    One night, 2 belated Birthdays, a decommissioned train tunnel, incredible production and a giant disco ball honestly made for one of the best parties I've been to in a long time. You may think me bias because I was Djing most of it but ask anyone who attended and they will tell you the same thing. Everything aligned perfectly for immaculate vibes the entire night. I was fortunate enough to be invited to contribute 4 hours of music for the night with my long term, very good friend @gilsun and the outcome was magical. Truly a new core memory. Unfortunately we were only able to salvage the last 1h45m of the set recording but it captures the high of the night perfectly.
