        The clue for 24 across was genius! As someone who actually mixes music, I was thrown off & delighted when I finally got it.

          really awesome mechanic, it's so smart! i think the clue for RSTU was really smart, definitely made RSTU more acceptable in the crossword haha
          in addition to RSTU, i love the clues for SPOO / NERISM, HOLEINONE, and UNSEEN. brilliant misdirections on each!
