Hands up if you were at an illegal rave in 2021! :)

One of the things that's cool about 2020 and 2021 is getting to experience things that were mostly forgotten relics of the past as very real experiences today. I never thought I'd go to a real speakeasy (not a gimmicky cocktail bar with a password or hidden door). Illegal raves in the woods have always remained a thing, but have gotten a bit of extra cachet this last year.

This is actually enjoyable, I could imagine working with this in the background. Great work!

edit: You can't actually hide the window in Safari, as it goes to like 10 BPM. Is it a power saving feature or what?

I like how the buttons flash before changing. Feels like a videogame

Feature request: if you replace the "techno" sounds with piano notes, you'll get a potentially interesting melody.

They're probably all illegal in 2021 in countries with social distancing laws :o
