NISA clubs Detroit Footwork and Chicago Goa-Psytrance FC issued a challenge to new team Chicago House Athletic Club for control of the 2021 NISA dancefloor during the upcoming season.
“We will cut shapes and then we will cut them down,” stated Detroit Footwork owner David “DJ Lights” Henderson. “They will know us by our rhythm and our base and our innovative 4-3-2-1 that provides width with our fullbacks.”
Sources indicate that Goa-Psytrance FC are channeling body transcendence via ancient shamanic rituals and sampled verses from the songs of Lorna Cordeiro while experimenting with a holding midfielder that who constantly produces a game rhythm that never drops.
“We will control the 1s, the 2s and even the number 9s,” stated head coach Steven “DJ Konkan Enlightenment” Smith. “Our beat comes from the idea of the Surpavo and the Konpavo reinterpreted through distorted zen koans that are then re-interpreted through a modern holding midfielder. This midfield, just by virtue of his play, will question the opposing defense to dance.. or to not dance… and if dancing to put up ones hands.”
The supporters groups of the three teams indicate that there will be a supporter driven competition, as well, as they pushed the front offices of their teams to respect the genre and the game.
“The teams have agreed to a 32 bar moment of silence for Daft Punk at the start of each derby game,” stated SG member Philip Valenzuela. “If you read our manifesto posted to our di.fm page you will see that we’ve asked for referees to be outfitted with pacifier shaped whistles for their own safety and to enforce red cards for dropping the beat. We have our differences with each other. but I still believe that glowsticks are an affectation that we do not need in this league and that has nothing to do with me being pegged in the face with a glowstick on string during the last meeting of our two teams.”
Despite their differences, the groups announced a community dance off to celebrate the new derby as the supporters from all three teams agree to a simmering détente over the Electro-Industrial sounds of Wumpscut.
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Goa-Psytrance FC claim that the Detroit Footwork contacted David Guetta to play their opening game instead of Jlin.
