Climax - Usher



tempo: 68 bpm

bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm

The DJ's Take: So I tried to do the Usher falsetto at some karaoke spot around East Village in Manhattan a few years ago, and almost ended up pulling a Peter Brady. The ladies were not impressed. Anyway, this is straight futuristic end-of-the-night music from Diplo. Worth a spin at the end of a pop / r&b set.

A couple key-compatible tracks between 65 and 70 bpm:

RGF Island - Fetty Wap
Say My Name - Destiny's Child

And some more from 70 to 73 bpm:

OMG - Camila Cabello
All Night - The Vamps & Matoma
Broccoli - D.R.A.M. ft. Lil Yachty
Trophies - Drake
Low Life - Future + The Weeknd
Blood On the Money - Future
Give Me A Try - Sizzla
Boyfriend #2 - Pleasure P
Crank That - Soulja Boy

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 .
