+notes: |
+  Dub is the reggae-sound-system source aesthetic that dub-techno and
+  dubstep both borrow from. At tempos 70-90 BPM with one-drop rhythm,
+  it's distinguishable from dub-techno (120-130 BPM, 4/4 kick). A
+  user referencing "dub" likely wants one-drop drums + heavy sub +
+  long send chain. Use dub-techno packet for the 4/4 techno-derived
+  variant; use this packet for the original Jamaican-lineage aesthetic.

+  Footwork demands 160 BPM first — always set tempo before any

+  for 3:2 feels. "Juke" (the original Chicago style) and "footwork"
