Speed: 122.5 bpm
Recommended bpm range: 120 to 125 bpm, 125 to 130 bpm
The DJ's Take: We covered this one in the newsletter a couple weeks ago, and it looks like there's some staying power here. Doesn't have the sunny disposition you'd expect from a pop dance hit, but has a steady bounce and groove to keep things moving. If you're in the 120 bpm range and want to brighten it up a little, try blending with tracks like How Will I Know - Whitney Houston, Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper, and I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston (or Jaded - Disclosure if you're maintaining a more serious vibe).
If you're bumping up to 125 bpm +, try mixing with songs like A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay, You Make Me - Avicii, On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull,Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke, Live For The Night - Krewella, Don't Stop The Party - Pitbull, Right Now - Rihanna and David Guetta, We Found Love - Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris, S&M - Rihanna, Bulletproof - La Roux, Low (feat. T-Pain) - Flo Rida, and Calabria 2007 - Enur.
