Beautiful - Akon ft. Colby O'Donis and Kardinal Offishall



tempo: 129 bpm

bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm

the DJ’s take: Can't lie - this one still makes my toe tap. One of the bigger hits from the late 2000s, and a track that I spun on a regular basis when it came out. Easy to beat match, easy on the ears, and has an ethereal, timeless quality. Worth a long-term spot in the library.

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
