Schaffel (the German spelling to match the English pronunciation of "shuffle") is a fusion style of techno and rock in which minimal techno's straight-up drum kick is shuffled to offbeat emphasis. [1] Often triplet eighths are used to create swinging rhythms.
Originating from swing and R&B roots, the beat was popularized by glam rock performers like T. Rex with their 1971 hit "Hot Love" and Gary Glitter in his 1972 hit "Rock and Roll Part 2". [1]
The schaffel beat has remained in use in electronic music genres and can be found in such releases as "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode. [1]
Michael Mayer's label Kompakt has put out a series of compilations titled Schaffelfieber ("Schaffel Fever"). [2]
A rave is a dance party at a warehouse, club, or other public or private venue, typically featuring performances by DJs playing electronic dance music. The style is most associated with the early 1990s dance music scene when DJs played at illegal events in musical styles dominated by electronic dance music from a wide range of sub-genres, including drum and bass, dubstep, trap, break, happy hardcore, techno, hardcore, house, and alternative dance. Occasionally live musicians have been known to perform at raves, in addition to other types of performance artists such as go-go dancers and fire dancers. The music is amplified with a large, powerful sound reinforcement system, typically with large subwoofers to produce a deep bass sound. The music is often accompanied by laser light shows, projected coloured images, visual effects and fog machines.
