Electro BPM Reference

| Genre | BPM Range | Typical BPM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electro | 110-135 | 128 | True electro: the funky, robotic style descended from Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambaataa. Built on TR-808 syncopation rather than four-on-the-floor. Distinct from 'electro house'. |
| Skweee | 80-110 | 95 | Slow-tempo Scandinavian electro-funk on cheap synths. Daniel Savio, Eero Johannes, Flogsta Danshall: the Flogsta scene's signature sound. |
| Electrofunk | 110-130 | 120 | Early-80s funk-electro hybrid. Talking-box vocals, P-funk DNA, and 808 bass. Zapp, Egyptian Lover, World Class Wreckin' Cru. |
| Electroclash | 118-130 | 124 | Early-2000s NY/Berlin retro-electro fusion with new wave vocals and analog synths. Fischerspooner, Miss Kittin, Peaches, Tiga, Vitalic. |
| Detroit Electro | 120-135 | 128 | Sci-fi, aquatic, futurist electro from Drexciya, Aux 88, Anthony Shake Shakir. Underground Resistance/Direct Beat label sound. |
| Miami Bass | 120-145 | 130 | Sub-bass-heavy 80s/90s Florida electro. 2 Live Crew, DJ Magic Mike, Luke. Booty-shake party music with massive 808 sub-bass. |
| Baile Funk | 130-150 | 140 | Funk carioca: Rio de Janeiro's hip-hop-inflected club music descended from Miami bass. Anitta, MC Kevin O Chris, DJ Polyvox. The modern '150 BPM' generation pushed the older 130 BPM standard up. |
| Kuduro | 130-150 | 140 | High-energy Angolan dance music fusing semba, zouk and techno. Buraka Som Sistema, Dog Murras, Tony Amado. Don Omar's 'Danza Kuduro' was the genre's mainstream crossover. |

|---|---|---|
| 130-150 BPM | Core Baile Funk DJ range | Beatmatch normally, then check phrasing around intros, breaks, and drops. |
| 65-75 BPM | Halftime interpretation of the core range | Double the grid if 8-bar loops or cue points feel too slow. |
| 140 BPM | Practical target for crate filtering | Use as a starting point, then sort by energy, key, and arrangement. |
| < 130 BPM | Slower adjacent or bridge records | Treat as tempo bridges unless the grid doubles cleanly into the core range. |
| > 150 BPM | Faster outliers or double-time readings | Check whether the track behaves better as halftime before using it as a fast transition. |
