Simple drum pattern, no 16th hats or rides, hits hard.

there was a good documentary about footwork producers (who are all dancers), who are very tapped into how different rhythms make their body move, and when they write rhythms, it’s a very intentional communion of sound and dance. i feel like shifting more in that direction is always the move imo

Do you recall the name of it? I love documentaries based around people good at their field that don’t talk down to the audience, especially inspiration from creative fields.

Shuffle between 56 and 59.

Edit: wrong thread. I thought we were talking House. Stifle
Shuffle at 50 (0%)

In my opinion, techno can be whatever you want it to be and the classic four to the floor drum pattern is always a good foundation to start with.

Having said that, when I “hear techno”, I hear syncopation, repetition, groove, and intentionally experimental sound design.

Also, I feel like it’s about the approach. Using your gear the way it’s NOT meant to be used. More jams and fewer arrangements.

It’s a mindset and approach less than an actual technique

Just my 2 cents

TBPH I would not be able to tell the difference

pretty sure it was this one - dj manny especially, but they’re all great dancers
