Incident Report: The Groove Singularity

The Mochakk Incident
On April 17, 2023, at 22:37 CET, a Class-5 Temporal Rift was detected during a Cercle performance. The disturbance correlates precisely with the introduction of Terry Hunter's remix of "Workin' Hard" into the set.
Energy Analysis: Seville's power grid registered an unexplained 73% spike, momentarily surpassing the output of the entire Iberian Peninsula.
"Witnesses on the dance floor reported 'Dual Grooves'—a sensation of physical presence in both 2023 Seville and a warehouse in 1994 New York simultaneous."
Legal BriefingSTATUS: UNRESOLVED
Inter-Agency Dispute
- Agencia Andaluza de la Energía asserts regional jurisdiction citing grid instability.
- CNMC (Spain) argues for liability under the Regulatory Statute on Unintended Quantum Violations—a clause originally drafted for the Large Hadron Collider.
- European Temporal Anomalies Bureau (ETAB) maintains that a musical event cannot be solely liable, citing the 2020 Defected Records Incident in Ibiza (see below).
""The rift did not destroy time. It created an infinite, self-sustaining loop of house music. We are observing stable timeline branching."

The Defected Incident
Defense cites a Carl Cox B2B Jamie Jones set where a similar anomaly reportedly erased the summer of 1989 from local shared memory. No charges were filed due to lack of evidence (the evidence never existed).
