Electronic music by tag and subgenre
The fastest tempo on 'Twenty One' sits in its very first cut: 'Next To Me' opens at 126 BPM and nothing that follows ever tops it. The real anomaly arrives in third position, when 'Quiere Party' —with Tokischa and...
To read this selection right, you need to know where it comes from: these are the track IDs Beatport pulled from CONTRA, the takeover Skrillex co-curated with Berlin Atonal at Berlin's Kraftwerk, with Tresor, Globus and OHM interconnected for...
One producer signs two cuts on this volume without repeating his name: Darren Tate turns up as Jurgen Vries on 'The Opera Song (Brave New World)' — where CMC was Charlotte Church, credited by initials because her label feared the press...
The warm-up writes itself: an Afro block at 120-122 BPM — 'Jamaican (Bam Bam)', 'Ma Tnsani (Yalla Habibi)', 'Mwaki' and Keinemusik's 'Move' with Camila Cabello — heats the floor without burning...
Def Jam on a festival chart: hip hop's foundational label signs the only cut tagged tech house here, and that is the best way into 'Festival Essentials 2026: Dance / Pop'. On 'I Rhyme Quick', Cloonee mounts the vocal from...
The label field on 'Game Time' by Future and Tyla doesn't read like a record company: it reads FIFA World Cup SalXCO. The same imprint signs 'Echo' by Daddy Yankee and Shenseea, and that detail unlocks the whole compilation:...
Eighty-nine beats per minute separate the extremes of this seventeenth volume: ACTYVA's remix of P4sc4l's 'The 5th Season' crawls along at 69 BPM while Noa Estrella's 'Mirame' rockets to 158. In between, most of...
Twenty-five cuts with only one name repeated in the credits, and a spread running from the 66 BPM of 'Fuego En La Pista' to the 140 of 'Il Dan (Interplay 529)': rarely does a tracklist describe the nature of its label this...
'WAREHOUSE SWEAT' doesn't ask for permission: CRUNCHY CA$HEW opens at 140 BPM in E minor, four minutes of warehouse sweat that set the bar before anything else plays. Right after comes the journey's first real landmark: Frankie...
One detail reshuffles how you read this WMB compilation: four of its thirty cuts come from the same man. Florence's Giacomo Bisciarri — whose Deezer profile confirms that Bsharry, Mutehead and Jaques Le Noir are one and the same — appears under...
The mission begins before the peak The detail that organises Mission Underground appears at the start: Paul Oakenfold’s “Continuous DJ Mix” runs for 56:04 at 130 BPM in A minor. It is more than a prologue; it establishes a continuous frame before...
Ninety-four BPM separate the slowest and fastest points of this selection: 'Copenhagen Crooner' by Whodamanny and Boogie Rookie purrs along at 66 out of the Music For Dreams catalogue, while 'Midnight' by Fiorious and Alex Virgo...
Perry Farrell on a dance-pop chart. The Jane's Addiction frontman shows up eight tracks into this closing selection, and that crossover alone earns 'Sundance' (5:03, 126 BPM, A-flat major) a closer look: his collaboration with Victor...
Between track 1 and track 51 sits an 87 BPM chasm. 'Serendipity', Armin van Buuren's collaboration with Andrew Bayer, is listed at 68; 'Bounce Ritual', 'Batida Viva' and 'Vem Comigo' hit the ceiling at...
Three of the fifteen cuts carry AMINTO's name, which makes this volume his home turf: he signs 'No Excuses' on his own and hands two more tracks over to outside remixers. Those two remixes are the best clue to which names hold this...
