A young clubber has spoken to Wunderground about how during a recent clubbing experience he danced “extra hard” as soon as he recognised the track that the DJ was playing.
“I was having an okay time,” confided Alex Blake (pictured). “I was just kind of gently rocking, tapping my foot and sporadically looking at my phone for no reason while thinking about going out for a piss and then a cigarette on the way back, or pondering whether I should do it vice versa – smoke first, then piss.”
“But then I heard the opening synth stabs of Ten Walls Requiem,” he recalled. “I was fucking delighted. Both because I knew and loved the track, but also because I recognised it coming in really, really, really early in the mix – something I pride myself on.”
“I turned to my friend John who, as well as being an excellent friend, DJ and dancer, has above average hearing, and said to him ‘This is Ten Walls coming in now'” continued Alex. “John pursed his lip and tilted his head to one side as if listening, or stretching a creek in his neck, and replied ‘Is it?'”
“Yes, I replied, it is,” stated John. “And then the track properly dropped. John beamed a smile that both welcomed the tune and congratulated me on my success in recognising it.”
Following his recognising the track, Alex claims he “fistpumped with up to 70% more torque” while moving his body more energetically, stating it “wasn’t full throttle, but almost”.
“Nothing beats the feeling of dancing to a track you recognise and love,” continued Alex. “You can really get into it and ignore people while you dance much harder and if there are lyrics you can mouth the words to yourself even though you’re not entirely confident that you know them.”
“After Ten Walls dropped out and some tune I didn’t know came on, I went with my initial desires and took a long, deserved piss,” concluded Alex. “On the way back, I stopped off in the smoking area, slouched against the wall with the easy confidence of a man perfectly suited to his time and place, and lit up a cigarette.”
“A cigarette,” he added, “of victory.”
