Half-time / double-time partners
UK Garage'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 132 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.
