120 BPM Dubstep (and how it might help being productive)

Post by Dubstinct » Fri Oct 29, 2010 8:02 am

I've been reading about how 60 bmp music is meant to have some magical effect on your brain if you listen to it while studying or working. I think I've noticed this effect and since everything I listen to is dubstep or has some dubstep influence I'm after tracks that slow to the 60/120 bpm range.

I know a few dubstep producers make these tracks. For example:
  • Burial - Endorphin
  • Shakleton - The Rope Tightens
  • Egoless - Bluestep
Know any more tracks? Or has anyone here looked into this? Maybe I should move this to general discussion. Thanks for reading.

:o

Off the top of my head, 'Machines & Ghosts', and 'Cryovokano', from Jahtarian Dubbers Vol .

Kaly Live Dub 'Cluster', and not just 'The Rope Tightens', there are another 5 tracks on Soundboy's Gravestone that are 120.

Maybe check out some drag i.e Salem. Dunno if you'd call it dubstep though. There's a thread 'Juke vs Drag' in the Discussion forum.

And Bluestep is around 90 bpm.

i wouldn't call it 120 dubstep, just in the same way i don't like the term 140 jungle
i'd say a lot of it falls more under minimal/house or experimental

i've heard so many theories about how the tempo of certain music resonates with your heart/brain in particular ways in so many different scenes.

i reckon it's all psychosomatic, if a track resonates with you it's because it's good and you like it, sure you could find lots of examples of music at that tempo that have zero or the complete opposite effect on you.

a lot of 70's disco is at 120. it's a nice groovy tempo. might be my favorite to dance to. 60 bpm, hmmmm, i wonder if there's any reggae or dub that got down that slow.
