Rude Boy - Rihanna



tempo: 87 bpm

bpm range: 85 to 90 bpm

the DJ’s take: For all the times Rihanna asks whether you can “get it up” in the hook, is there any doubt this should be in a Viagra ad? Seriously though, a high-impact track that's gotten lost in the shuffle considering all her other mega-hits. Blow the dust off this one and see if your crowd remembers.

Some other key-compatible singles to mix or mash up with:

Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z
Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys
Famous - Kanye West
Back to Back - Drake
Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z
Energy - Drake
The Black The Berry - Kendrick Lamar
Black Widow - Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora
Reaper - Sia
Remember Me - T.I. ft. Mary J. Blige

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 .
