Schaffel

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.

History[edit]

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]
