Culture Clash: breakbeat+ensemble=4, four-on-floor kick, louder steel drum, DCI cadence

Browse Source 
- Added breakbeat drum pattern (64 bars, ensemble=4, volume=0.45)
- Four-on-the-floor kick (bars 9-56, fades out)
- Steel drum (Hotline Bling) bumped to 0.7
- DCI-style cadence on final bar: flam drags → triplet accents → 3 unison hits → fermata
