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

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

Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas

tempo: 92 bpm, switches to 123 bpm halfway through bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 120 to 125 bpm the DJ’s take:  A unique track that changes tempo halfway through - saves a dj the effort of having to come up with an energy-accelerating transition (similar deal with Just Can't Get Enough ). Decent throwback that should work during one of your quieter Top 40 nights.
