1992 Trance
When creating this Trance style, I wanted to make room for catchy
melodies, so the drumming is easy and not supposed to take too
much room in a mix. Now, if you still think the drums occupy too much
sonic space, tweak the knobs until your melodies become the main el-
ement again.

1993 Modern Soul
Straight and very well suited for slow pop and soul ballads. Modern
Soul contains a hybrid of analog, processed sounds and electronic
sounds.

1994 Trip-Hop
This is a trip to the darker side of Trip-Hop. Picture yourself in a spooky
attic late at night, on your knees looking for an old photo album in a
worn chest. Suddenly the room comes to life, the floor squeaks and
wooden toys start playing in a slow, rhythmic groove. What next? Get
into the groove or run for your life!

1995 Busy Beat
A lot of 16th notes coming at you in this one, especially at the higher
complexity levels. Busy Beat is a kind of modern funk style with plenty
of ghost notes on the snare drum. I've been inspired by the groove
from the Spin Doctors’ hit “Two Princes” as well as Candy Dulfer’s
song “Funkyness”. If you listen carefully, the sources of inspiration
should be obvious. Programming was made at 104 Bpm.

1996 Drum’n’Bass
This style combines the use of high speed beats with a natural half
tempo feel, resulting in a playful rhythmic ballet. Thunderdome sub
basses push the speaker limits, while frantic high pitched sounds
keep the flow going.
