beat-driven
Tempo is king
Beat-driven describes music or other audio where a strong, steady rhythm dominates and propels the sound forward.
The term emphasizes that the percussion or rhythmic pulse is the primary force shaping the composition, rather than melody or lyrics.
The club played beat-driven electronic music all night.
It applies especially to genres like techno, house, hip-hop, and dance music where the beat is designed to make listeners move.
