'''Schaffel''' (the German spelling to match the English pronunciation of "shuffle") is a fusion style of [[techno]] and [[Rock music|rock]] in which [[minimal techno]]'s straight-up drum kick is shuffled to [[Off-beat (music)|offbeat]] emphasis.<ref name="Turenne">{{cite web |first1=Martin |last1=Turenne |date=January 1, 2006 |title=Schaffel Beat Resuscitates Techno |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/schaffel_beat_resuscitates_techno |work=[[Exclaim!]] }}</ref> Often [[tuplet|triplet eighths]] are used to create [[Swing (jazz performance style)|swinging]] rhythms<!--hard shuffle uses a dotted eighth and sixteenth note, not triplets-->.
==History==
Originating from swing and [[rhythm and blues|R&B]] roots, the beat was popularized by [[glam rock]] performers like [[T. Rex (band)|T. Rex]] with their 1971 hit "[[Hot Love (T. Rex song)|Hot Love]]" and [[Gary Glitter]] in his 1972 hit "[[Rock and Roll Part 2]]".<ref name="Turenne" />
