It’s a DropMix dropquote!

Like a dropquote, you need to spell a message by bringing the right letter down into the grid from each column. Like a puzzle based on the game DropMix, you need to identify which cards are used in each audio clip.

Each DropMix card represents a letter, the first letter of the band name. (One small nudge in that direction is that the columns are sorted in alphabetical order by band name.) In this way, each mix represents a single five-letter word.

Those words give the ten-word message WRITE EVERY TRACK TITLE WHERE CARDS ENTER RIGHT AFTER WILDS.

Some DropMix cards are designated as “wild” cards in the game, the ones whose full cards show a multicolor volume meter. The wilds used in this puzzle are noted below. In each audio file, new songs join the mix in a specific order, based on the order the cards were played, and the order is also noted below. Identify the cards that enter the mix immediately after a wild card, and write the titles of those tracks. Just as you used the first letters of the band names earlier, now use the first letters of those track titles to spell the answer LAMBIC.

* - Wild.
** - Enters after the Wild.
