    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.

  2. 02
    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.

  3. 03
    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.

  4. 04
    detroit techno · Model 500 / Juan Atkins · 1985

    909 4×4 at 130 with a moog string-stab figure walking i-VI-III-VII in C minor. juan atkins / model 500 / underground resistance dna. plate on for the warehouse.
