Which genre runs at which tempo?
A visual spectrum of all the common genres from 60 to 180 BPM. Enter a BPM to see which genres you're in — or click a genre for the full details.
What you learn with it
Knowing genre boundaries and transitions. DJs who know genre BPM ranges by heart make better playlist decisions and mix more fluidly.
How to use the tool
Type a BPM into the search field — matching genres appear immediately
Click a genre bar for its characteristics, typical artists and exact BPM boundaries
The spectrum runs from 60 (R&B/soul) to 180 BPM (drum & bass)
Overlapping bars show genres that exist in the same BPM range
Tech house (126–132 BPM) overlaps with house (120–130 BPM) — which makes genre transitions in that range especially smooth.
