Beautiful - Alex Gaudino ft. Mario



Speed: 128 bpm

 The DJ's Take: Am I somewhat effeminate for liking this? Perhaps. But that's beside the point. Those pianos kind of remind me of When Love Takes Over, only in a different key. Plus, the bounce factor is apparent, and I'm not just talking about the video. Definite fist-pumping music.

Speaking of Kelly Rowland, could Mario be looking at EDM as a chance to resurrect his career? R&B is pretty much dead, so it makes sense. Judging by YouTube views, this obviously isn't his breakout track, but we may be hearing more from him in the future. The talent and potential are certainly there.

Stay key-compatible and mix with the following:

Hey - Fais ft. Afrojack, Sweet Harmony - Dubvision, DADDY - PSY, Another You - Armin Van Buuren ft. Mr. Probz, Cool - Alesso, Get Outta My Way - Kylie Minogue, Waiting For Love - Avicii, La La La - Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith, Pompeii - Bastille, Invincible - Borgeous, Dear Boy - Avicii, I Could Be the One (Avicii vs Nicky Romero) [Nicktim - Radio Edit] - Single - Avicii & Nicky Romero, The Other Side - Jason Derulo, Alive - Krewella, Easy Love - Sigala, The Veldt - EP - deadmau5

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take:  An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold.

SICKO MODE - Travis Scott ft. Drake

tempo: 69 bpm, 77-78 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm , 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song in our Entry 23 mix: This one is like the Neopolitan ice cream of music - three flavors in one. Makes sense for the younger listeners and their shorter attention spans. And as a producer / songwriter, you can take three half-finished attempts at a single, then mash them together to make a hit. Some key-compatible tracks to mix with Part I (up to ~0:59): Better Now - Post Malone Rap God - Eminem HYFR - Drake ft. Lil Wayne Pills & Automobiles - Chris Brown Glorious - Macklemore, Skylar Grey We Did It - AREA21 Another Life - Afrojack, David Guetta Both - Gucci Mane ft.
