Scenario

Some nights don’t disappear; they just fold themselves into memory, waiting for the world to swing around to the same angle of light. The ancient Stoics believed the cosmos burned down and rebuilt itself in perfect repetition—same stars, same storms, same stories. Nietzsche took it further: everything returns, down to the smallest gesture and the faintest breath.

I’ve been feeling that same pull—like the room still exists in a parallel loop, unchanged, waiting for the moment it intersects with the present again. The city moves on, people drift, aesthetics evolve… but certain ideas stay suspended just outside the visible frame, patient and precise, holding their charge. It’s that signal running underneath the noise, subtle but unmistakable. The kind of energy that doesn’t ask permission to return, it simply announces itself.

Scenario reconvenes December 26—on a new night (Fridays) and with a new frequency (monthly)—at @thelovesongbar DTLA. Resident DJs @mapamota.xo and yours truly, plus open decks and special guests TBA.
