TiK ToK - Ke$ha



tempo: 120 bpm

bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm120 to 125 bpm

the DJ’s take: Doesn't this almost sound like a Saturday Night Live parody of 2010-era electro-pop? But somehow it was real. And everyone loved it. Your crowd probably still does - worth spinning at a wedding or during the throwback portion of a Top 40 set.

If you're staying key-compatible, here are some songs to mix / mash up with between 115 and 120 bpm:

1999 - Prince
Love To Lay - The Weeknd
Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson
I Don't Like It, I Love It - Flo Rida
Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson
All My Love (Remix) - Major Lazer
Motown Philly - Boyz II Men
Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars

And from 120 to 125 bpm:

Let Me Love You - Ne-Yo
New Romantics - Taylor Swift
Book of Love - Felix Jaehn

Lucky You - Eminem ft. Joyner Lucas

tempo: 76-77 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: I was wondering why the phrase 'Lucky You' sounded familiar... then remembered my Lucky Brand jeans say this behind the zipper: So let's say you're on a date. Things are going well, relations commence, and your companion sees that message. Cute? Or a mood killer? Either way, that's a lot of bravado to live up to. Brings to mind Brick Tamland in Anchorman: As for the track, try mixing with: Bam - Jay-Z ft. Damian Marley PIE - Future ft. Chris Brown Stitches - Shawn Mendes download or stream Lucky You: amazon itunes

Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Song #9 in episode #65 of our mix show (22:29): Cool transition out of Scarface's Guess Who's Back ; loop that properly and you've got an interesting potential beat / mashup. And then we slide into T-Pain and Kehlani's I Like Dat to slow down the pace and take us into the home stretch. A must-spin for any pop dj - serves up a burst of bouncy energy for the youth who've been cooped up for awhile now.
