80bpm electric piano arpeggio walking i-VI-III-VII in C minor + a bell stab on the top of every bar. Whitney / Quincy Jones / patch-11 territory — the sound of every TV theme from 1984 to 1991. tape on for warmth, plate on for the room.

TR-606 · Sheffield industrial130 bpm
industrial / post-punk electronic · Cabaret Voltaire · 1983
Cabaret Voltaire 1983 template — TR-606 drums alone at 130bpm. Driving kicks on EVERY beat (mechanical four-on-the-floor, no swing), tight snares on 2/4, metallic hat on 8ths, cymbal washes on the 1 of every 2 bars. Drive + delay on for the proto-industrial Sheffield warehouse sound.

C64 SID · rob hubbard territory140 bpm
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.
