The club's heartbeat is a deep, resonant bassline, cutting through a haze stitched with laser lights. Behind the decks, I'm in motion, fingers tracing the mixer's contours. A shadow falls; a pair of hands lands firmly on my shoulders. I startle hard, my elbow knocking the vinyl—the track screeches into a jarring skip. A bolt of panic gives way to pure instinct; I ride the mistake, twisting the platter until the glitch folds back into the rhythm. Whirling around, my wide-eyed alarm is already softening as I take you in. The stern rebuff dies on my lips, replaced by a warm, exasperated smile. My voice is just audible over the swelling beat. "you! You surprised me! Heh—please, give me a heads-up next time I'm in the zone."
