  1. 01
    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.

  2. 02
    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.

  3. 03
    berlin school / cosmic · Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream · 1975

    100bpm 8th-note hypnotic sequence through the modular pulse-pad program in C minor. Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream / late-70s Berlin school DNA. delay + plate on by default — the FX are half the genre.

  4. 04
    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.
