Ok so I get to Stereobar at 11pm. Maher and Ned were warming up the place nicely...Got rather crowded around 1am...I got the news about Sharam and hit the roof, didn't know what to tell the people asking me questions...I was kinda shocked myself.
Anyhow, up to the main room we went...Sultan was throwing down some funked up shit, quite pleasing to the ears I must say. I enjoyed Boris' set for about an hour and then it got kinda wierd...I can't find another word for it...WIERD. Then Maher tells me that Sultan and himself are closing the night from 8-10. I was like damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it I gotta stay up for another 4 hours?!?!?! But at the same time hehehe...
So, Sultan & Maher's set: WOOOOOOOOOOW By farrrrrrrr, the bestest I have heard from you babe. Absolutely phenomenal. That bpm was UPPPPPP there, a nice change from your usual more flowy, grooving, deeper style. I was falling asleep in the VIP and then I totally woke up and the energy from you guys' set just shot straight through me and I somehow managed to stay awake and have an absolutely mindblowing time. The place stayed PACKED til the wee hours of the morning...And some guy thought Maher was Sharam LMFAO! Highlight of the night: closing with FUCK SATURDAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. OMG I can't get it outta my head!!! That and Young Punks vs. Reflekt (Ned Shepard's Need to Rock Ned Mashup) OMGGGGGGG I die. DIE!
Respect to Annie (everything was PERFECT! lol), Julian for being a complete loudass crowd pumper hehehe and, of course, to the men behind the decks: Sultan, Ned and Maher...Thank you for the experience of you guys' music, it really moves me and takes me to a place I never want to leave 
Awesome night

Afterhours is a state of mind, but significantly, it's more a state of 'I don't mind'. A determined continuation, contentment and relief that 'it ain't over yet!' An injection of music into attitude and occasion which creates an emotional wave forth that isolates globally, a ringing harmonic, a signal to a like-minded collective that 'we are only us'.
