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 which part the song completely changes at.

The song title's origin is "a gathering of small waves", which is compared to the 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 which part the song completely changes at.

Video Production Information

I personally really like the latter-half of the song and its title too.
I fell in love with club music when I heard it for the first time, and it was with 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 tired and sad over how old they were.
This type of song genre really makes you feel your age, doesn't it?
Since it's electronic music, does this song signify the evolution of equipment used? I'm not quite sure.
Anyways, it's strange that this type of groove has re-emerged despite the latest sounds being currently used.
As expected of dj TAKA, it's a fine song.
