Since BPM®’s first issue in 1996, the magazine has always considered the wider world through the lens of electronic music by extending it to culture, style, design, and lifestyle.
Electronic music was built on the radical act of sharing something the room had never heard. A time when labels and clubs shaped an artistic direction, and a DJ's authority wasn't borrowed from an algorithm but earned in real time, track by track, on a dancefloor full of strangers becoming something else entirely. This paradigm is worth protecting.
Over the years, BPM® has evolved with the times, coming to encompass a wider world of culture, entertainment, lifestyle, social issues and the arts, dedicating itself to a celebration of groundbreaking image-making, great journalism, and the discovery of new talent as today we tell the tales of the creative minds behind the icons.
This culture was built on inclusion long before it became a conversation. Race, gender, sexuality — none of it determined who belonged on the dancefloor. The music did. To this day, it remains the most radical idea electronic music ever produced, and the standard against which it should still be measured. BPM® is viewing the wider world through the lens of electronic music, wields unparalleled influence, and bears a commitment to values of inclusivity, creativity and community. Its ability to delight, inspire and inform its audience has never been stronger.
People come to BPM® to get inspired and stay for the thoughtful curations they won't find anywhere else. It's not a format, It's trust. We wouldn’t recommend anything that we wouldn’t obsessively use and hoard ourselves. What we choose to surface across our editorial line, is how we nurture this trust, from the music in our playlists to the artists stories and products we recommend. We bring subject-matter expertise and a nuanced perspective to all our content, considering everything from personal style preferences to lifestyles, and price points.
