Somebody to Love (Remix) - Justin Bieber ft. Usher



tempo: 130 bpm

bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm, 130 to 135 bpm

The DJ’s Take: You think Justin Bieber feels sentimental watching his old videos? Or embarrassed? Maybe both. Anyway, it's kind of like watching Michael Jackson as a kid. Cute dance track with another superstar, and the true Bieber fans should get a kick out of it. Although in the power rankings of songs called Somebody To Love, I'm putting this #3 behind Queen and Jefferson Airplane.

By the way, if you're back-to-school shopping, here's a glow-in-the-dark backpack - perfect for reminiscing, or hazing your friends:

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

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take:  An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold.

Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars

tempo: 115 bpm bpm range:   115  to  120 bpm the DJ's take: Mix or mash up with James Brown's Living In America , and you'll have done about the best thing you can with this track. A banner track for the 2010s. Seriously overplayed everywhere in the past couple years, so let it breathe a little and pick your spots.
