Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 105

Tribal Techno
This style was programmed to fit the sound of modern techno. It has a
lot of my own personality in it. This is my tribute to the underground
techno culture. You may recognize some of the grooves. The name of
the style says a lot. Listen to those tribal grooves and you will under-
stand the name. DS
* Daft
Keep it fair and square. Simple and stupid. Keep it going. Keep it up.
Perhaps the bottle will distract you. Never mind. It's just a bottle. Keep
it safe. NE
** Grime
A few years ago pirate radio stations in London started broadcasting
a new and more aggressive form of Rap and 2-Step, influenced by
hardcore electronica. "Grime" was born. MC's often spit out their lyr-
ics double time over the beat accompanied by sparse breaks and fu-
turistic bleeps and growls. This style is also referred to as Eskibeat,
Sublow or 8bar and only recently it left the realms of the underground
to face mainstream success. Be part of it – and why not add some
distortion... NE
** Jungle
In the beginning there were drummers. Some of them played pretty
fast. But not fast enough. So then there were DJs, pitching up and ed-
iting funky drum loops to make the beats really fast and complex, call-
ing it "Jungle". "What the heck", said the drummers and actually
started to play those crazy high speed loops live. That takes some
heavy exercising. Or – it takes a Groove Agent. NE
