How to play it and where it comes from
Nu-disco (Todd Terje, Purple Disco Machine, Breakbot) at 110–125: disco remade with machines and synths. Kick on the quarter notes, clap on 2 and 4, open hat on the offbeat, sixteenth-note shaker with light swing (10), occasional congas and cowbell. Octave synth bass, funk guitars. Variants: softer kick and slap bass, French house-style filters, TR-707 percussion.
