The R&B Late Shift
The night really starts when the tempo drops.

You love the slow part, and you will wait for it. You tend to treat the loud hours as the warm up for what you actually came for: late R&B, a two step with the person you came with, and the song everyone pretends not to know the words to until the chorus arrives. People like you understand that a floor is not only for jumping. Some of the best moments in a hip hop night happen at a lower tempo, a little closer together, with the whole room singing softly.
You often hang back during peak time, talking, watching and saving your energy. Then the DJ slows it down and suddenly you are in the middle of the floor. You like warm rooms, a system that is kind to vocals, and a DJ brave enough to drop the tempo at three in the morning. Dinner first, a long night, and a slow jam you have loved since school is your idea of a very good Saturday, and you will remember the song long after you forget the club.
