HeadBand - B.o.B ft. 2 Chainz



Speed: 97.5 bpm

 The DJ's Take: Feel like I've been hearing this a lot lately. The appeal is pretty simple - well-placed whistles get right in your ear and don't leave for months on end (see Juelz Santana and Flo Rida for recent examples). Probably getting some serious play in the South, and definitely worth a download. 

Ideally, you're staying in the basic bpm range and mixing with key-compatible tracks like Trillmatic - A$AP Mob, Rack City, Juicy, Say Aah, and even Drop It Like It's Hot (on the slower end) or Hip Hop Hooray and Going Back to Cali on the faster end (then maybe jump into the 100 to 105 bpm range with Love More, Mo Money Mo Problems, and Turn Me On).

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

dj mix/mashup: Sweet Dreams, Middle Child (ft. J. Cole, Christopher Cross, The O'Jays, Eurythmics, and Giorgio Moroder)

Made with Logic Pro at 125 bpm Simple recipe for this one - take loops from the songs in chase and backstab like the wind and mix them over J. Cole's Middle Child. Just between you and me, I think I might like this one a little better. More of a contemporary feel. Try messing playing around with the Dj Cheat Sheet playlist I used and see what you can come up with.
