BPM Chart FAQ

What BPM is house music?

House music typically ranges from 120-130 BPM, with 124-128 BPM being the most common. Deep house tends to be slower (118-125 BPM) while tech house and electro house can be faster (126-132 BPM).

What BPM is hip hop?

Hip hop typically ranges from 85-115 BPM, with 90 BPM being very common for classic boom bap. Modern trap is often 130-170 BPM but feels like half that tempo due to the half-time drum pattern.

What BPM is drum and bass?

Drum and bass (DnB) typically ranges from 160-180 BPM, with 174 BPM being the most iconic tempo. Liquid DnB tends to be around 170 BPM while jump-up and neurofunk can be up to 180 BPM.

Can I mix songs with different BPMs?

Yes, but it requires tempo adjustment. Most DJ software can sync tracks within +/- 6% without noticeable pitch change. For larger differences, use transitions, breakdowns, or creative mixing techniques.
