What Mixes With House?

These genres share part of House's 120128 BPM lane, so they beat-match without touching the pitch fader:

Within pitch-stretch reach (~8%)

These lanes don't overlap House's, but the gap closes with a pitch move of up to ~8% — hard, but workable with key-locked pitch: Techno, Trance, Dubstep, Afrobeats, Trap.

Half-time / double-time partners

House's pulse lines up with these lanes at half or double the displayed BPM — the kicks lock even though the numbers differ: R&B. Drop the new track on a breakdown and let the half/double feel carry the switch.

Matching tempo is only half the mix — two tracks at 124 BPM can still clash if their keys fight. Check the interactive Camelot wheel for the key side, and see the full picture in the BPM-by-genre chart. Planning a set at this tempo? The set length calculator tells you how many tracks you'll need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What BPM is House?

House sits at 120–128 BPM in a DJ set, with most tracks around 124 BPM. Producers occasionally push outside that window, but 120–128 is the range you'll actually meet at a gig.

What genres mix with House?

Nu-Disco & Disco, Deep House, Tech House, Future House, Progressive House, Big Room & Electro House, Melodic House & Techno, Minimal & Deep Tech, Progressive Trance, UK Garage, Breakbeat, Funk & Soul and Pop all share part of House's 120–128 BPM lane, so they beat-match without touching the pitch. With a pitch adjustment of up to ~8% you can also reach Techno, Trance, Dubstep, Afrobeats and Trap. Tempo is only half the equation — check the keys too.

Can I play House faster or slower?

Yes, within limits. A pitch move of ~2% is inaudible, ~4% is comfortable, and ~8% is the practical ceiling before tracks start to sound stretched — that gives House a workable window of roughly 110–138 BPM. Key-locked pitch (master tempo) keeps the musical key stable while you do it.

Does the half-time / double-time trick work with House?

Yes — House's pulse at 124 BPM lines up with R&B played at half or double time. The kick patterns lock together even though the displayed BPMs differ, which makes it one of the cleanest ways to jump tempo lanes mid-set.
