A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays - De La Soul



tempo: 115 bpm

bpm range: 110 to 115 bpm, 115 to 120 bpm

the DJ’s take: Can we make this the universal theme song for Saturdays? Just a pure, unadulterated groove. I used to have the vinyl version and it was one of my favorites. If you like early 90s hiphop, pick this up and sample some hiphop history.

Some tracks to try mixing with:

From 110 to 115 bpm:

Kiss - Prince
Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle
Safe And Sound - Justice
D.A.N.C.E. - Justice
Fast Car - Jonas Blue ft. Dakota
C O O L - Le Youth
Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra
Poison - Bel Biv Devoe
Mic Jack - Big Boi, Adam Levine
It Takes Two - Rob Base, DJ EZ Rock

And from 115 to 120 bpm:

Solo Dance - Martin Jensen
This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan
Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Get Lucky - Daft Punk

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 .
