Is new beat still OK?
The genre was “accidentally invented” in the nightclub Ancienne Belgique (AB) in Antwerp when DJ Dikke Ronny (literally “Fat Ronny”) played the 45 rpm EBM record “Flesh” by A Split-Second at 33 rpm, with the pitch control set to +8.

Who defines the BPM? You might say the song is in 4/4 at 120 BPM, but I say it’s 3/4 at 90 BPM and you’re just misunderstanding the phrasing.
