The BMC Top 5 for January 2012




















LMFAO tracks are getting a lot of love to start the year:


BMC Top 5 Singles for January 2012:

1. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO

2. Levels - Avicii

3. Sexy And I Know It - LMFAO

4. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People

5. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown

1. 130 bpm

2. 125 bpm

3. 70 bpm

4. 100 bpm

You know what's strange? Seeing Look At Me Now jump back in at #5. Kind of random. Then again, it is the ringtone of the dude in the cubicle next to me at work, so maybe I'm missing something...

Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5? Leave a comment.

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
