Playlist: reinterpret_cast<vol1>

Description
The last six months have been for me a strange mix of big change and time feeling like it stands still. I've had less time alone in the car, less time to think, contemplate, and listen to ridiculous music. Weirdly as the rest of my family turned more to music during time at home, I turned to different pastimes in the few free moments remaining, influenced by fall from grace of one of my favorite musicians.

When I heard that Hackathon 18 was going to be cyberpunk themed, I was happy, having been a lifelong fan of the genre in film, literature, and games. And it meshes with a darker tone that has influenced my more recent diet of electronic music.

My previous casts here were called dynamic_cast<>, a wry nod to my work in dynamic and a reference to a c++ keyword. This time things are a bit different. In c++ a reinterpret_cast is one that ignores typing, doesn't have any structure, and can be considered haphazard. It reflects this eclectic mix - mostly things that I haven't been able to get out of my head, or bizarre stuff that the Algorithm recommended.. that somehow proved Spotify was able to predict some truly weird stuff I'd enjoy (.. Spanish and German Hardstyle.. what? but catchy).

It is a strange mix. Enjoy!
