Songs On 12 Play - Chris Brown ft. Trey Songz

Speed: 61 bpm

The DJ's Take: How much do you want to bet that a remix with R. Kelly is in the works (assuming this takes off a little)? Nice to see the younger generation showing respect to a classic album, even if the artist has some issues we all know about. Take the song for what it is - end-of-the-night bedroom music. If closing time is only a few minutes away and you're playing in the 120 to 125 bpm range, this would be a nice way to kill the energy.

To stay key-compatible in the 125 to 130 bpm range, try double-timing or mashing up with tracks like Lay Me Down - Avicii, Adore You - Miley Cyrus (Cedric Gervais Remix), Ten Feet Tall - Afrojack, 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, F*ck You - Ceelo Green, Push It - Salt N Pepa, U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer, and Right Round - Flo Rida.

In the 120 bpm range, try mixing with tracks like Safe And Sound - Capital Cities, Bad Romance - Lady Gaga, Don't You Want Me - The Human League, and SexyBack - Justin Timberlake.

Amazon: Songs On 12 Play [Explicit]

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 .
