  4. danielforests (me)- i played such an assortment of tracks. anything i'd call hyperpop, and i call rage/opium sound hyperpop as well.

people responded really well to 'i really want to stay at your house' which i only really played because i was out of hype tracks in that 120~130 bpm range... people were really full of energy... i had to keep it up.

also i played 6~7 of my own remixes and people loved it :D perhaps i am goated. vlcsnap-2025-12-09-18h01m00s777.png
