Staff picks
86 BPM is a laid-back tempo for lofi, slow hip-hop and downtempo. It feels a touch more awake than 80, but it is still a groove you can listen to for hours.
What 86 BPM tracks suit
- study and work-with-me streams;
- slow travel edits and drone shots;
- cozy game streams and calm gameplay;
- interviews and talking-head videos.
Easy listening at 86 BPM
The tempo is slower than walking pace, so it never pushes the viewer. Soft drums, warm bass and a simple chord loop are usually enough, and small changes every few bars keep a long track from feeling repetitive. Because the groove is so even, it is easy to loop for long streams, and fade points are simple to find at the end of any bar.
