Every tempo from 60 to 200 BPM

Each tempo has its own page with the numbers you need while producing or mixing: milliseconds per beat and bar, delay and reverb times, Hz, the genres that use it, and a metronome set to that tempo.

Slow tempos: 60 to 89 BPM

Ballads, ambient, downtempo, reggae, dub and much hip-hop live here. Many of these tempos are also counted at double-time, so 87 BPM hip-hop and 174 BPM drum and bass share the same grid.

Mid tempos: 90 to 117 BPM

Reggaeton, a lot of pop, slower disco and nu-disco, and warm-up sets. These tempos are comfortable to dance to without the push of the club range.

Club tempos: 118 to 135 BPM

The core range for house, disco edits, tech house, most techno and trance. Small differences matter here: 2 BPM is roughly a 1.6 % pitch change.

Up-tempo: 136 to 159 BPM

Faster techno and trance, dubstep around 140 (felt at half-time), and hardstyle near 150.

Fast tempos: 160 to 200 BPM

Drum and bass, jungle, footwork and hardcore. Most of these are felt at half-time, so a detector may report 85 instead of 170.
