You can really never prepare for the unexpected. Last Thursday, at the beginning of my set for @BLACKSTAR , my DJ equipment malfunctioned and had to be replaced not just once, but twice 🥲 I knew I had to act fast to get the issue fixed while keeping the vibes up for the night 🏃🏽‍♀️💨 Big shoutout to the team at Pianos for quickly bringing replacement and @ST☆R GRL, @Sarah 🦋, and @fredbolarinwaa for keeping me calm and helping me change over the equipment 🙏🏽 And bigger shoutout to everyone in the crowd who stayed on the dancefloor through 10 minutes of tech problems. Your energy was truly contagious and kept me in good spirits. Despite all the issues, this was probably one of my favorite night that I’ve played. It really felt like community fr 🙂‍↕️ #femaledjs #gqom #amapiano
