I'd like to present an alternative theory: That the sequence is based on a reggae rhythm that has been remixed as synth pop. Example:
Bob Marley & The Wailers - "Love Light" (1970):
Sugar Minott - "Ready Or Not" (1981):
Of course, blues could also be a possibility:
Little Sonny - The Creeper Returns (1969): (listen to the bass guitar)
Next week? We'll see.
Phil out.
