Three Fifty-Nine Minutes Between Beyond and Windy

The set opens at 3:01 with Around Us — Beyond — and the title is almost instruction. The hour belongs to people still awake on purpose: the bartender cashing out in Little Havana, the valet at a Collins Avenue hotel leaning on a column, the long drive back from a wedding in Kendall. Idjut Boys stretch Dido until White Flag stops being a breakup and becomes a shrug at the ceiling fan. Röyksopp follows like a window cracked open for the humidity.

By 3:28 the Benga remix of I Feel Love drops the bottom out. Justice's Ohio, New Order's Chemical, Gorge's Moeko — this is the hinge of the session, where the city stops pretending it's winding down. The KLF make it rain at 3:50. Robert Casey's Stargate lifts the ceiling.

Four AM arrives with Michael Jansons reassuring everyone, and Schiller's Ruhe at 4:14 is the first honest exhale. Proff & Diana Miro push it back up; Todd Terry's rework of Wrong puts a heartbeat on the empty MacArthur Causeway. Felix Da Housecat paints the room neon for four minutes.

Then the turn. Darcie Peppers — Morning Life. Lindstrom — Cirkl. Café Del Mar at 5:00 sharp, The Floating Sun, and Poolside asking to be taken home as the sky over the Atlantic finally admits to being blue. Tosca, Groove Armada's Save My Soul, Namatjira's Jumé thinning into air.

Six AM: Alley SA's Cycles, Underworld's Jumbo like a slow tide, Seycel's Golden Horizon named after what's actually happening outside. Roman Sebastian slips Spanish into the mix at 6:35. Renato Cohen closes with Windy, and it is.
