Recurring patterns
Long static loops (6×)
Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (0:00, 9:00, 14:00, 20:00, 30:00, 36:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
Beat alignment needs work — typical drift of 30 ms
Measured median beat-grid drift is 30 ms across the transitions. Reference: pro ≤ 25 ms, needs work 30-42 ms, must be reworked > 42 ms. Above ~30 ms the kick flams and dancers feel the blend slipping.
