    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.

    chicago acid house · Phuture · 1987
