That's pretty much it..

BPM

I don't know what the big deal is to changing the bpm. I usually start around 140 and end up around 146 or so. It's not that much of a difference speeding up each track .1 to .2 percent a track. No one notices and you end up with a set that is much more intense at the end..not because of the particular music (though that should definitely play a role) but because you have increased the beat! A little goes a long way. Listen to a track at 140 then the same at 145...see which gets you more pumped up.

I've tried prog at 140.. it's listenable, and better yet, even a little danceable!

i gradually start at 136 and by the end of the night get to 145bpm (around 5 hours).. anything faster and ppl will die..

Its just the whole part of people not noticing what it is that makes them dance harder.. and thats the bpm gradually going up.. if you analyse tiesto or PvD's sets, their sets go along the lines of these...
