Big Things Poppin

Big Things Poppin - T.I.

tempo: 85 bpm

bpm range: 80 bpm to 85 bpm, 85 bpm to 90 bpm

the DJ’s take: Perfect music for a workout, a pep rally, or a desperate all-night study session right before an exam. The piano and the guitar work well off each other, and T.I. rides the beat like a pro. If you're spinning hiphop or doing a freeform set at a dive bar, get this one in the playlist.

Try mixing or mashing up with:

Between 80 and 85 bpm:

Gotta Lotta - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne
See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth
The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez
Party - Beyoncé
Come & Get It - Selena Gomez
Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne

And from 85 to 90 bpm:

Love The Way You Lie - Eminem & Rihanna
Irreplaceable - Beyoncé
At My Best - Machine Gun Kelly ft. Hailee Steinfeld
Started From The Bottom - Drake

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.
