    modular · berlin school territory100 bpm
    berlin school / cosmic · Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream · 1975

    100bpm 8th-note hypnotic sequence through the modular pulse-pad program in C minor. Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream / late-70s Berlin school DNA. delay + plate on by default — the FX are half the genre.

    trap · 808 sub + half-time140 bpm
    atlanta trap · Lex Luger / Metro Boomin era · 2011

    half-time pocket at 140 (feels like 70). kick on 1+3, snare on 3 only, hi-hat 16ths with a triplet roll. moog 808-sub slides root → 5. tape on for cohesion. this is the atlanta template.

    parliament · flash light bass110 bpm
    p-funk · Parliament · 1977

    moog-only bass pattern walking root-5-b7-root in Bb minor — bernie worrell's expressive monosynth phrasing. add drive to taste.

    dub · lee scratch territory76 bpm
    jamaican dub / roots reggae · Lee Scratch Perry · 1976

    76bpm. sparse 909 (kick 1, snare 3) + sustained moog sub on 1 of each bar. delay carries the song — that's the whole lesson. delay + plate on by default. drive optional for that ratty bbd character.

    footwork · chicago 160160 bpm
    chicago footwork / juke · RP Boo / DJ Rashad · 2010

    909 only at 160bpm. kick stutter (1, 1.25, 2, 3.75) IS the song. claps half-time on the and-of-3/4. no bass — footwork needs the floor empty so the dancers can move. drive on for the punch.
