Just for clarification, does it fall within the rules to use instruments and/or samples that came from previous renoise releases that were not included in 3.0?

Yes, it does, although it would be sporting to list sources in your submission in that case.
Something like: Upright Bass from renoise 2.8 distribution pack XYZ.
what’s the policy on third-party impulse responses in the convoler? out of the question also?
Thumbs down, I’m afraid. The goal is to showcase what Renoise can do for you, using only Renoise and what the Renoise team has provided. The only exception here is recorded vocals, because Renoise doesn’t have a speech synthesis engine (but it can certainly apply effects to recorded vocals).
I like these rules as a framework for inspiration. I’m not so sure about the “anti” theme though. That puts me off a bit…
(maybe it’s because I don’t live in the US, and old enough to remember the first wave of rave → cue acid smiley ).
Bottom line: challenging myself to produce something.
Yeah, I’m sorry about that. Poor phrasing on my part. I was trying to reach for a broader world, than the usual cliche that trackers are only good for laying down lots of Oontz-Oontz-Oontz, when in actual fact they’re very powerful, and Renoise has a good claim to be king of the trackers. (With all due respect to OpenMPT, Sunvox, Milky and so on…)
In fact, I’m old enough to remember when disco was a thing, and to recognise the tight links (musically) between what ABBA and the BeeGees were doing and what you might hear on a lot of modern dancefloors. Add some electronic flexibility, add the rhythmic influences of the caribbean, and you’re most of the way there.
So I’m not trying to look down my nose at neurostep or jungle or anything. Just looking for a different musical use of the tool.
Because Renoise is too powerful to be pigeonholed!
Yes, tools are a core feature of Renoise. They are explicitly permitted. If you’re into ambient music, then a few of those tools make wonderful, rich synth noises.

Not four to the floor (enough yet?)
Made with Renoise 3.0.1 and native built-in effects and only instruments and samples from the Renoise 3.0.1 library.

Nice work!
I like that you take the base of a latin rhythm - always a good time for a dance, even if the EDM producers of the world tend to skip it. I also like that you work with the key changes for progression, while keeping the rhythmic, almost percussive quality of the top line.
What particularly interests me is how you use automation rather than melodic progression to shape the song’s structure. Unfortunately that’s slightly counterbalanced by the repetitive shape of the content. It would be interesting to hear with an additional melody line which progresses over the top.
However, you have the bragging rights! First entry, and the deadline is well past.
