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.

808 · sexual healing ballad95 bpm
quiet storm / 808 r&b · Marvin Gaye · 1982
Marvin Gaye 1982 template — soft 808 kicks on 1 and 3, claps on 2/4, cymbal swell on the 1 of every bar, sparse offbeat hat. The 808 R&B ballad blueprint — every quiet storm record from 1983 onward learned from this beat. Plate on for the room.

chicago acid house · Phuture · 1987
chicago 4×4 909 floor under a moog acid-bass riff in A minor. tape on for warmth, delay off — keep the 303 dry like the original.
