    uk acid house · A Guy Called Gerald · 1988

    A Guy Called Gerald 1988 UK acid house template — TR-707 4-on-the-floor at 122bpm + Moog acid bass in A minor. Brighter pop-machine kick + cowbell ping on every offbeat + claps on 2/4. Tape on for warmth, plate on for the rave room.

    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.

    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.

    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.
