A friend at work is recovering from breast cancer.
She is a runner and listens to Paul van Dyk to pace her running.
I borrowed 'In Between' from the local library and if I'm counting correctly while driving to/from work, it seems like about 130-140 BPM is where this entire album sits.
I think I'm going to make some custom tracks for her - basically trying my hand at this flavor of tarnce - it will be a stretch for me.
Is that right for BPM? Is there anyplace where I could find a list of BPM for his tracks?
Paul van Dyk BPMs - always between 130-140?

I think 140 is a nice bpm for euphoric trance music. 144 is a nice bpm for goa. Then you have hard trance around 150. There are several, "trance," tracks at 160, and 165.
PVD probably stays around 132 - 138. While he may have some stuff as fast as 140, and some as slow as 130. If you counted with a metronome, imho, most of his tracks are about 136.

Hi, rockstar_not
I hope your friend is doing well. I read over the past summer in an article with
Armin Van Buuren, who said something to the notion that and I paraphrase, but about 130 to 140 is where the audience is gravitating towards as far as beats go for Trance sets. I think if you can download any pod cast from him or Above and Beyond's, Trance Around the World, you should have set's that stay within 130 and 140 bms and your friend can enjoy I more varied selection of tracks.
Also, if she is working out at home, she can listen to Digitally Imported Trance sets online, where I believe the beats stay in between 130-140 for the most part.

I think armpit van buuren, and the like, are only talking about one concept of trance. The popular, bubble gum, mainstream stuff.
But I think overall, you are looking at tempos that can get as high as 165, depending on country/party.

it was faster 10 years ago but has slowed down alot later years.
paul van dyk tracks are around 134-138bpm.
i think it will slower down even more as most new tracks are in 132-135bpm range now. (talking in general trance)
of course we have those hard trance/hardstyle genres but that's just wrong style
