Slower bpm = more time between beats, more space for mixing sounds, bigger sounds, deeper bass, longer waveforms, closer to heartbeat rate, wider audience, swing percussion sounds groovier...
What came to my mind. I don't think low bpm is better tho, just a little bit more versatile... if thats even the word. |

well, what is low BPM and what is high BPM? to me, anything above 150 is High BPM.
Everyone needs a balanced trance diet, there is good stuff in all ranges - even though I am not a fan of 'dark/twilight/speedcore/ThatStuff' usually, there is some stuff that is great fun to dance to.
However, I have NEVER *EVER* EVER EVER EVER seen a dancefloor sustain its population and energy if its exposed to 150+ BPM for more than a couple of hours.
I can dance to 145 for hours and hours without stopping for anything but water. Can't do the same with faster stuff. That's just me and my personal observation.
Also, I like to hear the timbre of the bass - 150+ compared to 145 and below I can barely hear it, its just a machine gun. Sometimes that's cool, but I can't take it for more than a couple of hours in the middle of the night.

He's probably referring to or got started on this by Cardinals Cartel in the workshop forum...

i kinda agree with that. if you go above ca. 150-155bpm with kbbb all the low freqs sort of melt into one deep hum with neither the kick nor the bass really having an impact.
i do know lots of hard hitting music at 180-200bpm, but those tracks all have kbkb or even k-k-k-. |

Its agreed that slower tempo allows longer wavelength...
But i would not dismiss faster tempo just because of this, 160 -170 bpm DnB can have a big impact, also you can make slow melodies ontop of fast beats and get a real nice groove..
i think variation is the key to everything, its all about balance....
i think 120 to 150bpm for psytrance is nice
sometimes a bit over 150 can be real nice, to let it it all out.... i even heard some aus psy in very high bpm and its very groovy and energetic
