix, dedicated to 7 Years of The Turning Point.

'The Turning Point' (Hour 84) - 7 Year Anniversary w/ Mike Isai

Taken live and direct from Santos Party House on 1/5/2013, here is a little over 1 hour of my set from the 'James vs James' saga.  This is pretty much an expression of how I am as a DJ, programming and selecting some of my favorites at the moment during this time of the year.  A very hypnotic and drivin' sound, blending an assortment of textures in the mix.  Had I been able to play a bit longer, I can assure you that my flow of mood changes, ups & downs, lefts and rights, etc, would have remained consistent, all streaming together to make the listeners and clubbers dance.  The 'LIVE' recorder's battery had died about 45 minutes into the set, so the crowd noise disappears around this time.  Gotta say, the crowd noise makes you 'feel' what the vibe/atmosphere was like in the club at this hour of the morning.  Enjoy The Journey…
