Hey Brother - Avicii



tempo: 125 bpm

bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm, 125 to 130 bpm

 The DJ's Take: Track #2 in mix #37 (1:10):



The chorus makes me think of a Hulk Hogan diatribe from the 80s. Seems like someone was thinking the same thing awhile back:



9.5/10 on the concept, 5.2/10 on the execution; a little sloppy. Needs a re-fresh when the time is right.

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 .
