Kanye - The Chainsmokers ft. SirenXX



tempo: 64 bpm, 128 bpm

The DJ's Take: The final song in episode #37 (13:48):



For some reason the opening piano notes remind me of the beginning of Bob Seger's We've Got Tonight:



Kind of feels like Bohemian Rhapsody; quiet interludes build up into a heavy drop. If you're spinning a set, you may want to isolate the loud parts, get in and out quickly. Or lay a looped instrumental from another song over the softer parts, like we did with Steve Aoki & will.i.am's Born To Get Wild.

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
