DJ Cassidy hosted a 75-minute DJ set at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night .

The set was one of the most energizing moments of the 2024 Democratic convention.

Cassidy: "I think we injected a high dose of emotion into a typically emotionless process" He says he's seen tweets and comments and posts with people saying they teared up from the music.

"I wanted some to be obvious, where everyone across the planet would understand it right away, and some to have a more nuanced connection.

I also had an ongoing list of songs that exuded the spirit of the night , like "Girl on Fire " and "Respect" Some of the choices were obvious, some prompted a lot of Googling .

" Pass the Mic " was a 75-minute performance, meticulously curated for weeks .

The faster the BPM doesn't always have a positive correlation with the emotion and the energy of the energy.

It's hard to believe it's been 17 years since I did Obama 's first inauguration.
