dj mix/mashup: Gorgeous Juicy Fruit (Kanye West, Mtume, DJ Snake, Rich The Kid, T.I.)

Made with Logic Pro at 95 bpm The mission for this one was take the drum-only intro to Juicy Fruit (sampled prominently in Notorious B.I.G.'s Juicy), find some drum-less loops from various songs in this playlist and this one , lay them over each other, and hope for the best. I think I did alright with the build-up, and the heavy guitar in Kanye's Gorgeous is a worthwhile pay-off.

circuit break - sterling mercury

tempo: 120 bpm The DJ’s Take: This is my take on a traditional breakbeat, originally made in 2021. As you'll hear, I am a fan of the arpeggiator effect. If you're looking to make your own beats, Logic Pro X is worth a download - it's been cool to learn through experimentation, and good old trial & error. I added this to a couple key- and bpm-compatible playlists on djcheatsheet.com: 115-120 bpm 120-125 bpm download or stream circuit break (for free): soundcloud

dj mix/mashup: SORRY for Shaking Off My Bad Habits (ft. Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé)

Made with Logic Pro at 132 bpm Title of this mix doesn't make much sense, but we managed to fit in the names of all 3 songs somehow. I'd been wanting to lay that percussion-less intro to Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits over something, and it was nice to finally get around to it. A simple yet effective blend overall; I like how this came out. Songs come from this playlist and this one .

dj mix/mashup: RISE for One More Night (ft. Fabolous & T-Pain's Baby Don't Go)

Made with Logic Pro at 98 bpm Credit for this one goes to the youtube algorithm - didn't know Rise was the sample used in Hypnotize until a week ago. But once I isolated the famous break and went through a couple playlists on djcheatsheet.com , it all came together fairly quickly. Especially after hearing Aphex Twin's Ageispolis and knowing right away they would sound good together. One of my favorite mashups in recent months. Especially the ending - feels good to finish strong.
