In his mind, he isn't in a sweat-slicked room in East London. He is ten years old again, standing on the jagged cliffs of the Antrim coast. The air is cold enough to sting, smelling of salt and wet heather.

The rhythmic strobe of the warehouse pulses like a dying star, every flash catching a fragment of a memory. Elias closes his eyes, but the music—that heavy, melodic Bicep synth—doesn’t just stay in his ears; it vibrates in the marrow of his bones.

He is holding a spool of nylon string. Above him, a kite—bright, neon orange against a bruised purple sky—is fighting the gale. It doesn't fly; it screams. It’s a frantic, beautiful tension, a thin line being pulled between the earth and the infinite. Thump. Thump. Thump.

He realizes then that everyone here is a kite. We spend our lives trying to catch the wind, trying to rise above the grey concrete of the everyday, tethered only by the fragile strings of our own heartbeat and the person standing next to us.

The kick drum brings him back. The track, "Kites," begins to soar, those airy, ethereal vocal chops swirling above the bassline. Elias feels that same tension now. He looks around the dancefloor and sees dozens of others, arms raised, eyes closed, all tethered to the same frequency.

The melody breaks. The tension snaps. For a second, the room is weightless. Elias lets go of the spool in his mind and, for the duration of the song, he finally learns how to fly without falling.
