    Recurring patterns

    • Repeated volume jumps

      Gain-staging mismatches break perceived continuity and force the crowd to readjust. Detected 2× (5:32, 9:45).

    • Long static loops (4×)

      Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (21:00, 30:00, 61:00, 69:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
