he'll be back.
he didn't suck. his set just had little flow and progression to it. on a graph, his performance would have high peaks & low valleys. what a dancefloor wants is a direct linear relationship, a build, a solid progression.
when he was up, he was fucking good. when he was down, the dancefloor felt it, and so did he. he's extremely critical of himself. and yes, maher closed the night because danny had a very early flight to catch, not because he didn't want to continue playing. the sound issues hardly bothered him, he was very professional about the whole glitch.
no grounds to never book him again, to do so would be quite harsh.

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'.
