What BPM range do downloadable hardtek tracks cover?

Hardtek typically runs between 150 and 180 BPM. Our selection also includes faster productions in acidcore or tribe styles that can reach 200 BPM, plus slower tracks around 145 to 155 BPM for early-night sets.

How does hardtek differ from hard techno?

Hardtek comes from the free party and sound system scene, with big bass kicks and acid or mental influences. Hard techno keeps classic techno structures with very prominent kicks and a steadier tempo around 140 to 160 BPM. The two scenes overlap but each has its own identity.

How do I load hardtek tracks onto CDJs, DJ controllers or DJ software?

WAV is read natively by Rekordbox (Pioneer CDJ-3000 and DDJ controllers like the DDJ-FLX4, FLX6 or 1000), Serato DJ Pro (Pioneer DDJ, Denon Prime 4, Numark Mixstream Pro) and Traktor Pro (Native Instruments Kontrol S2, S3, S4). Drag the file into your library, analyse beatgrid and set your cue points, then export to a FAT32 or exFAT USB stick for the CDJs. No re-encoding required, the file plays as is.
