It Won't Stop - Sevyn Streeter ft. Chris Brown




Speed: 60 bpm

The DJ's Take: If someone asked me to pick between We Can't Stop and It Won't Stop, I'm going with the latter. Sensible strategy here - add a much more recognized name in Chris Brown after the original release and see if it helps you make more of a push up the charts. And you know what? Not bad. Not bad at all. Fingersnaps, fake guitar with a nostalgic echo, faintly pulsing synth, and emotive vocals. In fact, after the first listen, I immediately thought, 'Somewhere in the world, someone has choreographed a slow and sensual dance routine to this track.' Lo and behold, I was right.

In any case, It Won't Stop is end-of-the-night music for a dj. Picture this - you're spinning in a Boston bar at 1:45 am, rocking the crowd with Get Lucky, manager's telling you time to wrap things up, and you need something that'll let everyone down easy. Key-compatible, and you can probably beatmatch seamlessly. Worth a download.

Editor's Note: I've seen some comments on YouTube about how this sounds like an Aaliyah song. Sure does.

Lucky You - Eminem ft. Joyner Lucas

tempo: 76-77 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: I was wondering why the phrase 'Lucky You' sounded familiar... then remembered my Lucky Brand jeans say this behind the zipper: So let's say you're on a date. Things are going well, relations commence, and your companion sees that message. Cute? Or a mood killer? Either way, that's a lot of bravado to live up to. Brings to mind Brick Tamland in Anchorman: As for the track, try mixing with: Bam - Jay-Z ft. Damian Marley PIE - Future ft. Chris Brown Stitches - Shawn Mendes download or stream Lucky You: amazon itunes

Stay - The Kid LAROI ft. Justin Bieber

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Song #9 in episode #65 of our mix show (22:29): Cool transition out of Scarface's Guess Who's Back ; loop that properly and you've got an interesting potential beat / mashup. And then we slide into T-Pain and Kehlani's I Like Dat to slow down the pace and take us into the home stretch. A must-spin for any pop dj - serves up a burst of bouncy energy for the youth who've been cooped up for awhile now.
