Techno — the Detroit-to-Berlin machine groove: kick on every quarter (four-on-floor), clap on 2 and 4 (backbeat), open hat on every and, closed hats filling the sixteenths. It is house's drum sentence played harder and drier, with the harmony stripped to one chord.
How it sits: the bass never touches the kick — it rolls on the and and a of every beat, a two-note gallop that fills the gap the kick leaves. The single minor-seventh stab repeats every six sixteenths (a dotted quarter), so it starts on the a of 1, drifts across the barline and only realigns when the two-bar loop restarts: the 3-against-4 tension is the hook.
Listen for how little changes; the groove lives in the kick-bass interlock, not in fills. A rim ghost on the last sixteenth is the only turnaround.
Practice: mute the drums and play just the stab against a click on the quarters until the drift feels like a pattern, not a mistake.
