Wonky downtempo at 88 BPM. The steps follow the MIDI grid in Attack Magazine's breakdown of a Los Angeles beat scene groove: a busy kick pattern where the kicks on beats 1 and 3 sit on the grid and most of the others land 1 to 7 µtime units late, the claps on 2 and 4 a few units early, the open hat on every beat and rigid 808 16ths. The claps are three layers a few milliseconds apart in the article, so they are one row here and the hardware notes give the flam. A clap on step 32 leads into the turnaround.
