09.\u00a0 Boom!!! Detroit Techno steps into the room. Kevin Saunderson presents Inner City\u2019s \u201cGood Life<\/a>,\u201d causes ears to bleed, not from the content, but the volume that is pitched to screeching decibels.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

03.\u00a0 Behold, standing, surrounded in a zombie apocalypse of mouths lipping, \u201cIf I lose my woman.\u201d The sight is uncanny. Even Mr. Kai Alc\u00e9 is entranced, 2 stepping, spinning around and singing on cue to the classic Kenny Lattimore (Masters At Work Remix).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

02.\u00a0 Experiencing the peak hour rush of being raptured by Peven Everett\u2019s \u201cBurning Hot<\/a>.\u201d The Timmy Regisford & Adam Rios Mix ignites the room in flames. Sending dancers to the floor and bodies capsizing midair.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
