part of the joy is the performance tho - just slappin your hand across a group of keys without concern for any western harmonic rules.... talk about feelin free.
could be some real academic shit here too - Jazz (and derivations of) is the lived expression of feelings as representative of its ability to embrace the structural rules of music but then pivot and dance all around, outside, in and in-between said structures.
as someone with an actual performance background and not just mouse clicks on laptops, there really is a kind of monumental rush of finding ways to subvert the expectations of structure. its freeing, really. also as someone who hates rules, its also cool to bend and break em when desired.
protip: when you DJ that track its fun to rip the mid channel EQ out and in (rhythmically of course) to push and pull on teh frequencies of that chord. it creates a real frenetic build with the extreme frequencies of kick and hats staying constant supplying foundation. it works, trust me.
