Speed Control: How BPM Shapes the Sound

Groove Theory Project by Groove Theory Project

Episode notes

In episode 4 of Groove Theory Project, hosts Arniesha and Neijah Lanae get into the rhythm of it all—literally. We're talking BPM (beats per minute) and how this seemingly simple number plays a massive role in shaping music genres, DJ sets, and listener experiences. From the adrenaline rush of fast-paced tracks to the sway of slow jams, we explore how tempo influences everything from dancefloor energy to songwriting choices. Whether you're a music lover, DJ, or artist, this tempo talk will give you a deeper appreciation for the heartbeat of every track.

This episode's Let Me Put You On picks are the songs And1 by Athletic Progression and This Body by JELISA.
