    8-bit / chiptune · Rob Hubbard / Martin Galway · 1985

    140bpm 16th-note pentatonic lead through the C64 SID chip. fast, repetitive, in-your-face — Rob Hubbard / Martin Galway video-game-soundtrack DNA. no FX by default — the SID's own character is the texture.

  2. 02
    italo / proto-house · Giorgio Moroder / Donna Summer / mid-80s synth-pop · 1979

    112bpm 16th-note arpeggio in A minor over a 909 four-on-the-floor. The arp walks A → C → E → G → A → E → G → C across the bar. tape on for cohesion. swap moog→hookeclav or hookelead via the override panel to hear the actual grandmother play it.

  3. 03
    chicago house · Frankie Knuckles + Jamie Principle · 1986

    the foundation — chicago 4×4 909 only, no bass, no chords. learn to sit the kick at 122 first. plate on for the room.

  4. 04
    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.
