Is this what religion feels like?
I really am out of loss for words. Going on 30 years of dancing and music and underground stuff… I really didn’t know it could be this good.
The subtle things is what really blew me away. Starting with a line. It’s honestly perfect. People see a line and assume they should wait in it and it is what they want. The reality is the line is what keeps people who don’t perfectly enjoy it
, out. I’m assuming more than 50% of the people that enter are out of the tent within 10 minutes.
Blasting air into the tent? That shit is amazing. I don’t know how many warehouse parties I’ve been to that were so hot and musty that we all dreamed about oxygen.
The slow burn. Gradually migrating towards the center of the ball. Anxiously waiting. Anxiously wanting to see that thing go off. Slowly bringing up the energy until the ball goes off, and everybody loses their mind and just when you see the smiling faces and color of the entire crowd climbing to a peak… Darkness. The videos don’t do the darkness justice. Building the energy so much and then forcibly reminded to slow down. Take a second. This is the long game. This feeling can last longer if you take your time. To be with yourself in that darkness, and no that hundreds of other strangers are feeling that same feeling. It’s beautiful. There’s nothing quite like it.
I’ve been waiting for a long time to experience Despacio and it beyond exceeded my expectations. I have a lot more to say, but I don’t want to jam up this thread. Other than saying that the happiness is real.
