RE: House And Garage Patterns

Yeah, I know...but I was tired and cranky. It's just that I've been listening to a few REALLY GOOD mixtapes that I picked of from a few parties.
This Chicago DJ - (Traxx) - spins this bomb-ass shit...it's what I would call garage/rare groove type shit. It's all piano/bass/lyric based and its got these women who can fucking sing. A year ago I would have abhorred that shit but...
I think his shit is heavily sampled based from this whole world of "old school disco/funk" of which I am totally too young to understand. I think that they are sampled because it just sounds a lot less clean than the stuff on that web site, which is good to me..it adds a lo-budget credibility factor.
Anyway...

Yeah, you gotta throw things off a little if you want real house. Using triplets also adds authenticity (not playing all three, but say, moving the last 16th note of each beat to the3rd triplet right after it - on 96 ppq it's clock 80 instead of 72).
But, I usually just go with computer accuracy and make death-disco (<-that's supposed to be funny...umm..I guess)
