150 BPM Club Tracks Playlist
Bridging the 140-160 BPM gap one track at a time: DJ Booga selects 150 BPM club tracks.
Here's Sam Binga in 2024 on why he is excited about the 150 bpm range for club tracks:
"Dunno about you but I feel like for a long time there's a bit of a gap between 140 bpm and 160 bpm. At 140 you had grime and garage and dubstep, at 130 you had UK funky and in between you had Bmore and stuff like that. And then at 160 you know we had the footwork explosion which got everyone excited about that again but like round about the 150 bpm range in between those two 140 and 160 it felt like a dead zone for a while but recently I've been really enjoying finding and releasing tunes that fit in that gap.
Hard agree. My own 150 bpm tracks folder has playlists called 'electro tech', 'breaks' and 'serotonin' - just naming things like a normal person. I felt compelled to mixing the new with the tried and tested across a wide range of styles but within that tempo range. To help discover the 'unexplored territory' I started a playlist to bridge the breaks-grime-dubstep-bmore-electro zone with the footwork-juke-jungle zone and have some fun at 150 bpm.
I maintain the 150 BPM playlist on Apple Music simply because it's easy to do.
If you like to see a track in the 150 playlist send me an email and I may add it to the list.
PS: Beginning 2026 I started a new playlist project, adding a personal crucial track everyday with small bits of context. Take a look, have a listen:
