In fact, you don't play any big records when you're the opener.

Yeah, any of the big club records.

I remember opening for Funkmaster Flex and being so nervous to play anything.

I didn't play anything from literally the past seven years or something.

And then the idea of playing huge records to an empty room, trying to ignite a room before it's ready.

I mean, that's why they call it, you know, the expression reading a room.

Like, it's like, I don't know if it literally goes back to DJing, but it's like reading the floor, reading the room, reading the dance floor.

It's like, there's so much of it that's just, yes, it's the interplay between you and the crowd.

You could be in the best...

nightclub in the world with the best sound system.

It doesn't matter if the crowd isn't with you and you don't have a relationship with them.

That's what it all comes down to, certainly for a great night.

Thank you so much.
