I love the fact that people from all over the world can listen to Trance/Techno/House ect. and and remember where they were when they 1st heard it and can relate to people they have never met before in their lives. Club music is the way to world peace! we should stop fighting ourselves and start getting ready for the Zombie Apocolyps or the Alien Invasion. Just Saying.
