dj mix/mashup: I'm Ready For Your Beautiful Flames (ft. Ed Sheeran, Sia and David Guetta)

Made with Logic Pro at 93 bpm Inspiration for this one came from re-visiting a transition in an old mix - sounded interesting, added a couple songs from this playlist , and it came together pretty quickly. Call me biased, but without DJ Cheat Sheet , I'd have a harder time getting anything going at all.

Logic Pro Tutorial: Using Musical Grid to Cut Song Clips with Precision

Interesting mix of two songs, but I couldn't find a new direction beyond the initial loop, so we turned it into a tutorial. Nothing fancy, and maybe not the most efficient methods, but this is a good demo of how I start a mix or mashup. And maybe you'll see something you can use in the future. Featured songs: Power - Kanye West + Sunshine - Ant Beale, Charlie Heat

dj mix/mashup: a midnight city classic (Shalamar, Tame Impala, M83, The Knocks)

Made with Logic Pro at 101 bpm Solid four song mix, and we even managed to squeeze in a bridge via Breathe Deeper . I'm so used to thinking I'm almost done with one of these, then hearing something I don't like on the 28th listen, and going back to the drawing board. This came together faster than expected for once. All praise to the mashup gods 🙏 Here's the playlist we drew from

dj mix/mashup: be without your mask off (Mary J. Blige, Future, Drake)

Made with Logic Pro at 69 bpm So I've been sitting on this since early December; an example of a mix I wasn't really happy with, but sank enough hours into, and thought there was still something interesting there. Sound feels a bit thin, not enough bass (loops I chose either didn't have enough or had so much that I adjusted the EQ to tone it down), and the drums are a bit much - or not enough - depending on the headphones you're using. On a side note: none of these songs really fit into any of the playlists on djcheatsheet.com melodically, and I didn't want to make a separate 3 song list, so these will be floating on their own island for now. In the meantime, hope you like this better than I do, or you find something compelling you can develop on your own. Featured songs: Be Without You - Mary J. Blige Mask Off - Future Hotline Bling - Drake
