Part II (On The Run) - Jay-Z ft. Beyonce



Speed: 87 bpm

 The DJ's Take: Somehow I picture this as a track that females in fancy cocktail dresses can sway to in an upscale lounge. Probably not going to blow up the club, but it's got an elegance and polish to it. In fact, I gave it the thumbs up in Pandora, which is pretty rare for me. A few mix suggestions (first two more key-compatible than the rest):

How Many Drinks - Miguel, Obsessed - Mariah Carey, Love The Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna, Roar - Katy Perry, Irreplaceable - Beyonce

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 .
