140 bpm?

bang the decks with your hands then you will achieve the avant-garde, super-quantized, triplet-melting shuffle that you've been looking for

so the only way to speed or slow it down keeping it the same pitch it to do it on the computer? you would have to plan out your set i think befor you start djing.

imho tempo cults are stupid

Why do so many producers make there tracks at exactly 140bpm?

This makes it way to easy for people to mix, and subsequently drawing the wrong type of people toward mixing dubstep.

Thoughts?

that's a ridiculous rationale.
I humbly admit that I'm not a very skilled DJ, but when I'm bedroom mixing, it makes life easy when I'm playing around with some DFRNT, whose tracks are usually bang on 140. I like variety with bpm too, it helps me build my brain muscles, but i've never felt the urge to complain about consistant tempos. if i really wanted to switch up the tempos, well i'd bloody well do it.
but back to your statement... "wrong type of people"? fuck, what kind of thread do you expect is going to congeal around a statement like that?
