Song Production Information

The song title's origin is "a gathering of small waveforms" as an analogy for beatmania gameplay. However, there's another meaning that's not related to the song's contents (Is there also a hint in the number of notes used?).
I combined two separate house tracks with a crossfader in order to create the atmosphere of a DJ game, ranging from hardware to music. I'd be happy if you can identify in which part the song completely changes at.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
I personally really like the song's latter-half.
I was hooked on club music when I heard it for the first time, and it was this song's groove which attracted me to the genre.
Having said that, when I returned home and listened to those songs from that era, I strangely felt sad to find that they sounded very old or dull...
This genre really makes you feel like your age, doesn't it?
Since it's electronic music, maybe it signifies the evolution of the equipment used? I'm not quite sure.
Anyways, it's strange that this groove has re-emerged despite the latest sounds being used.
As expected of dj TAKA, it's a fine song.
