We play a lot of music here
A range that goes from A to Z
To no one style do we adhere
So I present this history
Of electronica and dance
Its shaky start in Germany
A gentle side-step into trance
And full-on bloom in the 90s
We're going to try to skip the crap
Of which, I'm sure, there was plenty
But we'll still brush against the rap
And kick it with a 303.
