Popular posts from this blog

Starboy - The Weeknd, Daft Punk

tempo: 93 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #6 in our chapter 53 mix (11:38): As we saw with the I Wonder lead-in, that percussion-only intro makes this easier to mix and to play around with. Also melts nicely into Nine Inch Nails' Closer . In fact, even though I know when the transition's coming, it still creeps up on me a bit. Still worth a spot in your prime-time pop rotation. Some other key-compatible music: Old Thing Back - Matoma & Notorious BIG Back To Sleep - Chris Brown One More Chance (Remix) - Notorious BIG Shoop - Salt N Pepa Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift This Is How We Do - Katy Perry Na Na - Trey Songz Paranoid - Ty Dolla $ign No Games - Serani Download or stream Starboy: spotify playlist amazon

Throwback Thursday: Billie Jean - Michael Jackson

Tempo: 117 bpm Bpm range: 115 to 120 bpm The DJ’s Take:  An iconic pop track that any dj should have in their rotation. No excuses. A good list of key-compatible songs to mix or mash up with, including: Solo Dance - Martin Jensen Routine - Alan Walker x David Whistle Safe And Sound - Justice D.A.N.C.E. - Justice Say My Name - ODESZA ft. Zyra This Town (Tiesto Remix) - Niall Horan Welcome - Martin Garrix & Julian Jordan Get Lucky - Daft Punk If you're willing to drop a couple bpm's, blending this with Poison - Bell Biv Devoe is pure gold. Download or stream the song: Apple Music iTunes Amazon

SICKO MODE - Travis Scott ft. Drake

tempo: 69 bpm, 77-78 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm , 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song in our Entry 23 mix: This one is like the Neopolitan ice cream of music - three flavors in one. Makes sense for the younger listeners and their shorter attention spans. And as a producer / songwriter, you can take three half-finished attempts at a single, then mash them together to make a hit. Some key-compatible tracks to mix with Part I (up to ~0:59): Better Now - Post Malone Rap God - Eminem HYFR - Drake ft. Lil Wayne Pills & Automobiles - Chris Brown Glorious - Macklemore, Skylar Grey We Did It - AREA21 Another Life - Afrojack, David Guetta Both - Gucci Mane ft. Drake Pick Up The Phone - Young Thug, Travis Scott GDFR - Flo Rida Inside Out - The Chainsmokers Private Show - TI ft.
