You Make Me - Avicii

Speed: 125 bpm The DJ's Take: I would've never guessed this was Avicii. And that's what's cool about it. As we mentioned with Wake Me Up , he's at a point where he can experiment and try things that sound a little different. Whether it's country or alt-rock that sounds like it came from the UK, my guess is that his fans will be feeling him (and there are plenty of them out there). Worth a download. On a side note, this video sort of feels like one of those old  Adult Swim bumps , right? Key-compatible mix/mashup recommendations: Booyah - Showtek , On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull , Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke , Live For The Night - Krewella , Don't Stop The Party - Pitbull , Right Now - Rihanna and David Guetta , We Found Love - Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris , Sweet Nothing - Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch , S&M - Rihanna , Bulletproof - La Roux , Low - Flo Rida , Calabria - Enur Which Avicii track do you like the best? Levels Wake

Hey Now - Martin Solveig & The Cataracs (ft. Kyle)

Speed: 128 bpm The DJ's Take: Who cares if summer is coming to an end? As long as there's warm weather and sunshine, there's still room for this track on your playlist. I imagine Hey Now would taste like Orange Crush if you could drink it. Worth a spin? Depends on the audience - play sparingly if the crowd is expecting Top 40. But if you insist, here are some companion songs that should sound ok key-wise: Take Me - Tiesto , We Run The Night - Havana Brown ft. Pitbull , Marry The Night - Lady Gaga , Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida , Danza Kuduro - Don Omar , Shut It Down - Pitbull ft. Akon , Feel So Close - Calvin Harris , F*ck You - Ceelo Green , Push It - Salt N Pepa , U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer , Right Round - Flo Rida Download the song: Amazon:
