What I ended up doing and I think to my own satisfaction, was i just listened on YT a -little- and then held myself to quantization and to Synth/SEQ things in the Roland FA-08 that sounded like simplistic enough synth tones that they would be on a 90's Nintendo console into early 00's
It's the first time since the late 220's in my releases (I am now in the 540's) that i took a manual performance and just Quantized it to 16th notes and trusted the Universe that it would build a cool Latin beat. And it seems to be of equal depth to that one.
