Current Music: Josh Wink - Higher State of Consciousness (Dirty South & TV Rock Radio Edit)
The music plays at full blast. You know the tune. You know the lyrics too. Everyone screams and hits the dance floor, while I stand there, mesmerised. It's not that I don't like dancing, it's not that I can't dance, but it's just that I do not want to dance, for I've been dancing in my head all this while, and I continue to do so.
Seeing everyone shake a leg, I admire their passion as they pay utmost respect to the music. They are in a trance, just like me. A higher state of consciousness, if you will, just like yours truly. Probably I'm tapping my feet, or head-banging in accordance with the beat, and scribbling down a note on my cellphone when I hear an unknown monster tune.
"Don't you dance?", somebody asks. "I like making people dance," snapping back. Dance is for you to worship, while I enjoy and play the music that makes you do so.
I keep thinking about the sequence of the numbers. A pause here, a cross-fade there, trying to learn every trick that the deejay is upto.
You stop dancing once the party has ended, but my mental dance continues long after that. Every number has to be revisited for its awesomeness, as I work, and when I drive. Crank up the bass. Let every thud hit your eardrums like there's no tomorrow.
Am I different from you? Essentially, no. The only difference is that you can get onto the dance floor anyday, while I long to be off it, on the console. Will my fingers be able to work the same magic? I don't know.
Some day...

All those posts on house music will now give way to something that can tickle your aural senses, at last.
A lot of time and effort has gone into finding house playlists, and in trying to glean the best out of them. Many of my friends have also liked the numbers that I've been listening to, and that leads me to believe that house music can be liked by a wide variety of people.
Presenting the playlist that rocks my socks. Will try to keep it up-to-date with the most awesome tracks out there. Give it a listen, and if you start shaking a leg, let me know.
