Festival Program Note

In the wake of the aborted slot, a stern voice steps out to restore order. The stage resets to defaults. The tempo is explained. The proper way to dance is outlined. Arms are to remain sensible. Joy is to be measured. Unfortunately, someone has discovered the pad controller. What follows is not rebellion, exactly—just unfiltered enthusiasm colliding with authority, as perfectly behaved trance drops dissolve into joyful, rule-breaking noise.

Lead Puppet Producer

Dial – Dial wrote Trance_Rules.docx as a perfectly ordered manifesto—clean builds, sensible arm angles, kick and bass aligned like well-labeled folders. He loved it. Then Patch suggested the “Interrupted Edition,” where a pad-happy gremlin keeps derailing the rules mid-lecture, and Dial experienced what can only be described as measurable physical discomfort. Still, he knew the chaos would land with a crowd, so he reframed the whole thing as exposure therapy: let the interruptions happen, then prove the grid can absorb them. The trance sections are immaculate on purpose—Dial’s comfort zone, polished to surgical precision—so every sidetrack feels like a test he chooses to survive rather than a system failure.

This track will outline the proper Rules of trance and dance floor conduct One beat per count, maintain the pace Feet on the floor, no wild displays Arms at a height that's safe and fair No sudden jumps that fill the air Four bars composed with dignity A measured rise in energy Prepare yourself, no need to shout The drop should be very civil Who said safe? Brass in your face! Yeah daddy! More boom booms! This is categorically unacceptable! May I continue? A trance event requires control Please do not hit the mixing desk Form tidy rows, avoid all bumps No audience-led primal thumps We now resume the rule review Stand still and nod, that motion's due Contain your joy, respect the beat The next drop should be quite restrained I... absolutely refuse May I continue? Dance is meant to follow the rules Structure, order, and decorum Thank you, my friend... someone civil A trance event needs discipline Stay in your lane, keep order in The drop arrives in four short counts Please brace yourself, do not let go I said four counts not Whatever this is I... cannot endorse this recording Good night Good night
