    My sweet spot is about 110 most of the time, I generally try to avoid the higher BPMs like 140, it kills the downtempo EDM/HIp Hop vibe I have going.

    I can't tell. I used to make electronic music, not just EDM. Now Im making Hip Hop for like 4 months and still experiment.

    when i first started it was mostly strictly EDM so around 140-130ish, now that it's transitioned over, I need to keep it way lower than I use to. too much BPM and hip hop drum patterns/vibes don't set too well with things. also feel like it hits heavier on a downtempo scale with the elements of dubstep thrown in my songs, since you usually go half time on those drops anyways

    I started producing from dubstep and then switched to progressive house, 128 mainly.

    I originally wanted to just do dubstep or house but it never quite worked out for me, so I ended up just taking elements from both and merging them together with hip hop. Sort of always aspired to do stuff like Zeds Dead, Bassnectar, Nero etc.

    70-80 because most of the samples I chop reside around there. Plus I like to slow them down a bit.
