DJ E-Lectric,
Can you please tell me more about this theory? It makes sense to me and I would like to read more about it.
Thanks,

This has always been a cornerstone of the programming I teach newbie Djs I work with, that the best beat ranges for the prime hours of the night are 97-105 and 128-132. The former closely matching the average heart rate of humans and the letter matching a brainwave that helps trigger the same "pleasure" center of the brain as cocaine and chocolate do.
Probably not a coinsidence that the songs with the best dance response and the "anthems" that last as timeless seem to be grouped in or near these bpm ranges.
There have also been many studies showing bpm ranges of 70-80 showing strong corolations to the "anger" centers of our brain and the slowing of heart rates producing aggrevated levels of tension.
Probably not a coinsidence that most rap and hard rock songs get so much blame for causing fights and inciting the "wrong" behavior....it probably is not the lyrics the censorists would have you believe, but rather it is the pysiological changes produced in peoples brain and heart chemistry that insights the feelings of tension and rage. |
