128 BPM Songs Grouped by Key for DJs and Mashups

How this list was checked

Every tempo and key below is the one given in the song’s Wikipedia article, which in most cases cites the published sheet music (Musicnotes editions from the songs’ publishers). For “Clarity” and “Don’t You Worry Child”, the article cites the track’s Beatport listing instead. We checked each one on November 5, 2026, and left out songs whose key we could not confirm from a published source. That is why some obvious 128 BPM hits, such as “Animals” and “Feel So Close”, are missing.

Sheet music gives a notated tempo. A recording can sit a fraction of a BPM away, and radio edits and extended mixes can differ. Tap along with the exact version you own before you line it up.

Songs at 128 BPM, grouped by Camelot number

Songs that share a Camelot number are in the same key or its relative major or minor, so their chords overlap. Every song here is at 128 BPM, so no tempo change is needed inside a group.

Camelot 5A: C minor

Three songs in the same key, so this is the strongest group for a full overlay.

Song	Key	Camelot
Calvin Harris ft. John Newman — Blame	C minor	5A
Rihanna — Where Have You Been	C minor	5A
David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj — Turn Me On	C minor	5A

Camelot 2: E-flat minor and G-flat major

Two songs in E-flat minor plus their relative major, so all three share the same notes.

Song	Key	Camelot
Flo Rida ft. T-Pain — Low	E-flat minor	2A
Rihanna — S&M	E-flat minor	2A
Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris — We Found Love	G-flat major	2B

Camelot 10: B minor and D major

Song	Key	Camelot
Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera — Moves like Jagger	B minor	10A
David Guetta ft. Usher — Without You	D major	10B
Swedish House Mafia ft. John Martin — Don’t You Worry Child	D major	10B

Neighbours to try with the groups above

Each is one step around the wheel from a group, which is the next safest move after the same number.

Song	Key	Camelot
Walk the Moon — Shut Up and Dance	D-flat major (next to 2B)	3B
Zedd ft. Foxes — Clarity	A-flat major (next to 3B)	4B
Calvin Harris — Summer	G major (next to 10B)	9B
Avicii — Waiting for Love	F-sharp minor (next to 10A)	11A

Why so much dance music is at 128 BPM

128 BPM became the default tempo for a lot of house, electro and the EDM-pop crossover of the early 2010s, which is why nearly every song in this list comes from that era. Because so many tracks share the tempo, DJs can move between them without touching the pitch fader, and the songs keep their original key.

The numbers are handy too. At 128 BPM a beat lasts 468.75 milliseconds, a 4/4 bar lasts 1.875 seconds and an eight-bar phrase lasts 15 seconds. A 32-bar intro, a common length in club edits, runs for exactly one minute.

How to use the groups

Inside a group, the songs share a key or a relative major and minor, so a vocal from one can usually sit over the instrumental of another. The C minor group is the obvious place to start: “Blame”, “Where Have You Been” and “Turn Me On” are all at 128 BPM in the same key, so you only have to line up the phrases.

Between groups, move one step around the wheel, for example from 2B to 3B. The songs in the last group are listed with the neighbour they fit. Matching keys narrows the options, but the chords in the exact sections you choose decide whether two parts work, so loop eight bars of each and listen for clashes.

Getting more out of a 128 BPM set

Songs a few BPM away can join the list with a small tempo change. A 124 BPM track sped up to 128 is about 3% faster, which most listeners won’t notice, but without key lock it also raises the pitch by about half a semitone. The harmonic mixing guide explains how tempo changes move the key.

A 128 BPM track also counts as 64 BPM at half time, so a slow ballad around 64 BPM can sometimes sit under a 128 BPM beat. Our half time vs double time guide explains how to test that.
