The Morning Before by Adrenus Craton

Mixing music for his audience, an audience of dancers… This time he walks the empty streets of London. It’s very early in the morning, and there is peace. He finds himself just before he takes the stage. And then it happens… The morning before is where he came alive, entered the zone and now he’s ready to perform.
