Hi NRG

As the name implies, Hi-NRG is a higher-BPM style of dance music that was very popular in
the 1980s, especially in gay nightclubs. It evolved from disco, preserving the four-on-
the-floor kick drum and emphasizing strong melodies and simple octave bass lines, but also
having a harder, more rock-like sound, with pop vocals and snare hits on the 2s and 4s.
In addition to the main beat, there was usually an accompanying second, a syncopated
"shuffle" rhythm, often made with a tambourine or similar high-pitched snare sound (or,
more often, an electronic variant thereof).
