sharp drumbeats


Explanation:
I imaginge verwinkelt / Winkel having "sharp something (...edges)"

... EBM. So, there's loads of synths, sharp drumbeats and somewhat droning
male vocals. That's really all there is to say. Neuroticfish ...

neutral  Anglo-German (X): Hm ... my association is a bit different. Verwinkelt is not the same as "scharfwinkelig", or is it?

Explanation:
For what it is worth ... there is already a translation on the web

Sample-like guitar motifs, Fender Rhodes landscapes, deep basses, brass-hooklines, breaking drumbeats, and a white soul voice are typical elements of TripSoul.

tricky


Explanation:
Ich (selbst Computermusiker) würde "verwinkelt" als "komplex", "abwechslungsreich", "vertrackt" auffassen. Mir persönlich hätte "dodgy drumbeats" gut gefallen, wegen Slang, Alliteration und guter Semantik, aber dafür habe ich keine Referenz gefunden. Also besser "tricky drumbeats".
