Okay, just double the bpm and half note increments.
Same song, new bpm!
Swisha house is the group that originated it, dj screw is the dj, and people call it screw music
DJ Screw, creator of the chopped and screwed style of music. But his name is so synonymous and his name is half the genre's name.
200 BPM is 100 BPM if you think about the music differently, Chechnyans just want to see 64th notes everywhere because more notes is more better obviously
adding a tribute to 4'33" to all my songs to get the average BPM down
Giving every slow song a Nightcore remix final chorus to snag the average BPM up a bit
I gotta be honest, I'm thinking it's fake news akin to "Kim Jong Un Haircut Law". I can't find any non-english sources about it. I can't find the article TASS reportedly posted about it either. I can't find Dadayev speaking about it anywhere but in these english articles.It should be noted that I am completely shit at doing this kind of digging and I do not speak any slavic language nor do I read kyrilic, so me not finding things doesn't mean a lot
edit: it's legit
It seems to be legit actually, I found this article by gazeta.ru, which Wikipedia classifies as Russian state-controlled media claiming the same thing. In the article is this quote:
This was reported by the Grozny-Inform portal with reference to the Minister of Culture of Chechnya Musa Dadaev.
If someone here actually speaks Russian feel free to correct me though.
First quotation:
“Today, under the leadership of Musa Dadaev, an extended meeting was held with the leaders of creative state and municipal groups of the Chechen Republic, during which he announced the final decision, agreed with the Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, that from now on all musical, vocal and choreographic works must correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute,” said the Ministry of Culture of the Chechen Republic.
I think this is going to apply to theaters, musicians, etc.
So is this a flat ban or a "stop booking robot noises at the national theatre" ban?
After the quote there's "huge work is ongoing on the question of Chechen musical, choreographical and other works matching Chechen mentality and musical rhytm", so it is probably the latter.

Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quickSometimes I rhyme at the right speed, sometimes I rhyme at the right speed
As someone who primarily listens to music in the 120-140bpm range, I am now a chechnya hater
I was gonna say 120 bpm is so common in western music in general that you’re pretty much banning everything
How exactly do they plan on enforcing this...? Like, obviously, public performances like theater, yeah, music that can be heard by others, but what else if anything? Are they gonna ban useraudio.net and its likes? Force Spotify and YouTube Music to use some sort of BPM detector to find music to block?
(broad excuse to police public assemblies and venues). too fast and too slow is like a 'smelling weed' level excuse for pigs to do whatever they want
Every unit now has one drug-dog and one bpm-dj on leash. Some guy named Miklosh will be pulled out of his cage whenever they need to determine BPM.
Reject LaRouchite pitch obsession, embrace Chechnyan tempo obsession
