Swish Swish - Katy Perry ft. Nicki Minaj



tempo: 120 bpm

bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm120 to 125 bpm

the dj's take: Basically a 90s euro dance track with one of the cringier videos in recent memory. Makes me want to splash on some obnoxious cologne, slick my hair back, and drop awful pickup lines on indifferent women in a smoky nightclub. That said, the artists are notable, so give it a go on a pop night and see how the crowd responds.

If you're at 115 to 120 bpm, try mixing with:

Anywhere - Dillon Francis
Treasure - Bruno Mars

And from 120 to 125 bpm (scroll down in the box below):

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.
