Lost in the Night: The Three Kings of House Invoked God at Mighty, and It Was Good
Kahley Avalon Emerson
Morales set proved to be the longest and most exhausting. He spoke through his selections and created a narrative of emotions that scattered far across the spectrum. Working the effects and EQs, he made massive drops appear out of thin air in relatively static tracks like Fast Eddie's "Let's Go (Don't U Want Some More)." He would play complete sentences of music, with each song perfectly placed to convey a specific mood. He took the room into dark corridors of tortured longing, before blasting off into the euphoric disco of MFSB's "Love is the Message" and The Believers' "Who Dares To Believe In Me."
Eventually I realized we had been dancing for what seemed like an eternity. My legs were so stiff that I could only afford a slight shuffle. Bobby Konders' "The Poem" came on, and I looked at my watch -- it was 4:15 am. We'd come this far, why not stick it out 'til the end? Compelled by the spirit of house, we kept dancing right on up to Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman (C&C House Mix)," the last song before the lights came on.
