01
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.

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.

boom-bap · sp-1200 kit92 bpm
golden era hip-hop · Pete Rock / DJ Premier era · 1993
the foundational hip-hop pocket through the SP-1200's bit-crusher. kick laid back, snare on 2/4. tape on for the grit.
