Divine Sorrow - Wyclef Jean ft. Avicii


Speed: 130 bpm

The DJ's Take: For a song called 'Divine Sorrow,' sounds pretty happy. Maybe I need to listen to lyrics more closely. This reminds me a lot of Perfect Gentleman, except Wyclef isn't talking about falling in love with a stripper (might make an interesting mix/mashup if you're a fan). Canned, easy listening if you like pop EDM, with a little Haitian flavor; worth a download for a mixtape - you may want to skip the vocal intro and start ~1:00 in. Some key-compatible mix recommendations: Light Years Away (feat. DBX) - Tiesto, The Days - Avicii, Prayer In C - Lilly Wood & The Prick and Robin Schulz, 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.

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 .
