Stylistic origins | Minimal techno, rock |

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]
