Motown Philly - Boyz II Men



tempo: 115 bpm

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

the DJ’s take: New Jack Swing is sort of like the dinosaurs - it’s extinct, and no one really knows what happened, but it’s still pretty cool. In fact, scientific studies have shown that playing this gives people the irresistible urge to do the running man. Mix with tracks like Poison and It Takes Two, and watch your crowd pretend it’s really cheesy, while secretly enjoying themselves way more than they should.

If you're staying key-compatible, try mashing up with:

From 110 to 115 bpm:

Like A Prayer - Madonna
Shining - DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Beyoncé
Get Ugly - Jason Derulo
Grenade - Bruno Mars

From 115 to 120 bpm:

1999 - Prince
Tik Tok - Ke$ha
Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) - Felix Jaehn ft. Jasmine Thompson
I Don't Like It, I Love It - Flo Rida
Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson
All My Love (Remix) - Major Lazer
Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars

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 .

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
