BPM: Blend in the overlap

The shared range is tight (122–125 BPM). Choose your transition tracks from this zone and blend during a breakdown for the cleanest result.

Similar bass weight and brightness across both genres — a standard bass swap works cleanly. Swap the lows over 4 bars and let the mids and highs blend naturally.
