Kids - OneRepublic



Speed: 100 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 95 to 100 bpm, 100 to 105 bpm

The DJ's Take: Sounds like a more refined form of 80s synth pop. Would add an invigorating couple of minutes to a roadtrip playlist, or a Top 40 set, considering the group and the solid initial reception it's getting on iTunes & Spotify. If you're around 102-103 bpm, try mixing with key-compatible tracks like:

I'm In Control - AlunaGeorge
Perfect (Matoma Remix) - One Direction
Cheyenne - Jason Derulo
Shots - Imagine Dragons
Classic - The Knocks
Sleeping With A Friend - Neon Trees
Midnight City - M83
Alejandro - Lady Gaga
LoveGame - Lady Gaga
Nasty Boy - Notorious BIG

If you're in the 95 to 100 bpm range, consider integrating with:

Same Old Love - Selena Gomez
What's The Difference - Dr. Dre
Nuthin' But A G Thang - Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg
Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Remix) [feat. Jay-Z] - Kanye West
679 - Fetty Wap, Style - Taylor Swift
Candy Rain - Soul For Real
Check The Rhime - A Tribe Called Quest

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

Famous - Kanye West

Speed: 87 bpm bpm range: 85 bpm to 90 bpm The DJ's Take: The leadoff song in our tenthirtynine mix: Good illustration of the saying 'less is more.' Simple, minimal beat with a heavier version of the drums from Good Morning and then a nice little breakdown into the Sister Nancy sample . A proper thump for almost any weekend gig. Try mixing with tracks like: Call Out My Name - The Weeknd Plain Jane - A$AP Ferg Feel Me Flow - Naughty By Nature No Limit - G-Eazy ft. A$AP Rocky, Cardi B Rude Boy - Rihanna Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys Back to Back - Drake Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Energy - Drake The Black The Berry - Kendrick Lamar Just A Dream - Nelly Remember Me - T.I. ft. Mary J.
