Stay The Night - Zedd ft. Hayley Williams



Speed: 128 bpm

The DJ's Take: I don't know - this feels like a hit, but for reasons that are beyond my understanding. The support will likely come from artsy, sensitive teens and young adults who are tweeting some variation of 'OMG! This is so amazing! #zedd #hayley #love.' Much more of a pop ballad than EDM, and sounds way too much like Clarity, but those may ultimately be the selling points. 

Besides Clarity, try mixing/matching with the following to stay bpm and key-compatible: I Love It - Icona Pop, Cannonball - Showtek & Justin Prime, Under Control - Calvin Harris & Alesso, Animals - Martin Garrix, This Is What It Feels Like - Armin Van Buuren, Turn Up The Music - Chris Brown, Wild Ones - Flo Rida ft. Sia, Beautiful People - Chris Brown, Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO, Firework - Katy Perry, I Like It - Enrique Iglesias

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
