Knock You Down - Keri Hilson ft. Ne-Yo and Kanye West



tempo: 77 bpm

bpm range: 75 bpm to 80 bpm

the DJ’s take: Put three stars from the late 2000s together over a sweeping beat and you've got a hit. Built to be blasted over a big speaker system, and worth dropping if you're spinning slower pop.

If you're operating at a bpm in the high 70s, try mixing or mashing up with:

I Need A Doctor - Dr. Dre ft. Eminem
Welcome to Jamrock - Damian Marley
See You Again - Wiz Khalifa
Stick Talk - Future

If you're in the low 80s, try going with:

Myself - NAV
Reminder - The Weeknd
Bounce - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne
Gotta Lotta - 2 Chainz ft. Lil Wayne
Party - Beyoncé
Come & Get It - Selena Gomez

dj mix/mashup: do you think of me [mariah carey] x always forever [bryson tiller]

Links: Made with Logic Pro at 72 bpm Fun little instrumental blend of Bryson Tiller's Always Forever , which we used in mix 66 , and Mariah Carey's Do You Think of Me , which ended up on the cutting room floor. As you can see up top, I broke out the scalpel and did some slicing to make the beats match up better. Final verdict: Worth it. Follow the playlist on djcheatsheet.com

DJ mix/mashup: no can do because of you (ft. Hall & Oates and Ne-Yo)

Made with Logic Pro at 113 bpm A quick clip from the last mix , and one of my favorite transitions in it. Kind of alluring, mysterious; maybe we can make a more fully realized remix/mashup someday. If you're wondering what the image is in the background at the start of the video, those are quahogs and a channeled whelk I dug out of the sand in low tide on a recent beach trip. Pretty solid haul, and good eating for sure. Although I probably should've kept them separate - apparently whelks like to eat the clams .
